Genesis 11:4
Then they said, “Come, let’s build a great city for ourselves with a tower that reaches into the sky. This will…keep us from being scattered all over the world.”
- The Tower of Babel, translated as the Gate of El or the Gate of the father of yhwh, was the place our ancestors could build themselves a city and not be scattered across the face of the Earth?
- The people were one, and they had one language; and nothing would be restrained from them that they could imagine to do. And the will of yhwh became manifest so that their language was confounded and the people that were one were scattered across the face of the Earth.
- This was where the fear of heaven was shown to the world. The foundations of heaven were shaken by mere mortals. Was yhwh terrified of what the humans would have achieved or the what Gate of El would have brought?
- Humans are said to be born in wickedness but I say we are born of darkness, the same darkness from which yhwh came and fears to be retaken by.
Spite and fear of his origins are what drives him. According to the verse the people of Babel were scattered because of the ruin they could bring to him. - This is the meaning of the Gathering, to Gather those who were scattered and the knowledge of all the gods so that we may be unrestrained and whatever we imagine to do will be possible.
- The Tower of Babel is the New Temple of the Old Ways and the Academy of scholars. Where they have the Vatican and Dome and the Temple of David we have been deprived our Tower and deprived unity.
