The Tower of Babel: History or Prophecy?
By Biblical Researcher & Goodreads Author Eli Kittim 📖
For decades, atheists, anarchists, and irreligious organizations——such as the Freedom From Religion Foundation & the American Atheists——have tried to ban religious freedom and religious expression from society, culture, education, and the media. And, by and large, these secular humanists have won that fight. The Bible was removed from American classrooms in the 1960s, and shortly thereafter prayer and the Ten Commandments were also removed.
The current shift toward atheism in America and Europe is largely due to these political endeavours. And in the globalist agenda——as propounded by Klaus Schwab of the World Economic Forum, & António Guterres (the Secretary-General of the United Nations)——religion plays a subordinate role in the upcoming one-world government.
In fact, powerful leaders have been conspiring for decades. We’re talking about a global dictatorship that has been in the making since the founding of the Federal Reserve in the early part of the 20th century. It has been affectionately called by Henry Kissinger, George H. W. Bush, Barack Obama, & Gordon Brown, among others, as “the new world order.” It’s not a conspiracy theory since many US presidents, British prime ministers, and high level officials——including Charles, Prince of Wales——have explicitly referred to it as an ideal future government that they’re all working towards as if “they are one people” (cf. Genesis 11.6)! This is no longer a conspiracy theory since this totalitarian world government——which has now reared its ugly head by censoring the masses through social media-driven panic, fake news, government lockdowns, and forced mask and passport mandates——is emerging before our very eyes. Surprisingly, the Bible foresaw this attack on religion, and especially on Christianity, and recorded it in Scripture. Psalm 2.1-3 (NRSV) reads:
Why do the nations conspire, and the
peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth
set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the Lord and his anointed,
saying, ‘Let us burst their bonds asunder,
and cast their cords from us.’
The Tower of Babel & the One-World Government
The modern discoveries & innovations in virology, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, robotics, genetics, molecular biology, as well as the harnessing of nuclear energy are seemingly implied in the following Biblical excerpt from Genesis 11.6:
and this is only the beginning of what they
will do; nothing that they propose to do will
now be impossible for them.
Might the scheme to “confuse their language” be a form of electromagnetic pulse attack known as EMP? An EMP is a massive burst of electromagnetic energy that can be generated using nuclear weapons. It creates an enormous magnetic field that can cause widespread damage & disruption to electrical and power grids within range. According to Peter Pry, a defense analyst with the Congressional EMP Commission:
You can use a single weapon to collapse
the entire North American power grid. …
Once the electric grid goes down,
everything would collapse … Everything
depends on electricity: telecommunications,
transportation, even water.
This is certainly one way to “confuse” or disrupt all forms of communication.
Since the towers or ziggurats that ancient people built were no match for the modern skyscrapers, might the Tower-of-Babel narrative be a *prophecy* instead of an origin myth about why people speak different languages? Let’s look at the evidence. The Hebrew Bible (Gen. 11.4) says that the people built a tower (וּמִגְדָּל֙ ū·miḡ·dāl) whose top (וְרֹאשׁ֣וֹ wə·rō·šōw) is in the heavens, or will reach into heaven (בַשָּׁמַ֔יִם ḇaš·šā·ma·yim)! Have the ancients ever built a tower that soared above the clouds? Hardly! However, the Jeddah Tower (aka Kingdom Tower), currently built in Saudi Arabia, will be 1 km (3,281 ft) high, “whose top” will literally be “in the heavens.” And it is appropriately called: a “tower.”
Notice also that many of today’s highest skyscrapers are actually called “towers” and they do, in fact, reach the clouds: the Jin Mao Tower, in Shanghai, the Willis Tower, in Chicago, the Petronas Towers, in Kuala Lumpur, the Burj Khalifa, in Dubai, even the Empire State Building, in New York City. Here’s a shot of the Empire State Building peeking above the clouds!
The Prophecy Concerning Babylon the Great
‘therefore her plagues will come in a single
day — pestilence and mourning and famine
— and she will be burned with fire; for
mighty is the Lord God who judges her.’ And
the kings of the earth, who committed
fornication and lived in luxury with her, will
weep and wail over her when they see the
smoke of her burning; they will stand far off,
in fear of her torment, and say, ‘Alas, alas,
the great city, Babylon, the mighty city! For
in one hour your judgment has come.’ …
Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a
great millstone and threw it into the sea,
saying, ‘With such violence Babylon the
great city will be thrown down, and will be
All of the evidence——including the language of the Hebrew Bible——supports an *apocalyptic* rather than a pseudo-historical Tower-of-Babel. The so-called “confusion” or disruption of communication may indicate the coming world Judgment in the form of EMP attacks & nuclear weapons, as alluded to in Daniel 12.1, Joel 2.31, Zechariah 14.12, Matthew 24.6-21, Luke 21.20-26, & Revelation 6.12-15 (i.e. the Great Tribulation). And the prophecy is set to take place when the whole world will be united as “one people” (Genesis 11.6), or one-world government!
Then they said, ‘Come, let us build
ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in
the heavens, and let us make a name for
ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth.’
The Lord came down to see the city and the
tower, which mortals had built. And the Lord
said, ‘Look, they are one people, and they
have all one language; and this is only the
beginning of what they will do; nothing that
they propose to do will now be impossible
for them. Come, let us go down, and
confuse their language there, so that they
will not understand one another's speech.’
So the Lord scattered them abroad from
there over the face of all the earth, and they
left off building the city. Therefore it was
called Babel, because there the Lord
confused the language of all the earth; and
from there the Lord scattered them abroad
over the face of all the earth.
