Now it is time for our verse break down:

Genesis 10:6
And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.

The previous verses named the sons and grandsons of Japheth. This verse begins a section describing the descendants of Ham and the nations that came from them. These peoples and nations will become integral to Israel's story and they are familiar names to this day. Ham's first generation of sons included Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan. Each of their lines will be described in the following verses.

Egypt is also known as Mizraim and the original Hebrew text uses the word Misra'yim here. In ancient literature, the names of nations and their founders were often used interchangeably, such as with Edom and Esau (Obadiah 1:8–10). Since the purpose of this passage is explaining the origins of the various ancient kingdoms, many English translations simply state this name as "Egypt."

Genesis 10:7
And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.

Starting in verse 6, this passage begins to detail the nations which came from Ham. This verse expands on the nations which originated from Ham's son Cush. Following the events surrounding the Tower of Babel described in Genesis 11, the descendants of Noah's grandson Cush settled in Arabia and in areas of present day Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. They include Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Sabteca, and Raamah, along with Raamah's sons Sheba and Dedan.

Genesis 10:8
And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.

Dropped into the middle of this table of nations is a fascinating historical aside about Nimrod, one of the sons of Cush. Initially, we're told that Nimrod was the first on earth to become a "mighty man" or "champion," indicating that he was a powerful and renowned ruler. The Hebrew phrasing here can mean that Nimrod simply "began" to be mighty, or it can be interpreted to mean that he was the first person to attain that level of might.

Interestingly, in many English-speaking countries, the term "nimrod" is used to imply that a person is stupid, slow-witted, or incompetent. Various popular artists in the 1920s and 1930s sarcastically referred to specific hunters as "Nimrod," and popular culture eventually overtook the original implications of the term.

Genesis 10:9
He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.

Here, Nimrod is described as a mighty hunter before the Lord. Some scholars suggest that perhaps Nimrod is associated with the kings of Mesopotamia or Assyria, who valued hunting as a greatly honored skill. It's unlikely that the phrase "before the Lord" means that Nimrod was faithful to the true God.

It's more likely to mean that Nimrod was famous on the earth, where everything is before the Lord.
In fact, some scholars believe that Nimrod's skill in hunting might have led him to skill in battle, and built the basis for his success. His name is similar to the Hebrew word for "rebellion," and traditionally he was considered a dictator and tyrant.

The nation-states founded by Nimrod, including Nineveh, Assyria, and Babel, will become some of Israel's chief enemies. Nimrod was so famous for his hunting skill that being like Nimrod, "a mighty hunter before the Lord," became a common saying in the world.

In the modern English-speaking world, the term "nimrod" is used as an insult, mostly to someone's intelligence. This is due to a series of sarcastic references in the 1920s and 1930s, which mocked an inept hunter as "Nimrod," replacing the reputation of that name with almost the exact opposite!

Genesis 10:10
And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

Nimrod also built a series of kingdoms for himself. Beginning in the land known as Shinar, Nimrod established his kingdom with Babel (or Babylon), Erech, Accad, and Calneh. Traditionally, Nimrod is viewed as an early tyrant—a dictator of considerable power.

As the following verse will reveal, many parts of Nimrod's kingdom will eventually become powerful enemies to Israel. These include kingdoms such as Assyria and Nineveh. The city of Babel will become the focal point of the next chapter as the events around the building of the Tower of Babel unfold (Genesis 11:1–9).

Genesis 10:11
Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah,

Apparently a great ruler of the time, he is described as a mighty hunter before the Lord.
Most traditions of the time also paint Nimrod as a tyrant, wielding great power in his lifetime.
After establishing his kingdom in the region of Shinar in the south, Nimrod moved north into Assyria.

oh say. According to Wilson Centerdot Org. Ira Berlin, Distinguished University

(04:23):
Professor, Department of History, Universityof Maryland, author and A. Dall
At Alexander Associate Professor of History,George Washington University commentator, slavery has been
the norm in the American experience.Ira Berlin noted in a Division of United

(04:45):
States Studies program devoted to his Generationsof Captivity. The United States condoned slavery
for far many more years than ithas lived without the particular institution, which
was long central to the economic,political, and cultural life of the nation.
It remains a pervasive problem in Americanlife, as evidenced by the current

(05:08):
spate of movies, television, docudramas, and new monuments and museums devoted
to slavery, as well as debateover reparation. All Right, the study
of slavery, Berlin com commented,tells us something about ourselves as a people.
Berlin, perhaps the nation's preeminent historianof the subject, sees slavery as

(05:32):
consisting of too equally important, thoughseemingly contradictory phenomenal. Slavery was violence and
death, arising from a system ofdomination to human beings that was endorsed by
the state. But slavery was alsolife and creativity, the creativity of slaves

(05:53):
who fashioned a rich legacy of religionand families, music and dance, philosophy,
and culture, without which American lifewould be impoverished. It is only
by assessing this creative power of slaveryin the context of the violence of the
system as a whole that historians canbegin to understand the importance and impact of

(06:15):
slavery. A single snapshot is insufficientto depict slavery, as both Berlin and
Dale Alexander emphasized, slaves were agentsas well as victims, maintaining a vibrant
culture while negotiating the terms of theircaptivity as best they could. In generations
of captivity, Professor Berlin described slaveryas five chronologically overlapping sets of generations.

(06:44):
First, the charter generations of Africansin the North America, before the plantation
system emerged, were made up ofslaves who were intimately familiar with European culture
and worked to integrate themselves into thelaw just society. Their identity was fluid.
Almost one fifth of them eventually gainedtheir freedom. The late second the

(07:11):
late seventeenth to early nineteenth century sawthe emergence of tobacco, rice, and
sugar plantations, and, with theirheavy demands for labor, exploitation increased.
For what Berlin caused the plantation generations. Now their members worked harder and died
younger. In this period, largeparts of the United States moved from a

(07:33):
society with slaves in which slavery isincidental to public or communal interaction, to
one of a slave society, inwhich every interaction is colored and shaped by
the influences of slavery. Number three, The effects of the ideological shifts that

(07:53):
came with the American, French,and Haitian revolutions in the late eighteenth century
were crucial to the slave experience.The language of liberty, equality, and
fraternity divided the owner class. Therevolutionary generations of the late eighteenth and early
nineteenth centuries led to the north toabandoned slavery, increasing the country's free black

(08:16):
population, leading to a reconstruction ofblack life as the African American community developed
a new economy, schools, andchurches, even as controls on slaves in
the southern coastal state's heart and inresponse. It was during this period as

(08:37):
well that slaves and ex slaves beganto identify themselves with Africa as a whole,
rather than with their particular tribe orlocal group number four. Between eighteen
ten and eighteen sixty one, morethan a million slaves in the migration generations,
enduring what Berlin describes as the SecondMiddle Passage, during which they were

(09:01):
forced across the continent to new cottonand sugar plantations in the southern interior.
This was the period during which familiesand communities were ripped apart, and the
Black Belt became economically dominant. Iain't now number five. Finally, the

(09:22):
freedom generations of the Civil War andpost Civil War periods faced the ta the
task of defining freedom for themselves asthey reconstructed families and community institutions. Professor
Alexander emphasized the importance of understanding slaveryas changing along with their largest society.

(09:46):
She described Professor Berlin's categories as acrucial ordering of the chaos that can characterize
the study of history, the particularlyuh or, and particularly of a facet
of history that existed largely outside thenotice of historians for many decades. All

(10:07):
right now, blessings to all,Welcome again. I am jury, and
this portion of our study covers Ham'ssons. Right now, the people and
the nations that came from Ham willbecome central to Israel's story as told in
the rest of the Bible. Ham'sdescendants included the peoples who will eventually become

(10:28):
Egypt, the great nation that willplay a pivotal and ongoing role in Israel's
history. Ham's grandson Nimrod, throughCush, will establish the powerful kingdoms of
Babylon and Assyria, who will bothbecome enemies of Israel and the descendants of
Ham's son Canaan will eventually be mostdriven from the promised Land by the Israelites.

(10:54):
As you can see, Ham hadother sons, but the course was
only of me. But the Chariswas only upon Cadan. Why it was
not upon the others I am notprepared to see. From Catan came the
Phoenicians, the Headtites, the Jebusites, the Amorrights, the gergis Shites,

(11:15):
the Heaviites, so on and soforth. And from Ham's son Cush came
the Africans, the Ethiopians, theEgyptians, the Libyans, and so on
and so forth. All of theseraces are hermatic. You see, now
we have some detailed regarding a sonof Cush. It is now time to

(11:37):
open our hearts, minds, andsouls to the Word of God. Our
scripture will be coming from Genesis chapterten, verses six through twenty King James
version. That is, Genesis chapterten, verses six through twenty King James
version. Let's read and the sonsof Ham Kush and Misriem and Fut and

(12:03):
Canaan, and the sons of Kush, Siba and Havilah and Sabta and Reama
and Sabtika, and the sons ofReamah Sheba and Dda and Kush Begat Nimrod,
he began to be a mighty onein the earth. He was a
mighty hunter before the Lord. Whereforeit is said even as Nimrod the mighty

(12:24):
hunter before the Lord, and thebeginning of his kingdom was Babel and Erech
and Akhad and Kelmah in the landof Shinar. Out of that land went
forth Asher and builded Nineveh and thecity of Rehoboth, and Calah, and
reason between Nineveh and Kala the sameas a great city, and Misraim Begat

(12:46):
Ludim and Anamim and Lahabim, andNath to him and Pethrusim and castle Him,
out of whom came Philistim and Kapturim, and Canaan Begat sigh Ian his
firstborn, and Heath, and theJebusite, and the Amorite, and the
Gurgosite, and the Highvite, andthe Archite, and the Cyanite, and

(13:09):
the Artivite, and the Zamorite andthe Hamothite. And afterward were the families
of the Canaanites spread abroad, andthe border of the Canaanites was from Sidon,
as thou comest to Ghirar unto Gaza, as thou goest unto Sodom,
and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboam evenunto Lasia. These are the sons of

(13:31):
Ham, after their families, aftertheir tongues, in their countries and in
their nations. Hooray. Now wewill beginning into our verse breakdown right starting
with Genesis chapter ten, verse six, and the sons of Ham Cush and

(13:54):
Misrael and Put and Canaan. Nowthese previous verses named the sons and grandsons
of j Fifth. But now thisverse begins a section describing the Uh descendants
of Ham and the nations that camefrom them. All right, now,

(14:15):
these peoples and nations will become intraintegral to the Uh to Israel's story,
and they are familiar names to thisday. Ham's first generation of sons included
Kush, Egypt, Put, andCaden. Each of their lines will be
described in the following verses. Egyptis also known as Miserum, and the

(14:37):
original Heathen text uses the word Misraelumhere. In ancient literature, the names
of UH nations and their founders wereoften used interchangeably, such as with Edelm
and Esau, and we could findinformation on that in Obadiah chapter one,

(14:58):
verses eight through ten. Since thepurpose of this passage is explaining the origins
of the various ancient kingdoms, manyEnglish translations simply state this name as Echa.
All right, moving on to verseseven, and the sons of Kush,
the Siva and Havilah and Sapta andRealma and Septeca, and the sons

(15:22):
of Realma, Sheba and Ddan.Starting in verse six, this passage begins
to detail the nations which came fromHam. This verse expands on the nations
which originated from Ham's son Kush,following the events surrounding the Tower of Babel
described in Genesis chapter eleven. Thedescendants of Noah's grandson Kush settled in Arabia

(15:48):
and in areas of present day Egypt, Sudan, and Ethiopia. They include
Seba, Havilah, Sapta, Sapteca, and Realma, along with Realm of
sons Sheba and d Dan. Rightnow moving on to verse eight, and
Kush begat Nimrod. He began tobe a mighty one in the Earth.

(16:11):
Right now, Dropped into the middleof this table of nations is the fascinating
historical side. Uh uh, Well, a fascinating historical a side about Nimrod,
one of the sons of Kush.Initially, UH, we're told that
Nimrod was the first on earth tobecome a mighty man or a champion,

(16:33):
indicating that he was a powerful andrenowned ruler. Now the uh Hebrew phrasing
here it can mean that Nimrod simplybegan to be mighty, or it can
be interpreted to mean that he wasthe first person to attain that level of
might. Interestingly, in many Englishspeaking countries, the term Nimrod is used

(16:56):
to imply that a person is stupid, slow witted, or incompetent. Various
popular artists in the nineteen twenties innineteen thirties sarcastically referred to specific hunters as
Nimrod, and popular culture eventually overtookthe original implications of the term. Right

(17:17):
now, moving on to Genesis verseUH. Genesis ten, verse nine,
he was a mighty hunter before theLord. Wherefore it is said even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. Here Nimrod is described as a mighty
hunter before the Lord and uh Somescholars suggest that perhaps Nimrod is associated with

(17:42):
the kings of Mesopotamia or Assyria,who valued hunting as a greatly on its
skill. It's unlikely that the phrasebefore the Lord means that Nimrod was faithful
to the true God. It ismore likely to mean that Nimrod was famous

(18:03):
on the earth where everything is beforethe Lord. In fact, some scholars
believe that Nimrod's skill in hunting mayhave led him to skill in battle and
built the basis for his success.His name is similar to the Hebrew word
for rebellion, and traditionally he wasconsidered a dictator and tyrants. The nation

(18:27):
of states founded by Nimrod, includingNineveh, Assyria, and Babble, will
become some of uh Israel's chief enemies. Nimrod was so famous for his hunting
skill that being like Nimrod, itmight a hunter before the Lord became a
common saying in the world. Inthe modern English speaking world, the term

(18:49):
Nimrod is used as an insult,mostly to someone's intelligence. Now this is
due to a series of sarcastic referencesin the nineteen twenties and thirties, which
UH marked and in elp hunter asNimrod, replacing the Uh reputation of that

(19:11):
name with almost the exact ops rightnow, moving on to verse ten,
and the beginning of his kingdom wasBabbo and Erect and Acad and Kaldna in
the land of Shina, Nimrod alsobuilt a series of kingdoms for himself,

(19:33):
beginning in the land known as China. Nimrod established his kingdom with Baba or
Babylon, Erect, Acad, andCalda. Traditionally, Nimrod is Uh.
Nimrod is Uh viewed as an earlytyrant, a dictator of considerable power.

(19:53):
As the following verse will reveal,many ports of Nimrod's kingdom will eventually become
powerful enemies to Israel. These includekingdoms such as Assyria and Uh nine of
'em. The city of Babel willbecome the focal point of the next chapter
as the events around the building ofthe Tower of Babel unfold, as we

(20:17):
can find in Genesis chapter eleven.All right, moving on to verse eleven,
out of that land went forth Ashureand build at Nineveh and the city
of Real both and Calda, apparentlya great ruler of the time. He
is described as a mighty hunter beforethe lord. Most traditions of that time

(20:38):
or of the time also paint Nemorrodas a tyrant wielding great power in his
lifetime. After establishing his kingdom inthe region of Shinar in the south,
Nemrod moved north to Assyria, andthere he built Uh, a great city
of Ninah or the great city ofnine of Uh, and Uh the close

(21:00):
by towns of Real both Er,Calenda, and those mentioned in the following
verses oright now later in scripture nineOfveh and the Assyrians will become famous for
their might, cruelty, and wickedness. And God will Uh send the prophet
Jonah to take a message of salvationto the people of Nineveh, and Jonah

(21:25):
will resist. Now these ruins ofNineveh remained to this day, nor modern
city or north the modern city ofMissour in Iraq. Right now, moving
on to verse twelve and raising betweenNineveh and Calenda the same as a great
city. This verse concludes the biographicalaside about Nimrod in Chapter ten's Table of

(21:49):
Nations. Nimrod, a descendant ofNoah's son Ham, was a mighty man
who established the kingdom of his ownin the regions of China and Assyria.
Raising, mentioned in this verse isthe final of Nimrod's cities to be mentioned.
The name Raising is likely meant fountainHead, and the city may have

(22:11):
been situated on the Tigris River.In the future, Nemrod's descendants will become
some of Israel's greatest enemies. Theywill also be directly involved in some of
the Old Testament's most unfortunate incidents.Among these, as seen in the next
chapter, is Uh the incident atthe Taiwo of Babel found in Genesis chapter

(22:33):
eleven. All right now, movingon to verse thirteen, and misraem Begat
Lutum, and an Amen and Leyhave been and Neph to him all right
now. Ham's sons included cush Put, Cadan, and Egypt or Misrael right

(22:55):
now. In the original Hebrew,this particular son's name is Misrael. Some
English traditional translations used Misrim here.The Hebrew Old Testament, however, always
referred to then refers to the nationof Egypt, using the word Misrim,
both in Genesis and the story ofExodus. Now. For this reason,

(23:18):
many translations simply used Egypt to avoidconfusion. Misriums and or Egypt's sons are
listed here and in the following verseas well. Moving on to Uh versus
UH fourteen and pet Throughsum and causelewedhim out of whom came Philistem and kept

(23:47):
Taureum. In uh Old Testament Hebrew, the only word used for this person
or the nation who came after himis miseram. Right now, this later
becomes the nation of Egypt, andsince that is how typical English speakers define
that land today, most modern Englishtranslations stick to Egypt whenever this term arises,

(24:11):
and it's so much easier to pronounce. Egypt was one of the sons
of Ham and the son of Nor. Following the Tower of Babel, the
descendants of Egypt generally settled in andaround the lands that make up what would
become known as the Great Nation ofEgypt. Israel's relationship with Egypt would be

(24:33):
long and complicated. Early on,they would be kind and supportive to the
people of Israel other as we canfind in Genesis chapter fifty, but this
would soon turn into subjection and slaveryfound in Exodus chapter one. Israel would
also have a long and complicated relationshipwith the Philistines through. Though there is

(24:55):
some question as to whether the Philistinesmentioned here are the same ones Reel fought
in the time of David. Mostscholars believe that this passage refers only to
the Philistine people passing through an area, not necessarily originating in it. All
right, Now, moving on toverse fifteen, and Cadan Begat said on

(25:18):
his firstborn and health. After detailingthe descendants of Ham's other sons, this
verse begins a listing of the sonsof Canaan. These sons will become the
Canaanites, the peoples who occupied thePromised land before the nation of Israel arrived
to claim it. Under the directorders of God, as found in Exodus

(25:38):
chapter three. The evil of thethese canaan Nite nations would become so severe
that Israel was used as God's instrumentof judgment against them. As we can
find in due Tonomy chapter nine.Cadan's firstborn son was said on the city
of Saidug, which can be foundin Judges chapter one and Acts chapter twenty

(26:03):
seven, is one of the oldestin the region of Cadan. Cadaan's son
Health has a connection to the Hittites, but apparently not a direct connection to
the great nation of the Hittites thatwould arise later to be found in Exodus
chapter thirteen, as well as Judgeschapter one. Now moving on to UH

(26:25):
verse sixteen and the Jebbi site andthe Alma right and the Juggish site all
right now, this verse continues alist of the sons of Cadaan, Noah's
great grandsons through his son Ham.These sons of Cadan will become the Canaan
Knights and UH the people occupying Uh. Well, these sons of Cadan will

(26:49):
become the cana Knits, the people'soccupying the promised land which the people of
Israel will UH come to conquer afterthe UH exodus from Egypt, as we
could found in Exodus chapter three.Unfortunately, while other nations had their flaws,
the Canaan Nite peoples would become especiallywicked. This, more than anything

(27:12):
else, is what motivates God tosend Israel as a form of judgment,
as found in Due to running Mechapter nine, and this flows from the
curse given to Canaan by Noah onthe account of Halm's dishonoring of his father
found in Jenesus chapter nine. Thisverse mean mentions the uh Jebysh sites at

(27:36):
the Amorites and the Jerkershites, theJeby sites settled in what would later become
the city of Jerusalem, found inJudges chapter one and First Chronicles chapter eleven.
All right, now, let's moveon to verse seventeen and the Hivite
and the Archite and the side Nite. Canaan was a son of Hamm,

(27:59):
who is the son of Noah.This passage listed as the sentence of Canaan,
most of who would go on tobecome great enemies of the nation of
Israel. These Canaanites go on tooccupy the promised land which the people of
Israel would conquer after the exodus fromEgypt found in Exodus chapter three. Now,
in chapter nine, Noah's son hamgravely dishonors him, resulting in Noah

(28:25):
place in the kersteling Ham's son Cadanright now, and that's found in Genesus
chapter nine. Over time, theCanaanite people would sink further and further into
evil and depravity. By the timeIsrael was freed from Egypt, as told
in the Books of It is toldin the Book of Exodus, God was

(28:45):
prepared to sin judgment. This camein the form of Israel, who was
allowed to conquer the land of Cadannot because of their own merit, but
in order to punish the sin sinsof Cadan's descendants, as found in Due
to running in chapter nine, andthis verse mentions the Hivites, the Archites,
and the Syenites, groups that apparentlysettled mostly in the north. Right

(29:10):
now moving on to verse eighteen,and the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the
Hammatite, and afterward where the familiesof Canaanites spread abroad. Now this verse
list the final three groups stemming fromCanaan, each of which became a city
state in the north. Arvad isa small island city off the coast of

(29:33):
Syria or also known as ruad AlIsland. The Zemarites lived in the city
of Sumar Sumar, which may havebeen just south of Arvad and haymoth is
Uh in west central Syria today calledHammer now. The people of that city

(29:56):
served as Israel's kings David Uh foundin Second Samuel chapter eight and Solomon found
in Second Chronicles chapter eight, andthe city was later retaken by Gerald Bohm
found in Second Kings chapter fourteen.Now, this is one of many examples
of the fulfillment of Noah's curse fromGenesis chapter nine that the descendants of Cadaan

(30:19):
would become servants to the descendants ofShechem. Right now, this verse ends
with the statement that the clans ofthe Canaan Knights disappeared, or not disappeared,
but dispersed. Now this may referto the dispersal of the region of
Canaan after the events of the tabof Babel described in Genesis chapter eleven.

(30:44):
Right now, let's move on toverse nineteen. And the broader of the
Cadenan Knights was from side on asthou comest to gera unto Garzam, as
thou goest unto Saldom and Gomorral andadm Uh and Zeboil even until Lasher.
Now, this verse uh defines,in loose geographical descriptions, the approximate borders

(31:12):
of the land occupied by the CanaanKnights. The description of this territory will
become important later in Israel's history.God will give the region of the care
Knights to the people of Israel,and it will become the promised land that's
found Uh in Exodus chapter three,and Israel will move into it, conquer

(31:33):
its people's and take possession of theland and its city. Some of the
care night client clans listed in theprevious verses will be wiped out, others
will become servants to God's people Israel. This is partly due to the cursed
Noah levied against Canaan in Genesis chapternine. It is also due to the

(31:56):
extraordinary evil which Canaan's sin has participatedin in duteronom At chapter nine. Right
now, Solomon Gomorrow would become sowell known for their wickedness that their names
would become shorthand for depraved evil.God's judgment on them is described in Genesis
chapter nineteen. Now moving on toverse twenty, these are the sons of

(32:22):
Ham, after their families, aftertheir terms in their countries, and their
nations. This verse wraps up thesection describing the lines of Noah son Ham
as they dispersed and established themselves followingthe events described in chapter eleven. Most
genealogies and Genesis follow a long historyspanding line of Uh fathers and sons.

(32:45):
The list given here in chapter ten, however, are meant to be broad
rather than tracing through time. Thistable of nation shows how the sons of
Noah father all the tribes and peoplewas of the ancient world. Now,
Ham's sins against Norah resulted in acourse found in Uh in Genesus chapter nine.

(33:07):
However, Ham's descenders will become animportant people or important people group in
the region. Now some in particularthe caden Knights, will participate in great
wickedness and let's see, and Godwill cause them to be conquered by His

(33:30):
people. UH Israel has found inDeuteronomy chapter nine, and the following verse
verses will describe how the people ofIsrael will come from the line of Noah's
son Sham. All right, doyou have their complexion for the protection?

(33:52):
It is now time for our worklife reflection, all right. According to
Real Life HF. Dot Church,when looking up the definition of evil,
we read the description morally wrong orbad immral wicked. Some would argue that
there is no true standard of morality. Therefore what some call evil isn't evil

(34:16):
at all. But turn on anynews headline and there's no doubt that evil
things are happening all over the world. And despite our desire for a peace.
Evil seems to be increasing day byday, So where did it evil
come from? How did it story? It's a human tendency to want to
place blame for bad things that happen. So who is the blame for evil?

(34:42):
God, the devil mankind? Firstlet's look at the opinions of both
skeptics and atheists. Then we'll examinewhat the Bible says about the creation of
evil. In the skeptics view ofevil, they struggle to connect and all
knowing God to the blatant wrong doingsin society. According to the world of

(35:02):
philosophy, this dilemma is known asa problem as the problem of evil.
While they admit that evil is harmfuland inexplicable, they tend to categorize it
into various degrees of offenses that occurredwithout explanation or reason. For the atheists,
the problem of evil seems to affirmtheir belief that no God or deity

(35:27):
exist. After all, if ahigher being was in control, he wouldn't
permit evil to continue. This leadsmany atheists to the idea that while evil
is a terrible misfortune, there isno higher being that's going to solve the
problem. Some Atheists have even goneas far as to question the validity of

(35:49):
evil, saying, if there isno good to dictate right or wrong,
what makes evil so evil? MAll right? Now? In First John
chapter one, verse five, theBible says, this is the message we
have heard from him and declare toyou. God is light in him,
there is no darkness at all.While evil does exist, the inherent character

(36:15):
of God suggests he did not createit. In fact, when he finished
creating the world and everything in it, Genesis chapter one, verse thirty one
tells us that God saw all thathe had made and it was very good.
While God did not create evil,he did create angels and humans with

(36:35):
the ability to choose right from wrong. Unfortunately, many of those choices turned
out to be wicked and grievous.However, one Bible passage indicates that God
can use what's meant for evil andturn it into something good. Hum,
yeah, let's talk about it.The Old Testament story tells a man name

(36:58):
tells of a man name Joseph whowas sold by his brothers into slavery,
and years later Joseph said about thewrong that was done to him, as
for you, you meant evil againstme, but God many for good and
to bring it about that many peopleshould be kept alive as they are today.

(37:22):
And this is found in Genesis,chapter fifty, verse twenty. Need
I go on. So while evilis prevalent all over the world today,
there's comfort in knowing there is aloving God who can take what's meant for
evil and use it for our good. All right, but for now,

(37:45):
this is what u uh Ham's Sonsis all about. All right. H
With that being said, we wereclothes out with prayer. Heavenly Father,
Son, Holy Spirit, we thankyou for allowing us to continue to receive
