WRATH OF GOD: THE SIN OF MURMURING part 2

05/12/2025

⭐ WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THE TOWER OF BABEL?

(Genesis 11:1–9)

🔰 INTRODUCTION

The Tower of Babel is more than a historical event—it is a vivid demonstration of what happens when mankind rejects God’s revelation and establishes his own system of righteousness, unity, and religion. In Dispensational truth, Babel marks the end of the Dispensation of Human Government and reveals the root problems of man: pride, rebellion, and independence from God.

As we study Babel, we discover lessons for today’s world—where humanity still builds systems, religions, and movements without God, and where confusion reigns when the Word of God is rejected.

1️⃣ THE PERVERSION OF HUMAN UNITY

(Man united in rebellion)

A. Unified in Defiance — Gen. 11:1–2

One language, one speech, but one sinful intention.

B. United in Disobedience — Gen. 11:4

They gathered centrally when God commanded them to scatter.

C. Universal in Depravity — Rom. 3:10–12

Human unity without God always produces collective corruption.

2️⃣ THE PRIDE OF HUMAN AMBITION

(Man attempting self-exaltation)

A. Arrogant Aspirations — Gen. 11:4

“Let us build… let us make us a name.”

B. Attempted Ascension — Isa. 14:13–14

Satan sought the same: self-elevation to heaven.

C. Abandoned Authority — Prov. 16:18

Pride brings destruction—individually and nationally.

3️⃣ THE PRESUMPTION OF HUMAN RELIGION

(Man creating his own way to reach God)

A. Human Invention — Gen. 11:3

They made bricks—a manmade substitute for God’s materials.

B. Human Interpretation — Rom. 10:3

They established their own righteousness.

C. Human Imitation — Col. 2:8

Religion imitates God but originates from man’s wisdom.

4️⃣ THE PREVENTION OF DIVINE INTERVENTION

(God halts mankind’s self-destruction)

A. God Comes Down — Gen. 11:5

Man tries to go up; God must come down.

B. God Confronts Sin — Ps. 94:10

God examines and corrects human rebellion.

C. God Controls History — Acts 17:26

God sets nations and boundaries.

5️⃣ THE PUNISHMENT OF CONFUSION

(God confuses what man glorifies)

A. Confounded Speech — Gen. 11:7

The very unity they trusted became confusion.

B. Chaotic Scattering — Gen. 11:8

Their rebellion dispersed them.

C. Consequences Continued — 1 Cor. 14:33

God is not the author of confusion—man is.

6️⃣ THE PATTERN OF HUMAN FAILURE

(Every dispensation ends with man failing)

A. Failure Under Government — Gen. 9–11

Instead of righteous rule, man created corrupt religion.

B. Failure of Human Effort — Rom. 3:23

Man’s best efforts fall short.

C. Failure Without Revelation — Eph. 4:18

Darkened hearts produce darkened systems.

7️⃣ THE PROVISION OF GOD’S PURPOSE

(God moves forward with His prophetic program)

A. A New Nation Chosen — Gen. 12:1–3

God calls Abraham immediately after Babel.

B. A New Covenant Promised — Gen. 15:6

Righteousness by faith—not works.

C. A New Plan Unfolding — Rom. 4:16

God begins the prophetic program through Israel.

8️⃣ THE PREPARATION FOR DISPENSATIONAL DISTINCTIONS

(Babel sets the stage for prophecy and later mystery)

A. Division of Nations — Deut. 32:8

Nations multiply—Israel eventually separated.

B. Development of Prophecy — Gen. 12:3

God’s plan for the earth originates with Abraham.

C. Delay of the Mystery — Eph. 3:1–5

The Body of Christ was not revealed in Babel’s time.

9️⃣ THE PARALLEL TO THE PRESENT AGE

(Modern humanity mirrors Babel)

A. Global Rebellion — Ps. 2:1–3

The world unites against God again.

B. Global Religion — Rev. 17:1–5

Mystery Babylon mirrors ancient Babel.

C. Global Redemption Offered — 1 Cor. 15:1–4

The gospel of grace is God’s answer today.

🏁 CONCLUSION

The Tower of Babel teaches that man’s unity without God produces rebellion, religion, and ruin. Every human attempt to replace God results in confusion. Yet God’s response is always grace—moving forward His purpose, culminating in the revelation of the Mystery to Paul and the formation of the Body of Christ.

💠 WHAT IS THE CONTEXT OF “REPENTANCE TOWARD GOD, AND FAITH TOWARD OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST”?

(Acts 20:21)

⭐ INTRODUCTION

Many people misunderstand repentance in the Bible. They confuse Israel’s national repentance under the Law with the repentance toward God that Paul preached in the Dispensation of Grace. Paul connects repentance directly with faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, revealing that repentance today is not turning from sin, changing behavior, or promising reform, but a change of mind toward God and His provision in Christ.

To understand Acts 20:21 correctly, we must examine its dispensational context, Israel’s rejection, Paul’s gospel, and how repentance and faith operate together today.

1️⃣ THE CLARIFICATION OF REPENTANCE — A CHANGE OF MIND, NOT A CHANGE OF MANNERS

Repentance toward God is intellectual and spiritual, not ceremonial or behavioral.

A. Defined Repentance

📖 Acts 20:21
“Repentance toward God”—a turning in belief, not behavior.

B. Dispensational Distinction

📖 Hebrews 6:1
Repentance from dead works (Israel) differs from repentance toward God (Grace).

C. Doctrinal Direction

📖 Romans 2:4
God’s goodness leads to repentance—not fear, law, or punishment.

2️⃣ THE CONDITION OF MAN — ALL ARE GUILTY BEFORE GOD

Repentance begins when man sees himself as God sees him.

A. Universal Condemnation

📖 Romans 3:23
All have sinned.

B. Unavoidable Corruption

📖 Romans 5:12
Sin entered all men.

C. Unacceptable Righteousness

📖 Isaiah 64:6
Our righteousness is filthy rags.

3️⃣ THE CONDEMNATION OF THE LAW — THE SCHOOLMASTER THAT BRINGS REPENTANCE

Repentance toward God acknowledges the Law’s verdict.

A. The Revealing Nature of the Law

📖 Romans 3:19
The Law stops every mouth.

B. The Righteous Demand of the Law

📖 Galatians 3:10
Cursed is everyone who does not continue in ALL things.

C. The Realization of Helplessness

📖 Romans 7:9
The commandment killed me—man sees he cannot save himself.

4️⃣ THE CENTRALITY OF THE CROSS — WHAT REPENTANCE TOWARD GOD POINTS TO

Repentance toward God pushes man to the only answer: Christ crucified.

A. Christ’s Substitution

📖 1 Corinthians 15:3
He died for our sins.

B. Christ’s Sacrifice

📖 Romans 5:8
God commendeth His love.

C. Christ’s Satisfaction

📖 Romans 3:25
His blood is the propitiation for sins.

5️⃣ THE CONNECTION TO FAITH — REPENTANCE AND BELIEVING ARE TWO SIDES OF ONE RESPONSE

When the mind turns toward God’s truth, faith embraces it.

A. The Hearing of Faith

📖 Romans 10:17
Faith comes by hearing.

B. The Heart of Faith

📖 Romans 10:10
With the heart man believeth.

C. The Hope of Faith

📖 Acts 16:31
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.

6️⃣ THE CONTRAST WITH ISRAEL — WHY THEIR REPENTANCE IS NOT OUR MODEL

Israel’s repentance was national, legal, and kingdom-focused.

A. National Repentance

📖 2 Chronicles 7:14
Israel repented as a nation.

B. Kingdom Repentance

📖 Matthew 3:2
“Repent, for the kingdom is at hand.”

C. Legal Repentance

📖 Luke 24:47
Repentance and remission of sins preached beginning at Jerusalem.

Paul’s repentance message is not Israel’s.

7️⃣ THE CONTENT OF PAUL’S MESSAGE — REPENTANCE AND FAITH PREACHED TO JEWS & GENTILES

Paul preached the same message to all: turn from unbelief to faith in Christ.

A. Repentance from Unbelief

📖 Acts 17:30
God commands all men everywhere to repent—change their thinking about Him.

B. Reception of the Gospel

📖 1 Corinthians 15:1–4
Faith rests in Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection.

C. Release from Religion

📖 Galatians 1:6–12
Paul’s gospel is not works, rituals, or Law.

8️⃣ THE COMPLETION IN CHRIST — WHAT FAITH IN CHRIST ACCOMPLISHES TODAY

Once faith is placed in Christ, salvation is complete and final.

A. Justification Secured

📖 Romans 5:1
We have peace with God.

B. Redemption Purchased

📖 Ephesians 1:7
Forgiveness through His blood.

C. Regeneration Performed

📖 Titus 3:5
Saved by mercy, not works.

9️⃣ THE COMMISSION OF THE CHURCH — WE PREACH REPENTANCE & FAITH RIGHTLY DIVIDED

Our message: Turn to God and believe the gospel of grace.

A. The Ministry of Warning

📖 Acts 20:31
Paul warned night and day with tears.

B. The Ministry of Witnessing

📖 Acts 20:24
Testify the gospel of the grace of God.

C. The Ministry of the Word

📖 2 Timothy 2:15
Rightly dividing the Word of truth.

🏁 CONCLUSION

Repentance toward God is the change of mind that acknowledges sin, guilt, and helplessness.
Faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ is the response that trusts His finished work.

Together, they form the clear and simple gospel invitation for this Dispensation of Grace.
It is not “repent of your sins,”
not ritual,
not religion—
but a turning from unbelief to faith in Christ alone.

📣 CALL TO ACTION

🔥 Preach the RIGHT repentance — a change of mind, not a change of lifestyle.
✝️ Proclaim the gospel of grace — Christ’s finished work alone saves.
📖 Practice right division — keep Israel’s repentance separate from Paul’s message.

🔚 FINAL THOUGHTS

1️⃣ Repentance is a change of mind, not conduct.
2️⃣ Faith is trust in Christ’s finished work.
3️⃣ Law exposes guilt; grace provides salvation.
4️⃣ Israel’s repentance is not the Body of Christ’s pattern.
5️⃣ Paul’s message unites repentance & faith in one response.
6️⃣ Salvation today is complete through faith alone.
7️⃣ The church must preach repentance and faith rightly divided.
8️⃣ Confusion comes from mixing Law and Grace.
9️⃣ Clarity comes from Paul’s gospel of grace.

DEATH WITHOUT CHRIST IS NOT PEACE — IT IS A SENTENCE

⭐ INTRODUCTION

In every dispensation—from innocence to grace—death has always been the unavoidable consequence of sin (Rom. 5:12). But in this present Dispensation of Grace, God reveals the only escape from eternal judgment: the gospel of Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection (1 Cor. 15:1–4).
Death without Christ is not rest. It is not peace. It is not R.I.P. — it is a divine sentence.
Judgment awaits every soul who dies rejecting the finished work of Christ (Heb. 9:27).

This preaching exposes why death without Christ is condemnation, not comfort.

1️⃣ THE REALITY OF SIN — The Cause of Condemnation

Man is not condemned by circumstance but by sin.

A. The Sinfulness of All

📖 Romans 3:23
All have sinned—making judgment universal.

B. The Separation of Sin

📖 Isaiah 59:2
Sin separates man from God, removing any hope of peace.

C. The Sentence of Sin

📖 Romans 6:23
Sin pays wages—and the paycheck is death.

2️⃣ THE RUIN OF MAN — The Corruption of the Flesh

Human goodness cannot erase guilt.

A. The Depraved Condition

📖 Romans 3:10
“No righteous”—not even one.

B. The Deadly Consequences

📖 Ephesians 2:1
Man is dead in trespasses and sins, spiritually lifeless.

C. The Doomed Conclusion

📖 Hebrews 9:27
After death comes judgment—not peace.

3️⃣ THE REJECTION OF CHRIST — The Choice of Condemnation

Rejecting Christ ensures eternal judgment.

A. The Light Refused

📖 John 3:19
Men love darkness rather than light.

B. The Life Rejected

📖 John 5:40
They will not come to Christ for life.

C. The Loss Received

📖 John 3:18
Unbelievers are “condemned already.”

4️⃣ THE REQUIREMENT OF FAITH — The Condition for Salvation

Salvation comes not by works, prayer, or religion.

A. The Exclusiveness of Faith

📖 Romans 4:5
God justifies the ungodly by faith alone.

B. The Effectiveness of Faith

📖 Ephesians 2:8–9
Grace saves—works cannot contribute.

C. The Exchange of Faith

📖 2 Cor. 5:21
Christ took our sin; we receive His righteousness.

5️⃣ THE RICHES OF THE CROSS — The Cure for Condemnation

The cross is God’s answer to death.

A. The Payment Made

📖 1 Corinthians 15:3
Christ died for our sins.

B. The Proof Manifested

📖 Romans 4:25
His resurrection is the receipt of our justification.

C. The Peace Provided

📖 Romans 5:1
We have peace with God through Christ.

6️⃣ THE REVELATION OF HELL — The Consequence of Unbelief

Hell is not symbolic—it is severe.

A. The Torment Described

📖 Luke 16:23–24
The rich man was conscious, in flames, and without relief.

B. The Time Unending

📖 Mark 9:44
“The fire is not quenched.”

C. The Triumph Denied

📖 2 Thess. 1:8–9
Eternal separation from God’s presence.

7️⃣ THE REST FOUND IN CHRIST — The Comfort of Salvation

Peace is not in the grave; peace is in Christ.

A. The Rest of Redemption

📖 Matthew 11:28
Christ gives rest to the weary soul.

B. The Relief of Reconciliation

📖 Colossians 1:20
We are reconciled by the blood of His cross.

C. The Refuge of Resurrection

📖 1 Thess. 4:16–17
The believer’s hope is resurrection, not ruin.

8️⃣ THE RESPONSIBILITY OF BELIEVERS — The Commission of Grace

Since death is judgment without Christ, believers must warn others.

A. The Message Declared

📖 Acts 20:24
We testify the gospel of the grace of God.

B. The Mandate Delivered

📖 2 Cor. 5:20
We are ambassadors—pleading with men to be reconciled.

C. The Ministry Demonstrated

📖 1 Tim. 2:4
God wants all men saved—so must we.

9️⃣ THE REJECTION OF RELIGION — The Counterfeit of Peace

Religion offers rituals, not redemption.

Works cannot save—only grace.

📌 JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY, AND FOREVER

(Hebrews 13:8)

⭐ INTRODUCTION

Many quote Hebrews 13:8 to claim that God never changes in His dealings with man, but the verse does not say God deals with people the same in every dispensation.
It declares that Jesus Himself—His character, deity, holiness, and faithfulness—never changes, even though His instructions, operations, and programs do change throughout Scripture.

Throughout Scripture, God unfolds His plan through distinct dispensations—from innocence, conscience, promise, law, and kingdom program, to the present Dispensation of Grace.

📌 THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

INTRODUCTION 🔥📖

When studying Scripture through a dispensational lens, we discover that the ministry of the Holy Spirit operated differently in the Old Testament compared to the Dispensation of Grace.

In the OT, the Spirit visited, empowered, and departed—but did not permanently indwell. Today, under Grace, the Spirit seals, indwells, and stays forever (Eph. 1:13).

Understanding the Holy Spirit’s Old Testament operations helps us appreciate God’s progressive revelation and the uniqueness of our blessings in Christ.

1️⃣ THE PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT — THE SPIRIT APPEARING 🔥👀

(Gen. 1:2; Job 33:4; Ps. 104:30)

The Spirit is the breath of life.

All creation is Spirit-sustained.

The Spirit maintains life on earth.

His presence is essential to creation’s existence.

(Judg. 6:34; 1 Sam. 16:13; Mic. 3:8)

The Spirit came upon Gideon (Judg. 6:34).

Empowerment for national salvation.

God uses weak vessels when empowered.

B. Strength for Dominion

David received the Spirit for leadership (1 Sam. 16:13).

Kingship required divine empowerment.

Authority was Spirit-given, not self-gained.

C. Strength for Declaration

Micah was full of the Spirit to preach (Mic. 3:8).

Prophetic boldness is Spirit-produced.

Truth requires Spirit-empowered proclamation.

3️⃣ THE PARTICULARITY OF THE SPIRIT — THE SPIRIT SELECTING 🎯📜

(Num. 11:16–17; Ex. 31:2–3; Dan. 4:8–9)

A. Select Anointing for Leaders

4️⃣ THE PASSING OF THE SPIRIT — THE SPIRIT DEPARTING 🚪❌🔥

(1 Sam. 16:14; Ps. 51:11; Judg. 16:20)

A. Departure from the Disobedient

The Spirit left Saul (1 Sam. 16:14).

Disobedience forfeited divine empowerment.

B. Danger of Divine Departure

CONCLUSION 📘🔥

In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit came upon, empowered, and departed, working selectively, temporarily, and externally.
But in the Dispensation of Grace, the Spirit indwells, seals, and never departs (Eph. 1:13; Eph. 4:30).

Understanding this distinction magnifies God’s unfolding plan and shows the richness of what we have in Christ today.
