In fact, from biblical history, some of Canaan’s progeny turned out to be downright evil (e.g., Leviticus 18 lists some of their egregious sins).Īnd part of this curse was Noah’s request that Japheth receive more territory (Genesis 9:27)-perhaps a double portion as elsewhere in Scripture the oldest was sometimes allotted a double portion of inheritance (e.g., Deuteronomy 21:17). Thus, Noah instead cursed Ham’s youngest son Canaan (Genesis 9:25), whom many commentators suggest was like Ham but worse. For God had previously blessed Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Genesis 9:1), so far be it for Noah to curse whom God had blessed. But notice that Noah did not curse Ham (and rightfully so). So, when Noah awoke and found out what Ham had done, he called down a curse. Obviously, Ham’s actions toward his father in Genesis 9 were grossly inappropriate. Also, keep in mind that Canaan was the youngest out of four sons from Ham, all of whom were born after the flood. After Noah had found a site to plant his vineyard, it likely took 5–8 years for the vineyard to grow to maturity for a decent harvest, particularly for wine. So, naturally, the earth was to be divided among Noah’s three sons and their future progeny.ĭuring the time it took to move things from the ark to Noah’s farm, they likely had to do a great deal of scouting and mapping of the land in their immediate vicinity-which could’ve taken many years. Noah’s FarmĪfter the flood, God told Noah and his sons to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth (Genesis 9:1). But unlike Enoch, there are archaeological remains of Babel that can be studied today. Like the city of Enoch, Babel was ultimately destroyed and left in ruins. Outside of Noah’s farm (Genesis 9:20), this was where civilization re-began and, more properly, self-destructed. The flood destroyed every city that existed prior to it (e.g., the city of Enoch, per Genesis 4:17). In fact, it was the first city that was established after the global flood of Noah’s day. The city was given to the Israelites after the conquest to judge the Canaanites for their sin against God (e.g., Leviticus 18).Īhh, but Babel-now that is an ancient city. Jerusalem was founded by Jebus and his offspring, the Jebusites, one of the Canaanite tribes after the confusion event at Babel. They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent and the servant said to his master, “Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it.” With him were the two saddled donkeys his concubine was also with him. However, the man was not willing to spend that night so he rose and departed, and came opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). Jerusalem is mentioned in Judges 19:10–11 (NKJV). In Scripture, Jerusalem is also called the city of Jebus, Salem, the city of God, Zion, city of David, and so on. But even those cities are not as old as Jerusalem (which means the “peace of Jebus,” “possession of peace,” “foundation of peace,” “teaching of peace”- Salem, or shalom, means “peace” by the way). And these US cities are nowhere near as old as London, England (almost 2000 years old), or Rome, Italy (founded around 750 BC). So now Supreme has turned the Tower Records building into a mere shell of a metal frame now. Sadly, the original bricks of the store were just taken away in dump trucks where I am sure many of the Tower Records fans would have loved to have one of those bricks as a memory of decades of the most amazing music store in the world.Yet, Cincinnati is not as old as New York (formerly New Amsterdam, founded in 1625). Supreme knew this and made sure to avoid the risk of both city meetings where they would have to face residents speaking for two minutes about the construction plans and impact of this scandalous sneaker drop event business. This was definitely not at all what Supreme discussed regarding the renovations with the neighborhood residents. This way Supreme cleverly knew without razing the building completely they could just do an “over the counter” permit at the planning department at West Hollywood City Hall, thus, bypassing the more formal longer process of going in front of the planning commission and city council.
Sorry, there are no polls available at the moment.īut now we see this week that the building has been totally gutted where all the walls have been removed.
