The Tower of Bavel by M. Eichhorst “That is why it was called Bavel, because it was there that El Shaddai confused the language of the whole earth, and from there El Shaddai scattered them over the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11:9 The word Bavel means to confuse. There are many people who suggest the Tower of Bavel (Tower of Babel) is in Babylon and they would be wrong. The Tower of Bavel as described in Genesis 11:1-9 is far different than people have been told. The word Bavel is from the Pure Language of El Shaddai (God Almighty) where it is the root of every language today meaning that the Hebrew Language and other nations Languages came from the Pure Language of El Shaddai. Once the incident of the Tower of Bavel and the City of Bavel occurred the Pure Language disappeared and in its place the Hebrew Language and other World Languages was formed (created) about 5,000 years ago. Many people have this wrong and say the Hebrew Language goes back to the Garden of Eden however this is not true. It began after the Tower of Bavel when other Languages were formed. The Pure Language of El Shaddai is the Language we will return once again, but not until El Shaddai and His Mashiach comes back for the 1,000 Year Millennial Reign on earth and after satan, the false messiah, and the false prophet is bound for 1,000 years with those unfaithful. It also seems they may have been warned by El Shaddai because they said in Genesis 11:4. And they said, “Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves lest we be dispersed across the whole earth”. Why would they say; “lest we be dispersed across the whole earth”, had they not have been warned prior? Just because there is no indication of them being warned in the Torah does not mean it didn’t happen because not all things were recorded that happened. It would then mean they sinned against El Shaddai, and it appears they were aware that they could be scattered across the whole earth and appears the 12 Tribes sinned as well, not just 10 Tribes as Judaism indicates, but all 12 Tribes which is why there was a “new language” known as the Hebrew Language taken from the original Pure Language. It’s not that all earthly language came from the Hebrew Language, it’s that all earthly language came out of the Pure Language including Hebrew. That means Hebrew is not the Pure Language neither is any other language in the world today. One Pure Language, One Faith The One “Pure Language” of El Shaddai (God Almighty) which the Bible talks about may in fact be the Edenic Language. The fall of mankind caused “EVERYTHING TO CHANGE,” the Tower of Bavel and the sins of the 12 Tribes, caused “EVERYTHING TO CHANGE.” The One Pure Language of El Shaddai (God Almighty) was created by El Shaddai (God Almighty) until the time of the Tower of Bavel when other races and languages were created by Him. Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek, Latin, English, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Hindi, etc. were all created out of the Pure Language. The Pure Language is the foundation of the Hebrew Language, and the Pure Language is the foundation of all other Languages. All structure, consonants, vowel, etc. comes out of this Pure Language which is similar to the Hebrew; and the Aramaic is similar to Hebrew. This Edenic Language appears to be the “Pure Language” the Bible talks about (maybe?). Zephaniah 3:9. For then I will change the nations to speak a “Pure Language”, so that they all will proclaim the Name of El Shaddai, to worship Him with a united resolve. Ephesians 4:13. Until we all become one and the same, in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of El Shaddai, and one complete man according to the measure of the stature of the fullness of HaMashiach. In other words; as we started with One “Pure Language,” we will eventually return to the Pure Language and that is the Language of El Shaddai and His Mashiach. Whatever the Pure Language of God Almighty is, the point is, we will return to the “One Pure Language and One Faith of El Shaddai,” and maybe we will be transformed by the Power of El Shaddai into “One Race” once again, as we were meant to be. Second Corinthians 3:18. And we all, with uncovered faces, behold as in a mirror (Image) of the glory of Master YHVH; and are transformed into the same likeness, from glory to glory, as by Master YHVH the Spirit. Yochanan (John) 4:24. For El Shaddai is Spirit, and those who worship, they must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Names of God Almighty Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh (I Am that I Am, or I Am what I Am), HaShem (the Name), El Shaddai (God Almighty), El (God), Eloah (God), LORD [all caps], Adonai (LORD), God, the Father, the Creator, Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit), YHVH, Master YHVH are all names for God Almighty. It does not pertain to His Son, Yeshua HaMashiach (Yeshua, the Messiah) however what the Messiah is; is the perfect image of El Shaddai, the resemblance of Him, His mirror image as the head of all God’s Creation, and the one which died on the cross as the sacrificial lamb so we may live. The Tower of Bavel (Babel) People seem to get this wrong in the Bible and credit the building of the tower of Bavel to King Nebuchadnezzar which built many towers within his rule. Today there seems to be 25 architectural ruins of 25 towers in and around Babylon. There seems to be one great tower and was witnessed by the Hebrew Slaves in Babylon of that time but is not the Tower of Bavel described in the Torah. King Nebuchadnezzar was born in 642 B.C.E. and his reign was from 605 B.C.E. to 562 B.C.E. which is thousands of years after the Tower of Bavel described in the Bible was. This means there is no way that King Nebuchadnezzar built the Tower of Bavel as he wasn’t even born yet. He is credited for building many towers including a mighty tower in Babylon, but this is not the Tower of Bavel. Babylon was named after Bavel however is not the location of the city of Bavel described in the Bible. There is only one place that describes the Tower of Bavel in the Bible and that is Genesis 11:1-9 which gives us several clues to describe where it possible could be. Genesis 11:2. And it came to pass, when they migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. “They migrated from the east” has always meant coming out of the city of Babylon, as the Jewish Magi “came from the east” to see and worship the birth of the newborn king of the Jews in Bethlehem. Matthew 2:1. And when Yeshua was born in Beth-Lekhem (Bethlehem) of Yehuda (Judah), in the days of Herodus, the king, Magoshi (Magi) came from the east to Urishlim (Jerusalem). The land of Shinar stretched from the sea to the west, today that is the Mediterranean Sea from the border of Egypt in the Sinai to near the Black Sea and near the Caspian Sea’s to the North to at least near Baghdad. Where the city of Babylon is today would be in the east. The Talmud, which is the Jews most valued book, second to the Tanach written by Babylonian Jews in the City of Babylon, Iraq however is not the city of Bavel. Genesis 2:4. And they said, “Come, let us build a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed across the whole earth.” This was in the years of King Nimrod, a mighty man, the great grandson of Noah. Genesis 10:8-9. 8. And Cush begot Nimrod. He was the first to be a mighty man on earth. 9. He was a mighty hunter before El Shaddai. When Moshe (Moses) wrote the Torah he began giving us the generations of Noah and then for some strange reason he stopped in the middle of describing the generations and wrote the 9 verses of the Tower of Bavel and then continued afterwards to describe once again the remainder of the generations. WHY? The story of the Tower of Bavel (Babel) was written by Moshe (Moses) approximately 1,000 years before King Nebuchadnezzars birth and was written of the story in the past. King Nimrod is credited with the building the City of Bavel and the Tower of Bavel. Nimrod was born a Jew and spoke the Pure Language, before the Tower of Bavel and appears to be after all language was confused by El Shaddai and His Son HaMashiach (the Messiah) Nimrods language was changed to Hebrew. Nimrod is believed to be the forerunner to the Arabs and the Arabs spoke Aramaic, the sister language to Hebrew and the faith of the Hebrews, however Nimrod was born a Jew. The story about the Tower of Bavel took place over 5,000 years ago and we only have what the Bible says about it written in Genesis 11:1-9. Babylon and the fall of Babylon took place about 2,539 years ago. What I do know is the fall of Babylon in 539 B.C.E. is not when the events took place with the City of Bavel and the Tower of Bavel occurred thousands of years earlier. Here is what the Bible has to say; Genesis 11:1-9 1. The whole earth was of one language and of common purpose. 2. And it came to pass, when they migrated from the east, they found a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. 3. They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them in fire.” And the brick served them as stone and the bitumen (black tar or asphalt) served them as mortar. 4. And they said, “Come, let us build us a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves lest we be dispersed across the whole earth. 5. El Shaddai descended to look at the city and tower which the sons of men built, 6. and El Shaddai said, “Behold, they are one people with one language for all, and this they begin to do! And now, should it not be withheld from them all they proposed to do? 7. Come let us descend and they confuse their language, that they should not understand one another’s language.” 8. And El Shaddai dispersed them from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city. 9. That is why it was called Bavel, because it was there that El Shaddai confused the language of the whole earth, and from there El Shaddai scattered them over the face of the whole earth. Many people say that language is not race, however I differ as the original languages when they were changed over 5,000 years ago, is the time in which race began. Race began when El Shaddai changed everyone’s language into multiple languages and multiple races on earth, before that it was one race, one language, one faith. Each race was created with its own language and scattered across the Four Corners of the Earth to each ones New Nation at that time. Even the Race and Language in Israel was changed from the Pure Language to the Hebrew language, before that there was no Hebrew language. The Pure Language is the Language that all Language origin of the World came from. I have reason to believe that the Pure Language is the language of El Shaddai (God Almighty) and His Son Yeshua HaMashiach (Yeshua, the Messiah) and His Son is the head of all El Shaddai’s Creation, not as God but as “the Messiah”. The Pure Language is possible to be the Edenic Language, however, the language spoken when the Messiah was on this earth was the un-pure Hebrew language and the un- pure Aramaic language with one faith, the Hebrew faith. Even the Arabs believed in the Hebrew faith during the time of the Messiah which was between 5 B.C.E. and 30 C.E. It wasn’t until 610 C.E. when this faith was changed and sometime afterwards was the language changed from Aramaic to Arabic, a new language of the Muslim faith making the Aramaic a dead language, but the Aramaic seems to be getting revised with Bible Scholars, Messianic Bible Scholars and those Christians which have turned away from their Christian faith and embarrassed the Biblical Teachings of the Hebrew faith. Aramaic is rooted of Arabic, but the Muslims wanted to get away from the Hebrew faith because of their hatred that consumed them from hasa’tan (the satan) which now is considering the Hebrew faith, the Hebrew Bible, the Hebrew language, and the Aramaic language as evil and blasphemous to them. Allah is not God but rather satan their god, the god of this world, not the God of the universe. Where is the City of Bavel and the Tower of Bavel? No one knows exactly the location; however, it is not in Babylon, Iraq. The phrase; they “migrated from the east”, is in reference to they came from Babylon which is in the east. There is strong evidence that the Nimrod Castle in Israel is the location of the City of Bavel, and the hilltop of Nimrods Fortress (Nimrod Castle) in about 30 C.E. was built upon ruins that might have been where the Tower of Bavel once stood. Today Nimrod’s Fortress is in ruins, was it a coincidence? maybe or was it because Nimrod’s Fortress was built on the same site as the Tower of Bavel? Nimrod Fortress was rebuilt in 1228 C.E. by Al-Aziz Uthman, the son of Saladin's brother al-'Adil, to preempt an attack on Damascus by the armies of the Sixth Crusade. It was named Qal'at al-Subeiba, which means the "Castle of the Large Cliff" in Arabic. In 1260 C.E. the Mongols captured the castle, dismantled some of its defenses and left their ally, the son of Al-Aziz 'Uthman, in charge of it and the nearby town of Ein Banias (ref: Greek god Pan). The fortress was ruined by an earthquake in the 18th century. The Druze people who came to the region during the 1860 C.E. conflict of Lebanon and Damascus, Syria which was between themselves and the Maronites which during killed Christians and began calling it Qal'at Namrud (Nimrod's Castle), attributing it to the Biblical Nimrod. The City of Bavel is located in a valley below Nimrods Fortress (Nimrods Castle) and the Fortress is on a hilltop overlooking the City of Bavel. Today there is no remanence of a city and tower in this location. The Tower was during the time of the Great Grandson of Noah, Nimrod, a Mighty Man, a Mighty Hunter before El Shaddai, and he was on this earth about 5,000 years ago. Blasphemy Babylon The Romans, the Religious Roman Empire (Catholic Church) began in 313 C.E. and called themselves Christians of the Christianity Faith (Christo-Paganism) taking away from the original Hebrew Faith as the Talmidim (Disciples) of Rabbi Yeshua were thus forging a New Religion in the world and is why El Shaddai called them “full of the names of Blasphemy” which are “wrong doctrines of men”. Every Christian Religious Teachings, Faith and Christian Bible (all versions) comes out of this Religious Roman Empire’s false teachings as they took away from and added to the Bible in violation of Revelation 22:18-19 and a violation of the Commandments of El Shaddai. There is Only One El Shaddai made it clear that there is; • only “one Faith” (the Faith of God which Hebrew was derived from, “not Judaism”, not “Christianity”, and not of any man-made Religion in the world), • only “one Immersion” (the Mikveh), • only “one Hope” (Salvation Gift – Salvation is given by God Almighty through His Son Yeshua), • only “one Pure Language”, • only “one God Almighty” (YHVH, or Adonai (LORD [capital letters]), Adonai El Shaddai (LORD GOD ALMIGHTY), not the trinity. • only “one Messiah” (Yeshua, not God), • only “one Body” (Congregation), • and in only “one Spirit” (El Shaddai (God Almighty) as He is Spirit – aka: Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit)). There is only 2 entities – (1) God Almighty which is Spirit, and (2) His Son, Yeshua the Messiah (not God). Ephesians 4:3-7 3. And be earnest to keep the unity of the Spirit in a bond of peace; 4. So that you may become one body and one Spirit; even as you are called to the one Hope of your calling. 5. There is one Master YHVH, one Faith and one Immersion. 6. One El Shaddai, Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all of us. 7. But to every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Mashiach.
