Genesis 11 Tower of Babel

In Genesis chapter 11 the sons of Noah were coming from the East in the beginning of the chapter, and some of them settled in the plain of Shinar. The plain of Shinar is located in the country of what we now call Iraq. This is important because most of the Christian world seem to think that the Ark of Noah is on a mountain in the country of Turkey (click HERE to see an article I wrote previously about this false Ark). It's important to know the direction of Turkey from Iraq is in a NNW direction. When the bible tells you that they were coming from the East then that can only mean they arrived in Iraq only by traveling West, which is what you would expect because they were coming from the Tarim Basin.

Nimrod the son of Cush, and his wife Semiramis, set up a revolt against the rule of both Noah and Shem. This includes a system of false religious practices and the founding of a city called Babel. Nimrod also found Assyria and built the city of Nineveh. The tower of Babel was built in defiance of Father Yahweh. I have heard before that most bible scholars believe the tower was an observatory and was central in false sciences such as telling peoples future and fortunes through Astrology. There is however, a real biblical science that reveals the Fathers glory in the stars. It is kind of lengthy and I will have to post another time about the relationship between the 12 signs of the Zodiac and Christianity.

Anyway..

In the book of Jasher in Chapter 11 verse 7 and 8 “...and he continued in wickedness and teaching the wickedness to the sons of men...And he caused the sons of men to sin, therefore it is said, from the wicked goeth forth wickedness.”

The people who lived in Babel had God visit and see the wickedness of Nimrod and his followers which in essence was a perversion of proper worship of the Father and paganism. If one would like to read about the types of worship that they conducted in Babylon it's outlined in a book called "The Two Babylons" by Alexamder Hislop that I read last year and recommend. It outlines the worship of Nimrod. I have a copy of this book in my library and I am willing to loan it to anyone that I personally know. 

Lucky for them the Lord confounded their languages, by confounded, main stream Christianity believes that he made everyone speak different languages. It is my personal opinion however, that they were speaking the same language but they just could not understand one another. It's only reasonable to believe that the people who could understand one another would start to form their own sub-groups, or would gravitate to the cities founded by Noah's other sons.

At the end of Genesis 11 is the first mention of Abram (Abraham) as he goes from Ur of the Chaldees to Canaan land, which today we would call Palestine.

Remember to thank the Lord for all that he does!
