| Gen. 9:1 | "So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: 'Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.' " |
| Gen. 10:8-10 | "Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; therefore it is said, 'Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord.' And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel..." |

Nimrod was said to have shot an arrow into the sky and said he "did not need God." A mosquito went up his nose and ate out his brain for 8 years, and he died a terrible death. |
| Gen. 11:4-9 | "And they said, 'Come, let us build ourselves a city,
and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest
we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.' But the Lord came
down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the
Lord said, 'Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this
is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld
from them. Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.' So the Lord scattered them abroad
from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.
Therefore its name is called *Babel, (Lit. confusion, Babylon) because
there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord
scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth."  Note: Noah was told to fill the earth, but
his descendants did not. God allowed their free will, to a point, but then He
creatively scattered them so they would fulfill His plan anyway. |
| Acts 17:26 | "And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on
all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the
boundaries of their habitation." See (Adopted Into the Family of Abraham) |
