Silence speaks louder than words

It is always interesting to listen to the stories told. Our lives, our history – it’s all one story after the other, interlinked and interconnected with each other. Even based on real events, the same story can be told very differently. This is so well known and widely accepted that for every trial we are commanded to have at least 2 witnesses of good character, unrelated, without any interest, who need to observe the fact from different vantage points.

Imagine how much more complicated the situation becomes once we are talking about something that has happened over 4,000 years ago. One of these stories is the story of the building of the Tower of Babel. What further information can be derived from the stories written? Can we connect them together? And if so, what lessons can we learn from it?

Let me be honest here, it was always clear to me that the saying “There is nothing new under the sun” was always one of the reasons for my fascination with the Biblical stories. While sitting at home due to lockdowns, it dawned on me that the story of the tower of Babel is too close to the globalist unelected bureaucracy – same slogans of the climate emergency (reminding me of a child’s fairytale about chicken little and the sky is falling), same denial of the Divine and perversion of justice.

Let us look into the points raised here and address further findings in our next blog. Starting with the climate emergency point. We are learning that people of the tower generation were reassured that the great flood would not happen to that extent, and they received the rainbow as a sign and reassurance. Instead of embracing it, they started to doubt it. We should know the difference between the promises made, and it is only natural to doubt any human-made promise.

After all, we as normal people rarely have complete knowledge of anything. This is driven by many factors, and even if we take the advance of scientific knowledge impact, we know that our perception of any event is driven by our previous experiences, our prejudices, our ability to see the event, our interpretation of it, and much more. The knowledge of that sort is clear to us throughout the generation.

However, when the promise is made by the Divine, it should not be doubted. It probably did not start out as a full-blown doubt, but maybe some “scientist” of that time saw the rain and began to ask themselves about the danger of it? Maybe that scientist was just thinking about improving the waterproofing, or better drains, or something innocent, but once the doubt was there, it became a problem.

It is very clear that people like Nimrod would use it to push their own agenda. Maybe they even told “their truth” like not everyone will die, but how many are going to be safe? Are you safe? And what about your household? Your home? Your family? Once the doubt is in place, panic can be easily generated. And just like that, Nimrod’s agenda can become a “solution”.

This vision was and still is adopted by many international organisations. Make no mistake, floods are real, and they are endangering human lives. Therefore, research needs to continue, and as a result, the information needs to be gathered in a rational manner. Especially important to realise that any flood will not become anything even close to the destruction of Noah’s generation.

Now we need to remember that rational was not a part of Nimrod’s dictionary. He saw an opportunity and grabbed it. Just a bit more convincing, so maybe Nimrod told the people a story like a famous Hollywood production of say 2012? What about, say, a famous theatrical adaptation of it? That would help, don’t you think? We know how it worked on us – we all talked about the movie as it made us feel uneasy. Well, one way or another, the people of that time got hung up on the idea of fixing the problem. Not acknowledging and preparing for the disaster, like forecasts, evacuation plans, shelters, food supplies – but trying to fix it, to pretty much command the rainfall.

Furthermore, the people of the generation decided to gather in the valley. As we know, a valley is a low-lying area of the land surrounded by hills or even mountains. Given a choice of where to build the high tower, would you not use already created higher grounds? The decision to use the valley part shows the people rejecting the gift of the Creator. The people even chose to make their own bricks, although there were stones.

However, the cherry on the top was the idea of preservation of human lives, while the very process of building the tower actually was costing a number of lives lost, which was taken as the sacrifice required for the project of that magnitude. This all amounted to the injustice of biblical proportions.

There is much more to discuss and learn about the story, including the power of the rainfalls, so let us continue to learn together.
