Genesis 11

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.

The people of the time, that is the generations after Noah united by one language or lip and having the determined heart to stay bunched together, decided to stay in the land of Shinar and be independent of God. They told themselves that they needed to build a city with a tower reaching to heaven. More importantly, they said, “and let us make us a name..” In building the city and tower of unity, they used the easy available materials of baker earth blocks and slime. That was when the Triune God moved against their purpose and went on to scatter them by confounding their lips. The place was called Babel, a place of confusion.

Man has always worked out his own self-defined salvation. Christ is salvation. But man wants it in his own way, using his own reasoning and wisdom. God placed man on the planet earth to search and find Him, the source of life. Being scattered abroad, leaving the unfinished symphony of rebellion behind, people of similar tongues bandied together and went to establish themselves in different locations of the world from the present Middle East to Africa to Europe and from there they expanded to all parts of the world, seeking God but failing to find Him as long as they insisted on their own conditions. And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell in all the face of the earth, and hath determined the time appointed, and the bounds of their habitation (Acts 17:26).Millennials later, apostle Paul was in Athen on a missionary journey across the land when he discovered an altar dedicated to THE UNKNOWN GOD  which, in finding god after the image of man, the people had set up to worship. The dispersal of the people from Babel stayed effective. But everything was to display the wisdom of God in birthing the nations and different races of mankind.  Different nations in their locations reared up different gods and each nation assumed the characters of the spirits behind the gods and goddesses. In some places, the creatures are more recognised than God, the Creator. Yet, God has always been interested that man should find Him.

One incurable habit of man is the itching to put out his hand to take what is God’s bonafide rights without the consent and law of God. When man was forming it in him to take the tree of life, God sent him post haste from the garden. And God has been orientating and stirring him towards Himself, but all in vain. The scripture says, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life (John 3:16). By this, the search of man to God for salvation and eternal life should come to an end for all nations of the world. Man should be born from heaven. This is salvation.

There has always been substitutes by man to every act of his displeasing to God. And till this generation! Human achievements have always been used by man as the indices of his salvation and wisdom. Today, science and technology have also been advanced by man to serve as his vehicle of salvation. His present attainments are breathtaking. Science and technology are run on the bases of one language. Scientists and technologists are bound together by mathematical and scientific language. Man has invented machines more efficient and creative than him. He’s created humanoids which are half human and half machine. This journey started way back in the twelfth century in Europe. God is not intimidated by the attainments of man here. Man’s science and technologies answer vast human needs: health, education, communication, prolongation of life, even designing of new creatures. The Lord is unperturbed as in the building of the city and tower of Babel. Unphased, God has allowed him to develop his wisdom and reasonings, even when he receives revelations from foreign spirits. God is comfortable with his reasonings; technologies and science are products of reasonings. However, God is not comfortable with direct links to foreign spirit-inventions as such spirits make themselves gods and goddesses to man. For example, there’s a spiritual technology that shortens distances, see right into tomorrow, astral travel and projection…  These are forbidden by the Spirit of the Lord. But jets, electromagnetic related devices and so on… don’t court the displeasure of God because they don’t access the spirit of man directly. They may have other ways of affecting the spirit man, but certainly not in direct line like personal engaging spirits

Both building of the city of Babel and raising the all pervading age of science and technology are the same. But the Lord will soon shut up everything and establish his physical kingdom on planet earth. Then, only the wisdom of God reigns supreme. There will be less and less of human inventions but the spirit-natural in all areas of existence. The nations will come together again and will worship the Lord

Even then, come oh, Lord. Yours is the glory, the honour and power forever and ever

Thank You Lord for this
