The tower that was supposed to reach to Heaven
The pipe-dream of global government is as old as sin itself.
In Genesis 11: 1-9, the proto-civilization, descendants of the survivors of the Great Flood, got together in the plain of Shinar to build a tower that would reach to Heaven.
Why? “[L]et us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the earth.” And this was hubris. God countered their ambition by confounding their language, “that they may not understand one another’s speech.” And why did He do that? Because if He were to let it go, “now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Sounds just like globalism sounds today. This first time, the project fell through because the builders had lost the power to communicate.
Throughout history, would-be world empire builders relied on force to carry out their scheme. One after another, they rose and fell. But after the two world wars of the 20th Century, they replaced brute force with seduction. Now we’re told that a global government will bring us to Utopia.
As in the past, the globalists’ empire will grow to a certain point and then God will collapse it. Because there is only one Person with the right to rule the world: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, King of kings and Lord of lords. All the others are but thieves and porch-climbers.
How will the world state collapse? Folly and incompetence will do it.
“Ah, but man’s reach must exceed his grasp, or what’s a heaven for?” (Robert Browning) I am reminded of a very young child trying to take a plate out of a cabinet, just out of reach, and the whole mass of crockery crashing down to the counter. Sinners and fools will fare no better–no matter how much power we allow them.
The Bible counsels us, “Put not your trust in princes… in whom there is no help” (Psalm 146:3).
Yeahbut, yeahbut! Our princes are The Smartest People In The World! What could possibly go wrong?
The answer to that question will be painful.
Yes, indeed, good article. I think of this so often, and have written articles and studies on it to share with friends and members of my family. I have known since I was quite young that man did not have the ability to govern himself /herself. It appears more clear all the time.
Very good article.
Porch-climbers – that’s a new one on me. I read an article today how electric cars have been around since 1901, and through the decades globalist types have been pushing for them. It seems electric vehicles in the North during this past polar vortex could not get their EVs to perform and they were taking 3 hours to be charged. Ecc: “Nothing new under the sun.”
The current EV push is an exercise in failure.
I sent you a link to another electric car fire, south of Denver. There’s a lot of energy in those batteries, and I suspect that we’ll be seeing more of this as time goes on.
Somehow Patty was able to connect with that video and I couldn’t. I’ll try again tomorrow.
It’s worth watching.
P.S.–Thanks for the tip.
