Who hasn’t heard about the Tower of Babel? It’s about some arrogant people who went to war against God and lost everything in the process (Bereishis 11:1). They build a really high tower to challenge Him, so God came down and destroyed it together with their dreams of a new world order. Then He dispersed them in different directions with different languages, and that was that.
Well, not exactly. Even since man got sent off in different directions he has tried to create new world orders everywhere he has gone. Eventually he put together massive armies and spent years at war conquering weaker peoples to expand his empire and make it last forever, only to be conquered by a different one. The Third Reich was just the most recent attempt to do the same thing.
Until today. As to be expected, it is happening again because man never really changes, just his means of attack-and-conquer. Thanks to technological advancements, it is possible today to take over the entire world without firing a single shot or sending a single missile. And it can be so quietly and subtly that the average person has no clue that they are falling under “foreign” rule, or cares that it is happening—for now.
Whoever controls the money and technology today controls the world today, and that is a few VERY wealthy and VERY crafty people with world visions that most of us would not agree with. Most don’t believe in God, and if they do believe in some form of higher authority it is a god made in man’s image, and not the other way around.
They didn’t get to where they are today because of their wisdom. They got there because they were in the right place at the right time to take advantage of other people’s needs and weaknesses. Most societies are not wisdom-based. They are supply-and-demand marketplaces, and you don’t have to be wise to rise to the top of them, just tech-savvy. Mazel helps too.
The first Migdal Bavel was built in central Mesopotamia, because that was where most people lived at the time. It was constructed kabbalistically, and was a lot more spiritually-sophisticated than the Torah makes it out to be. There was a kabbalistic method to their material madness (Hakdamos uSha’arim, Sha’ar 7, Ch. 6, Os 5).
The latest Migdal Bavel is all over the world. It is a construct of great wealth and powerful connections that span the globe, and perhaps even spill over into space. It is so massive, so all-encompassing that it is impossible to fully fathom or appreciate what has been built over the last fifty years, and right under our distracted noses. It is unstoppable at this point.
By man, at least. Like Nimrod before them, the leaders of the newest world order do not fear God, only losing money and power only. But that didn’t stop God from destroying his tower and putting Nimrod back in his place. And though today’s megalomaniacs feel invincible and have no clue about where history is currently holding, they will find out, like Nimrod before them.
So many pieces of history dovetailing perfectly. That’s gotta mean something.
