A noteworthy characteristic of the
end time technology god is that it springs from a Tower of Babel mindset or
endeavor. As the age nears to
drawing to a close we are seeing once again the building of a Tower of Babel
the in the area of technology.
The Tower of Babel account in Genesis 11:1-9 begins by
stating, “Now the whole earth had one language and one speech.”
It continues:
4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower
whose topisin the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be
scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”
5 But theLordcame down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had
built.6 And theLordsaid, “Indeed the peopleare one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to
do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.7
Come, let Us go down and there
confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.”8 So theLordscattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth,
and they ceased building the city.9 Therefore its name is called Babel, because there theLordconfused the language of all the earth; and from there theLordscattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.
The intention of the builders of the city was to make
a tower so tall that the top of the tower would reach heaven and the abode of
God. They would then make a name for themselves.
The Bible states in verse 5, “Indeed the people are
one and they all have one language, and this is that they begin to do; now
nothing that they propose to do will be withheld unto them.”
When the people were united, one of their first attempts
was to be on par with God, and God knew that they would not accomplish this
feat by building this tower because they could only build so far up into the
sky. But it was the idea that being on par with God was their intention. They
were looking to become great and for notoriety for themselves. How much better than to mimic God Himself.
God confused their language and scattered them and by
doing so we had the division of nations identified by their languages and
culture. Empires might take over some of
those nations and absorb their language and culture, but overall there remained
division of peoples.
At the time of Babel the Bible tells us:
“Now the whole earth had one language and one
speech.”
The industrial
age began in 1760, followed by the machine age of 1880, which was trailed by
the information age, which soured by 1990 onward. And this has brought us to
the time of the end described in Daniel 12:4, which states, “But you,
Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many
shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
Along with increased knowledge and high speed travel,
an interesting development occurred, the barriers that God created- we see in
retrospect -were only temporary because we have again arrived at a time when
the people are close to being one as at the time of Babel.
As
industry and technology caused the world economie’s to become interdependent,
world problems became global in nature. This caused world leaders to unite to
solve them and form global institutions to deal with the tasks.
Thus a byproduct of the machine and technological age
were world institutions, interconnected economies and even the language barrier
came down with translation of languages occurring at the push of a button for
anything you might read on the internet. As industry and technology accelerated
so did the means to teach and translate languages. Technology allowed languages
to be taught easily so that one person can learn several.
The languages and nations that God established to prevent a Tower of Babel in
these end times have been eradicated via technology and the nation state has
eroded through globalization.
In
this globalized world the EU formed along with many regional groupings,
dividing our giant world like a pie and helping it unify so that groups like
the one that appeared at Babel would emerge to make a name for themselves.
From these sprang the
international scientific projects such as the human genome project or the brain
initiatives in an effort to research and eradicate disease.
These
scientists are determined to crack the code of life and learn how the brain works to mimic it in the
most ungodly of ways such as uploading
one’s memories to a computer. Futurist Jason
Sosa stated, we will “be able to delete memories and upload new ones.”
Scientists are also aiming to perfect on God’s creation with superhuman skin,
hearing and vision.
It goes beyond just helping
to improve lives but has ventured into other fields and is now a Tower of Babel
as man attempts to improve on God’s creation and even create a new living race.
There are even experiments to create motherless babies. It does not stop here
as man is also as was in the actual time of Babel attempting to reach into the
heavens.

I have a small request. Many read my website and the
information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles
are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally
pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without
millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get.
Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the
hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge
fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to
all. So I am requesting your help.
