The whole earth is one language. “Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.” Genesis 11:1-2

The people of the earth had a common language and settled in Shinar, the area where Babel or Babylon was located. Babylon is a symbol of the global government of the beast, mentioned throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation.

We live in a world where the beast’s global government and culture dominate, following the agenda of the United Nations. There is only one language and one culture that unites all the people of the cities across the globe. This language does not belong to a particular dialect but is imposed by the entity that gives people their emotions, thoughts, words, and actions. This entity makes the image of the beast come alive to speak and live through people everywhere, making them think, speak and act in harmony. People conform to this language and culture as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by their words and deeds. “All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Revelation 13:8 The “him” in this verse refers to the beast that is associated with the image and mark of the beast.

Baking of the human spirit to harden against Jesus Christ. “Then they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.” Genesis 11:3

The builders of the Tower of Babel chose brick, an inferior material, instead of stone, which was more commonly used and preferred for construction in those times. Bricks were artificial products made of clay that was hardened by fire, while stone was a natural material that had superior strength and durability. Unlike stone, brick is susceptible to rotting and decay over time. For instance, the majestic pyramids were made of stone, not bricks, and so were the famous buildings and roads of the Roman Empire. Brick is a product of human effort whereas stone is not.

Jesus Christ is the chief cornerstone, not the chief corner brick. We, as his followers, “…are built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief cornerstone. In Him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a Holy temple in the Lord. And in Him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.” Ephesians 2:20-22

Instead of stone, the global government is using bricks to construct their universal culture. The phrase “to make bricks and bake them thoroughly” means to mold human beings to fit the goals of the global government of the beast. They want to create a global culture by hardening the human spirit against Jesus Christ. They do this by replacing the human conscience with an entity that gives people their feelings, thoughts, words, and actions. People become the bricks to build the global culture. In other words, the conscience is baked or seared by a hot iron, making people turn away from God and listen to deceiving spirits and doctrines. “Now the Spirit explicitly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron…” 1 Timothy 4:1-2

Asphalt is a black and sticky substance that hardens when it cools. The phrase, ‘They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.’ describes how asphalt was used to bind the bricks together. Spiritually, it implies that the global culture is built with spiritually hardened human beings as bricks and the asphalt of spiritual corruption as mortar.

We can interpret the black asphalt bonding the global culture as representing the “666”. Think of the “666” as the global culture’s rejection of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. The first “6” represents the denial of God as the Creator, the second “6” represents the rejection of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and the third “6” represents the mockery of the Holy Spirit. The black asphalt that connects people in every city in the world reflects their common disregard for the divine Trinity. That is what binds them together under the direction of the entity giving them what to feel, think, say, and do.

The image displays a dark substance, resembling asphalt, that binds the bricks. Each brick represents a member of the global culture, and the blackness is the “666” that binds them as one people.

Building the global government on hardened souls. “And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:4

The United Nations was founded in 1945 right after WW2 as they were saying, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens…” Their ultimate goal is to create a one world government through the United Nations, as they claim, “…let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth…” This statement reflects the exact objectives of the United Nations.

The establishment of the United Nations, which brought the global government of the beast, is precisely described in Daniel 8. The formation of the beast’s global government is also depicted in Revelation 17.

Global government establishes itself as God. “But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” Genesis 11:5-6

The global government and its culture are proud of their achievements, as if they fulfilled the prophecy: “…now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” They challenge anyone who opposes them, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” Revelation 13:4 They act according to their will, as it is written, “And he was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies, and he was given authority to continue for forty-two months. Then he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme His name, His tabernacle, and those who dwell in heaven. It was granted to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them. And authority was given him over every tribe, tongue, and nation.” Revelation 13:5-7

The prophecy in the phrase, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language…” has been fulfilled by the verse, “…who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4 The temple of God is the human body. There is an entity giving people their thoughts, feelings, actions, and words, and this entity resides in their bodies as God and claims to be God. Thus, the global culture is a unified force in every city around the world and speaks one language, which is the language of the entity within their thoughts and feelings.

Power center of the beast is destroyed. “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.” Genesis 11:7-8

The “Us” in the verse is God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

The global culture is unified by the power center of the beast. This power center is destroyed in the Fifth Plague, as it is written: “Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.” Revelation 16:10 The pain makes them gnaw their tongues, which is enough to “…confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Without the power center of the beast, the entity that gives people their thoughts, words, actions, and feelings will stop functioning. The image of the beast will no longer be functioning to live and speak through people. The global culture will be plagued by confusion, because they will lose their uncanny knowledge, heightened intuition, and profound unity. They will not be able to communicate with each other across the globe in perfect harmony.

A one world government under the United Nations is the global reality until the world system ends. Their activities will only cease on the Day of the Lord.

The beast’s global government will be scattered and eventually face its doom on the Day of the Lord. “So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they ceased building the city.” The beast’s power center will be destroyed in the Fifth Plague, but the global culture will still have plenty of time on this earth in their bewilderment and scattering. After the global government is rendered powerless they will have to endure the Sixth Plague, which involves the Battle of Armageddon. Then, the Seventh Plague comes and will devastate the earth and its people.

Global warming is instrumental in bringing the ruin of the power center of the beast, which is the Fourth Plague. “Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and power was given to him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and they blasphemed the name of God who has power over these plagues; and they did not repent and give Him glory.” Revelation 16:8-9

Babylon the great is fallen. “Therefore its name is called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.” Genesis 11:9

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal.”

“Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.”

Revelation 18:2, 4-5

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’
I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25
