1 The Man Who Completed Babel s Tower Genesis 11: A New World 1

2 An Expanding Population A few thousand years before Christ. Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. The Middle East 2

3 Nimrod Genesis 11:4 Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves,, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth. The Tower of Babel 3

4 20/07/2014 New Technology Fire-hardened bricks Bitumen Genesis 11:3 And they said to one another, Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. 4

5 Built by Nimrod Pride is a deadly thing Genesis 11:4 Then they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth. 5

6 No Planning Permission Time up! Genesis 11:6-9 And the LORD said, Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. 7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another s speech. 8 So the LORD dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. 9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of all the earth. And from there the LORD dispersed them over the face of all the earth. 6

7 Analysis A choice was made to ignore God s commands Pride was a major factor God did something about it God will make a name Abraham (Abram) Genesis 12:1-2 Now the LORD said to Abram, Go from your country and your kindred and your father s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great,, so that you will be a blessing. 7

8 Abraham - Called by God 8

9 God promised Abraham A Land (Land of Israel) A People (Jews and Arabs) A Special Descendent (Jesus) In Jesus all the World could be Blessed 1500 years 9

10 Great King Nebuchadnezzar Nebuchadnezzar built Babylon and included the site of Babel within the walls (c.600bc) He rebuilt the Tower of Babel and called it the Tower of Nebo He was the man who completed the Tower of Babel 10

11 Inscription 11

12 Pride again Daniel 4:28-30 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 and the king answered and said, Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty? Today 12

13 Reach for the skies The World s Tallest! 13

14 Burj Khalifa Dubai God s Building Ephesians 2: So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure,, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 14

15 Counting the Cost Jesus said:- Luke 14:28-30 For which of you, desiring to build a tower, does not first sit down and count the cost, whether he has enough to complete it? Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, saying,, This man began to build and was not able to finish. God s Design Jesus - the sure foundation God s people are the stones, wood etc. All different All important All rely on each other Some visible Some hidden 15

16 Rock or Sand?? Matthew 7: Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock Your Choice Modern towers Or God s building? 16

17 A Contrast Nebuchadnezzar finished the Tower of Babel But And it is no more God will complete His building And it will last for ever 17
