Developing A Biblical World View

2. The world was divided into various language groups at the tower of Babel.

3. People began to come together with those to whom they could talk. They organized in groups or tribes of people speaking the same language. This resulted in various people groups.

4. As the people groups grew, they moved to different areas of the world. Over a period of time, these groups grew into great masses of people who organized into nations. They set geographic boundaries for their territories and political and legal systems to govern their residents.

CHAPTER THREE:

1. Then opened He their understanding that they might understand the Scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day; And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. (Luke 24:45-47)

2. The "master key" of the Bible is Luke 24:45-47.

2. The central message is that of God's concern and plan for the salvation of sinful man.
