Hi all,
This maybe of little to no interest, but I thought Id share if I didnt know better I t'd think theres a lesson in here somewhere.
This morning on the way to work I heard a minister say that a negative attitude was cased by rebelious spirt. I almost need to pull the car off the road to ponder that one as I often thought that my cinacism & negativity was caused by a negative spirit.
As you might guess I have always been a rebel with out a clue/cause.
Yankee by birth Rebel by choice, seriously though.
In fact I dont know if that rebelilon has ever gone away, or just changed faces from rebelling from God to now rebeling from worldiness. Like I said I almost need some time to digest that.
Tonight in my study on Genesis, were doing it in Church Sunday mornings, as well as I have a personal Bible study on it for a course I am taking.
I came accross Nimrod and the meaning of his name, are you ready for this?
Let us rebel.
Now considering his role in leading the rebellion to disobey God and championing the whole tower of Babel project and the intent behind it not to just disobey and not spread out as they were instructed by God but building a temple at the top trying to reach up to God, and then for the worship of a differnt God....
<DIR><DIR>Gen 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.
</DIR>Gen 11:1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
Gen 11:2 And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
Gen 11:3 And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
Gen 11:4 Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth."
Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.
Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
Gen 11:7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech."
Gen 11:8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.
Gen 11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth.
</DIR> Well I just had to share it was one of those oh wow moments with this whole rebelion theme and all of it in the same day!
Is it worth discusing how rebelion causes a negative spirit?
Does it ever truely go away or just deminish somewhat, or just change faces?
