A Quick Concise history of the beginning and the end...

Christians believe that if all can come in One Accord, in repentance, believing on God to be their deliverance, that God will deliver. He will show up, arrive, be in their presence.
2 Chronicles 7:14. If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
This is in essence, faith.
Well, don't you know that the he who opposes God knows this as well? Don't you believe that he who opposes God and wants to see the downfall of God would try anything in his power to tear down God's strongholds?
Hence the story of the Tower of Babel. It is below from Genesis 11.
Genesis 11
1. And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
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.
3. 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.
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.
5. And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of
men builded.
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.
7. Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they
may not understand one another's speech.
8. So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth:
and they left off to build the city.
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.
I highlighted the words confounded their language.
Biblical scholars do not argue that this was the beginning of the many languages
of the earth. Notice the need to be One in verse 1. (Does it seem odd
that this is the first book (1) the eleventh chapter (11) the first verse (1)
and the verse contains the word one twice (11)?
Adding digits: Book + Chapter + Verse# + content = "6", the number of a man.
The one - who opposes God also has plans for the future:
Daniel 11:36
36. And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous
things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be
accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
The plan is to put all the earthly things under a single authority, him.
But this has been bothering me... how to communicate with the entire world. Especially for this special day in our future history:
Matthew 24:
15. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation,
spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let
him understand:)
16. Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:
Daniel 11:37
37. Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
God had a method of connecting with His people. It's reverently called tongues. Reference this passage in Acts.
Acts 2
1. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one
accord in one place.
2. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and
it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon
each of them.
4. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation
under heaven.
6. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were
confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.
7. And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are
not all these which speak Galilaeans?
8. And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?
* emphasis added.
God has a plan, he showed the way to get to people... communicate. His communication was miraculous. He took away communication at Babel, He established communication for His purposes. What is His purpose? To bring all people back to Him, the one True God.
So, what's the point of all this? Are we in the end-times? Can the one who opposes God have the ability to communicate with entire world? Can man do what God did using technology?
