Genesis 10

6 The sons of Ham were
Cush, Egypt, Put, and Canaan.
7 The sons of Cush were
Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteka;
and the sons of Raamah were
Sheba and Dedan.
8 Cush was the father of Nimrod.
He became a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a mighty hunter before the Lord. Therefore it is said,
"Even like Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord." 
10 The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Uruk, Akkad, and Kalneh
   in the land of Shinar. 
11 From that land he went to Assyria and built Nineveh, 
   the city Rehoboth Ir, and Calah, 
12 and Resen between Nineveh and Calah (that is the principal city).
13 Egypt was the father of
the Ludites, Anamites, Lehabites, Naphtuhites, 
14 Pathrusites, Kasluhites (from whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorites.
15 Canaan was the father of Sidon his firstborn and Heth, 
16 and the Jebusites, Amorites, Girgashites, 
17 Hivites, Arkites, Sinites, 
18 Arvadites, Zemarites, and the Hamathites.
Later the families of the Canaanites spread abroad. 
19 The border of the Canaanites was from Sidon toward Gerar to Gaza,
   and then to Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboyim, as far as Lasha.
20 These are the sons of Ham, according to their families, 
according to their languages, in their lands and in their nations.

[6] And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.
[7] And the sons of Cush; Seba, and Havilah, and Sabtah, and Raamah, and
Sabtecha: and the sons of Raamah; Sheba, and Dedan.
[8] And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.
[9] He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as
Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD.
[10] And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and
Calneh, in the land of Shinar.
[11] Out of that land went forth Asshur, and builded Nineveh, and the city
Rehoboth, and Calah,
[12] And Resen between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city.
[13] And Mizraim begat Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim,
[14] And Pathrusim, and Casluhim, (out of whom came Philistim,) and
Caphtorim.
[15] And Canaan begat Sidon his firstborn, and Heth,
[16] And the Jebusite, and the Amorite, and the Girgasite,
[17] And the Hivite, and the Arkite, and the Sinite,
[18] And the Arvadite, and the Zemarite, and the Hamathite: and afterward
were the families of the Canaanites spread abroad.
[19] And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon, as thou comest to
Gerar, unto Gaza; as thou goest, unto Sodom, and Gomorrah, and Admah, and
Zeboim, even unto Lasha.
[20] These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues,
in their countries, and in their nations.

21 To Shem, who was the father of all the children of Eber,
   whose older brother was Japheth, were sons born also.
22 The sons of Shem were
   Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.
23  The sons of Aram were
   Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek.
24  Arphaxad was the father of Shelah,
   and Shelah was the father of Eber.
25 To Eber were born two sons.

26 Joktan was the father of
Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 
27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 
28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 
29 Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
30 Their dwelling place was from Mesha all the way to Sephar, 
   the hill country of the east.

[21] Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber, the brother of
Japheth the elder, even to him were children born.
[22] The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and
Aram.
[23] And the children of Aram; Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Mash.
[24] And Arphaxad begat Salah; and Salah begat Eber.
[25] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg; for in his
days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.
[26] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazar-maveth, and Jerah,
[27] And Hadoram, and Uzal, and Diklah,
[28] And Obal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
[29] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab: all these were the sons of Joktan.
[30] And their dwelling was from Mesha, as thou goest unto Sephar a mount of
the east.

 17 The sons of Shem were
  Elam, Ashur, Arphaxad, Lud, Aram,
   Uz, Hul, Gether, and Meshek.
18 Arphaxad became the father of Shelah,
  and Shelah became the father of Eber.
19 Two sons were born to Eber:
The name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided, 
  and the name of his brother was Joktan.
20 Joktan became the father of
   Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, and Jerah, 
21 Hadoram, Uzal, and Diklah,

and Uz, and Hul, and Gether, and Meshech.
[18] And Arphaxad begat Shelah, and Shelah begat Eber.
[19] And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg;
because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother's name was
Joktan.
[20] And Joktan begat Almodad, and Sheleph, and Hazarmaveth, and Jerah,
[21] Hadoram also, and Uzal, and Diklah,
[22] And Ebal, and Abimael, and Sheba,
[23] And Ophir, and Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan. 

Genesis 10

31 These are the sons of Shem, by their families and their language, 
   in their lands and their nations.
32 These are the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations,
   in their nations. From these were the nations divided in the earth
   after the flood.

[31] These are the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues,
in their lands, after their nations.
[32] These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in
their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the
flood. 

Genesis 11
The Tower of Babel
1 Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
2 As the people journeyed from the east, 
they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each other, 
 "Let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly." 
  And they had brick for stone and tar for mortar. 
4 Then they said, "Come, let us build us a city and a tower,
    whose top will reach to heaven, 
    and let us make a name for ourselves;
    otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."
5 But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower that
 the sons of men built. 
6 The Lord said, "The people are one and they have one language,
 and this is only the beginning of what they will do; 
 now nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them. 
7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, 
 so that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth,
and they stopped building the city. 
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel, 
  because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. 
  From there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

[1] And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
[2] And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a
plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
[3] And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them
throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
[4] And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may
reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad
upon the face of the whole earth.
[5] And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children
of men builded.
[6] And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one
language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from
them, which they have imagined to do.
[7] Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may
not understand one another's speech.
[8] So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the
earth: and they left off to build the city.
[9] Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there
confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter
them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

25 Eber, Peleg, Reu,
26 Serug, Nahor, Terah,
27 and Abram, who is Abraham.

[24] Shem, Arphaxad, Shelah,
[25] Eber, Peleg, Reu,
[26] Serug, Nahor, Terah,
[27] Abram; the same is Abraham. 

Genesis 11

Terah's Descendants

27 These are the generations of Terah.
Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran, 
and Haran became the father of Lot. 
28 Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his birth, 
in Ur of the Chaldeans. 
29 Abram and Nahor took wives. 
The name of Abram's wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor's wife,
Milkah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milkah and the father of Iskah. 
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, son of Haran, 
   and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram's wife, 
   and they went out together from Ur of the Chaldeans 
   to go into the land of Canaan; but when they came to Harran, 
   they settled there.
32 The days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Harran.

[27] Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and
Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
[28] And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in
Ur of the Chaldees.
[29] And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was
Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the
father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
[30] But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
[31] And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son,
and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth
with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they
came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
[32] And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died
in Haran.

A New Beginning with God </a>

Romans 5:6-11
6 (Ro 4:25; 5:8_ While we were yet weak, in due time Christ died
for the ungodly.
7 Rarely for a righteous man will one die. Yet perhaps for a good man
some would even dare to die.
8 (Jn 15:13; 1Pe 3:18) But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
9 (Ro 1:18; 1Th 1:10) How much more then, being now justified by His blood,
shall we be saved from wrath through Him.
10 (2Co 5:18-19; Col 1:20-21) For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled
to God by the death of His Son, how much more, being reconciled, shall we be
saved by His life.
11 (Ro 5:10; 2Co 5:18-19) Furthermore, we also rejoice in God through
our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

Romans 5

[6] For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the
ungodly.
[7] For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a
good man some would even dare to die.
[8] But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us.
[9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from
wrath through him.
[10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of
his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.
[11] And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
by whom we have now received the atonement. 

"Did your sin also put Jesus on the cross?" That's the question Dutch painter 
Rembrandt seems to be asking in his 1633 masterpiece, The Raising 
of the Cross. Jesus appears in the center of the picture as His cross is 
lifted and put in place. Four men are doing the lifting, but one stands out in
the light surrounding Jesus. His clothing is different; he's dressed in the 
style of Rembrandt's day, wearing a cap the painter often wore. A closer look 
at his face reveals that Rembrandt has put himself into the painting, as if to
say, "My sins had a part in Jesus' death."

But there's another who also stands out. He's on horseback, looking directly 
out of the painting. Some see this as a second self-portrait by Rembrandt, 
engaging all who observe with a knowing glance that seems to ask, 
"Aren't you here too?"

Paul saw himself there, and we may also, because Jesus suffered and died for 
us as well. In Romans 5:10, he refers to himself and us as "God's enemies." 
But even though our sins caused Jesus' death, His death reconciles us to God:
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet
sinners, Christ died for us." (v. 8).

We stand with both Rembrandt and Paul: sinners in need of forgiveness. Through
His cross, Jesus offers us what we could never do for ourselves and meets our 
deepest need: a new beginning with God.

Reflect & Pray

How were you once God's enemy? In what ways can you live as His friend today?

Dear Jesus, thank You for giving Yourself for me. 
Please help me to live in Your love today.

Week 6 Showing Grace to Others - Day 4 "Formula" for Forgiveness

Luke 17:3 - 4

3 (Lev 19:17; Mt 18:21)"Take heed to yourselves."
"If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. And if he repents,
forgive him.
4 (Mt 18:21-22) If he sins against you seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turns to you, saying,
'I repent,' you must forgive him."

3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him;
and if he repent, forgive him.
4 And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day,
and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent;
thou shalt forgive him.

The context of these verses give us an interesting perspective of Jesus'
disciples. In a corollary passage in Matthew 18, the disciples (through
Peter, the designated mouthpiece) ask Jesus,
21 (Mt 18:15; Lk 17:3-4) Then Peter came to Him and said,
"Lord, how often shall I forgive my brother who sins against me?
Up to seven times?" (Matthew 18:21)
The disciples wanted a "formula" for forgiveness: they wanted to be able to
develop a checklist. Once, twice, maybe three times a brother could be
forgiven, but after that, you could write him off. After all, if
he keeps on offending over and over again, he doesn't deserve to be forgiven!
But Jesus says, " Rebuke him - let him know his fault; if he repents,
forgive him - even seven times in the same day!"
And the disciplines' response is predictable: "Lord, increase our faith!" They
were more comfortable with their own formula for forgiveness than with the
outrageous demands of the love that Christ imposed upon them.
We are so like the disciples. We want to draw a line and say. "This far
- no more. I'll forgive you once, but don't do it again. Now that you're
forgiven, you'd better shape up!". Yet God's love doesn't recognise "again".
He forgives, and no matter how often we come to him in repentance
for repeated offenses, his arms of forgiveness are open to us.
That is the way God wants us to forgive. He wants us to lay aside our
checklists, put away our suspicions, abandon our scoreboards, and forgive.
Seven times, or seventy times seven, as often as we have sinned against God
and been forgiven, we are to forgive.

Application

a) Have I ever kept a "scorecard" of performance on someone I
have forgiven ? Why?

b) Why do I need "increased faith" to be able to forgive as
Jesus calls me to? 

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

2 Chr 31:21

21 And in every deed that he undertook in the service of the house
of God and with the law and commandment to seek out his God,
he did this with all his heart, and he found success.

21 And in every work that he began in the service of the house
of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God,
he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Protection in Times of Trouble

Ps 27:1-6

PSALMS 27

A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom will I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom will I be afraid?
2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) When the wicked came against me
to eat my flesh -
my enemies and my foes -
they stumbled and fell.
3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Though an army should encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident.
4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) One thing I have asked from the Lord,
that will I seek after -
for me to dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to see the beauty of the Lord,
and to inquire in His temple.
5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) For in the time of trouble
He will hide me in His pavilion;
in the shelter of His tabernacle He will hide me;
He will set me up on a rock.
6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8 - 9) Now my head will be lifted up
above my enemies encircling me;
therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord.

1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes,
came upon me to eat up my flesh,
They stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear:
Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after;
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion:
In the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me;
he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up,
Above mine enemies round about me:
Therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy;
I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the LORD.

12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)

2015 Population - 4631302 Muslims about 136493

British Columbia - British Columbia's Muslim Population is growing constantly.
Every week there are immigrants ad refugees coming to the Greater Vancouver 
and surrounding areas.  There are also significant Muslim student populations
in our colleges and universities. Some have even suggested that there are
between 4000  and 5000 Saudi Arabian students alone, without counting all
other nationalities.

Greater Vancouver has an estimated 180000 Muslims, and there are significant 
and growing communities in the Fraser Valley such as in Langley, Abbotsford,
Chilliwack, etc. Including these communities the total population for this
region is about 200000.
Of these, there are an estimated 100000 Iranians, 35000 Arabs, 15000 Ismailis,
more than 20000 Afghanis, 10000 South Asian Muslims, 3000 Turks, and small
numbers from other countries such as Sudan, Somalia, Albania, etc. 
We are seeing some Muslims coming to Christ and we rejoice in that.
A few people also have some ongoing ministry to Muslims in the area,
for which we also rejoice.  Let us agree in that

- the church will catch a vision to pray,
and a burden to train outreach to Muslims
- the church will press in to participate in effective 
discipleship of these new Muslim background believers.

Adding further

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020 

Under the Keep Praying page

When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid  celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that 
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.

For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.

You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"

Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you 
know, and Muslims around the world:

- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 :  17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; 
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, 
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants 
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy. 
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below: 
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke.  20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]

Footnotes
	Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15  : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under 
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the 
house."

Ideas for prayer

- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people - 
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims 
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days! 

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
