~~ Babylonian Tower ~~

This will be a message tying together the Babylonian Tower with the Rapture teaching of our day. The modern day Tower of Babel is the rapture teaching lie. First I want to give you a meaning of the word ‘tower�? This comes from the Strong’s Hebrew # 4869. It says a cliff or other lofty, inaccessible place or altitude; a refuge or defence.

As I was studying some Scriptures on the tower God spoke to me and told me that this Babylonian Tower of Babel is tied to the rapture teaching of today.

Carnal minded teachers have led everyone astray concerning this man, Nimrod and what it was he was doing. This teaching of a rapture is just a carry-over of that. I will show you how in this message.

The false hope of a rapture is the same kind of thing they were doing over there of trying to build a tower which would reach unto heaven. Nimrod was not trying to build a ‘material�?building tall enough to reach unto heaven up in the skies. Those people were too brilliant for that.

Genesis says that Nimrod was a mighty hunter before the LORD. People claim he was hunting wild game, that because he killed so many big animals this made him a great hunter before God. But no! That is not the answer. Why would God care that this man could kill animals? That would not make him a mighty hunter before God.

God has shown me a lot of things in our present which ties with this matter. It is going on around you in the natural and the spiritual.

People were still in a body much like unto a glorified body before the flood. They lived almost a thousand years. Now after the flood this was cut down to less than 200 years. It became shorter and shorter as they moved further away from the flood.

So this is what Nimrod was seeking for -- a way to get back to that perfect state of being. He was seeking the secrets of God by which they could again live on and on in their natural body without coming God’s way. They did not want to repent and serve God and live a Holy life. So Nimrod was seeking the same thing scientists today are seeking -- the secret to perfect health and long life . The ‘heaven�?he was seeking to reach was not a PLACE up in the skies somewhere. This heaven means the glorified body.

Before the flood they had been so brilliant and had almost perfected this state again of the Garden of Eden. This is what they were seeking -- to become glorified again. God brought the flood to destroy that race of people. They were living too long and had become filled with violence.

So after the flood Nimrod and the others were once again seeking for that knowledge by which they could bypass death and live on and on in their sinful condition. And see that they had found the secret. They had actually as they say today, broken the DNA code and were a lot further down the road than we are today with this kind of stuff. For God said now nothing they have imagined to do will be denied them.

So once again God stepped in and put a stop to it. This time he scattered them over the whole earth and changed their languages so that no one could understand the other. Thus he stopped their attempt to reach back into their perfect state in the Garden of Eden.

This word ‘hunter�?is the same as our word ‘scientist�? Nimrod was seeking the secrets to immortality. He wanted to eradicate the mortality which God had placed on them as a result of Adam’s sin. He wanted to live on and on without repenting and living as God says to live.

When God put ‘coats of skin�?on Adam and Eve this means He put this mortality upon them. He put them into mortal flesh. This actually made them naked. They were naked as the Laodicians of today are; naked away from the glory of God and immortality.

So this is what Nimrod was hunting, the secret back into this immortal state. This is the ‘heaven�?they were attempting to reach.

Adam and Nimrod wanted to rule forever over this earth in their carnal, earthly state of being. But God will never allow this. That is what the disciples and others kept tempting Jesus to do -- go set himself up as an earthly king and rule in this mortal flesh. But Jesus knew he could not do this thing and please God. Jesus knew God will destroy all who attempt to build this kind of ‘tower�?

Solomon said nothing new will ever be under the sun. All that ever will be has already been. This means those people had advanced so far beyond anything our scientist know today or ever will know that we will never reach the same place they were.

All of these abortions have been for this purpose: they have been using these little babies body parts to experiment with. They have been trying to find a way to stop death by ‘killing�?these little babies to experiment with. That is how evil this drive is. But Nimrod was far beyond them.

This tower was an attempt to regain eternal life without coming God’s way of repentance and being born again. These ‘mad scientist�?(that is what I call them)-- are trying to learn how to ‘create�?life and become God. That is what Adam wanted, to become as God. That is what Nimrod wanted, to become as God. But it will never work. Jesus Christ is the only human being who ever found the secret and made it. He was seated on the throne or God and made to be our God. He obeyed God in all things and never sinned. This is how he did what they cannot do. Jesus came in God’s way. He never lifted himself up as God, though the world is full of people accusing him of doing this.

People, this is that original sin. This is the sin of Nimrod and Adam, trying to become God. Jesus never made this mistake.

This is what all of this taking body parts out of one person and putting it into another person is all about. You who think this is a good thing are playing right into the hands of the devil. God has never intended any such evil to be on this earth. This is not God’s way to health and long life. All who partake of this evil are into the same thing Nimrod was into.

This is a very wicked thing. And it will lead to much more evil. Already in other countries they kill Christians and take their body parts to give to wicked, rich folks. I am telling all of you who help this evil prosper this is where you are headed. Some day they will kill you for your body parts. You need to take a stand against this evil. Don’t give your body parts or blood to someone else and don’t take theirs into yourself. Just pray and believe and God will heal you the Scripture way. Or else you are being part of the ‘NIMROD�?TOWER.

Now the church world is also working on a Tower of Babel. By that I mean this rapture lie. They are trying to get a way into Heaven without coming God’s Way of true repentance, baptism in the Name of Jesus Christ and being filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost then living a holy life the rest of their lives.

They say you can live in sins every day and still be raptured into Heaven. God has never designed any such way into Heaven. There is no such thing as a ‘rapture�? It is a lie of Satan. It is distortion of God’s Word. It is another attempt to reach into heaven some way other than God’s way. Just as sure as they are distorting God’s Word for this false hope, you can be assured Nimrod was doing the same thing. So was Adam. They were more expert at this than these folks today.

We must die and be resurrected into immortality. This is God’s way. Only those who live until Jesus returns to earth and changes them into immortality will bypass death. Yet all these sinning, carnal folks by the millions, who go to church, are saying there is some other way into Heaven. They are saying Jesus is going to just take them off up into the sky somewhere without dying.

I tell you it is just another Tower of Babel. It is a lie of Satan. It is an attempt to reach Heaven (immortality) without obeying God.

I tell you it will never work.

Now since I have already placed a message here proving by the Scriptures that the rapture teaching is false, and since this message is already long, I will not do that part of this message now.

But you need to study the Word and prove all these things. Don’t be guilty of trying to build yourself a ‘Tower of Babel�?

Any attempt to find salvation without coming in exactly as Peter taught it in Acts is a tower of Babel. Unless you truly REPENT OF YOUR SINS, after coming to belief in the Son of God and His Father, then being Baptized in Water in the Name of Jesus Christ for the REMISSION of those sins, then being filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost with evidence of speaking in other tongues as the spirit gives you utterance, then you are guilty of trying to build a Tower of Babel === which is trying to get to eternal life some way other than God’s provided way.

This is the only hope of salvation. The Book of Acts must be obeyed or there will be no salvation or eternal life. If you continue to reject this way and refuse to obey the same pattern Peter and Paul gave in the Book of Acts, unless you receive the Holy Ghost just as they did in the upper room, you are doing the same thing Nimrod did.

If you continue to look to doctors, scientist and such to give you health, and a long good life, then you are doing the same thing Nimrod did = you are trying to get to Heaven some way other than God’s way. God said call for the elders of the Church, let them anoint you with oil and pray for you and you will be healed and your sins forgiven. Now this is the only Way God will accept. Any other way is that of Nimrod. It is a Tower of Babel.

The Christians Tower is faith in the Name of Jesus. The NAME of the LORD is a strong TOWER. The righteous run into it and are safe. The righteous are those who obey God. The Christians Tower is obeying God and trusting him. If you do things your own way, you make yourself your own god.
