Rebuilding Ancient Ruins
Scriptural Reference: Genesis 1:26-2; 1-6
In Genesis 1:1-25, God demonstrated how to rebuild ancient ruins by commanding light to shine
out of the darkness and bringing order out of chaos. At that time, there were no cities or
skyscrapers, no airplanes, trains or superhighways. That will be the responsibility of Man, God’s
regent on the earth. So, in Genesis 1:26, God created mankind and gave him dominion to
commence further development of the earth from his rudimentary stage to his fully developed

Thereafter, the rebuilding process began and the first to rebuild were the likes of Nimrod, the
mighty hunter who possibly spearheaded the building of the Tower of Babel [Genesis 10:1-12;
Genesis 11:1-9]. In a sense, we can say the history of the world has been full of nations rising and
falling, empires rising and empires failing. Prophet Jeremiah captures the building and
rebuilding of the ancient ruins in Jeremiah 4:19-26.
