Genesis 10 lays out the nations of the world, and most of us skip right past it. What we mistake for simple geopolitical divisions is actually part of a divine structure in God's plan for the earth.In this episode, we trace the nations from Babel to Mars Hill, from humanity's fracture in Genesis 11, to Deuteronomy 32, to Paul's declaration in Acts 17, and explore how redemption unfolds through the nations, not around them.
What does the Bible actually mean by sacred space? Most people think of churches, temples, or "holy ground," but Scripture tells a much bigger story. From Eden to Sinai, from tabernacle to temple, the Bible presents sacred space as the place where God's presence orders reality. In this episode, we explore sacred space through ancient Near Eastern culture, biblical theology, and the life of Christ, and we end where the Bible ends, not with a building, but with a Person.
