The New Tower Of Babel

Today, the godless nations are attempting once again

To build the Tower of Babel.

Although they do not have a common spoken language

They have the common language of commerce.

The impetus behind the original was stated as follows:

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech.

As men moved eastward, the found a plain in Shinar (Babylonia)

And settled there

They said to each other,

'Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.'

They used brick instead of stone, and tar instead of mortar.

Then they said, 'come, let us build ourselves a city,

With a tower that reaches to the heavens,

So that we may make a name for ourselves

And not be scattered over the face of the whole earth

But the Lord came down to see the city

And the tower that the men were building.

The Lord said,

'If as one people speaking the same language

They have begun to do this,

Then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them.

Come, let us go down and confuse their language

So they will not understand each other.'

So the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth,

And they stopped building the city.

That is why it was called Babel—

Because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world.

From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

(Genesis 11:1-9)

It was the mercy of the Lord that gave them different languages

So that they would not come together

And accomplish their goal of unity.

Man made unity is always godless, establishes a dictatorial state,

And goes on to gross wickedness before God.

Nebuchadnezzar is an example of this in Babylon later in history.

If, at the Tower of Babel,

God had allowed them to accomplish their goal of unity

He would have had to wipe them out again

Due to their gross wickedness

As He had to in the days of Noah,

When the sin of mankind became irreversible.

This is always the destiny of mankind without God.

Today, virtually every nation has built their cities

And their towers that reach to the heavens,

Making a name for themselves, glorifying themselves,

Ignoring the God of heaven.

Their cities are little Babylons, sick with sin.

Today, commerce has brought them together.

Soon, they will confirm their unholy allegiance to the son of Satan,

The Antichrist, the Beast of Revelation.

They have been driven there

By their attempt to build their man made utopias,

Under the deception of the evil one.

In this pursuit they have incurred enormous debt

That can never be repaid.

The nations of the world will ultimately declare bankruptcy

And look to the Antichrist as their savior.

They have rejected God's Savior, Christ, Jesus,

But in their godless, deceived mentality,

They will receive Satan's pretended savior, the Antichrist.

This will be the reconstitution of the Tower of Babel

And its pretended glory

That will be a short lived three and one-half years;

Culminating in The Battle Of Armageddon

And the return of Christ Jesus,

Who destroys the armies of the godless nations.

At the same time all the towers of the cities of the nations

Are destroyed and most of their citizens killed.

Such is the ignoble end of godless mankind as we know it.

Nevertheless, today,

Every person can turn to God and His Christ, Jesus and be saved.
