Watch Transcript

This message examines the story of the Tower of Babel from Genesis chapters 10 and 11, highlighting the unity and rebellion of humanity against God's command to spread across the earth. The speaker discusses the dangers of a one-world government and religion, emphasizing that such unity often leads to a devaluation of God, as people create Him in their own image. The message warns against humanism and the tendency to manipulate God for personal gain. Ultimately, it calls for a deeper understanding of God's true nature and purpose, encouraging listeners to let God be God rather than reducing Him to their own desires.

Genesis 10:1-32Genesis 11:1-9Genesis 9:1Revelation 5:9
