BEFORE STONEHENGE!

BEFORE STONEHENGE! [Who Taught the Ancient World to Build Altars?] Genesis 4:1–8; Genesis 8:15–22 KJV Why did ancient people build altars and monumental stone structures? And what does the Bible reveal about humanity's earliest knowledge of God? In Lesson 6 the journey from Eden to Cain and Abel, from Noah's altar to the Tower of Babel, and from Abraham's worship to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The lesson also examines Stonehenge and Göbekli Tepe, distinguishing archaeological discoveries from biblical revelation and historical speculation. Three tremendous truths emerge: God revealed Himself before mankind built altars; worship and sacrifice appear in the earliest biblical generations; and although humanity learned to build impressive monuments, only God could provide salvation. The lesson concludes with the greatest truth of all: mankind's deepest need was never another monument, but reconciliation with God through Jesus Christ.
