Throughout history, egocentric men have aspired to seize control, consolidate power, and enslave people—believing they could manipulate the shape of things to come by a controlled collective. This ambition always comes at the expense of those who oppose their vision.

The truth of such ambition becomes apparent in looking as far back as the historical record takes us. It is true of Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Caesar, and other rulers in the past with ambitions to conquer the world, as it is true of Hitler and others in more recent times. It is also true of the global elitists today who seek to engineer and rule over a world civilization.

Ancient accounts cite Babel as the original world order; all the people of the earth were acting as one, gathered in one place. The accounts given about Babel and the concept of man replacing God, or acting under the authority of the gods, are consistent with every kingdom, empire, and nation that came after seeking dominion over all civilization.

And not only so, but the totalitarian aspirations attributed to the first world order at Babel, as well as those that followed afterward, are no different than the aspirations of the international power brokers today, who also seek to establish a strictly managed global society imposed upon every human on earth except themselves.

Therefore, in essence, the innate nature of mankind has never changed. Neither do the ever-present spiritual forces that drive and possess men. The same demons remain from one generation to the next throughout all generations as each generation passes. Thus, history will repeat itself regardless of any new facade it presents.

Likewise, among the subservient classes from the past to the present, the same fears, insecurities, and desires continue to prevail. These inhibitions of insecurity move the servant class to seek and submit themselves to a controlling authoritarian.

Indeed, although work on the first tower at Babel ceased, the quest for a totalitarian world continues until the destruction of the “final tower” at the end of man’s 6,000-year dominion on earth at the coming of Jesus Christ.

In book 1, chapter 4, of Antiquities of the Jews, Jewish historian Flavius Josephus provides an account of the collectivist kingdom at Babel ruled over by Nimrod.

Josephus wrote:

“Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded [the people] not to ascribe it to God as if it was through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his [government]… Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod, and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God.”

Thus, Babel became the template of tyranny for those who were to seek to rule the world afterward, many even claiming their authority in the name of God. History serves as a testament to the temporal nature of all worldly empires; it is inevitable that corrupt rulers will fill any void created by the absence of God. When the fullness of time comes, the absolute ruin of that society or civilization follows.

Nonetheless, over time, history is forgotten or disregarded by the generations that follow; the process of the resurrection-death loop begins anew with a different face. And so it is always.
