Bless YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH, the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have selected us from among all the peoples, and have given us your Torah. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Amein.
ויהי כל הארץ
Our Torah portion:
Gen 11:1 And all
the earth had one language1 and one speech. Footnote: 1Hebrew
lip or The entire earth continued to have one language and the same
words for all of them.
Gen 11:2 And it came to be, as they set out from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinʽar1, and they dwelt there. Footnote: 1Earlier name for Baḇel
‘’The Hebrew word for east is qedem and
literally means "the direction of the rising sun."
The implications of this statement are astounding. This is because time, as
defined as the distance between two physical events, is not a physical
measurement in and of itself. Yet in ancient Hebrew, time and distance refer to
the same thing and literally to "the direction of the rising sun,"
(which we as human beings call the east direction). One implication of this
association would be that the origin of all things could have come,
does come, and will come from the east.’’ (The proximity of both the Garden
of Eden and the ancient city of Babylon)
Quote from BOOK OF YASHER – The book of Yasher is also referred to in
the Book of Yehoshua and Second Shamuel.
Yasher
11 - 1 And Nimrod son of Cush was
still in the land of Shinar, and he reigned over it and dwelt there, and he
built cities in the land of Shinar.
2 And these are the
names of the four cities which he built, and he called their names after the
occurrences that happened to them in the building of the tower.
3 And he called the
first Babel, saying, Because YHVH there confounded the language of the whole
earth; and the name of the second he called Erech, because from there YHVH
dispersed them.
4 And the third he
called Eched, saying there was a great battle at that place; and the fourth he
called Calnah, because his princes and mighty men were consumed there, and they
vexed YHVH, they rebelled and transgressed against him.
7 And
notwithstanding this, Nimrod did not return to YHVH, and he continued in
wickedness and teaching wickedness to the sons of men; and Mardon, his son, was
worse than his father, and continued to add to the abominations of his father.
8 And he caused the
sons of men to sin, therefore it is said, From the wicked goeth forth
wickedness.
14 And Abram knew
YHVH, and he went in his ways and instructions, and the YHVH his Elohim was with
him.
15 And Terah his father was in those days, still captain of the host of king Nimrod, and he still followed strange gods – End quote.
History records the
following about Nimrod:
“Nimrod, the King,
took a wife. The wife Nimrod chose was his mother. So the “son”
became both the husband and son of the mother. In effect making this
marriage a “trinity” union in as much as the “husband” was the same person as
the “son” united as “one” with the wife/mother. So Nimrod married his
mother, Semiramis, and she became the Queen of Babylon. It was Semiramis
from which the religion surrounding Nimrod and the planets (astrology)
evolved. Nimrod the mighty and ruthless murderer was killed for his
crimes against humanity by the sons of Noach. His body cut into pieces
and distributed all over his kingdom by his enemies. In the face of
Nimrod’s death, Semiramis had to somehow maintain her grip and power over the
people. In order to solidify her power she “invented” a religion for the
people that would keep Nimrod’s control over them even after his death.
She then gave birth to a son named Tammuz whom she claimed was the
reincarnation of Nimrod. So through the belief that Tammuz was
"Nimrod in the flesh" the queen was able to subdue the people of
Babylon. So Tammuz was “Nimrod in the flesh” and “one” with his father
who was “one” with his wife/mother through marriage… the unholy concept of a Trinity
is born.”
It is no coincidence
that the events of the previous parashah portion and the present portion are
defined by the wicked sin of ‘’incest’’.
Gen 11:3 And they said to each other, “Come, let us
make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and they
had asphalt for mortar.
Gen 11:4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves
a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens, and make a name for ourselves,
lest we be scattered over all the face of the earth.”
Gen 11:5 Then יהוה
came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.
Gen
11:6 And יהוה
said, “Look, they are one people and they all have one language, and this is
what they begin to do! And now, they are not going to be withheld from doing
whatever they plan to do.
Gen
11:7 “Come, let Us go there and confuse
their language, so that they do not understand one another’s speech.”
Gen
11:8 And יהוה
scattered them from there, over the face of all the earth, and they left off
building the city.
Gen 11:9 That is why its name was called Baḇel1, because there יהוה confused the language of all the earth, and from there יהוה scattered them over the face of all the earth. Footnote: 1Baḇel is derived from a verb which means “to confuse"
Amidst
this confusion and wickedness we have the introduction of the Messiahs
genealogy see

Kenaʽan. And they came to Ḥaran and dwelt there.
Gen
11:32 And the days of Teraḥ came to be
two hundred and five years, and Teraḥ died in Ḥaran.
Midrash
Speaking in Tongues:
‘’There’s a purposeful
connection between what happened on Mt. Sinai and in Acts 2. The two “miracles”
from Acts 2 that we always affiliate with ‘’Shavuot’’ or Pentecost are the
tongues of fire resting on the people and the speaking of many languages (or
tongues).
Is this the first time
that fire had rested on people and other tongues been spoken? A well-known
Midrash, or Jewish commentary on Scripture, may cause us think twice about
saying, “yes,” to this question.
Shemot Rabbah, which
is Hebrew for “Great Exodus” records in 5:9, “On the occasion of the giving of
the Torah, the Children of Israel not only heard the Almighty’s Voice but
actually saw the sound waves as they emerged from Elohim’s mouth. They
visualized them as a fiery substance. Each commandment that left the Mighty One’s
mouth travelled around the entire camp and then came back to every Jew
individually.” It goes on to record Rabbi Yochanan saying, “the Mighty One’s
voice, as it was uttered, split up into seventy voices, in 70 languages, so
that all the nations should understand.” The number 70 in Scripture is usually
associated with “the nations.”
‘’70’’ is the gematria
of the Hebrew letter ‘’áyin’’ which means ‘’eye’’ and by extension to
understand and
Act 2:1 And when the Day of the Festival of Shaḇuʽoth
[a] had come, they were all with one mind in one place. Footnote: aWeeks.
Act 2:2 And
suddenly there came a sound from the heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and
it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 And
there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and settled on each one of
them.
Act 2:4 And they were all filled with the Set-apart Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them to speak.
Mar 16:17 “And
these signs shall accompany the ones who believe: In My Name they shall cast
out demons, they shall speak with renewed tongues,
At the tower of Bavel
(Babe), gates in the demonic realm were opened and caused havoc and confusion
amongst YHVH’s people to this day.
At Shavuot heavens gates were opened and YHVH’s Words, both understandable and non -understandable were poured out on YHVH’s people by the power of His Ruach Ha Kodesh to bring YHVH’s revelation, healing and blessing to all of mankind.
Synopsis
Alexander Hislop Book “The Two Babylons”
Its central theme is the argument that for the most part the Christian Church is the Babylon of the Apocalypse which is described in the Bible -Rev 17:5 The book delves into the symbolism of the image which is described in the Book of Revelation – the woman with the golden cup – and it also attempts to prove that many of the fundamental practices of the Church, and its Modus Operandi in general, stem from non-scriptural precedents. It analyses modern Christian holidays, including Christmas and Easter, attempts to trace their roots back to pagan festivals and attempts to show that many other accepted doctrines may not be correct. Hislop provides a detailed comparison of the ancient religion which was established in Babylon (allegedly by the Biblical king Nimrod and his wife, Semiramis) by drawing on a variety of historical and religious sources, in order to show that the most of the Christain Church is the same system as the Babylon that was mentioned by the apostle Paul in the first century (when he commented on the iniquity that was already creeping into the 1st century Christian church-2Thes 2:7) and the author of Revelation - Wikipedia
“The Queen of Heaven”
among all cultures and worshipped as the primary head of this false
religion. Even the children of Israel fell into the worship of Semiramis,
The Queen of Heaven, and YHVH sent them the prophet Jeremiah with a warning: Jeremiah
44:17-29 “
“Together, Semiramis
and her son/husband, Nimrod started this occult religion of sacrificing babies
to Moloch, aka Satan which they especially did on the winter solstice and the
vernal equinox in the spring also called “Easter ‘Sun’ Day.” Nimrod’s name
literally means “tyrant, rebellion.” The city of Rome was
once known as Saturnalia, “The city of Saturn,” and in the Chaldean
mysteries, the Babylonian dictator Nimrod was deified as Saturn. His birthday
was celebrated on December 25th or “Saturnalia.” In Chaldee, Saturn
is spelled as “STUR” which totals 666:
Shin = 60
Taw = 400
Waw (U) = 6
Resh = 200
Grand Total = 666
Semiramis gave birth on December
25th to a son named Tammuz (Ezekiel 8:14) and she ordered
the Babylonians to go into the groves (forest) and place a gift under the tree
to honor Nimrod who was “cut down” like a tree (Isaiah
14:12-19). She also ordered the people to cut down a tree, bring it into their
homes and decorate it with silver and gold balls to symbolize Nimrod’s
testicles (Jeremiah 10:3-4).”
“Antiochus
Epiphanies was also one of the many historical Anti-Messiahs (Antichrists)
whose given name “Epiphanies” adds up to 666 in the Greek
alpha-numberic system.
These were the new laws that Antiochus set up:
You shall profane the Sabbath.
You shall change
the set times (festivals) and laws.
You shall set up idols. (Including phallic symbols or church towers over your
places of worship)
You shall eat unclean animals.
You shall not circumcise.
You shall forget Torah.
The persecutions began in 167 B.C. in the days of Antiochus, but 3.5 years
later, the Temple was taken back and rededicated in 164 B.C. This became known
as “The Feast 0f Dedication” (Chanukkah) which
our Messiah observed in John 10:22.
These laws created by an Antichrist leader named Antiochus are the very same
laws that Constantine would later repeat and this is what the entire Christian
world is living by today and what will be expected in the Great Tribulation!
False religion like
the Tower of babel is a place of false security. Nimrod perhaps thought that
they could create a structure that would save them from another flood and the
coming wrath of YHVH.
Modern theology
assures us that YHVH will never curse mankind again because we are living in
the dispensation of grace. The teaching of scripture is that Yahshua came to
deliver us from the curse.
Bar’chu et YHVH ha-m’vorach, Baruch YHVH ha-m’vorach l’O’lam va-ed! Baruch ata YHVH Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim, v’na-tan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
Bless YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH, the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have selected us from among all the peoples, and have given us your Torah. Blessed are you, YHVH, giver of the Torah. Amein.
