Building Into Heaven In Disobedience – The Tower Of Babel - Genesis 11 Series

Now we have God’s verdict. Assessment precedes verdict and the judgement for them was overwhelming. There was not one commendable thing. For his sin of murder Cain entered banishment. For the sin of defiance and rebellion, the people of the plain were sent confusion in language and that drove them away and they were dispersed all over.

What those builders were proposing is that evil will be accumulated and centralised. It is what might be called “a nest of evil” or “inhabitants of the devil’s den”. There is nothing that spreads as rapidly as evil. I remember in a bible study I was taking 50 years ago and we were speaking about the evil of leaven. Evil permeated and spreads and can do that very swiftly. An example came up I have never forgotten. When a bad apple is put into a case of good apples it quickly sends the good apples bad, but when a good apple is put into a case of bad apples, it becomes corrupted and is defeated. Wickedness spreads with no limit to it except the Holy Spirit. Can you possibly imagine what the Tribulation will be like when the Church is removed, and the Holy Spirit with the Church. God’s intervention was necessary on the plain of Shinar or man would have become so bad.

We are in those days of man in defiance of God, building his own towers spreading towards heaven with his own misplaced corruption. There is a new religion that has humanism at its core. Allied to evolution. It is the green movement under hundreds of conservation banners. It is the dominant move in the world today and has given impetus to climate change nonsense under world socialism. Socialism is building its own ziggurat today but God will savagely dislodge it in one judgement after another as the seals, the trumpets and the bowls play out their hand (Revelation). At the top of the ziggurat sits the WEF. With misplaced priorities the lifestyle of people will grow worse, the prophetic aspects of the New Testament will come into play, all because God has been replaced by Man’s tower to the heavens. However God will intervene as in Babel’s day.

You will notice in verse 7 the word “Us” is used and for a good explanation of the ”Us” check out this explanation - https://biblehub.com/commentaries/genesis/1-26.htm

Verses 8 - 9: GOD CONFUSED THOSE AT BABEL AND SCATTERED THEM

{{Genesis 11:8-9 “So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth and they stopped building the city. Gen 11:9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth, and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.”}}

Judgement separated them into language groups that dispersed and spread all over, the way God told them to do after exiting the Ark. There are times God must intervene in order to stop the progression of sin and its concentration. Right now we are in the days of grace as we head rapidly to the end of the Church age which ends at the Rapture. Mankind’s gross wickedness is seen today everywhere but the severe wrath of God will fall on the towers of mankind’s sinful constructions and they will cry out in the Tribulation – {{Revelation 6:15-16 “The kings of the earth and the great men and the commanders and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, and they said to the mountains and to the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the presence of Him who sits on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb.”}}
