The Homiletic Review Genesis 11:27-32 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.… I. DIVINE PROVIDENCE SO ORDERS DEATH THAT HUMAN CALCULATION CANNOT BE A FACTOR IN LIFE. 1. Youth is no security. 2. Health is no protection. 3. The order of nature is set at defiance. 4. No reliance can be placed on the distinctions of society — on the law of heredity, on favourable conditions. II. GOD'S DESIGN IN ALL THIS IS TO TEACH MANKIND, from the cradle to the grave, THE UNCERTAINTY OF LIFE. Death is ever in our path. (The Homiletic Review.) Parallel Verses KJV: Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot. |
