Tower of Babel
Tower of Babel.
The Earth slowly began to repopulate, but even after a hundred years or so, there were no different dialects, for all still spoke the same common language. A time came when the decision was made to construct a huge tower, and we are told how the builders used brick for stone, and slime (bitumen) for mortar.
Genesis 11:1. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
Genesis 11:3. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
Why are we told specifically that the builders had brick for stone? And why they needed a binding agent? It’s the Holy Spirit’s way of telling us that the builders needed to prepare their own building material. Instead of using natural stone, they had to make their own bricks.
For none this side of Noah’s flood have had the ability to cut the 3,000 ton blocks of granite, many with flat surfaces, right-angles and sharp corners, transport them up the side of a mountain in Southern Siberia, and stack them together to form a massive wall 40 meters high. At the site of Jupiter’s Temple, Baalbek, north east of Beirut, three massive chunks of stone, each weighing around 800 tons, were moved at least a third of a mile and positioned with machine-like precision high up in a wall. Each block is heavier than the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, which weighs in at 700 tons. Another block nearby weighs an incredible 1,000 tons.
Hence why the megalithic stone monuments such as Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid and the Sphinx have remained unrivaled. Even with modern technology they cannot be equaled today. How was this possible? Official history does not wish to address such questions for fear of where it might lead that is to the Nephilim and sons of God.
It’s not known for certain who oversaw the building of the tower of Babel, although it’s generally attributed to Nimrod, the great-grandson of Noah. Whoever they were, the builders were children of men, and not the post-flood progeny of the sons of God, as some have claimed.
Genesis 11:5. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men build-ed. The Bible does inform us the builders intent was for the top to reach heaven, and that the builders desired to make a name for themselves. Babel comes from an Arabic word meaning Gateway. The Tower it would seem, was built in defiance of God by the people, as a ‘gateway to commune with the fallen angles and as an occult driven power-base from which to control the world.
It was somewhere around 2,250 BC when God intervened by confusing the tongues of men, which caused the . construction of the Tower to grind to a halt. This initiated the need to separate into different tribes where all shared the same language, color, and each group migrated from Babel in every direction.[image error]
