The Tyranny of Babel

"The Lord said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. and this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them. come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech.'"      (NASB)

So let me get this straight... Civilization is clicking along, everyone's cooperating, people are speaking the same language, building great monuments and temples, and along comes God. He whammies them, and strikes a dissonant chord in the harmony they had created.

Why would he do that?

Prelude To The Sixth Seal

Seth called on the name of YHWH, and Enoch walked with YHWH, but people are people; and when it comes down to it, the Sons of God were people.

The Sons of Man (the pre-flood Sumerians) were as fruitful and religious as the Sons of God. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil had spawned an orchard, and the fruit was tasty; exotic women, vast riches, and great power. All the Sons of Adam had to do was forget who they were.

Signs Times and Progress (part two (part one))

Abel was dead and Cain rode the white horse, but Adam was spry for a man of 130. Eve, who wasn’t much younger than her husband, had another boy; she called him Seth (Compensation). Adam lived another 800 years after that, making him 930 when he died.

I always thought that if I were an anti god guy guy I’d be jumping all over Genesis 5. Nine hundred and thirty years old…Really?

They've Been Here All Along

I used to think that Revelation was the scariest book in the Bible, what with creatures having too many horns eyes and crowns to fit on one head and the four horsemen who are waiting for God to give the Word so they can start smiting people and spreading misery before Jesus throws a mountain on the beasts' heads and sends whoever's left on earth straight to Hell...pfft
