Genesis 11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
The ‘tower’ seems to be an innocent and industrious project until we discover the true intent behind it. The plot is twofold, first to open a portal to the heavenly realm, and second to Kill God.
One of the many names for Nimrod, the foreman of this project, is Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh was a vile, filthy, man. Yet the myth says of him that he was “2/3 god and 1/3 man.” Numerically speaking we see immediately the significance of the description, that being, the .666 is two-thirds.
Gilgamesh set up tyranny, he opposed YHVH and did his utmost to get people to forsake Him. Therefore we should translate Genesis 10:8-10 to read, “Cush begat Nimrod; he began to be a tyrant in the earth. He was a tyrannical hunter in opposition to the Lord. Thus it is said, “Nimrod the tyrannical opponent of YHVH.””
The Gilgamesh Epic describes the first “God is Dead” movement. In the Epic, the hero is a vile, filthy, perverted person, yet he is presented as the greatest, strongest, hero that ever lived. Gilgamesh devises a plan: that the one who sent the Flood, so he will not trouble them anymore, Gilgamesh sets out to kill the perpetrator.
Psalm 2:1-5 “Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.”
Jubilee 10:18-21 And in the three and thirtieth jubilee, in the first year in the second week, Peleg took to himself a wife, whose name was Lomna the daughter of Sina’ar, and she bare him a son in the fourth year of this week, and he called his name Reu; for he said: ‘Behold the children of men have become evil through the wicked purpose of building for themselves a city and a tower in the land of Shinar.’ For they departed from the land of Ararat eastward to Shinar; for in his days they built the city and the tower, saying, ‘Go to, let us ascend thereby into heaven.’ And they began to build, and in the fourth week they made brick with fire, and the bricks served them for stone, and the clay with which they cemented them together was asphalt which comes out of the sea, and out of the fountains of water in the land of Shinar. And they built it: forty and three years [1645-1688 A.M.] were they building it; its breadth was 203 bricks, and the height (of a brick) was the third of one; its height amounted to 5433 cubits and 2 palms [9550 feet!], and (the extent of one wall was) thirteen stades (and of the other thirty stades {Greek unit of measurement, the stade, the distance covered in the original Greek footraces (about 600 feet [180 metres])}).) 7800×18,000 feet
A mile is 5280 feet … just so you know…
