The beginning of his kingdom was Babel in the land of Shinar

6/6/2014

 
And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 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. Go to, let Us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 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. (Gen 11:1, 5-9)
Within a few generations (in Peleg's day) the descendants of Noah, who were told to fill the earth, settled in Shinar, in the plains SE of where the ark landed. GOD had told them to spread out and replenish the earth, and yet they gathered in one place. They had been told that GOD would never flood the whole earth again, and they began to build a tower to reach the heavens, to escape the flood that wasn't coming. Their unbelief and disobedience, led by Nimrod, a mighty hunter, was in utter defiance to the Word of GOD. GOD stepped in to confound the languages, and scatter the people by languages and families, and judging all those who stood in opposition to His Word.

There is coming a day, when much of the world will once again be of one language and purpose. A great leader, just as Nimrod, will rise up in defiance to the Lord, and unite those who reject GOD and His Word in rebellion, unbelief, and disobedience. GOD will judge those people when that day comes as well, and only those that are trusting in Him and faithful to the end will be saved because of their faith in His finished and perfect work on the Cross of Calvary. GOD has always called repentant sinners to Himself, to trust Him and obey His Word, to surrender to Him on His terms, to receive Him by faith for forgiveness and Salvation.

Until that day comes, we are to go and tell, and as we go, we are commanded to minister to the hurting in this lost and dying world, as GOD gives the increase. We are to disciple one another in love and in His Word that we may grow thereby. We are to proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ to all we meet, that they might believe and believing have life in His Name.

For GOD is not willing that any should perish, but that all would come to repentance and the knowledge of the Truth. Jesus loves you and wants to establish a covenant relationship with you that is real and personal. He calls you to receive Him by faith in what He has already done for you on that cruel Roman cross. Trust His Word for forgiveness and Salvation and He will give you a brand new life of discipleship and fellowship with Him that is abundant and everlasting. Come to Jesus, the Son of GOD who is GOD the Son, and be reconciled with GOD.

In Christ,
Jefferson Sweet
