Understanding our Times

My previous post, Understanding God, seemed to get many views in a short time. I believe it speaks to the hunger that people have today to know God in the light of His word and not popular, politically correct notions. The God of popular culture churches is NOT the God of scripture. The popular church is a friend of the world and John said that those who love the world do NOT love God. It behooves us to understand the times we live in.

I've referred to this before but it bears repeating. I believe we are living in the Age of Babylon revisited. History is repeating itself. It does not repeat itself in a continuous timeline as we often think of the passage of time. Rather history has been descending in reverse from the time of Christ until time will be no more.

We are currently living in the age of Babylon. This current age parallels the time of Nimrod by two distinct features;

1.Technology. Fired bricks to build the tower of Babel was a huge leap forward in technology. Nimrod was attempting to literally build a tower to reach the heavens. I viewed a video wherein an MIT professor duplicated the fired bricks of Babylon and estimated that with a large enough base Nimrod could have built a tower 10,000 feet high. Technology in the last 100 years has advanced so rapidly that man does not have time to adjust to these new inventions. The technology is outpacing mans ability to adapt. Prior to the 20th century any new invention that changed the way people lived would occur every 200 years or so. That means people had 200 years to adapt to this life changing invention. Not any more. We cannot adapt. Look at what has happened to an entire generation of millennials who are hypnotized by their phones, unable to communicate with people around them and completely oblivious to the world outside of their technology.

2. The other distinct characteristic of the age of Babylon today is ethnic neutrality. Pay attention to advertising in particular and you will notice more and more people who are ethnically unidentifiable. Nimrod was determined to create a unified people all with one language and no distinct ethnicity in an attempt to overthrow the throne of God. This same mentality exists today. Globalism is a rebirth of Nimrods ethnic neutral world. This angered God who had determined the people groups of the earth are to be distinct and separate as defined in the table of nations in Genesis 10;

By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.v. 5,These are the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, and in their nations.
V.20, These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their nations: and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood.v. 32

Three times we see in Genesis 10 God declaring these ethnic groups are to be separate and distinct. When Nimrod rebelled against Gods will in Genesis 11 God scattered the people and confused there language.

So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. 9Therefore 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.

Language alone is divine evidence that God's will is for ethnic groups of the world to maintain their distinctiveness.

Globalism seeks to destroy this God ordained social order. We are in the age of Babylon and the next age to come is the age of Noah. Jesus said that as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man. Its best to read all of Matthew 24 to get the context of the days of Noah. We are fast approaching the tribulation and you better get ready Christian. Turn off that main stream media. Shun the influences of popular culture. You better tune out the Godless influences around you and get tuned into God almighty. Seek His face. Ask God to put a passion in your heart to seek Him and know Him more clearly. Great deception is in the air and permeating churches world wide. Jesus said it would be this way. Seek the Lord while He may be found because the day comes when no man can seek Him.
