THE PURE LANGUAGE OF GOD

WHAT ONCE WAS WILL BE AGAIN

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” Gen.11:1

     One day the civilization of men will be restored to the original plan and intended purpose of GOD for His children. But not in this present world! Said Jesus: “My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…but now is my kingdom not from hence.” Jn.18:36. “As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.” I Cor.15:48. Those who are heaven bound through the Grace of Jesus Christ “desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city.” Heb.11:16. And after all is said and done the vision of the loved and loving John will one day come to pass: “And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away.” Rev.21:1.

     Before the LORD Jesus Christ can “restore all things” (Matt.17:11) the depths and wickedness of sinful men must be allowed to show their true character. To get a handle on this we would be wise to see a little of how GOD has had to intervene throughout history to prevent the global unification of unrepentant men and bring to pass His promises to restore all that was lost through the intrusion of Satan and his government, compelling his curse of sin on every living thing.

     One story of GOD’S divine intervention goes back to the days of our father Noah. After the great deluge where GOD brought Satan’s regime of wicked men to an end, when sinful men desired to live the way men lived before the flood, where the “wound is incurable” “and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” (Mic.1:9; Gen.6:5) Satan marshaled his forces to unify men once more to defy GOD of all that is “holy, and just, and good” even while Noah was still alive praying for his family and calling his children to abstain from sin (Rom.7:12). To his dying breath, our father Noah stood faithful to the Gospel call. He died c.1999 B.C., approx. two years before the birth of Abraham.

     The sons of Noah had many children. The generations of men were underway again to fill the Earth with GOD’S children. “The name of one was Peleg; for in his days was the earth divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.” Gen.10:25. It was in this generation that we see GOD dividing the continents into the seven continents present with us today. Scientifically, it was a natural result of the great flood when GOD split the crust of the Earth with a seam that stretched over the entire planet (like the seam of a baseball). In that day “were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.” Gen.7:11. But in this great display of GOD’S power over the works of His hands we also see a great spiritual lesson: a show of Christ's salvation. This division of the continents served GOD’S purpose to thwart the unification of men in sin. With the various nations and kingdoms scattered throughout the world, men could not gather in the global rebellion that Satan had determined: to bring men to the same point as in the days leading up to the flood. Christ had not yet come! And the LORD had to shepherd men cursed with sin to bring them to the point where the supreme Intervention occurred:

"But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ." Gal.4:4-7.

     But it was during this early age of the Earth when the elitists of the then ‘New World Order’ determined an evil objective: “And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech. And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there. And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth. And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” Gen.11:1-6.

     Here’s where the power of GOD’S intervention preserved the human race. The remedy "the LORD" used was simple: “Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.” v.7. The division of languages we see today goes all the way back to the age of the tower of Babel and Nimrod, the world’s first holy pontiff (ca. 2200 B.C.) whose traditions of sun worship and sin have been carried down through the millennia, even to our day. This was a time when GOD had to come down and prevent the global unification of unrepentant, sinful men, by converting man’s single language into many different languages, thus confounding Satan’s determination to unite the world in sin and defiance against GOD. Although dialects have changed, this division of languages remains to this day.

     But one day GOD will restore His perfect language, a language so refined, so descriptive, so heavenly that the most complex emotions and aspirations we feel will be spoken with absolute clarity, and all who hear will understand perfectly the intents of our heart.

“Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!” “He hath made his wonderful works to be remembered: the LORD is gracious and full of compassion.” Ps.107:8,15,21,31; 114:4.
