Poem
Noah survived the flood with sons Japheth, Ham, and Shem. Along with the animals of the earth, God spared them. With floods, He vowed never again to do such a thing. God made a covenant with Noah and his offspring: “You and your sons shall populate the world as you go. Look up into the clouds and you shall see My rainbow. This is a sign the covenant is everlasting. All creatures shall thrive, along with each human being.” Noah’s grandson, firstborn of Ham, Canaan was his name. He had to serve Shem and Japheth because he brought shame. Ham also gave birth to Cush; who in turn brought Raamah. Raamah extended the line with Dedan and Sheba. Shem was fruitful producing many generations. Arphaxad and Aram’s progeny would lead nations. Among Japheth’s seven sons were Gomer and Javan Their descendents also had produced many children. Among Ham’s descendents was a king who defied God. A mighty hunter and warrior, he was Nimrod. His kingdom had contained land from Babylonia. Moreover, it stretched as far south as Assyria. His great cities included Calah and Nineveh. They lived on land between the Euphrates and Tigris. His people united and strong were making progress. Nimrod proclaimed, “We have one language and great power. Let us assemble and raise a very tall tower. This ziggurat will provide a stairway to a star. We are an ambitious people, and we can go far!” A new great city appeared on the plain of Shinar. With formidable walls constructed with bricks and tar. God realized these persons were filling with contempt, He wished to halt their foolhardy fallacious attempt. Perplexing their language among them caused confusion. They stopped construction and divided with diffusion. God’s almighty power can never be defeated. Therefore, the Tower Of Babel was not completed. A ziggurat is a temple of Babylonian architecture resembling a pyramid. It begins with either a square or a rectangular base. Additional stories with smaller floor space create a terrace effect on each level. Genesis Chapters 8-11 .
