Nimrod, Babel

And the anti-Christian globalist ideologies that seduce the world

When Nimrod began building the Tower of Babel, his intention and argument was: “Come, let us build ourselves 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 earth” (Genesis 11:4). This was the idea that was current among the men of that time. This was what Nimrod wanted them to think. Soon, the ambitious project gained adherents and captured the minds of his time. And so the tower began to be built.

But Nimrod always knew that it would never be possible to build something that would touch the heavens. But he sold the illusion anyway. The devil is an expert seller of illusions. He knows how tempted we are to embrace fantasies and illusory projects, as long as we think that in the end, somehow, we will obtain some benefit. He has a method and is ancient. When he went to Eve, what did he tell the woman to convince her to disobey God and eat the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil? That she – and Adam – would be “like God”, that is, equal to God (Genesis 3:5).

Nimrod was the first prototype – so to speak – of the Antichrist who walked the earth since the fall of man. When we read Flavius ​​Josephus, a traditionally reliable source, we see him report that Nimrod, a brave man (a description that also appears in the Bible) convinced the men of his time that it was not God who was responsible for their victories and blessings, but rather they themselves, for their own individual capacity and value. Note the materialist discourse. It is the root of all Marxist dialectics, with an atheist and anti-Christian profile. A discourse polished, perfected and crystallized by the Germanic philosophers who today are a reference for thousands of Christians around the world. What diabolical irony, right?

Then, still according to Josephus, Nimrod presents himself as “ the solution to all of humanity’s problems” with the idea of ​​building a tower that, according to him, would protect men from another flood “threat.” Notice how God becomes the great and disturbing villain of the story. But Nimrod also knew that this was not true, because God had told Noah that He would no longer bring the flood upon the earth (Genesis 9:11). And this information was passed down from generation to generation. Nimrod used the lie in a populist way to promote himself, when in fact what he wanted was to hold power over all men. Familiar?

When we say that the roots of communism/Marxism/socialism are satanic, this can be taken in two ways. In the first, the Devil planned all of this and passed it on to men. And in the second, men simply absorbed these principles after ages of devilish cults. In both cases, the end result will be the same and the modus operandi similar: the promise of a better world, as long as God is removed from the equation. By taking upon himself the responsibility of dictating the destinies of humanity, Nimrod tries to take God's place and, worse, presents himself as someone who can offer humanity a better world without HIM. Isn't this what Marxism preaches in the philosophical field? Isn't this what progressivism defends in the social field?

Finally, Josephus brings one more piece of information. Destroying any sense of reality, Nimrod would have promised the people that, once the tower was finished and heaven was reached, he would avenge the deaths of all those who perished in the flood, which aroused the anger and wounded pride of their descendants. Nimrod wanted to make a revolution in heaven, enter the kingdom, dethrone the King, and then he, Nimrod, would take possession of the crown. All this after lying, distorting, manipulating and corrupting.

Deep down, what he wanted was power outside of God. In order to distort the entire work of Creation. As an efficient messenger of Lucifer, gifted with a seductive tongue and a malicious power of persuasion, he made men fall in love with lies under the pretext of fulfilling their lowest and darkest desires. The promise of a better world without the presence of the one who gave life to them all.

There is no better world without truth reigning. A society that benefits men is not possible without reality being lived in its entirety. There is no life without GOD. Note that this is what the Siamese twins (socialism/progressivism) preach. Note that everything they fight against is exactly what is in the light, on the side of good, of what is decent, ethical and moral. The “spirit” of Nimrod, or rather, the “spirit” that was behind Nimrod, has walked this earth for millennia, always with a Tower of Babel under its arm to offer us.

But Babel means “confusion.” And GOD likes things, as Paul says, with “decency and order” (1 Corinthians 14:40). Communism and progressivism are spiritual, human, and social confusions. There is no possible Tower of Babel in any of the worlds planned by God. Even if it starts to be built, and may astonish many who see it rise, in the end it is GOD who decides what can and cannot be built. Today, we have a tower that is already quite tall. But do not be afraid. Soon the owner of the world will come down, and those who work on its construction will know who really rules over everything and everyone.
