Genesis 10 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read Genesis 10.

Meditate on verse 32.

 

These are the families of the son of Noah,

according to their genealogies, by their nations;

and out of these the nations were separated on the earth after the flood.

 

From the three sons of Noah, the whole earth was populated (Genesis 9:19).  The sons and grandsons of Japheth, Ham, and Shem are listed in Genesis 10.  These are the men from whom all the nations on earth began.

God gave additional details about one man in this genealogy, like He did for Enoch in Adam’s genealogy (Genesis 5:21-24).  God wanted you to know more about Nimrod.

Nimrod was the founder and leader of Babel.  According to Hebrew scholars, C.F. Keil and F. Delitzsch, Nimrod means “we will revolt.”  He may have hunted animals, but in the context of these verses, Nimrod was a hunter, a killer of humans.  He walked in rebellion before God to make himself mighty on earth and to establish his kingdom.

God told you about Nimrod, so you would learn from Nimrod.  Examine your life.  Do you walk with God like Enoch did?  Or do you rebelliously walk before God like Nimrod did?

Pray not to be Genesis 10:8-9 for yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, You are the Mighty One on the earth.


Do not let ________ and me try to become what

only You can be.  Do not let us do anything before You.


Continue to make us like Enoch, walking with You (Genesis 5:24).

 In Your name, Jesus~”
