"Tower of Babel"
Resuming Construction On The
Tower of Babel
By Pastor F. M. Riley
November 10, 2019
"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!
