Man’s deep quest to conquer and control the material world has been a driving force that has led to many scientific discoveries that have produced marvels throughout history. Every generation and civilisation wants to build a tower of Babel. The question: Can men ever know the nature of the matter? Should humans absolutely engage themselves in understanding and capturing the material world? Or, should we perceive material realities as corruptible, and decide to focus our minds instead on the immaterial metaphysical world of beauty and truth?
It is unfortunate that modern society has divorced itself from immateriality. Humans stubbornly analyse every new scientific discovery in the material world as a refutation of the previous discoveries, and that search doesn’t end. Hence, this ambitious project of man “to build the tower of Babel” has a severe consequences, because it seeks to dominate things and beings in society, a power and authority that belongs to God and God alone. Where immaterial truth is absent, chaos reigns.
An ambitious project of contemporary society in the past few decades is to have one language, one government, one economy and one religion. It seems that man has succeeded in creating one language, that is, ‘technology’, which has shrunk the whole world into a global village. All can understand and related to each other through the use of technology, no matter what part of the world one inhabits. This process has yielded several benefits that are undeniable. Man is a social being, and communication is an essential component of his nature. However, technology has also created a profound void in society. Relationships people share are nourished through the medium of technology but only at a peripheral level.
Technology drives the society and the younger generation would be totally lost, if gadgets were to be taken away from them. We have to keep in mind that technology is impartial and impersonal. It can confirm or betray your feelings and views, without a thought or care. The recently concluded presidential election in the United States is a stark reminder of this reality. Hillary Clinton found herself in a quagmire due to questions about her emails. Nobody can hide or run away, because somebody is always watching you. Will today’s tower of Babel build human society or bring on its demise?
A world government is not just a talk; the United Nations has taken concrete steps to make it a reality. The United Nations is promising that if we all work together that we can turn our planet into some kind of “utopia”. The UN is not asking permission, but issuing a command that the entire planet will commit to 17 sustainable development goals and 169 sustainable development targets designed to radically transform our world by 2030. Through a controlled media campaign, mass populations will be told that this is all about saving the environment and ending poverty.
The truth is that all of this talk about unity masks a very insidious agenda: Communists have promised the people a workers’ paradise. Networking and globalization are not accidental, but part of the agenda of that secrete society. We are being trained to think of ourselves as global citizens. Those who refuse to join this movement are branded as bigots, racists by liberals and progressive in society. Humanity is at a crossroads. Should we relinquish our will to a pseudo government that promises to take care of our material needs, so long as we forfeit culture, traditions, language and personal faith in God? The recent referendum “Brexit” and the US presidential election were heavy blow to this ambitious global project. The question is, will it stop the secret society and other nations from forming a world government?
Contemporary society has embraced a modern form of atheism that is meant to become the new world religion. What is the modern form of atheism? It is not so modern, but ancient.
The classic philosophers captured the imagination of the people by presenting “The First Mover”, but this God was impersonal, who exists in an unapproachable distance. The whole notion of God was changed through a profound experience of a personal God – a God unbound by time – by a community that willingly entered into a covenantal relationship with God. It is unfortunate that modern society is sliding back to embracing an ancient deity, by promoting universal brotherhood of men around a concept of universal impersonal entity. This scenario has provided impetus for the younger generation to disavow their parents’ faith.
In particular, terrorist acts conducted in the name of God seem to encourage the notion that religion should be abandoned. The acts of terror in the name of religion are some of the excuses the secret society uses to advance its agenda of forming one global religion. Their claim is that if humanity will just come together in unity, all our problems will be solved. In recent years, you may have noticed that it has become very trendy to say that all religions are just different paths to the same God.
Modern society is vying to take the place of God. In the Book of Genesis, we hear about the “Tower of Babel”. “Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly. They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” Will our modern society succeed in building the tower of Babel?
The international space center, satellites, and other space programme are modern towers that capture the aerial view of earth and glimpses of other worlds. It is unfortunate that every major crises is considered through the prism of how it can advance global government, rather than being perceived as a clarion call for spotlighting why we need to rely on divine providence, and man’s God-given reason and free will. For many, eradicating poverty, war and disease are in the power of government alone. If we continue to try to build a “Tower of Babel”, we are setting the stage for global confrontation, the likes of which has been unknown to humankind? Will the new tower, whether accidentally or consciously built, advance the human society or bring about our demise?
