The narrative of the city of Babel is recorded in Genesis 11:1-9. Everyone on earth spoke the same language. As people migrated from the east, they settled in the land of Shinar. People there sought to make bricks and build a city and a tower with its top in the sky, to make a name for themselves, so that they not be scattered over the world. God came down to look at the city and tower, and remarked that as one people with one language, nothing that they sought would be out of their reach. God went down and confounded their speech, so that they could not understand each other, and scattered them over the face of the earth, and they stopped building the city. Thus the city was called Babel.
God, give me grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, Courage to change the things which should be changed, and the Wisdom to distinguish the one from the other. Living one day at a time, Enjoying one moment at a time, Accepting hardship as a pathway to peace, Taking, as Jesus did, This sinful world as it is, Not as I would have it, Trusting that You will make all things right, If I surrender to Your will, So that I may be reasonably happy in this life, And supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen.
It is difficult for us to make sense of the times we live in, but it is my opinion we must avoid using the Bible to try and predict when the end of times will come.
I'm liking all this Bible talk but I have to disagree with this statement. There are alot of prohecies in the Bible. Some fulfilled and some not. So avoiding using the Bible to make predictions is ignoring a big chunk of the Bible, and possibly the entire book of Revelation. I think God wants us to look for vague predictions to keep us guessing. Otherwise why are there so many prophecies in the Bible?
So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
