The post Tower of Babel appeared first on New City Church.

“Translation — it's listening and understanding. It's trying to understand each other, trying to find some common ground, but understanding that there is a gap and that's okay, because we're all different.”  There's this really good book about a kid in England who gets into an elite school to learn the magic that can literally change the world. There's friendship, betrayal, enchanted objects, and the fate of the world hanging in the balance. But we're not talking about Hogwarts - this is Oxford.  Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence by R.F. Kuang — might just be the most important story you'll read this year.  It's what happens when a coming-of-age fantasy grows up — when instead of asking who gets to wield magic, it asks who built it, who profits from it, and who gets burned by it. By page 100, you'll start to hear the opening lines of Rage Against the Machine. It's Harry Potter meets Uncle Tom's Cabin, and so much more.  Joining is longtime FrieMMd of the pod, and comic-book partner-in-crime Paresh Jha.  LEARN MORE: BABEL (RF Kuang): goodreads.com/book/show/57945316-babel ARTICLE (New Yorker): The Otherworldly Ambitions of R.

Por esas cosas de la vida, hoy tenemos nada menos que a dos Premios Nacionales en La Torre de Babel. Esta mañana conocíamos que Paco Cerdá era el nuevo Premio Nacional de Narrativa con "Presentes", una novela sobre la que hablamos en el programa hace ahora unos meses. ¿Cómo no recuperar parte de esa conversación? Y digo parte porque hoy habíamos invitado a Miriam Reyes, Premio Nacional de Poesía de este año que presenta esta tarde en Zaragoza,, su primera novela.Miriam explora nuevos caminos literarios y debuta en la novela con “La edad infinita”, una historia en la que reconstruye el exilio de una niña de ocho años que desde Galicia parte hacia Venezuela. El desconcierto, el miedo, el dolor, el sentirse arrancada de un entorno seguro para empezar de cero, sin referentes en el otro extremo del mundo, se narra con la crudeza de esos ojos que ven pasar los años en un mundo hostil pero que con los años se convierte en una suerte de paraíso soñado. La fórmula, la voz literaria que Miriam elige para contar esta historia es clave en una novela interesantísima.

The conversation covers the positive and negative interpretations of nationalism, the historical impact of Christianity on nations, and the importance of national identity and pride for individual wellbeing.Get answers to:Are nations divinely instituted and if so, why?Why are global powers trying to remove nations and create open borders?How does a healthy sense of nationalism have a positive effect on wellbeing?They explore biblical references regarding nations, such as the Tower of Babel and God's covenant with Abraham, and more. The hosts discuss globalism and political agendas that pose a threat to national sovereignty and cultural identity. They discuss God's heart for creating great nations that reflect His glory.

This month, we're leaning into the cozy chaos of autumn with gothic reads, witchy retellings, and darkly enchanting novels that pair perfectly with a warm mug and candlelight. From the small-town secrets of Buckeye by Patrick Ryan to the spell-tinged retellings in Salt and Broom by Sharon Lynn Fisher, this episode of Reeding Between the Lines unpacks the books that carried us through September — and the ones casting a spell over our October TBR.We talk about The First Witch of Boston by Andrea Catalano, a chilling reimagining of the first woman executed for witchcraft in Massachusetts, and A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney, a lush, atmospheric love letter to anyone who keeps a little bit of witch in their heart all year long. We also revisit The Square of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson — an 18th-century mystery perfect for fans of Dickens — and Babel by R.F. Kuang, a dark academia masterpiece that asks how far you'll go for knowledge and power.

Aujourd'hui, je reçois Mourad Merzouki.Mourad a posé les valises de la compagnie Käfig au cœur du célèbre magasin parisien Le Bon Marché, avec une création inédite : Babel, à découvrir jusqu'au 31 décembre.Depuis une tour de Babel revisitée, suspendue à plus de 11 mètres du sol, danseurs et circassiens s'élèvent et évoluent dans une course poétique et vertigineuse.Pour en parler, Mourad a invité, dans la deuxième partie de cette conversation, Sofian Kaddaoui et Titouan Wiener, deux des dix artistes de la distribution de Babel.On les écoute avec joie.

Four fault lines run through the U.N. story: centralized power, moral inversion, cultural engineering, and chronic failure on justice. This conversation contrasts a pro-liberty stand with decades of globalist overreach—from UNFPA and UNICEF agendas to the ICC and Arms Trade Treaty. Will Christians push back before one-world rule hardens?

Today, again, we will spend time in worship. Simply focusing on God and His character. So, invite His Holy Spirit to pour over You with His presence. Listen intently as we experience His Word together.From Psalm 33 The MessageGood people, cheer God! Right-living people sound best when praising.Use guitars to reinforce your Hallelujahs! Play his praise on a grand piano!Invent your own new song to him; give him a trumpet fanfare.For God's Word is solid to the core; everything he makes is sound inside and out.He loves it when everything fits, when his world is in plumb-line true.Earth is drenched in God's affectionate satisfaction.… bow before God; … down on your knees!Here's why: he spoke and there it was, in place the moment he said so.God takes the wind out of Babel pretense, he shoots down the world's power-schemes.God's plan for the world stands up, all his designs are made to last.Blessed is the country with God for God; blessed are the people he's put in his will.He has shaped each person in turn; now he watches everything we do.No king succeeds with a big army alone, no warrior wins by brute strength.Horsepower is not the answer; no one gets by on muscle alone.Watch this: God's eye is on those who respect him, the ones who are looking for his love.He's ready to come to their rescue in bad times; in lean times he keeps body and soul together.We're depending on God; he's everything we need.What's more, our hearts brim with joy since we've taken for our own his holy name.Love us, God, with all you've got—that's what we're depending on.Can you add your personal thoughts of worship to these words from david?What about God are you in awe of?How has God rescued you?Will you praise and worship him for the personal way He has shown up recently?Let's personalize the last lines of Psalm 33:I'm depending on You, God; You are everything I need.What's more, my heart brims with joy since I've taken for my own Your holy name.Love me, God, with all you've got—that's what I'm depending on.Pray with me: “Heavenly Father, Thank You that I don't have to worship, but I get to worship. You are a Gentleman who never forces His way, yet loves in such a powerful way that invites a response of gratitude. Thank You for loving me with all You've got. As above, so below.”

Pastor KJay's message, “United We Stand,” reminded us that Heaven moves when God's people come together — not by our own plans, but under His purpose.

A compelling wrap-up to our “All for One & One for All” series on unity: from Babel's warning about being unified around the wrong goals to the church's call to God-honoring togetherness. When a body is truly unified, we gain a sharpened focus on the Great Commission (2 Tim 2), an enhanced vision for next steps (Acts 18), fruitful and relevant ministry, and real growth in maturity (Eph 4). The message ends with a corporate call to prayer—asking God to deepen our unity and protect us from division.

After massive hits like The Poppy War, Babel and Yellowface, R.F. Kuang's new novel takes readers to hell — quite literally. Katabasis follows two grad students who venture through the underworld to save their professor's soul, and R.F. Kuang's own experience as a PhD student, high school debater and talented chef all factor into the book. At a special on-stage event in Toronto, joined by around a thousand of her fans, R.F. told Mattea Roach all about Katabasis … and dove into her own life and inspirations along the way.

Drawn from the biblical story in the book of Genesis, “Babel” has come to stand for the challenge of communication across linguistic, cultural, and ideological divides—the confusion and fragmentation that arise when we no longer share a common tongue or understanding. Today's guest John Wihbey,  an associate professor of media Innovation at Northeastern University and the author of a new book titled Governing Babel: The Debate Over Social Media Platforms and Free Speech—And What Comes Next that tries to find an answer to how we can create the space to imagine a different information environment that promotes democracy and consensus rather than division and violence. The book is out October 7 from MIT Press.

This week on Star Trek: The Western, we cover Past Prologue, A Man Alone, Babel, and Captive Pursuit

#180 - Have you ever wondered what happens when a deep love for Ireland, masterful storytelling, and biblical foundations merge? That's exactly what unfolds in this captivating conversation with John Leonard, the creative mind behind the Wayfinder series – a fantasy adventure saga that bridges ancient myths with biblical narratives.Growing up in rural Colorado as the eldest of four siblings, John shares how his close relationship with his brother shaped his early years through sports and friendly competition. His journey took a fascinating turn in college when he discovered rugby, serving as team captain for four years at Colorado Mesa University. This passion later connected him deeply to Irish culture when he seized an opportunity to study abroad in Belfast.John's eight-mile walk from Dublin to the Neolithic site of Newgrange became a transformative experience, allowing him to absorb Ireland's countryside in a way impossible from behind a car window. "Walking that road was just something else," he recalls, describing how the sideways rain, winding paths, and ancient hamlets with thatched roofs transported him through time. His vivid descriptions of Irish pub culture – where storytellers gather, musicians spontaneously form bands, and strangers share life stories over shared drinks – reveal how deeply Ireland's storytelling tradition influenced his own writing.The heart of our conversation explores John's Wayfinder series, particularly his first book "Dawn of Destiny." This unique fantasy saga fills the narrative gap between the Tower of Babel and Abraham's story in Genesis, weaving together Mesopotamian, Akkadian, Egyptian, and other Bronze Age cultural myths into a cohesive narrative that respects biblical accounts. Using the rabbinical teaching method of Pardes, John creates stories with multiple levels of meaning – from surface-level adventure to deeper theological symbolism.Whether you're fascinated by ancient mythology, interested in creative approaches to biblical narratives, or simply love a good conversation about the writing journey, John's story will inspire you to see adventure as more than just reaching a destination. As he beautifully puts it: "The adventure is the journey in between...the relationships, the foundational aspects that form who you are along that journey."

A late-night jab reignites a bigger debate: Who polices speech in America? This episode traces the line between sins and crimes, argues against government licensing of media, and defends freedom of conscience under the First Amendment. We contrast "strongman" instincts with a biblical model that honors authority, rejects vengeance, and fights bad ideas with better ones—through open debate, market pressure, and the light of God's Word. From David, Nathan, and Shimei to today's media oligarchs and the internet's "Babel effect," the case is made for liberty over tyranny and persuasion over censorship.

WE ARE BACK!!!!!!!!In this banger of a conversation, Ryley and Doc Brown delve into the profound themes surrounding the Tower of Babel, exploring its implications in biblical history and its relevance today. They discuss Nimrod's legacy, the concept of principalities, and the significance of Pentecost as a reversal of Babel's division. The dialogue emphasizes the ongoing spiritual battle for dominion and God's overarching plan for redemption, highlighting the importance of understanding scripture in its historical and cultural context.If you want more of Doc Brown you can find him at : https://prometheuslenspodcast.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaYBz2JPlrQaE9QHjl2WT4e5jDUPBK_BRZgmbgfBvFC5O5nteEXaEE3zF0k_aem_jusNaZLDj1Z9Xp1lspMYsAMy Links:Youtube: https://youtube.com/@midwestmythospodcast?si=f5qXsiJuuWv4-hqEIf you would like to be a guest on the show contact me on the submission form at: linktr.ee/midwestmythospodcast or contact me on Instagram @midwestmythosThank you for all the support!

In this episode, we talk about how God is at work in our lives even when sorrow feels overwhelming. This Jubilee year of hope is still a light for us, especially when we feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tempted to despair. We talk about the “fatigue of living”, what happens when we isolate ourselves, and why the micromovements of our hearts are so important. God has not guaranteed us an easy life, but He abundantly offers us Himself. With Him, we can encounter Jesus deeply, allow the Spirit to help us overcome our fears, and journey through this life with more hope than we thought possible.   Heather's One Thing - Join me on a pilgrimage to Denmark & Norway | August 3 - 12, 2026   Sister Miriam's One Thing - Into Your Hands, Father: Abandoning Ourselves to the God Who Loves Us by Father Wilfrid Stinissen Michelle's One Thing - I Will Come to You: A Story of Adoption and the Relentless Love of God by Jamie McAleer   Other Resources Mentioned:  Pope Leo XIV's Homily for Pentecost   Journal Questions: When did I last pour my heart out to the Lord? How have I been tempted to isolate myself? What distractions do I turn to in suffering? What heartbreaks have I been holding back from the Lord in prayer? Where am I feeling afraid?   Discussion Questions: Where in your life are you struggling to see the Lord? How has the Lord given you daily bread today? What lessons have you learned throughout the Jubilee Year of Hope? Where in your life are you waiting for a personal Pentecost? What resonated with you in Sister Miriam's prayer?   Quote to Ponder: “The Holy Spirit bestows understanding. The Spirit overcomes the ‘breach' that began in Babel, the confusion of mind and heart that sets us one against the other. The Spirit opens borders... The Church must always become anew what she already is. She must open the borders between peoples and break down the barriers between class and race. In her, there cannot be those who are neglected or disdained. In the Church there are only free men and women, brothers and sisters of Jesus Christ.” (Homily for Pentecost, 15 May 2005, Pope Benedict XVI)   Scripture for Lectio: “Daughter, your faith has saved you.

St. Luke 5:1-11. Drawing on St. Luke's account of Christ calling His disciples to become fishers of men, this homily explores why marriages and parishes often falter when built on human strength alone. Fr. Anthony reminds us that brokenness, poor models, and cultural confusion cannot be overcome by willpower or good intentions, but only through Christ and His Church. Just as the apostles' empty nets were filled at the Lord's command, so too our families and parishes flourish when rooted in His blessing and obedience. --- Homily: Why is it so hard to build a good marriage (and parish)? Saint Luke 5:1-11; Fishers of Men So it was, as the multitude pressed about Him to hear the word of God, that He stood by the Lake of Gennesaret, and saw two boats standing by the lake; but the fishermen had gone from them and were washing their nets. Then He got into one of the boats, which was Simon's, and asked him to put out a little from the land. And He sat down and taught the multitudes from the boat. When He had stopped speaking, He said to Simon, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.” But Simon answered and said to Him, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net.” And when they had done this, they caught a great number of fish, and their net was breaking. So they signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. When Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord!” For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish which they had taken; and so also were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men.” So when they had brought their boats to land, they forsook all and followed Him (St. Luke 5:1-11). Introduction: How Christ Builds the Church This is a beautiful story from the ministry of Jesus Christ. It comes on the heels of his Baptism, his temptation by the devil in the wilderness, and the beginning of his preaching ministry in the synagogues of Galilee. In this Gospel, Christ has started building something very special; something that would never fall; something that would bring healing to broken humanity; something through which He would change the world. He began building the Church. And He did it with simple fishermen on the side of a lake. Continuation: We are Building, too We are participating in this work as well. We want to build something that will never fail; something that will bring healing to broken people; something that will transform a troubled place. We are building a parish. Today's Gospel provides a wonderful lesson for us on this very thing. In his homily on today's Gospel, St. Nikolai Velimirovich writes; “Except the Lord build the house, all who labor labor in vain.” (Psalm 126:1) If the builders build in God's name, they will build a palace, even their hands are weak and their material poor. If, though, the builders build in their own name, in opposition to God, the work of their hands will be brought down as was the Tower of Babel. There is no power that can bring God's work to ruin. Pagan palaces and cities fall into ruin, but God's huts remain standing. That which God's finger upholds stands more firmly than that which [the mythical titan] Atlas supports on his back… May the almighty Lord preserve us from the thought that we can achieve any good without His help and His blessing… May today's Gospel serve as a warning that such vain thoughts must never be formulated our souls. It speaks of how all men's efforts are in vain if God does not help them. While Christ's apostle's were fishing as men, they caught nothing; but when Christ commanded them to cast their nets once more into the sea, they caught such a great haul of fish that their nets tore. Why would anyone think they can build something worthwhile without Christ? I don't know. It is futile. We know better. But we do it all the time. Understanding the Curse of Sin: the example of marriage Let's look at the example of marriage. It can be so hard to get it right, and there are just so many ways to get it wrong. Why is it so hard? It isn't because people aren't trying. In fact, they are trying all kinds of things… but they aren't working very well. At best, some couples might end up with a marriage that lasts, but marriage was not just meant to endure. It's not supposed to be like a boxing match that makes it to the final round; with the two so tired they can hardly lift a glove and they just lean on one another gasping and looking forward to the bell (or, as is as likely to happen in marriages, the two just hang out in their separate corners doing their own thing until the final bell sounds). A good marriage does more than last, it brings joy to its members and its fruit brings happiness that endures from generation to generation. But why is this so rare? It should come as no surprise. Look how many people  come from broken families. It isn't their fault, but this really puts them behind the eight ball. They come from broken families and a broken world, so they have bad examples and have internalized all the wrong instincts. Brokenness has been imprinted in their minds and hearts; this cannot help but shape their actions, no matter how good and noble their intentions are. Even if they try to rise above and do things right, what examples are they going to follow? Television? Movies? TikTok?  Their friends? Their hearts? None of these is a reliable guide – all of them are fallen. If statistics are correct – and there is no reason to doubt them – our young men are learning more about how to relate to women from pornography than they are from anything good and real. And the expectations and self-respect of our young women are being shaped by this same blighted culture. Is there really any wonder that we are so bad at marriage? That even those young couples who try to get it right end up building a perverted parody of the kind of blessed union of flesh and spirit that we celebrate in the Mystery of Crowning? That we have far more “towers of Babel” than temples of true love? Reiterating the Problem… and the solution To repeat the Psalm; “Except the Lord build the house, all who labor labor in vain.” (126:1). We cannot overcome our own brokenness by trying harder or following the examples and guidance of people who are broken, too (St. Matthew 15:14; … if the blind lead the blind both will fall into a pit). An alcoholic cannot live a healthy life by trying harder; he has to admit his problem, heal and transform his heart and habits. And he has to let God be the foundation of this process. This is why twelve-step programs are so successful: they transform the hearts and habits of the repentant, with God as the foundation of the process. How many addicts do you know that continue ruining their lives because they think they can work everything out on their own? But alcoholics and philanderers do not just hurt themselves. We know from history and our own observations that the children of alcoholics and broken homes are cursed by both nature and nurture. Again, it isn't fair, but it is true. If we want the next generations to succeed then we have to be honest about both the cause and the cure of what ails them and us. The cause is our brokenness, and the cure is Christ Jesus. The cure is His Church. The cure is the Way of Holy Orthodoxy. All else is vanity. They are Towers of Babel. They are sand castles at a low tide. Back to Today's Gospel: becoming fishers of men The curse of sin is the very thing that Christ came to remove. To put it in very practical terms, Christ came to save your marriages, to heal your addictions, to restore your sanity, and to replace your sorrow, pain, and frustration with joy and eternal blessedness. That is to say, He came to save you from the very real, very specific, and very damning problems in your life. And not just yours, but everyone's. A world that was created good groans in agony, and our Lord loves it too much to allow that to continue. And so He became a man, He taught us, He died for us, He was resurrected and ascended into Glory, and, more to today's point, He established the Church to be the Ark of our salvation. What a beautiful image a boat is for the Church. Think about it: we are drowning in a sea of sin and trying to tread water amidst a storm of temptation. We cannot survive this on our own, and it does not help to band together – eventually, even the strongest swimmer must succumb to weakness; moreover, the weak are infamous for dragging the stronger down. It is a terrible situation to be drowning in this stormy sea. Our breaths are numbered, and we are sure to die in agony. It is only a matter of time. But into this bleak scene comes salvation: the apostles cast out their nets and pull us in to the safety of the boat. We can finally breath without struggling. It is calm in the boat. It is here that our real healing begins… then we are given our own nets.  Conclusion: we cannot catch men if we don't try; we cannot catch men if we don't learn how We are in the boat. Here at Christ the Saviour, we have the fullness of the faith (we are like a fractal of the Universal Church) so it is fair to say that we are the boat. But remember that bit earlier about how nature and nurture conspire against our marriages? You know me well enough by now to know that I wasn't just talking about marriage. Marriage is an image of the Church: the union of flesh with one another and the union of that one flesh with God (Ephesians 5:32). Why should we think that we are naturally any better at living as the Church than we are with marriage? The same forces work against us: we suffer from both nature and nurture. Just as good intentions are not enough for the children of broken homes, they are not enough for us as we try to build this parish. Without serious help, we will just end up building the equivalent of a miserable and failed marriage, another Tower of Babel, a perverse monument to our own fallenness. We cannot do it on our own.  We need help.   We need Christ. Without Him, we are like the Apostles in today's lesson before our Lord came; “toiling all night and catching nothing” (St. Luke 5:5). It had been a hard night for them and they had given up on catching anything; but then Christ came and told them to go back out, and they caught more than they could carry. So many that their boats almost broke. This parish has been through a lot.  There was a time when it was down to a handful of people.  Like Simon in today's lesson, we had good hearts and the best of intentions, but we were tired; and we had pretty much given up on catching fish. But the Lord has told us to get back out there and get it done. And so that is what we are doing.  Of course, we are smart in the ways of the world, and we are always tempted to rely on our own strength and our own hearts. But our hearts are broken and our strength will fail us. “Except the Lord build the house, all who labor labor in vain.” (126:1). But for those who put their trust in the Lord and in His way – there is no limit to the good that they can do. This is where we are. We have given our lives and the future of this parish to the Lord Jesus Christ.  Like Simon, we haven't always seen the point of what the Lord commands, but also like Simon, we follow Him. And we know the result of doing the Lord's will: the catch was so great that their nets were so full that they were all but bursting, and the ship could barely stay afloat.  Does this sound familiar?  The Lord has bless your commitment and your faith; and our growth has been so great that we wonder if our walls can hold the number of men, women, and children who have been pulled in to the safety of the Church. So great that we, like Simon calling for the second boat, are helping to plant missions and look for new properties to provide enough room. Because there is no reason to expect this growth to stop.  After all, there are a lot of people drowning in the waters around us. We cannot allow them to perish – it is God's will that all be saved. It is a tough calling. But we do not labor in vain: because we are building according to the Lord's command. We have been transformed fishers of men. To God be all glory and may He bless us as we do this work.

¿Puede la naturaleza, lo vegetal convertirse en siniestro o perverso? Si, y se hecho varios autores han explorado a lo largo de décadas la posibilidad de que lo vegetal sea también escenario e incluso, aún más protagonista y actor de lo perverso. Arboles perversos, jardines vengativos, enredaderas letales… esta tarde en la torre de Babel, entramos en un jardín terrorífico y lo hacemos a través de  “Gótico botánico: Cuentos de un verdor perverso”, una antología publicada por Editorial Impedimenta, bajo la edición de Patricia Esteban Erlés. Esta colección reúne relatos inquietantes  donde el mundo vegetal es protagonista indiscutible. la naturaleza deja de ser pasiva y se convierte en fuerza activa, monstruosa o vengadora bajo la tenga mirada de la reina del gótico más oscuro, Patricia Esteban Erlés.

This week's Prophetic Update delivers a powerful, no-nonsense review of the most urgent global events through the lens of Bible prophecy. From Israel's battle against Hamas in Gaza and the rising threat of Hezbollah on the northern front, to Russia and Iran tightening their military partnership, China advancing its influence across the Middle East, and the fractured state of Europe, the headlines reveal prophetic patterns that Scripture warned would mark the last days.Video Version Available Immediately upon Release at 9:00pm ET/8:00pm CT at https://www.lastchristian.netWe examine President Trump's fiery speech at the United Nations, his rejection of globalist agendas, and his defense of national sovereignty, all while calling the world to confront unchecked migration and international corruption. We connect these events to Daniel's prophecy of unstable kingdoms of iron and clay, and the preparations for a coming covenant with many.The report digs deep into global economic tremors such as inflation, food shortages, and soaring debt. This alongside the accelerating march toward digital currencies and AI-driven systems of control. These developments foreshadow the coming Beast system described in Revelation 13, where no one can buy or sell without the mark.We also address the moral collapse sweeping the West. Including governments celebrating abortion, enforcing gender confusion, and silencing biblical truth. The viral false prophecy of a September 23–24 Rapture is exposed in light of Jesus' warning that no one knows the day or hour, and we highlight the rise of scoffers and false teachers foretold in 2 Peter and Jude.Finally, we examine the dangerous rise of interfaith “one world religion” movements and the escalating persecution of Christians worldwide.This Prophetic Update is more than a newscast. It is a watchman's trumpet, connecting this week's headlines directly to the Word of God. Wars and rumors of wars, nations aligning against Israel, technology building Babel 2.0, apostasy spreading, and persecution mounting. All signs that the return of Jesus Christ is near, even at the door.For more information, please visit www.lastchristian.net

Nuestro amigo, el lingüista Federico Jiménez, nos plantea una ucronía en la que la bíblica Torre de Babel se termina de construir sin la intervención divina y esto hace que toda la humanidad hable un idioma único. ¿Cómo sería el mundo con una sola lengua? ¿Cual podría ser? ¿Sería viable esta ucronía independientemente del factor religioso? Lo platicamos en este nuevo episodio donde mezclamos religión, lingüística, cultura e imaginación para pensar en un mundo que podría ser mucho peor, o mucho mejor.

This week we will be studying Genesis 11:1-9 under the theme “To Make a Name for Ourselves.” Whereas God's people were commanded to fill the earth, they instead chased recognition, security, and identity apart from God. The Tower of Babel warns us against proud self-reliance and points us to the one name worth exalting — Jesus Christ.Series Summary: Our fall worship series will lead us through the Book of Genesis, arguably the most profound, insightful text in human history. Over this series, we'll uncover how the narratives of Genesis reveal God's design for creation, humanity, relationships, and purpose. We'll explore truths that continue to shape our lives today, from the Garden of Eden to the promise of redemption.Add St. Marcus as your church on the Church Center App!Fill out our online connection cardHow can we pray for you?

Today, we turn back the clock to May 5th, 2024, and join Pastor Chuck Baldwin for Prophecy Message #21: “Babylon the Great — Part One — The Mother of Harlots.”In this powerful message, Pastor Baldwin begins an in-depth study of Revelation 17, exploring the mystery of Babylon the Great—the figure described as the “Mother of Harlots and of the Abominations of the Earth.” He makes it clear: this is not simply one corrupt system, but the origin of them all—the fountainhead of false religion and spiritual deception that began in ancient Babel and continues to our day.Liberty Fellowship: https://libertyfellowshipmt.comFair Use Copyright Disclaimer: under section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, allowance is made for “fair use” for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, education, and research.

Nimrod is a little mentioned man in the Bible, yet when digging through history, we find that he may have had a huge impact on many biblical events. Was he a good or evil man? Why does it matter?In today's episode, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through the history of Nimrod in the Bible, how he likely wasn't a good "mighty hunter," and a deep dive into outside sources that may link him with other notable people throughout history, including his involvement in the Tower of Babel, the creation of Baal, and the rise of the Assyrian and Babylonian empires. Check out this episode for some interesting notes on a rarely talked about, yet pretty important man in the Bible.The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis.

This sermon from Genesis 11:1–9 explores the Tower of Babel and how pride leads humanity to trust in self rather than God. We see that pride creates false confidence, always brings judgment, and can never stop God's will from being accomplished. Through this passage we are reminded to reject pride, trust Christ, and live by faith in His Word and plan.

A MIRACULOUS healing led to a Syrian warrior carrying mule loads of dirt from Israel back to Damascus. Why did Naaman the Syrian do that? In the ancient world, it was understood that every nation had a patron deity. For Syria, that was the storm-god Hadad, better known to us as Baal. For Israel, it was Yahweh—although Jezebel and her children tried hard to replace the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with Baal, Astarte, and the rest of the Canaanite pantheon. When the prophet Elisha instructed Naaman to wash in the Jordan to be healed of his leprosy, Naaman was angry, expecting something more elaborate—a ritual of some kind. But after following the prophet's instructions and being restored to full health, Naaman realized the true God was Yahweh, not Baal, and Israel was His home. So, Naaman loaded two mules with dirt and carried it back to Syria—not because it held magical properties, but because it was a reminder of the one God with the power to heal. The concept of “holy ground” was established after the Tower of Babel, as described in Deuteronomy 32:  When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance,        when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples        according to the number of the sons of God.But the LORD's portion is his people,       Jacob his allotted heritage. (Deut. 32:8–9, ESV)  In other words, God allotted the people of Earth to angelic representatives who were tempted into receiving worship themselves, but He chose Israel as the conduit through which He would bring forth the Messiah to save the world from those fallen entities. We also discuss the way God delivered the northern kingdom of Israel from a prolonged siege of Samaria by the Syrians—despite the continued apostasy of Samaria.

Abraham's story shows how God builds a nation through faith, not shortcuts. Al, Zach, John Luke, and Christian continue their study of Genesis, tracing the tension between Sarah's quick fix with Hagar and God's covenant promise, revealing how Abraham's failures paved the way for his legendary faith. The guys connect Babel's downfall, Sarah's ambiguous laughter, and Abraham's silence to the birth of Israel, highlighting why trust in God always outlasts our schemes.
