NWO thinking goes back to Genesis, as does every idea, eventually. After Eden and the expansion of the world’s population, men entered into evil so great that God’s own very first New World Order reset had to be initiated: the destruction of all but eight persons. A fresh start.

Let’s do it right this time, humans.

But once more, more people meant more evil. Hearing of the history of the flood, and moving away from its Origin in Heaven, wicked men began to devise a way to guarantee there would be no recurrence.

Genesis 11 tells the story. The world’s people were united. Not united around God. Tragically, when humanity gets together, it is to spurn God in some way. Such was the case here. Tradition [Josephus] says that it was Nimrod, mentioned in the previous chapter as a “mighty hunter before (or against) the Lord”, who gained enough popularity among the assembled people to stage a rebellion against all things godly.

The idea was to have a tower that would reach to Heaven. For what purpose we are not told. But we speculate. Was it about running to safety if there were to be another flood? Surely only a few could be saved if the waters chased them into the tower. Or were there multiple towers? Archaeology confirms that.

Or perhaps it was something more sinister? Did little man think he could himself reach into the heavenly sphere and bring down this flood-producing Deity?

Whatever was on his mind, was nixed by the Almighty. People together, reasoned God, is not safe for My plan. I’ll have to split them up. Then comes the story of the confusion of languages that we learned as a child.

Here God was saying, stay apart. Let nations grow, but let no one ever rise again to bring the planet against Me. Dire consequences will follow.

Man, in verse 4, said, “Let us make for ourselves a name lest we be scattered…”

But in verse 8, God’s response: “So the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.”

So much for the one world government That arrangement of the geo-political world was already disavowed of God in those ancient times. So much for a world ordered by man, especially one man.
