The Tower of Babel

And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
Genesis 11:1-9

After the flood the people multiplied even as God had said and the earth became full of men again, though they were not scattered on the surface of the earth. The people also had one language for they all descended from Noah and were like one big family. As a result of the one language and speech, the people were united and of one mind, so they thought of doing something great for themselves. They thought of building tall and great edifices and in effect make a name for themselves and not be scattered on the surface of the earth which was clearly against the will of God for man. The will of God for man was that he should increase, multiply and fill the earth, but if man decided to be in a place and not spread on the surface of the earth there was no way the plans of God would become a reality.
The trick of the devil that man would become a God if he yields to the flesh was still very much in effect; man bought the lie already and truly wants to become God, he wants to make a name for himself. The devil had always wanted to separate man from God and make him do things on his own, knowing fully well that is the only way he can stand any chance against God. As usual man fell to the trap again which the first man ever regretted listening to the devil, which made him fall from grace and was chased out of the Garden, and did everything for him to return but was never possible. Since he was already living in the flesh, this time around he has grown more in the flesh unlike the first people that fell to the realm of the flesh; he tends to perfect his acts in the flesh. Since they were of one language and speech, they became united and wanted to accomplish what they failed at before the flood, actually it is the fallen angels that was behind this. Man always think he is fully in control of himself and that he is just doing as he pleased especially when he is walking in the flesh, but not understanding that doing the dictates of the flesh is tantamount to doing the dictates of the devil. This still happens today, many thinks they are in control of their actions and can do as they see please in the flesh, not knowing that they are still falling into that same old trick of the devil and he is fully directing their lives. They made bricks and began to build a world class edifice in order to make names for themselves, not be scattered on the face of the earth but united so they can accomplish more and all they set their hearts on. This was purely selfish and typical of a man in the flesh or carnal which is the desire or lust of wanting to become like God, though this might not even be known to the perpetrator.

The work was progressing because the people were of one mind and purpose, and they all understood themselves and knew exactly what they wanted. The work was progressing to the extent that it got the attention of Heaven; this was the first time in the scripture that God ever got threatened (actually the second time but this was more pronounced, the first time was when the fallen angels corrupted the seed of man by having children by them). The bible says that the Godhead came down to actually see first hand what man was doing, and they saw that this was indeed a threat to the kingdom of God, and the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do Genesis11:6. The Lord knew that man can not be left alone and that the power of their unity can not be undermined, it is note worthy that God commented on the unity of man and what he can achieve with it. This also the devil sees and which is the reason he always try to get man to unify in the flesh knowing that more power will be released for him to perform his enterprise, and also never wanting us to unite in the spirit of the Lord knowing fully well it’s a force he can not reckon with. The power of the unity of man is a force so strong that even the spiritual powers fears, though the spiritual supersedes and control the physical, it still can not accomplish much against man when they are united for a purpose. This the devil has seen for a long time which is the reason he is always exploiting man, and tries to bring his unity in the flesh that he may be able to use him against God. He also tries to do everything possible that man would not be united in the spiritual (Holy Spirit) knowing fully well that he will forever loose, though he still get them to unite in the spiritual but this is aside from God. The devil gets man to unite in the spiritual too, but this time around it is unity in the spirit in the dark world. This is real and very alive in our midst, with this unity the devil had also been able to accomplish much against the plans of God and get many to loose their souls for all eternity. The devil promises so much to man which is always a lie as his nature is, he promises wealth, fame, riches, security and the likes (becoming like God) all in return for the soul of the person. When the person finally gets this, he discover late just like Adam and the rest that has fallen victims to the lie (over the century) with great consequences, though the essence of the devil was the unity he can accomplish by bringing man in the spiritual. In the actual fact the devil lacks power without man, all that he has been able to accomplish was because he was able to get the consent of man by deceit.

God saw that immediately after the destruction of life with the flood and starting again with Noah, man had soon drift away from His plans for him and fallen to the trap of the devil once again. This time around it was not the intention of God to destroy all flesh, due to the fact that He had promised Noah and also that He is sovereign and can never be outwitted, thought of a better plan that would not affect man as He loves us so much. God brought about the confusion of the languages of man, as he was able to accomplish much because all men spoke the same language and are united with one purpose and mind. What God was actually doing was to put a stop to the unity of man in the flesh, for though God had wanted man to be united but obviously not in the flesh but in the spirit. The bible says that those that worshiped God will do that in spirit and truth, this had been the intention of God for man all the while, for Jesus himself also said that when He was praying for His disciples that they will be one even as He and the father are one. We are supposed to be one spiritually and not in the flesh, though as we become one spiritually we can also accomplish oneness in the flesh but the order should never be reversed; spiritual then the physical.

The Godhead came down and saw the destruction man is setting himself up with and how the plans of God was being threatened to be toppled, brought about the confusion to their language. The confusion forced man to abandon the project and invariably man scattered on the face of the earth, all the people that spoke the same language and understood themselves went the same way. This I believe was also the beginning of the different tribes and nations we have on earth today, though after this incident many languages metamorphosed with time; but this was indeed the beginning of the different tribes, languages and nations. The words of God definitely became a reality that man should increase, multiply and fill the earth, in that when the language of man was altered and everyone scattered and lived away from each other, as many as understood themselves. This also limited the devil and his cohorts for he can no longer get man united in the flesh and get him to accomplish his lust as he would have wanted; the unity of man in the flesh after this incident took the devil thousands of years. Though the devil had succeeded to some extent to get man united in the flesh today, but man is only going to be perfectly united in the flesh during the dispensation of lawlessness when the Holy Spirit will be taken from the earth and the man of sin will be revealed which is the anti-christ.

After the Lord brought about the confusion of the languages of man and scattered him on the surface of the earth, there was no more unity and that affected their goal, so they all abandoned the project and nothing much was said about man’s exploit until the dispensation of patriarch. Though the city of Babel was neglected but it later became the infamous city of Babylon, and little wonder the evil seed of man that was planted in that city surfaced in the way the Babylonians lived many years after. The city became so infamous that it became the prophetic opposite of the New Jerusalem in the scriptures; though it lay destroyed presently but it is going to be resurrected and become the New Jerusalem of the devil himself.

Do u still believe the lie of becoming God (consciously or unconsciously) just has the devil deceived our first parents? Though there are no fruits to eat or sky scrappers to build to show our intentions, but as we accumulate more, becoming more selfish and independent, we are tolling the same path!

Are u for God or against Him, are u gathering with Him or scattering?

Babel=confusion, the state of the world!

Actually God wanted Man to be like Him but not through the way satan paints for men to follow....coz the “becoming like God" satan offers is not becoming like God..... I can say it is becoming like satan himself. Satan wants men to be like him....which man won't b able to recover from(dis will eventually happen during the ‘sealing time'.

The two trees in the Garden of Eden offers the same thing:
1.You will not die
2.You will be like God

But one was actually lying(as we have fake,so do we have d original); Adam was tempted...for d tree of life doesn't vouch for itself.....but d tree of d Knowledge of Good and evil speak of greater things. God is like telling Adam....can you give up yourself to get me? God planted “Himself" in d Garden (He enshroud His wisdom and nature and put it in a tree)

Both tree speak of death....Yet d Tree of d Knowledge of Good and evil lied abt its own death: “u will not die".....but d death of d tree of life is not death actually.... is just dying to self.....

Adam was tempted ... not that he didn't know that the person talking is an enemy. Adam sinned..Eve was beguiled...there was voices in Him when deciding which to follow but d glory d evil tree was painting is powerful. He took it to arrive at the same answer: “becoming like God" but dat decision was a disaster. Adam wasn't a bad person, he was just looking for a short-cut;he shied away from d suffering of the Spirit.. coz the Tree of Life to him takes time. But the evil tree open ur eyes fast fast......God doesn't rush tinz....for your eyes to be opened will take process..

The tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil gives quick inheritance.. as u are eating... u are being rewarded.

satan gave man death....d type of death he propagates and created.. which is total separation. So when u hear Jesus talk in d Gospels that “He was a muderer from the beginning". Forget abt satan involvement in killing the sons of man(prophets);it is more than that. Satan murdered the life of God,Elohim puts in him.In other words,he killed Himself and turned that light into darkness.

Not just him,He also did the same to d angels dat were under his authority and chose to follow him.

Now, the “Becoming like God" was later fulfilled in a Man: Jesus. The Father gave the Holy Ghost the formular for Resurrection: it has never been used before.God studied how Satan wrote his own Law of death and wrote His own Law of Life which can turn death itself to Life.Death itself will be swallowed up.So,satan lost d key to death...

The person we now have on the throne now is a Man who is God....a Man-God......for the first time in the whole of heavens and earth and under the earth; a man was seen wearing the Glory of the Father... finally the Father can rest,for what He wants to achieved in Man is done.

No wonder It is said we have an Advocate with the Father...The Father is now saying to Men.....follow suit. Jesus is the standard.

Bravo bro twosquare, but this would have been better on the thread "Tree of life or Tree of the knowledge of good and evil"

U dint really say anything on this thread, Babel=confusion?

Pastor Olu T: Bravo bro twosquare, but this would have been better on the thread "Tree of life or Tree of the knowledge of good and evil"

U have said it all..concerning Babel. Wat was done in the time of Nimrod was actually a rebellion against authority and heaven. That “thought" is wat is disturbing.... God scattered their language just to save man. Coz even man is becoming too light to carry the Edenic language.He has become flesh, no longer a living soul. Hence, scattering the language is neccessary. All Man's thought is fleshy, sensual and not like God anymore. No wonder, they are thinking of building a tower that will reach heaven. And it is written, “By flesh shall no man prevail"
As u said, God want Man to unite in the Spirit and Truth.....It is a unity that will be birthed by the Spirit like unto the day of Pentecost.Shall then the Kingdom of God come.upon men. For the coming of the Spirit is Kingdom. So also,satan want men to unite in the flesh... flesh thoughts.. .that men won't become spirits. As long as man is flesh, it won't disturb him... for by this shall he continue his reign on man. satan wants men to live by his senses, see via the eyes of the flesh and this All results in CONFUSION(Babel)/Rebellion.... coz d way of the flesh is anti-God.This is what the man of sin shall perfect &sell that type of life to mankind: which is great darkness. Many nations are already in it..this is the lie (though may seem beautiful but it is on one mission: to remove every iota of God in Man).Man will live by himself and believe in himself..he will believe in his own strength and live by it.
Babel is here...confusion is here... rebellion has been set in motion. But in the midst of this, an Angel is crying out loud: O'ye that dwell in the realm of Men...hear what the Son is saying, who has been made so much better than the angels. He have the word to beat All the darkness, confusion and rebellion in this present age. Shallom.
