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 founnd 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 for mortat,
     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."                                                  Genesis 11:1-4.  
Introduction
     Based on the statements made in 2 Timothy 3:16, 2 Peter 1:19-21, and 65 years of intense Bible study.......
     I believe that the Bible is a supernatural book, Divinely Inspired of God.  Therefore, in the original Hebrew and Greek languages in which it was given to mankind, it is absolutely inerrant and infallible.  Every word in the Bible, in the Hebrew and Greek texts,  was then inspired of God, and can be  trusted to mean what it actually and literally  says.
     Those readers who do not believe this, might as well throw this study aside right now and read no further, for this study will set forth some truths that even true believers may find hard to grasp, unless they sincerely believe in the supernatural inspiration of God's Word.  If the reader qualifies then read on....
     The Genealogical Records
     Here comes an email from a "prophecy teacher" claiming that we believers cannot be certain when the flood in the days of Noah occurred, because there is some doubt about the accuracy of the genealogical records given in Genesis 5 and Genesis 11.  I immediately ask, myself, "Doubt by who?" and "Are the genealogical records part of the inspired Word of God, or are they not?"  Now dear readers, make your decision.  
     If the genealogical records are part of the inspired Word, then they are absolutely accurate.  In counting the years in the genealocial record, from the birth of one man, until the birth of his son, beginning with Adam,  the flood occurred in the lifetime of Noah exactly 1,656 years after the creation of Adam.   God's Word says so, and I believe it!  But this is not why I even mention the genealogical records.  I mention them because I want to acquaint our readers with.....
Cush and Nimrod
     Readers will find the record of Cush first mentioned in Genesis 10:6-8.  Cush was one of the sons of Ham.  According to the ancient records of the Jewish people, Cush became one of the most vile and wicked men on the earth following the flood.  
     Then Cush fathered Nimrod, who became even more vile and wicked than his daddy, Genesis 10:8-10.  
     These two men appear to be types of Satan and the anti-christ.  Think about this!  
     Nimrod appears to be the first man after the flood who set himself up as a king to rule over other men.   The inspired Word tells us that he became "a mighty hunter before the Lord."  The wording of this statement in the Hebrew text literally means that Nimrod was a "hunter of souls," and placed himself "before the Lord" [in place of]  as the person to be worshipped by mankind.  Isn't this a characteristic of the future anti-christ?  See 2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 and Revelation 13:4.  
      The inspired Word then tells us that "the beginning of his kingdom was Babel," Genesis 10:10.  So apparently he was the man leading the people to "build us a city and a tower" in Genesis 11:4.  
     By comparing the genealogical record of Shem's descendants in Genesis 11:10-16, with the geneaolocal record of the descendants of Ham in Genesis 10:6-20, it appears that the city of Babel and the Tower of Babel were built 101 years after the flood.  This city and tower were obviously built to keep all the people together as one people, Genesis 11:4.  
     Nimrod was ruling over the people at that time; the very first one-world government, and he didn't want the people scattered abroad over the earth.  But at 101 years after the flood the Lord God intervened, confounding the language and tongues of the peoples, causing them to scatter abroad over the face of the whole earth.  So construction on the Tower of Babel ceased 101 years after the flood.  Yes, I am emphasizing this number.  
Regathering Mankind
     Keep in mind that from time to time Satan has tried to regather all the peoples on the earth back together, and establish a one world government over them all.  The various "empires" set up through history, were nothing less than Satan's attempt to regather mankind, and exercise control over them all.  However, it never worked.  God allowed every empire in past history to destroy its self through their own sinful and wicked practices.  
The First World War  
     Now let's push forward to these "last days" in which we are living today.  If our readers have seriously studied the First World War, then they know that it was nothing but an attempt on Satan's part to re-establish a one world government.  For the most part it failed to accomplish what Satan wanted.  However, out of the First World War the old "League of Nations" was born.  This was a first step towards once again establishing a one world government.  
     Before we leave the subject of the First World War, this war was considered to be so terrible, that at that time, the world leaders adopted the cliche, saying that "It was the war to end all wars."  Has that ever been a sick joke!  
     However, the world leaders at that time wanted to make an impression upon the nations, that such wars should never be fought again.  So they formally brought the First World War to an end by publicaly signing the peace agreements among the nations involved on November 11th, at exactly 11 a.m.  
     Dear readers, don't miss the significance of this.  The 11th month, the 11th day of the month, and the 11th hour of the day.  11 + 11 +11.  These numbers added, equal 33.  
     "11" is the Bible number signifying "Judgment."  "33" is the Bible number signifying "promise."  Those leaders that day were promising themselves and the whole world that there would be no more wars.  What a sick joke.  Isaiah 48:22 is still in the Bible.  Fallen mankind cannot reject the Lord Jesus Christ; who is "the Prince of peace," and ever expect to have peace. on earth.   
      There is no question in my mind that the Fiirst World War was Satan's attempt to begin spiritually reconstructing the Tower of Babel.  It didn't turn out that way!  But Satan doesn't give up easily.  
The Second World War
     The inspired Word explicitly says, "For the wages of sin is death," Romans 6:23.  The Bible number signifying "death" is number "23."  
     Exactly 23 years after signing that treaty in 1918, vowing to end all wars among the nations, the Second World war began on December 7, 1941.  I don't recall the exact date, but at some point just before, or during the Second World War, the old League of Nations officially became the United Nations, being given more power to intervene in controversies between nations, supposedly to prevent wars. .  The frame work was slowly being laid  for a one-world government.  
The Club of Rome
     Then in 1973 the Club of Rome, composed of a number of world leaders, took a world map and divided all the nations of  the world into ten kingdoms, presuming that a king over each of the ten nations would wleld more inflence and power than any other form of government.  This event has been mostly ignored by most of the public, but read about it for yourself in Rev. 12:3, 13:1, 17:3,17:7, 17:12, and 17:16.  This plan is very much alive and ready to be put into force by those seeking a one world government.  
Rebuilding the Tower of Babel
     Bible numbers are just as much a part of the inspired Word of God as the Scriptural statements in which the numbers occur.  
And I illustrate this fact by pointing out a truth that has been almost totally overlooked or ignored.  
     When the Lord God stopped construction on the Tower of Babel, it was 101 years after the flood in "the days of Noah." Mankind on the earth today is living in a repetition of those days, Luke 17:26-27.  Today there are many vile and wicked political, business,  and religious leaders who are "champing at the bit" to establish a one world government again, which will be totally free of the so-called "mythical" God of Bible believing Christians.  These one-worlders believe mankind on the earth today can achieve world peace and prosperity for everyone without looking to or depending upon the God of the Jewish and Christian Bible.  
     Dear readers,  the First World War was the time when the first "shadow" one-world government was organized.  In order to call the world's attention to it, those world leaders involved at that time, signed the agreement ending the First World War on November 11, 1918.  Well guess what?
      Tomorrow will be Monday, November 11, 2019, and it will be exactly 101 years since the one-world "shadow" government was established.  Work on Nimrod's Tower ceased some 4,000 years ago 101 years after the flood.  Are those trying to establish a one-world government today, ready to begin rebuilding Nimrod's Tower of Babel, right where work on it ceased 101 years after the flood?  
     Are the working out of these exact numbers all just  "coincidence," or is the hand of God involved?  Be careful how you answer, for God is listening, Matthew 12:36-37.  
What Will Tomorrow Bring Forth?
     I don't know!  I make no claim to knowing what will happen tomorrow, November 11th, 2019.  What I do know is that we are living in the very "last days" of this present dispensation of Grace.  Our beloved Savior and Lord could come for His Church and believing people at any time.  
     All of the "signs" the Lord told us to "watch" for have happened, or are happening right now.  What Scriptures yet need to be fulfilled before our Lord comes to take us "home" to glory?  Well....??  
     What will happen tomorrow, Monday, November 11th, and even maybe right at 11 a.m.?  It may be the rapture, as some think.  It may be a nuclear attack, beginning a nuclear war.  It may be a complete collapse of the world economic system.  It may be the beginning of world government.  It may be the collapse of the U.S. government.  It may be the beginning of the Tribulation period, and the reconstruction efforts to rebuild wicked old Nimrod's Tower of Babel.   
     I don't know what is going to happen tomorrow.  But I don't think these Bible numbers are just falling into place for no ryme or reason. in view of Nimrod's 101 years, is it then just "coincidence" that tomorrow will complete 101 years since the end of the First World War?    I am expecting something out of the ordinary to occur tomorrow.  And by God's GRACE "in Christ"  I am ready to face whatever is coming. I hope every reader of this study has that same assurance in their heart and soul, from the Holy Spirit of our living God.  .  If not, you have only hours to get ready before the 101 years first set forth  at the Tower of Babel comes to an end.  Whatever happens, I would not be tha least bit surprised if it doesn't happen in this 11th month on the 11th day at 11 a.m.  in the morning.  
     By the Grace of God I will be watching and praying, Mark 13:35-37.  I hope every reader will join me in prayer.  
     And may God add His GRACE to this warning!
