Throughout all generations, egocentric men have aspired to exalt themselves, consolidate power, and enslave the common people. With ambitious visions of changing the shape of things to come, they labor arduously to establish a collective society.

It is true of Nimrod, Nebuchadnezzar, Alexander the Great, Caesar, and all the other rulers, past to present, who had ambitions to conquer and control all within their power. It is also true of the globalist elites today who seek to engineer a world civilization.

Ancient accounts of Babel create a picture of the original world order. All the people of the earth were of one language and one mind, acting as one under the concept of man replacing God. Every kingdom, empire, and nation that came seeking dominion over all civilization has been driven by the same spirit.

It is no different today. International power brokers work to establish a strictly managed global society under strict laws to be imposed upon everyone on earth except themselves.

In essence, since the beginning, the innate nature of mankind has never changed, nor do the ever-present spiritual forces that drive and possess men. The same demons from the first generation pass to the next as each generation passes. Thus, history will always repeat regardless of any new facade it presents that makes it appear different.

Among the subservient classes, from past to present, the same fears, insecurities, and desires continue to prevail. The subservient class’s inhibitions of insecurity move them to submit to an authoritarian that promises security.

Although work on the first tower at Babel ceased, the quest for a totalitarian world will continue until the destruction of the “final tower” that ends 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.”

The Tower of Babel is the prototype of tyranny for those who come afterward, some even claiming their authority in the name of God. History serves as a witness to the temporal nature of all worldly powers where corrupt rulers fill any void created by the absence of God. When the fullness of time comes, the absolute ruin of that society or civilization follows.

In a relatively short time after the collapse and destruction, history is forgotten or disregarded by the generation that follows, and the process of the resurrection begins anew with different faces. As it has been, so it is.
