Scripture for Today, 9-9-20: Globalism & Babel

​Reversing Babel
The whole earth was of one language in the land of Shinar in Babylon. They decided to make brick 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. However, the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6And the LORD said, “let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech and scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth.

Genesis 11:1-9; Daniel 1:1-7
 
9-8-20, * -- After the ark came to rest on Mount Ararat after Noah and family made a sacrifice worshipping God (Gen. 8:20-21). God told them to be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth (Gen. 9:1). So the animals departed from the ark and went and filled the earth, yet man remained. Instead of filling the earth, Noah’s descendants traveled east and settled  on the plains of Shinar [modern-day northern Iraq/ Babylon in Bagdad Iraq & Syria]. It’s very likely that their human reasoning, albeit flawed, led them to believe they were acting out of their own self-preservation and not disobeying almighty God. [..]
 
They planted roots in Shinar and their numbers swelled. Here is where I believe their rebellion begins because even after their population began to grow exponentially, they refused to move on. Instead, they began creating small city-states. Then, about a century after the flood in the days of Peleg, mankind began to place their faith in a man named Nimrod [1] to lead them. [ I Chronicles 1:10, Micah 5:6; Genesis 10: 8-9] He was wicked and made the whole world rebel through the building of the Tower of Babel in Babylonia. Scripturally speaking, we know that they wanted to build a tower that “reached into heaven.” What that means is more conjecture than fact; but knowing sinful mankind’s basic inclinations we can speculate that first and foremost they forgot God desiring to find salvation through their own efforts (see Cain’s offering Genesis 4:3-4).
 
God stopped the tower by confusing their language driving him to Assyria from Shinar in Babylon. [Micah 5:6; Genesis 11:7-8]  God’s separation preserved mankind by adding friction to Satan’s plan for global domination. He created a “roadblock” of divine proportions on Satan’s highway to hell. Had there been only one system, and had one man gained control of said system, he could have quickly destroyed whatever chances mankind had to survive. Had God not intervened at Babel, it is likely, Nimrod would have created the first, truly global anti-God empire solely dedicated to rebelling against their Creator. The separation caused all of these different cultures and subcultures to compete against each other for relevance and prominence. In effect, God created a global system of checks and balances. [..]

​Fast forward 4,200 years
 Now for the first time in history since Genesis 1:1-6 and the tower of Babel, globalization is within man’s (and Satan’s) reach. From ancient times up until the 14th-century, the primary form of creating a “global” empire was solely through military conquest. [..] From the 14th-century going forward, the global banking system started to come into its own, and a valuable lesson was learned. He who controls the money of a nation controls the nation. [..]
 
Globalism is generally defined as the architectural merging of national governing bodies, into an international one. These generally come about on the heels of some major crisis (war, terrorism, poverty, global warming, pandemics, etc.) Globalization, on the other hand, comes more gradually through corporate acquisitions in the global markets, through banking operations opening market ventures into international trade, financial development (banks too big to fail), and so forth.
 
Any system that promises peace and security, apart from Christ, is at its core, anti-Christ (1 John 4:3) no matter how well-intentioned it may appear to be. In fact, Satan’s goal since Nimrod has been to unify the world into a singular system…so long as he controls it. 

The present day scenario regarding the Covid-19 Coronavirus, face masks then vaccines starts out voluntarily, but may soon become mandatory. The way things are developing with this Covid fiasco, anyone who refuses to accept the vaccine, may find themselves shut out of society.
 
The world is absolutely heading toward this one-world ‘pre-Babel’ system again (Revelation 6:1-2; 13, 17, 18). We’ve seen how globalists use crisis after crisis to solidify their power from the many to the few. The Bible foretells a time when, after a great crisis, the world rushes into the arms of ten-kingdom, new world order (Luke 21:10-11; 1 Thess. 5:1-9).

​I believe that great crisis to be the Rapture of the Church when the Lord Jesus Christ removes His followers from the earth.

[1] Nimrod was a very significant man in ancient times, the grandson of Ham and great-grandson of Noah. Nimrod started his kingdom at Babylon (Genesis 10:10). Babylon later reached its zenith under Nebuchadnezzar (sixth century BC). Here
