Bible Question (short): where it all began in Genesis? |
Question (full): In The Beginning God created the Garden of Eden; is it not comprehensible that In The End He will again create the Garden of Eden, where it all began in Genesis? Genesis 11:9 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. Where was the first alphabet scripted? Do you think the fulfillment of prophesies are in Iraq? Genesis 11:4 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. That His promise to Abraham, to inherit the land is now in the process of the final stages? That the war in the land of Iraq just happens to be a coincidence and not related to Isaiah 14:4? That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! That Jesus shall choose Jerusalem again after these things happen? That Abraham was not allowed into the Promised land because the time was not up? That to indicate that the time was not yet, Abraham had to buy his grave site? What does Babel mean? (confusion), Babel Babylon (Greek form of Babel), is properly the capital city of the country which is called in Genesis Shinar, and in the later books Chaldea, or the land of the Chaldeans. The first rise of the Chaldean power was in the region close upon the Persian Gulf; thence the nation spread northward up the course of the rivers, and the seat of government moved in the same direction, being finally fixed at Babylon, perhaps not earlier than b.c. 1700.
