The Tower Of Babel And The End Times

posted by PrayerWarrior

It has always interested me how the Tower of Babel,coincides with the end times. In that the people of the times of the tower of Babel,were all of one mind,and that in the end times it would be the same way. Now it is easy to see that the governments of the world,through the U.N. are working to come together. Working on making us a one world government,and one world currency,and eventually a one world religion as well.

The bible tells us this is going to be the case in the end times,and we can see it all coming together. At first I found it all to be a very slow occurrence,now it is moving at an ever greater speed. As we come closer and closer to the fulfillment of bible prophecy,it will move at lightning speeds. We must be completely prepared for what is coming, so that it does not catch us unaware. Therefore surprising us into shocked immobility.

God prepared us for all things to come, through his word, so that we who adhere to the word, will not be shocked into being unable to do anything, or to stand up under such hard times that will be coming. Now I will show the parallels between the tower of Babel and the end times. I pray that the Lord will lead my hand, so that you may understand what the Lord would have you know from this particular occurrence.

In Genesis chapter 11 verses 1-9 We see here a people of one speech, one mind,wanting to stay this way, as well as make a name for themselves.

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. 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. 4 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. 5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech. 8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Now I want to concentrate on verse 6. And the Lord said,Behold,the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them,which they have imagined to do. The amplified bible says it like this, 6 And the Lord said, Behold, they are one people and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do, and now nothing they have imagined they can do will be impossible for them. So there is a whole lot of power in numbers of people being of the same mind, and the same purpose.

That is why unity in the Body of Christ is a very powerful thing as well. We should not have this in fighting about doctrine,within the Christian community.

Anyhow. In building this tower the people left God out of the equation. They decided they were great and this tower was like a monument to their own greatness. God seems to be saying here also that, with them all being of one mind they can reach greater heights of power. That indeed nothing would be impossible to them. This is what the world is coming back to. In every part of the world Governments are failing their own countries,their own people,it seems even, at least here in America,on purpose.

So that the world will have one government. So that there can be one world currency,as well. I mean the countries around the world,their economies are collapsing, as ours will soon collapse, due to reaching the point of 90% debt, to GDP. GDP = gross domestic product: the measure of an economy adopted by the United States in 1991; the total market values of goods and services produced by workers and capital within a nation’s borders during a given period (usually 1 year).

Once the 90% mark has been reached then hyper inflation, or the collapse of the money, or both will occur. We cannot keep adding debt when we are over drawn. They cannot keep printing money, it makes the dollar lose value at each printing. Besides the fact that the machines printing money running 24 hours a day 7 days a week, cannot now keep up with the demand for more money. This also destroys the worth of the money being printed,because there is nothing backing the money. China has our debt and they do not want to give us any more money,due to the wasting of it, for the last two years.

Now to get to some parallels of the tower of Babel,and us today. Notice how it says they were making bricks? Bricks are man made rocks,they are all the same no difference in materials used to make them, shaped from the same mold. This is a metaphor for people,and how the government wants us all to be the same with the exceptions of the elite,the rich,the powerful people. God made us like stones,all different,all unique in our make up. Whenever God has a monument made to him,it is always with stones. Rocks not formed by human hands.

I was watching a Glenn Beck show recently and there was a man called Rabbi Daniel Lapin on the show. About three weeks before Rabbi Lapin came on the show I was planning out my tower of Babel end times parallel’s bible study. To my immense liking,this show was all about the tower of babel and the world today,or the Headlines of today,and how they mesh. Rabbi Lapin made the connection of the bricks and the stones. It was so good I did not want the show to end.

Also the other thing Rabbi Lapin said that was so very interesting is this. The mortar that holds the bricks together is materialism. Meaning the way the people stay as one, or think of themselves as one, was materialism. They had the same stuff. The same level of wealth or poverty, depending on how you look at it.

Here are Rabbi Lapins exact words. “And it’s very important because the lesson from ancient Jewish wisdom here is that you can bond people and unify people with a sense of common spiritual purpose, but if you’re going to eliminate the spiritual — if you’re going to take God entirely out of the picture — then you can unify people through materialism”.

“Get people in debt, use your credit cards, folks. Buy stuff. Acquire stuff. And then you can rent storage facilities to keep the stuff you bought that you don’t need. But that way, we’re all in this together and we can all talk about the great commercials we saw during the football game. And we’re all in this great materialistic splurge because it will unite people”.

“And what any tyrant knows is that you cannot enslave a people that believe in the boss (In God). You just can’t. And so, therefore, any tyranny will always begin to develop a hostility to traditional biblical faith, a hostility to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, a hostility to biblical commitment of any kind at all”.

“You always find that, whether it’s Cuba or the Soviet Union or anywhere else, secularism becomes the religion of the day. In fact, I gave it a name — secular fundamentalism, I think, is the religion of the day. Anybody who is following the Babel blueprint wants to eliminate distinctions between individuals and between countries and bring it all together under one tower of government”.

We are seeing evidence of this all over the world, through the U.N. They are working hard to unite the world. Look at the plans for M.A.E.D, Mutually assured economic destruction. Meaning if one government in the world fails,or better yet falls,we all fall. It is what is happening. France,Spain,Ireland,Greece, Portugal,they have or are, on the verge of collapse. Greece has collapsed,and what you do not see on the main stream media’s news, is the extreme riot’s going on there. The people are starving and so they are taking to the streets,rioting and fighting and destroying everything. Killing one another. It is horrendous.

But the sad thing is it is coming here, and a lot sooner than you can imagine. Have you all noticed the prices of food and gas going up? Everything is going up because it has to, to deal with our debt,which now we cannot even touch. I heard an American citizen the other day say listen folks you might want to teach your self and children how to speak mandarin Chinese language, because soon China will own us. I believe it.

Now to finish this up. The way that this all relates,is this.The people were of one mind,one religion which was secularism. And our world wide governments, are working to have us all come to being of one mind, as well as doing their level best to make us all secularists. They are killing off our freedoms one by one,and it wont be long until they have made our Constitution null and void. They pretend this allegiance to the constitution when in actuality they hate our constitution,they find it bothersome,and antiquated.

The people of the times of the tower of Babel were given different languages,and were moved to other parts of the earth, to keep them from coming together. Now God does not have that option. Now the end will come when you see the one world government,the one world currency,which I believe will actually happen first. When we see this, we know the end is very near. Because all God has left is to destroy evil. Also the one world religion. What that will be, i am not 100% sure of, but I personally think it will be Islam.

They (all the leaders in the world) are working on making all of us little people into slaves,into the same as one another,not stones but bricks. I personally plan on remaining the stone God made me to be. I will not go along blithely with the worlds governments plan to make me a slave. Nor will I give up my strong belief in the Lord and His saving grace. I may have to suffer some horrid stuff,but I am the Lord’s and will be no others.

Here is the Glenn Beck Program if you would like to see it. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,602223,00.html it is part of it with a 17:43 minute recording, I do believe you can watch the rest of it too. But if not, you can read the rest of it. If you cannot click on the link just open a new tab, then copy and paste it into your browser.

Let us not think ourselves as mere bricks,but as stones hand crafted by God.

Love in Christ,Tammy

Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing

posted by PrayerWarrior

When I was led to do this particular article, I researched it, and do you know what I found?
I found that all those preachers who are busy pointing out other wolves in sheep’s clothing were actually the very thing they were preaching against. Thats right, look up the words wolves in sheep’s clothing for yourself, and notice it is preachers talking about other preachers and putting them down. You will see what it is The Lord was speaking about through Paul. What does this mean to me, when I hear of ravening wolves, hiding as one of the sheep among the sheep? I think of devious jealous snarling angry unhappy people. Who do not apparently have enough to do with their own lives, and are just not busy enough leading people to the Lord. Our great commission according to Jesus is to go out and lead others to him.How can we effectively lead others to the Lord, if we are so busy looking for something bad to report about another preacher or teacher? Or even another brother or sister in Christ. It reminds me of my children when they were growing up and jealous of one another’s attention. Dad he said this, mom she said that ,aren’t you going to punish her or him?

In effect are we not as brothers and sisters in Christ doing the same thing when we take it upon ourselves to point out a wrong word or misspoken sentence someone else might have said? Most often, peoples opinions on others, is based upon their own prejudices, jealousies and or anger.It is a sad state of afairs when in looking for verses online pertaining to wolves in sheep’s clothing. Alls you can find on the issue is other preachers putting down other preachers and teachers.We are all supposed to be honoring one another in the body of Christ. Now I have no problem personally with others prayerfully considering sharing their disappointment with other Christians. Once in a while about someone they once had great esteem for,and they found out through that preachers own words, that he/she was indeed a wolf in sheep’s clothing.This takes serious consideration and time. My issue with the preachers who are talking smack about other preachers is this, they are not working the great commission that Christ told us is our job. That is simply to further the kingdom of God. To grow it and in love and patience teach one another.

If say a person came to Christ through the teachings and or preaching or evangelizing of one preacher, and then that new Christian heard through another preacher even their own preacher, that this person whom at first led them to the Lord, was a crooked so and so, or a wolf and they simply had misspoken something. Would that new baby Christian turn away? Would that new Christian who held such esteem for this person who led them to the Lord, Now hearing that preacher is bad bad bad. Couldn’t that give them serious pause to think, oh man who am I kidding here? I don’t know anything. I was stupid to listen to that or this person. Would that not turn them away forever more? I know within myself if I had heard all that I now know as a new Christian. I probably would have turned away. Thinking I knew nothing and this was a bunch of angry people I would not want to have anything to do with.

A study was done this past summer and filmed on,what other people think of Christians, are they united or divided? The answer by people who are not saved and do not have a clue about it, was they are so very divided. That dear friends is horrible. How can we effectively show the world at large, that we are indeed of one body, if it seems to the rest of the world that we are not united. Philippians 2:2 then fill me with joy by having the same attitude, sharing the same love, being united in spirit, and keeping one purpose in mind.[ISV] 1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all like minded, compassionate, loving as brethren, tenderhearted, humble minded: This is the body of Christ and what it would look like to the rest of the world.

Romans 15:6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. Amos 3:3 Can two walk together, except they be agreed? Psalms 133:1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Jeremiah 32:39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
John 13:34-35 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Romans 12:16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.  I could go on and on with these verses of unity, but this has moved me in another direction than I wanted this article to go. Obviously my next article will be one minded in Christ.

Now what we are looking for in wolves, who are ravening and mad, who hide themselves as Christians among Christians . “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. “Matthew 7:15, KJV “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. “Matthew 10:16, KJV “Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves. “Luke 10:3, KJV “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.”Acts 20:29, KJV.

Jesus does not spell out what “fruits” to look for, although in the Olivet Prophecy, He does link the deceptions of false prophets with the lawlessness and lack of love that abounds at the end time (Matthew 24:11-13). However, the rest of the Bible elucidates God’s character and nature, so we already have the tools to evaluate whether a message allegedly coming from God fits with what His Word reveals about Him. God is not double-minded; He will not contradict Himself. In other words test everything you hear everything against the word of God. We are also quite lucky in that the Lord has provided us the Holy Spirit which helps us to have discernment within ourselves. If it sounds wrong compared to what you already know, then search it out, study it up, and learn, always learn about your Father in Heaven, and what he would have you know as truth.

The description here is very apt—wolves in sheep’s clothing. They appear on the outside to be something they are not. When Jesus uttered this, He was probably thinking of false ministers who would insinuate themselves into the church by appearing to be sheep within the sheepfold.

Jesus uses this terminology in regard to His relationship with the church. He is the Shepherd, and we are His sheep. Here we have wolves (false ministers) who look like sheep, but it is hypocrisy. They only look that way on the outside. He tells us we will know them by their fruits. The fruit that is produced will not necessarily appear quickly. But Christ guarantees that over a period of time the church will be stripped of its true spiritual vitality in terms of the character that will be produced within the flock, making the rise of wolves in sheep’s clothing more likely.

What is He saying? The implication is that Jesus is connecting belief with practice. If we believe a certain set of doctrines, we will practice something because of the teaching. A religious creed or the dogma that a group is following will produce a certain kind of conduct by the people. Belief and practice, creed and conduct—Jesus is saying they are vitality connected. In other words, the teacher cannot hide what he is going to produce. Eventually it will come out. Their false philosophies, no matter how attractive they may appear at first sight, will in the long run be exposed for what they really are.

In Closing my brothers and sisters, I wish to warn you a little further of what to look for in wolves hiding among us. (Romans 1:28-32) And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper, being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; and, although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them. At all times keep your ears open, your eyes trained on truth. You I trust will know who to stay away from.

It is not our job to show the world who in our own opinion is a false teacher, but to trust the Holy Spirit will warn individuals of who is a wolf in sheeps clothing. To speak ill of someone else who is according to the word, our brother or sister is gossip, and slander.

Love in Christ Jesus,Tammy
