Pastor Rhode uses Luther's commentary on the generations of Shem and the call of Abraham to show how God preserved the church during the time of Noah. The plurality of God in the Old Testament, the significance of the Tower of Babel, and the dispersion of Nimrod's followers are key points discussed. Insights are given on the chronology of the patriarchs and the connection between Shem, Abraham, and the true faith. The introduction of God's covenant with Abraham is given, focusing on the promise of God, to make Abraham a great nation and bless all the families of the earth through his offspring.
