Dancing In the Kingdom – Part 1 – Shadows of the Kingdom – Chapter 1 – Prelude
[Bible references: Genesis 6-11]
Following the introduction of sin into the world, the rebellion of God increased to the point where God saw fit to destroy all of mankind apart from Noah and his family with a great flood.[1] After the flood, the rebellion continued in the form of the tower of Babel where people saw fit to make a name for themselves instead of lifting up God. God responded by confusing their languages which caused them to spread out, and ultimately form different nations.
In general, the descendants of Japheth include the Europeans; the descendants of Shem include the Middle Easterners (including the nation of Israel), and the descendants of Ham includes the Africans, the Amorites and the Canaanites.

There is some evidence of a local flood in the Mesopotamian area or in the Black Sea area. There is also abundant evidence of flood stories from around the world.”
Observe
Read Genesis 10 then find a map that show how the nations spread out. (e.g. www.columbiabible.com/2016/06/22/genesis). From which of Noah’s sons might you have descended from?
