    Default The Modern Tower of Babel (EU building)


    Gen 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
    Gen 11:2 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.
    Gen 11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.
    Gen 11:4 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.
    Gen 11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
    Gen 11:6 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 11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

    Gen 11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
    Gen 11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

    An illustration of one of the buildings of the European Parliament in Strasbourg France, the Louise Weiss Building, which includes a tower that appears to be unfinished.


    Below on the left is a painting done in 1563 of the Tower of Babel, by Pieter Brueghel the Elder, a Flemish Northern Renaissance Painter. Below on the right is a poster produced by the European Union symbolically depicting their mission. It combines the 12 stars of the EU flag with the rebuilding of the tower of Babel with the motto Europe: Many Tongues One Voice. Note also that the stars are shown as inverted pentagrams, an occult symbol for Satan.



    The tower of the Louise Weiss Building (shown below), although it looks unfinished, was designed with the expressed purpose of resembling the tower of Babel as depicted in Brueghel's painting!

    again what is wrong with that? The architects and maybe governments behind the construction of the building want it designed after Tower of Babel, by the way the Tower of Babel is a painting by Brueghel, a building created from the mind of a painter named after a biblical event.

    wala may picture ang bible kong unsa jud ang tower of babel xiao.

    by the way I have a question...nganong masoko man ang bible God sa achievement sa tao?

    The Jewish historian Flavius Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews (c AD 94), recounted history as found in the Hebrew Bible and mentioned the Tower of Babel. He wrote that it was Nimrod who had the tower built and that Nimrod was a tyrant who tried to turn the people away from God. In this account, God confused the people rather than destroying them because destroying people with a Flood hadn't taught them to be godly.

    Now it was Nimrod who excited them to such an affront and contempt of God. He was the grandson of Ham, the son of Noah, a bold man, and of great strength of hand. He persuaded them not to ascribe it to God, as if it were through his means they were happy, but to believe that it was their own courage which procured that happiness. He also gradually changed the government into tyranny, seeing no other way of turning men from the fear of God, but to bring them into a constant dependence on his power... Now the multitude were very ready to follow the determination of Nimrod and to esteem it a piece of cowardice to submit to God; and they built a tower, neither sparing any pains, nor being in any degree negligent about the work: and, by reason of the multitude of hands employed in it, it grew very high, sooner than any one could expect; but the thickness of it was so great, and it was so strongly built, that thereby its great height seemed, upon the view, to be less than it really was. It was built of burnt brick, cemented together with mortar, made of bitumen, that it might not be liable to admit water. When God saw that they acted so madly, he did not resolve to destroy them utterly, since they were not grown wiser by the destruction of the former sinners [in the Flood]; but he caused a tumult among them, by producing in them diverse languages, and causing that, through the multitude of those languages, they should not be able to understand one another. The place wherein they built the tower is now called Babylon, because of the confusion of that language which they readily understood before; for the Hebrews mean by the word Babel, confusion...

    nice motto, I must say. This place man gud xiao and history can tell you nga gobot kaayo ni. daghan ng gyera ang nahitabo sa europe di ba? so I think ang mga leaders to avoid future wars kay kini wala ra bay dako nga dagat ang nag seperate aning mga logara di ba?(correct me if im wrong) they came up a solution nga e osa ang europe. kong tan-awon pod nimo xiao ang mga nation sa europe lain lain pod ang form sa government, nya mga idealist ra ba ni sila so to prevent another hitler or stalin or marx, mas maayo sigoro nga they can come up og osa ka IDEALISM nga lipay ang tanan, respetohay sa tagsa tagsa ka gobyerno, respotahay sa lain lain nga pinolongan. So maayo ni nga UNION.

    What?

    This is a conspiracy theory, CTs aren't real, they're just speculations. Kagabii pa ko nagbasa ani nga thread and all I can say whats wrong with that? (taken from Malic).

    I don't see why you should treat CTs as real, or maybe you're just becoming too paranoid of CTs (no offense pal)

    for those who are blind.. it's just a conspiracy theory...
    for those who are not.. it's real...

    You don't have solid evidence to prove its real. So please stop praising that its real, things like these are just like the 2012 Doomsday Nibiru Scare that's flooding YouTube and Google.
