Origins of the Nations

Let the NATIONS Call on His NAME

“Call on his name;

make known among the nations

what He has done and

proclaim that His Name is exalted”

Isaiah 12:4

 “If you do not carefully follow

all the words …written in this book,

and do not revere this

 glorious & awesome name -the Lord your God-

the Lord  will send fearful plagues

on you and your descendants,

 harsh & prolonged disasters:

 severe and lingering diseases.

 He will bring on you all the diseases …

that you dreaded and they will cling to you…

You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky

will be but few in number and

 then the LORD will

scatter you among all nations.”

Deut. 28:58

Welcome.  We will be studying the origins of the nations as well as the origins of our personal roots, heritage, and ancestry.  We will look at how history and heritage mingle in a whole new way.  How far back will that ancestry take you?  I think the answer will be surprising.  As you peruse the information, answer the questions fill out the booklet may the pieces and the lines of heritage start falling together in very pleasant places.

I would like to start this journey with some very familiar verses and help you engage in some very thought provoking perspectives.
