Babel towerFrom: UCJ CommentsBABEL TOWER
1. (The habitations of the earth after the flood) The habitations of the earth are Noah and his seed, one of his sons called Ham, and the sons of Ham are, Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan, Genesis 10:6. 2. (From the seed of Cush is Nimrod (means Nimrud) in Arabic language means rebellious) And Cush begot Nimrod: he began to a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord: Here fore it said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the Lord. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar. Out of that land gone forth Asshur, and built Nineveh, and the city Rehoboth, and Calah. And Resren between Nineveh and Calah: the same is a great city. And Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim. And Pathrusim, and Caluhim, out of who came Philistim, and Caphtorim. And Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth. Etc.… Genesis 8 to 15. Note The names of Noah's seed are the same name of the cities and the countries of the Middle East, as the Philistim, the Palestine or Philistine, the Arabian country near Jerusalem. Canaan is the Canaanites that start from Israel to the mountains of Lebanon, and Sidon is a village in Lebanon. 3. (The tower of Babel) And the whole earth was of one language, and of 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. And they said one to another, Go to let us make brick, and burn them through. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar. And they said go to let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven: and let us make us name, last we be scattered aboard upon the face of the whole earth. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men build. And the Lord said, behold, the people are one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrain from them, which they have imagined to do. 4. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one anther's speech. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city. Therefore is the name of it call Babel: because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the lord scatter them abroad upon the earth of all the earth, Genesis 11: 1 to 9. 5. Note, (information about the tower of Babel) (This information is from Smith bible Dictionary) is not from the Bible,) The tower of Babel mentioned one time in the book of Genesis 11: 4 to 5, and then as incomplete. It was build of bricks and slimes used for mortar it was probably bitumen. Such authorities as we posses represent the building as destroyed soon after its erection when the Jews, however, were carry captive into Babylonia, they thought they recognized it in the famous temple of Belus, the modern Birs-Nimrud. But the Birs-Nimrud as (Nimrod) thought it cannot be the tower of Babel itself, may well be taken to show the probable shape and character of the edifice. This building appears to have been a rather oblique pyramid build in seven receding stages, each successive one being nearer to the south western end, which constituted the back of the building. The first, second and third stories were 26 feet high each, the remaining four being 15 feet high. On the seventh stage there was probably placed the ark or the tabernacle, which seems to have been again 15 feet high, and must have nearly, if not entirely, covered the top of the seventh story. The entire original height, allowing three feet for the platform, would have been 150 feet, or, without the platform, 153 feet. And Gog and Magog mentioned in the book of Genesis 10: 2 to 14, Magog is the grand son of Noah, and from the seed of this grand son was Meshech and Tubal and Nimrod means rebellious, This word in Arabic language means rebellion. And his kingdom is Babel, as the Bible tells us that this kingdom rebelled against God and his people. From the generation of Nimrod, and the seeds of Nimrod are, Mizraim begot Ludim, and Anamim, and Lehabim, and Naphtuhim, and Pathrusim, and Caluhim, {out of who came Philistine} which are the Arabs. It is possible that where is the first man that started this world is Adam, in the Garden of Eden, in the land of Turkey, means Meshech and Tubal. Also a man shall rise at the end of the days from the same land to end this world, as the prophet Ezekiel mentioned in 39: 1 to 4, and in Revelation 20; 7 to 9, And in Second Thessalonians 2: 1 to 8. 6. (Note, Some information about Babylon) (The topography of Babylon is a description of a city, or any city that full with a wickedness, and ruled by a wicked king or president. The ancients’ writers and historians, even the Prophets that are mention in the Bible, agreed to give this kind of descriptions about any wicked city. Since the beginning, of the tower of Babel, that is in the book Genesis, the first book of the Bible, the tower of Babel is the first wicked thing that was name Babel after the flood of Noah. Since then every wicked city named by Babylon, and Babylonians are the inhabitants of Babylon, a race of Shemitic origin, who were among the colonists planted in Cities of Samaria by the conquering Assyrians. The word Babylon, is the Greek form of Babel, or the city of Babel, back to the ancient time as it is mention in the book of Genesis of the bible, Babel is the capital city of Shiner. In genesis 11: 4 to 5 is the tower of Babel, and the represents the beginning of the kingdom of Nimrod is mention in the book of Genesis 10:6 to 10. The early annals of Babylon are full by Bourses, the native historian, with three dynasties' one of 49 Chaldean kings, who reigned 458 years; another of 9 Arab kings, who reigned 245 years; and the third 49 Assyrian monarchs, who held dominion for 526 years. The line of Babylonian kings known to us before Christ 747. “The Canon of Ptolemy” gives us the succession of Babylonian Monarachs from before Christ 747 and it lasts for 461 years when the last Persian king was dethrone by Alexander. On the fall of Nineveh, before Christ 625, Babylon became not only an independent kingdom, but also an empire. The city was taken by surprise in 530 before Christ the prophet Jeremiah had prophesied, in the book of Jeremiah 51: 31, by Cyrus, under Darius, by the prophet Daniel In the book of Daniel chapter 5. As intimated 170 years earlier by the prophet Isaiah, in the book of Isaiah 21: 1 to 10. And as Jeremiah had fore shown, in the book of Jeremiah 51: 39, during a festival. With the conquest of Commenced the decay of Babylon, which has since been a quarry from which all the tribes in the vicinity have derived the bricks with which they have built their cities. The great city has become heaps. As the prophet Jeremiah 51: 37 mentioned. Also in the book of revelation tells us that the great city in the last days when the seventh angel pours the seventh vial, the great city divided into 3 parts by the earthquake, and great Babylon came in remembrance before God. This proved to us that the word Babylon used as a symbolic meaning, when he said Great Babylon came in remembrance. When he saw the great city divided in three parts, he remembers Babylon, since then all writers named any wicked city with the name of Babylon. So the tower of Babel is not the same as the Great City Babylon.
