The Tower of Babel in The Era of Trump and The Internet

Genesis tells a story of the descendants of Noah becoming very smart after the flood because now there is only one language. All human beings can now understand each other and thus they can combine their knowledge - and figure out how to do all sorts of things that aren't necessarily in keeping with God's intention for mankind. In fact, they decided to build a tower in the land of Babel to connect with heaven and thus become as powerful as God Himself! However, God gets wind of the idea and doesn't approve. Indeed, he destroys the tower and scatters the people all over the earth so their language evolves in different ways and eventually they can no longer understand each other at all and the word "babel" comes to be synonymous with confusion.

Fast forward to the present. I recently read where Mark Zukerburg, the fellow who launched Facebook, has expressed regret that this miraculous site he thought would be a vehicle for bringing the world together in love, has instead spawned a culture encouraging people to write and post the most vicious hateful things imaginable. Like the people of Babel with their tower, the internet has created a way for everyone to communicate - but without spiritual awareness. We can all now speak the same language - but we don't have the sense to use our gift of gab as the creator intended. Indeed, the internet with it's constant images of violence has become an abomination working in total opposition to the will of any loving God. Sooo... how will God stop this scourge? In ancient times He simply destroyed the tower and language became scrambled and words no longer held meaning. Will He do the same thing today? Maybe He already has...

Enter Donald Trump. Interesting isn't it that Trump is known for his tower? Could Trump Tower be a modern day Tower of Babel - a gold monstrosity and an affront to all who believe in the value of modesty and humility? Now consider Trump himself. What is he most famous for? His daily tweets that have no relation to reality! What effect is this having on our society? It used to be that we honored someone who "kept his word" - now our country's leader shames such people for being "disloyal." His spokesperson claims there is no difference between truth and lies, saying there are only "alternative facts"! Where is this all heading? Will words come to no longer have meaning? Is this God's solution - that words become so disconnected from reality that we lose all faith in them and thus lose the ability to use them to make threats or design weapons? If that is indeed what's happening, if Trump's trash talk and threats encourage vulgarity to become so common place that hateful words no longer incite violence, then I guess that's a good thing but at what cost? If words no longer have meaning then they won't be able to be used to share ideas or make plans or create love either. It's hard to believe this is happening but the parallels to the ancient Biblical tale seem too obvious to ignore.

Time will tell. The full Moon solar eclipse on Monday August 7 symbolizes dark truths coming to light in the weeks ahead.

Meanwhile,
Keep calm and keep your word.
