I was blessed and encouraged in listening to this--and being reminded of something that happened when I was 17 years old. My father was dying of cancer. Within the routine of family members sitting at his bedside (this was in 1962 where there were NO niceties of either staff or equipment in small rural hospitals....), it was my turn to sit with him for 5-6 hours through the small hours of the night. At a certain point, I roused myself a bit to glance at him laying on the bed, now uncovered. He lay on his side, with his backside totally exposed to view. I immediately knew what I would do, quietly got up, walked across the room, gently covered him with the sheet. And I never told anyone about that. Ever. It blesses me today, now 79 years old, to be able to identify the honoring that I showed my dear daddy in those moments. It had meaning. It HAD meaning that I honored him. I'm so glad to have that understanding. And now I am so much closer to seeing him again--closer to seeing him again--not near as far as I am from the last time I saw him. Dear daddy---I'm coming home. Yes. I'm coming home.
Now let’s do our best to not cover the light that we bear. No hiding our light under a bushel . 🙏🏼🎶 So are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
Every teaching I've ever listened to from Dr. Sproul is on point. Brilliant mind a heart for the Lord. He is sorely missed in the world of doctrine but seeing his Savior face to face!
@@Thruevangelisteyes No one's here for you. You're just spamming the same thing over and over again like you know something we don't know and Sproul doesn't know. It's annoying and nothing but vain repetition. At least change it up and stop being such a know-it-all. Thanks.
This sermon leads me to conclude that Adam and Eve were (before the fall) clothed with the love of God. And this truth encompasses more than I can imagine.
The issue I have with that version is that it seems like an unreasonable punishment if that is all that happened. All of his descendants were cursed as well. I have heard other interpretations such as him castrating his father to prevent him from having more children and reducing his blessing, etc.
All sin has it’s consequences; to those near by and to those who we will never see in this life. Our problem is we just don’t take sin seriously. Dr. Sproul , is a great teacher. Let’s go make use of his good teaching. 🙏🏼🎶 So, are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?

Wonderful message! Thank you Ligonier for keeping RC's messages alive. *The first act of redemption, IMHO, was that the Lord God killed and skinned a couple of animals to cover up Adam and Eve's sin.* And then the Lord God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die for us, which covers our (my) sin. Praise be to God for His plan of redemption!
God does not make plans. Men make plans and most of the time those plans get messed up. God has a purpose of salvation, not a plan. Rom 9:11-13: "For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;) It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated."
This may be nothing, but at 24:19, Dr Sproul mentions that we want God to overlook us and that we are looking for those proverbial "bushes" to cover us from the gaze of God. Then the burning bush popped into my mind. I've never gave the meaning of the burning bush much thought until that connection was made in my mind.

Marlene , amen , on the interesting. Now my question to you Marlene , is will it “ Motivate “ you to tell someone else about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶 Sincerely your brother in Christ.
I think Noah was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome because of the tragedy of the Flood. Perhaps Survivors Guilt is also a part of his mind set, in that the millions of people who died in the Flood, the lost of his own previous life and home, the total destruction of his previous society, having spent a year or more in an Ark at sea. Yes, he had much to be thankful for that he and his family survived with all the animals and believed in the Lord’s Word even more having seen the Lord’s prophecies come to pass. Then, to see the entire landscape to be totally changed and the overwhelming sense that he has to start all over again building a new life for himself and his family, after having spent a hundred years building the Ark and at his advanced age.
That is a good way to look at it. Possible the best way for us to look at our past lives. We have “ lived “ two lives. Before we came to Christ & after we came into his family. Rom.6:4-5 So , let’s tell his story and ours. Now , are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
Dee , amen . Now may I suggest; when we encounter something “ awesome “ , we check to see that it is truly changing us. Thus coming year , let’s hope that Dr. Sproul’s teachings really made a difference in our proclaiming the Gospel. 🙏🏼🎶 So , are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?

“You shall not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you lived, and you shall not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You shall not walk in their statutes. “None of you shall approach any one of his close relatives to uncover nakedness. I am the Lord. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.” Leviticus 18:3, 6-8 ESV
So are you saying ham slept with his fathers wife? Cause that’s the conclusion I came to. But I’m trying not to get it wrong here. Is it what sproul says? Or is it what I’m seeing which is ham with his fathers wife to usurp authority?
What is the real reason to cover a dead person face then at the funeral they’re exposed! Great massage! Confess your sins now to the Lord, because you’ll be exposed later even your motives!
Elise, yes it is. Now are you ready to let that “ Amazing “ teaching put you to work ? I hope so. 🙏🏼🎶 So , are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
Wonder if the garment used to cover Noah is the key to knowing how he knew what had happened? Did Noah somehow know Ham had seen him? If so, then the garment which covered him must have been familiar. It was brought to the tent; it didn't belong there, but somewhere else.
This is amazing! I just want to know if there is a sermon from RC that explains why the curse fell on Canaan and not on Ham directly. And if it had to fall on his offspring, why did it have to be the last born and not the first born of Ham? This video just got posted right after I rivaled for hours on this topic until I gave up.
Perhaps Ham's firstborn had already received a blessing, so he could not than be cursed, but Canaan had not yet been blessed? This also somewhat explains why it had to be Ham's son, hot Ham himself. If Ham was cursed, then it would have been just him, but if Ham's son was cursed, that would carry on throughout generations. If Ham was cursed by Noah, it wouldn't seem to make much of a difference, because he doesn't seem to respect his father anyway, and Ham would still have his sons. By cursing Canaan for his father's (Ham's) actions, Canaan may grow up to resent his father (Ham), thus punishing him indirectly. Not sure if any of this is the objective truth, just some arguments that I've heard.
@jenkinsmatthew Well, it would not make much sense to me too for the curse to go directly to Ham. I do agree that it makes sense for it to go to his son. My problem is how the son was chosen. Ham had 4 sons, and Canaan seems to have been the last born. If the curse fell on the firstborn, that would make sense because of how firstborns were viewed by God and the Old Testament. But why skip all the older 3 and go to the last one? Is it because he was a favorite child like Joseph? It doesn't seem to hold up in that way. There's just that missing piece I'm trying to figure out. Also, if the firstborn had already been blessed, what about the other 2? If they were already blessed after being born, then why wasn't Canaan blessed yet? It's all still a mess in my head.
Mandla , some questions will be answered in heaven. But today I have a question for you that must be answered while you are still in the World. 🌎 Are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?🙏🏼🎶

Wonderful message; HOWEVER the Sin of Ham is much more demonic and devious than simply saying he saw "his father's nakedness"; nor does it explain the "curse" directed at Canaan rather than on Ham himself "the father of Canaan". The treacherous ACT that Ham committed against his father produced Canaan.
You have no basis for saying what you did. This Bible passage doesn’t say anymore than what Pastor Sproul said it does. I loathe it when people read in to the word what is not there.
@@Everettf99Speculation here revolves around acknowledged old testemant euphemisms for "slept with" and the reading of Genesis 9:22 - And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside. Followed by verses the reading of verses like Leviticus 20:11 - If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. Or Leviticus 18:7 - You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. (ESV)
Adam wields the fiery sword. Noah treads the winepress of wrath. Joshua... leads them into the promised land. Adam and Noah are clothed from the nakedness of the day of the Lord as the sacrifice of being made to be sin. In the same way, God always went about in a cloth tent. After a fiery judgment, the Column of fiery and Column of Cloud are created. The way of the Lord in the desert needs to be put into context with the previous passage: Sacrifice - Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins. Resurrection - Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God! (Isa 40:2-3 NABO) Just as it is appointed that human beings die - be judged - appear a second time, (so also Christ) Heb 9:27-28 …as the (Red) Dragon (Demon Sin) stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. (Rev 12:4 NABO)
1. Seeing his nakedness, means both the father and mother's nakedness. That is why two sons walked backwards covering the father and mother . 2. Noah new what his younger son has done , because the original garments were not their . The very same coats of skin given by LORD God to the man and his wife. 3. The iniguity of the Amorites, is the seed curried over the 1st death of waters and repentance to fullfill the law of vengance not only sevenfold, but seventy times sevenfold aswell. Hallo ,
I have been embarrassed by doctors and nurses so many times. I always say that once you have birthed a baby you lose all dignity. The very gowns they put you in are designed for their benefit and not the patients'. A dressing gown is just as accessible as a hospital gown. They insist you wear them with your bottom exposed, even if the procedure is on your arm! I think it is a power thing.
Dee , I’m sure you’re right. But all of life is a power thing. What thing or things, have power over how you live life ? 🙏🏼🎶 So are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
Ham did not honour his father. Just after God destroys man by cursing the earth"for the second time" , he spiked the football. And we are all under a curse.
The trend now is to interpret beyond what is categorically stated in the bible. This pastor makes different interpretation and attribution that veered away from what is clear interpretation on the verses to ambigous one..This trend leads to different kinds of religions proliferating in this planet..
Hope you people are reading your bible to see if RC Sproul is right or not. It’s obvious that most of you who commented did not. Never listen to a private interpretation from men without reading the Bible and have the bible interpret itself.
When I read the Bible. And it hit me that ham could have slept with his fathers wife, I was certain that was it. Now I see I may have jumped to conclusions. Now if you came to the conclusion of that being a possibility. Good. You are paying attention to the details. It may not be the case, but noticing the possibility shows you that you are looking hard in the scriptures
Great ahead of hair..think the atmosphere was much thinner..thus the reason for the drunkenness..Why was Ham looking in there the first place? Strange..
Sir... the sages tell us that it was Canaan that first saw his grandfather's nakedness and went and told his father Ham... they also tell us that Ham did have relations with his father and then castrated him... the scriptures doesn't tell the story but the oral Torah does...
Don’t agree the other interpretation makes more sense since drunkenness was not declared a sin yet for the Mosaic law and covenant has not yet been instituted.
The entire reason: The only reason Jesus came into the world was to appease the wrath of the Father toward us so that we might be saved. Jesus came so that we would know him and the Father. He told us that it was God, his Father, who had sent him. Only this is eternal life (John 17:3). Jesus said “all that the Father has is his,” because God has placed all things into his Son’s hands (John 3:35), but it is God's power and spirit alone in Jesus that does all. Jesus said “the words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself, but the Father, which dwells in me, HE doeth the works” (John 14:10). God walks and lives in all who belongs to him (2 Corinthians 6:16). Jesus is not God.
@@donaldgiltner7232 Irrelevant argument. Of course Jesus was before Abraham if he was before the foundations of the world. The angels were before Abraham as well, does that make them God? No, it doesn’t. Let’s not contort God’s word to fit our own ideas.
@@Shawn-q3x in several places in John Jesus makes I AM statements and immediately the Jews are wanting to stone Him.seems to me that reaction would imply claims to deity.
@@donaldgiltner7232 Jesus speaks on behalf of God. God speaks to us by his Son, Jesus. Those who are truly of God will know when Jesus speaks whether it is of himself or if he speaks on the Father's behalf (John 7:17). If you think Jesus was ever speaking of himself as God, then you don't truly know what he was saying---just like the Jews (John 8:26-27). John 12:49-50 states "For *I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,* he gave me a COMMANDMENT, what *I should say, and what I should speak.* [50] And I know that *HIS commandment* is life everlasting: *WHATSOEVER I speak* therefore, even *as the Father said unto me, so I speak."*

Beautiful way to deliver this message, it gives another perspective on how to understand and apply the word of God.
I was expecting him to gives us an insight about why Noah curses Cannan (his grandson), and not the one who committed the sin (Ham). Thank you for posting this video.

I’m thinking your brain is saying, “ That’s an easy one “ . Jesus said we would be his witnesses. I hope we follow his command, as we would if a general were saying it. I was never in the military; so I’m counting on you to lead this charge. 🙏🏼🪖 Are you in ? Proverbs 1:20-21

I think Noah was suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome because of the tragedy of the Flood. Perhaps Survivors Guilt is also a part of his mind set, in that the millions of people who died in the Flood, the lost of his own previous life and home, the total destruction of his previous society, having spent a year or more in an Ark at sea. Yes, he had much to be thankful for that he and his family survived with all the animals and believed in the Lord’s Word even more having seen the Lord’s prophecies come to pass. Then, to see the entire landscape to be totally changed and the overwhelming sense that he has to start all over again building a new life for himself and his family, after having spent a hundred years building the Ark and at his advanced age.
That is a good way to look at it. Possible the best way for us to look at our past lives. We have “ lived “ two lives. Before we came to Christ & after we came into his family. Rom.6:4-5 So , let’s tell his story and ours. Now , are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
This was awesome!
Dee , amen . Now may I suggest; when we encounter something “ awesome “ , we check to see that it is truly changing us. Thus coming year , let’s hope that Dr. Sproul’s teachings really made a difference in our proclaiming the Gospel. 🙏🏼🎶 So , are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?

You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father’s wife; it is your father’s nakedness.”

So are you saying ham slept with his fathers wife? Cause that’s the conclusion I came to. But I’m trying not to get it wrong here. Is it what sproul says? Or is it what I’m seeing which is ham with his fathers wife to usurp authority?

Wonder if the garment used to cover Noah is the key to knowing how he knew what had happened? Did Noah somehow know Ham had seen him? If so, then the garment which covered him must have been familiar. It was brought to the tent; it didn't belong there, but somewhere else.
Amen.

Can anyone tell me this; if Ham was the one that committed the offense, why wasn’t he cursed,and why was only Canaan mentioned? Ty
Wow❤
Now let’s hope that “ Wow “ compels us to tell someone else about Jesus. 🙏🏼🎶 Here we go ! Are you in ?
This is amazing! I just want to know if there is a sermon from RC that explains why the curse fell on Canaan and not on Ham directly. And if it had to fall on his offspring, why did it have to be the last born and not the first born of Ham? This video just got posted right after I rivaled for hours on this topic until I gave up.
Perhaps Ham's firstborn had already received a blessing, so he could not than be cursed, but Canaan had not yet been blessed? This also somewhat explains why it had to be Ham's son, hot Ham himself. If Ham was cursed, then it would have been just him, but if Ham's son was cursed, that would carry on throughout generations. If Ham was cursed by Noah, it wouldn't seem to make much of a difference, because he doesn't seem to respect his father anyway, and Ham would still have his sons. By cursing Canaan for his father's (Ham's) actions, Canaan may grow up to resent his father (Ham), thus punishing him indirectly. Not sure if any of this is the objective truth, just some arguments that I've heard.
@jenkinsmatthew Well, it would not make much sense to me too for the curse to go directly to Ham. I do agree that it makes sense for it to go to his son. My problem is how the son was chosen. Ham had 4 sons, and Canaan seems to have been the last born. If the curse fell on the firstborn, that would make sense because of how firstborns were viewed by God and the Old Testament. But why skip all the older 3 and go to the last one? Is it because he was a favorite child like Joseph? It doesn't seem to hold up in that way. There's just that missing piece I'm trying to figure out.
Also, if the firstborn had already been blessed, what about the other 2? If they were already blessed after being born, then why wasn't Canaan blessed yet? It's all still a mess in my head.
we can lose our blessing thru sin@@mandla.christian
maybe caanan was more precious to ham and therefore the greater punishment@@mandla.christian
Mandla , some questions will be answered in heaven. But today I have a question for you that must be answered while you are still in the World. 🌎 Are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?🙏🏼🎶
interesting especially about marriage, not every person takes that piece of paper as sacred, as important , as public and binding sadly, they still break their vows.

I am reading the Bible now at Genesis again but not understanding the part why Noah cursed Ham for that
Now I do
Cursed be he that lieth with his father's wife; because he uncovereth his father's skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen.
Jesus did not make atonement. He made propitiation.
"Behold the lamb of God, who TAKES AWAY the sin of the world.
Lamb of God = Son of Jupiter (IU Piter). The lamb symbols the spring season. The pass over from winter (sin) to spring (crop growth/nurture) is nature at work.
Jesus did both.
@@markoaks8694
The lamb (Aries) takes away the sins (winter season) of the world (year). Happens every year at pass over from winter (Exile) = to spring (Promised Land)
Wow. Lol i have never heard this teaching on this part of scripture
Maybe you been in that truck , just a little too long ! 😝 So , if you’re out of the truck, or inside; are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ? 🙏🏼🎶
Wonderful message; HOWEVER the Sin of Ham is much more demonic and devious than simply saying he saw "his father's nakedness"; nor does it explain the "curse" directed at Canaan rather than on Ham himself "the father of Canaan". The treacherous ACT that Ham committed against his father produced Canaan.
Elaborate please
You have no basis for saying what you did. This Bible passage doesn’t say anymore than what Pastor Sproul said it does. I loathe it when people read in to the word what is not there.
How could he curse a child that wasn't born yet by name? And why would Ham want an old woman when he had his own wife? Idk. Just saying.
@@Everettf99
That's because you don't know what you're saying.
@@Everettf99Speculation here revolves around acknowledged old testemant euphemisms for "slept with" and the reading of Genesis 9:22 - And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brothers outside.
Followed by verses the reading of verses like Leviticus 20:11 - If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
Or Leviticus 18:7 - You shall not uncover the nakedness of your father, which is the nakedness of your mother; she is your mother, you shall not uncover her nakedness. (ESV)
Adam wields the fiery sword. Noah treads the winepress of wrath. Joshua... leads them into the promised land. Adam and Noah are clothed from the nakedness of the day of the Lord as the sacrifice of being made to be sin. In the same way, God always went about in a cloth tent. After a fiery judgment, the Column of fiery and Column of Cloud are created.
The way of the Lord in the desert needs to be put into context with the previous passage:
Sacrifice - Indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.
Resurrection - Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God! (Isa 40:2-3 NABO)
Just as it is appointed that human beings die - be judged - appear a second time, (so also Christ) Heb 9:27-28 …as the (Red) Dragon (Demon Sin) stood before the woman about to give birth, to devour her child when she gave birth. (Rev 12:4 NABO)

Siddharth, may I ask you a question ? 🙏🏼🎶 Are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
👑✝️❤️🔥
Seen , now it’s our turn to proclaim the Gospel. 🙏🏼🎶 So, are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
cursed be Canaan... Ham fathered Canaan with his mother.
Ding Ding... The big twist? Noah was actually a woman.
I dont know for a fact. But I think it's an entertaining idea.
1. Seeing his nakedness, means both the father and mother's nakedness.
That is why two sons walked backwards covering the father and mother .
2. Noah new what his younger son has done , because the original garments were not their . The very same coats of skin given by LORD God to the man and his wife.
3. The iniguity of the Amorites, is the seed curried over the 1st death of waters and repentance to fullfill the law of vengance not only sevenfold, but seventy times sevenfold aswell.
Hallo ,
Darwin wrong, Bible true, Jesus saves. Love yall
I’ll, that’s not a bad summary. Now let’s go tell someone else about Jesus 🙏🏼🎶 Are you in ?
Amen 🙏
I have been embarrassed by doctors and nurses so many times. I always say that once you have birthed a baby you lose all dignity. The very gowns they put you in are designed for their benefit and not the patients'. A dressing gown is just as accessible as a hospital gown. They insist you wear them with your bottom exposed, even if the procedure is on your arm! I think it is a power thing.
Dee , I’m sure you’re right. But all of life is a power thing. What thing or things, have power over how you live life ? 🙏🏼🎶 So are you ready to tell someone else about Jesus ?
Ham did not honour his father. Just after God destroys man by cursing the earth"for the second time" , he spiked the football.
And we are all under a curse.
The trend now is to interpret beyond what is categorically stated in the bible. This pastor makes different interpretation and attribution that veered away from what is clear interpretation on the verses to ambigous one..This trend leads to different kinds of religions proliferating in this planet..
Hope you people are reading your bible to see if RC Sproul is right or not. It’s obvious that most of you who commented did not. Never listen to a private interpretation from men without reading the Bible and have the bible interpret itself.
When I read the Bible. And it hit me that ham could have slept with his fathers wife, I was certain that was it. Now I see I may have jumped to conclusions. Now if you came to the conclusion of that being a possibility. Good. You are paying attention to the details. It may not be the case, but noticing the possibility shows you that you are looking hard in the scriptures
Great ahead of hair..think the atmosphere was much thinner..thus the reason for the drunkenness..Why was Ham looking in there the first place? Strange..
man.... if only it were still true, now marriage itself is dangerous.
It was not him who entered the room it was his son ask me why I
Giuliani drunkenness: themes from Genesis
Sir... the sages tell us that it was Canaan that first saw his grandfather's nakedness and went and told his father Ham... they also tell us that Ham did have relations with his father and then castrated him... the scriptures doesn't tell the story but the oral Torah does...
So Alan Rosenberg is a preacher now?
Noa sa fufu le lima
Well according to belief of the rapture clothes pile were people stood befor rapture haha headed to heaven naked lol
*Limited atonement, unconditional election, and once saved always saved no matter what you do, are 3 heresies.*
Don’t agree the other interpretation makes more sense since drunkenness was not declared a sin yet for the Mosaic law and covenant has not yet been instituted.
Don't overdo it sir .He was only completely stressed out after what happend .Give him slak so we can all onjoy life
Cannen started the black curse
The entire reason:
The only reason Jesus came into the world was to appease the wrath of the Father toward us so that we might be saved. Jesus came so that we would know him and the Father. He told us that it was God, his Father, who had sent him. Only this is eternal life (John 17:3). Jesus said “all that the Father has is his,” because God has placed all things into his Son’s hands (John 3:35), but it is God's power and spirit alone in Jesus that does all. Jesus said “the words that I speak to you, I speak not of myself, but the Father, which dwells in me, HE doeth the works” (John 14:10). God walks and lives in all who belongs to him (2 Corinthians 6:16). Jesus is not God.
Before Abraham IAM
@@donaldgiltner7232 Irrelevant argument. Of course Jesus was before Abraham if he was before the foundations of the world.
The angels were before Abraham as well, does that make them God? No, it doesn’t. Let’s not contort God’s word to fit our own ideas.
@@Shawn-q3x in several places in John Jesus makes I AM statements and immediately the Jews are wanting to stone Him.seems to me that reaction would imply claims to deity.
@@donaldgiltner7232 Jesus speaks on behalf of God. God speaks to us by his Son, Jesus. Those who are truly of God will know when Jesus speaks whether it is of himself or if he speaks on the Father's behalf (John 7:17).
If you think Jesus was ever speaking of himself as God, then you don't truly know what he was saying---just like the Jews (John 8:26-27).
John 12:49-50 states "For *I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me,* he gave me a COMMANDMENT, what *I should say, and what I should speak.*
[50] And I know that *HIS commandment* is life everlasting: *WHATSOEVER I speak* therefore, even *as the Father said unto me, so I speak."*
@@Shawn-q3xJohn 20:28-29: "28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
