🔥 The ultimate reversal! From Babel’s scatter to Pentecost’s embrace. 🔥

At the Tower of Babel, humanity was divided and languages confused after Nimrod’s rebellion (Genesis 10-11). God then set apart a new chosen family–Abraham’s–and left the other nations to their own gods.

Fast forward to Pentecost: God’s redemptive plan unfolds as He calls every nation back to Himself through Jesus–and they hear the same Good News but in their own language! Acts 2:9-11 lists the nations, the same ones scattered in Genesis 11.

📆 Pentecost falls on Sunday, June 8 this year.

Wow! What an incredible opportunity to attend the Museum of the Bible’s online webinar, “The Life of Jesus in History and Archaeology: A Conference with the Biblical Archaeology Society.”

It’s truly amazing how technology allows regular people like us to have direct access to so many leading scholars, even if I could only catch one presentation! Over four hours of presentations diving deep into the latest research on what the New Testament, ancient texts, and archaeology reveal about the first-century world of Jesus and his earliest followers.

So grateful for this chance to learn directly from the experts!
