The SURPRISING Truth About the Tower of Babel!

All Christians need to know THIS about the tower of Babel. In this presentation, Bodie Hodge debunks common Babel myths and shows us how the tower of Babel reveals the origin of ethnicities.

This is an edited version of a longer video on the tower of Babel:

Answers in Genesis is an apologetics (Christianity-defending) ministry dedicated to enabling Christians to defend their faith and proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ effectively.

On our YouTube channel, you’ll find answers to your most pressing questions about key issues like creation, evolution, science, the age of the earth, and social issues. We desire to train believers to develop a worldview based on the Bible and expose the bankruptcy of evolutionary ideas and their implications.

You’ll hear from top teachers such as Ken Ham, Bryan Osborne, Dr. Georgia Purdom, Dr. Nathaniel Jeanson, Tim Chaffey, Bodie Hodge, Dr. Gabriela Haynes, Dr. Terry Mortenson, and more.

As a Black Christian, it’s some times been difficult to listen to answers in Genesis and especially the Discovery Institute because of a type of politicalized Christianity of “us against ‘them’ trying to take our country.” There are also on both sides of the aisle that seemed to be only concerned with self preservation through politics. Anyway, I appreciate it when hearing you guys lately simply stating racism exists, it shouldn’t, we are one race, end of story. There’s really no discrepancy. What God says is the main topic. We need more no nonsense ministers like this.

I love Stephen Meyers and Michael Behe because they never get side tracked with all the divisive motives like many who are tied up with the institute. I also have taken noticed to Ken Ham who I think often is on this platform who is consistently stating the oblivious: we are one race. Ppl need to get that through their heads.

I identify with Black from my cultural experiences. However, I consider myself 100% Christian. My allegiance is with Heaven before anything else. And my allegiance is with my fellow Christian sister and brother before anyone else.

I love when Jesus said these are my brothers and sisters right here, as to say, not even blood make us family.

It was very gratifying to hear you link "ancestor worship" to the Tower Of Babel. Being a black, Christian American woman, I've been waiting to hear someone of your expertise & scholarship in handling the WORD OF GOD, bring this forward. I believe the Bible itself, reasonably supports the idea that the race narrative is a fundamental pillar of ancestor worship, which is idolatry, (Col 3:5). The seeds of what could readily become ancestor worship, are seen in the Genesis 9, the events in Noah's vineyard. (Gen 9 20-29). It is not a stretch to explore within the context of Scripture alone, this account as a story of a son's resistance, to his father's authority, Ham, and what could later builds over time into that son's settled resentment towards his brothers, Shem & Japheth. That the devil would've taken maximum advantage in a situation of family discord like this seems self-evident to me from Scripture. Genesis 9, ( See Jacob & Esau in the womb, the LORD describing them as two-nations, two manner of people, twin brothers...) Noah's vineyard is about character & conduct...in relationship to three blood brothers, sons of the same mother & father...Eight souls saved, the LORD"S ARK of SAFETY, picturing the ultimate giving of His Son: One God, One Mediator, the Man, Christ Jesus our LORD!!! It is satan that has erected the racism -libel & blasphemy against the Bible, using Noah's disciplining of a rebellious son. The lineage of Ham, listed in the Table of Nations, frankly speaks for itself in terms of human history's vigor for opposing GOD. ( Cush the father of Nimrod..."let us rebel"...Canaan, Mizraim, just to name a few.) It is what it is, until Genesis 9 is brought forth, 4-square in its self-evident call & provision for human renewal in the post flood world, using the three sons of Noah, blood brothers, Shem, Ham & Japheth, there is simply no adequate, truly substantive response to the idea of "races", which is a diabolical scourg, distorting reality & mankind in his God given nature: "MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD...MALE & FEMALE CREATED HE THEM." Satan's chief aim against the LORD, the worship of mankind, using the family as the platform for his altar.

And now we know where we get the phrase, "what are you babbling about."

I'm Jewish....but I LOVE this channel! I learn so much. Thank you for defending scripture and showing how historical it is!

I heard a late night radio program several years ago about the history of the central American tribe called the Olmecs. They supposedly have an oral tradition of having come from Africa, but prior to that they arrived in Africa from "the land where the languages were confused".

Thank you for your work. Walk with Christ.

Yes!
"Us". Even in Genesis Jesus was there. Always said this is already where God shows the trinity and Jesus.

[tkreiester]

Thank you for preaching the truth on this! We are one people, one blood, and one race.

The Holy Bible is God's His-story book. I've learned about world history by reading the Holy Bible. Thank you, LORD Jesus, for your word.

That reference story of the American Indians could be them passing down the history of Babel rather than their actual time. When I visited LiFou island in the South Pacific, unlike neighboring island of Noumea, said Christianity was easy for them as a people to convert because their folklore/ancestry history handed down orally had the creation story of Adam and Eve etc, so it all made sense, whereas those people/tribe who settled in Noumea didn't accept Christianity as they had chosen way back to worship the darker side of things (witchcraft, cannibalism etc basically rebellious to God from early times).

[armandraygor]

Thank you for this. I always look forward to Bodie's talks on Babel. The book is very informative and should be required reading in all Christian schools. (In ALL schools!)

I love the gospel message at the end. I’ve been a Christian since I was 10 and I still never tire of hearing the message preached. It is still as thrilling to hear it as it was when I was a child all those years ago.
