Mankind Rejected Yahweh's Way

As Adam and Eve fell into sin, so also all of mankind became deceived. In the later history of the people, we find that Nimrod established a form of government, influenced by Satan, which was against Yahweh's government.

Genesis 10:8-10—
8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
9 He was a tyrant who deceived, who turned against Yahweh; therefore it is said: Like Nimrod the tyrant who deceived, who turned against Yahweh.
10 And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and all of them in the land of Shinar; that is, Babylon.

Babylon means confusion. Nimrod's form of government prevails in all nations today. Nimrod's policy of government is spoken of in Scripture as a tower.

Genesis 11:4-5—
4 And they said; Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower, whose top is in the heavens. Let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.
5 But Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

The word translated tower in this Scripture is word #4026, from #1431, in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary and means a rostrum; pulpit, advance, boast, magnify, promote, proudly [spoken], lift up.

This tower is a rostrum for a political purpose. It is a pulpit for a religious purpose. It is proud, boasting, magnifying, promoting, and proudly speaking against the way of Yahweh. This form of government, promoted by Nimrod according to history, consisted of religion and politics combined. This was a government against Yahweh. This was a government of the people, by the people and influenced by Satan.

In effect, Nimrod said to the people: "Let us combine our forces and become great so no one will be able to attack us. Let us construct weapons mightier than anyone else. Let us build a stronger army than anyone else's and then we will have peace."

It was in Nimrod's plans to boastfully and proudly magnify his own government; to promote his government against Yahweh.

However, as you may read for yourself in Genesis 11:7-8, Yahweh confounded their language and scattered the people abroad so they could not build this "tower." In effect, Yahweh's set mankind's technological advancement back at that time, in order to keep mankind from destroying himself before Yahweh's plan for man could be completed.

Yahweh's act of scattering man throughout the earth slowed mankind's destructive process so Yahweh's 6,000 year process of building His family could take place.
