Summary

God’s end time program for Babylon has its roots in the historical account of the Tower of Babel. Genesis chapters 10-11 records humanity’s first worldwide rebellion against God. Here, we learn of mankind’s rebellion against God’s command to scatter throughout the face of the earth following the flood (Gen 9:1, 7). Under the leadership of Nimrod (Gen 10:8–12), mankind instead gathered in the land of Shinar (Gen 11:2) for the purpose of building a city and tower to reach into heaven (Gen 11:4). God’s response to this collective rebellion was swift and decisive. According to Gen 11:5-9, God frustrated this worldwide apostasy by confounding human language thus inhibiting the builders from communicating with one another. God’s plan will be accomplished, if not with man’s obedience, then in spite of man’s disobedience.

Sahne Rolle Rückwärts - Für eine offene, diverse und wertschätzende Gesellschaft Theaterwerkstatt Bethel Wir sind Antonia, Christin und Ferdinand von be able und Matthias, Mitja und Nici von der Theaterwerkstatt Bethel. Seit 2021 stehen wir in einem regen kollegialen Austausch. Nun machen wir uns auf die Suche nach anderen Initiativen, Aktivist:innen und Selbstvertreter:innen, die genauso unermüdlich für ein zukunftsorientiertes, wertschätzendes Zusammenleben eintreten. Mit ihnen sprechen wir über Musik als Lebensmittel, ehrliche, aufrichtige Beziehungen, Selbst- und Fürsorge, Wandelmut, radikale Empathie, soziale Nachhaltigkeit und über Zusammenhalt. Bethel Baptist Chapel Billinghay James Mansfield SermonAudio has given our fellowship another dimension in that although we are only a small church on the Lincolnshire Fens we now know that we have active fellowship with brethren and sisters across the world. Feedback is a great means of fellowship and encouragement. I calculate that at present people listening too our sermons mean that in effect we have an additional 40 people in our congregation.
