How False Religions Began At The Tower Of Babel — And Why You Missed It! — Michael Heiser

****Disclaimer**** The title of this video implies that if there are false religions, then there must be a true one—and that is Christianity. Believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour today!!!✝️✝️✝️✝️ What is the Gospel: https://youtu.be/XlI8vVkTQcQ The Old Testament presents the Tower of Babel event as the pivotal moment when humanity’s unity and knowledge of the true God fractured after the Flood. Prior to Babel, everyone recognized Yahweh as the true God, but at Babel, humanity rebelled by building a ziggurat—a temple complex meant to bridge heaven and earth and invoke false gods' presence—directly opposing God’s command to spread across the earth. As punishment, God confused their language, scattered the nations, and assigned each nation to a “son of God” or divine being, who was meant to rule justly but instead led their people into idolatry and chaos. Israel alone remained Yahweh’s chosen portion, called to be a kingdom of priests mediating between God and the nations, embodying faithful worship amid a corrupt world. This division underpins the biblical worldview of spiritual conflict, where Israel and Yahweh stand opposed to surrounding nations and their false gods, a theme that shapes much of the Old Testament and extends into the New Testament, influencing understandings of spiritual warfare, divine sovereignty, and humanity’s ultimate destiny. Key passages such as Deuteronomy 32 and Psalm 82 illustrate this cosmic geography of divine rule, while stories like Naaman’s healing emphasise Yahweh's unique dominion and covenantal relationship with Israel. Overall, the Babel narrative explains the origin of false religions and sets the stage for God’s redemptive plan through Abraham’s seed—the Messiah—aimed at reclaiming and blessing all nations. #religion #babylon #babel #deception #disorder #demonic #theology #bible #bibleverse #jesus #gospel #church #salvation #michaelheiser #genesis #flood #oldtestament
