The Next Tower of Babel

Will the next Tower of Babylon be in Saudi Arabia?  It is in the process of being built now.  In what is being called the Kingdom Tower and is considered the first phase of what is known as the Kingdom City.  Scary, well yes!  It is being built by Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.  The company building it is Binladen Group.

For those of you who do not know about the Tower of Babel, it was built in the time of Genesis in the bible.

Genesis 11:1-9 now the whole earth used the same language and the same words. It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.  They said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly.” And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.  They said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”  The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.  The LORD said, “Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.  “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another’s speech.”  So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of the whole earth; and they stopped building the city.  Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

The next one is to be in Saudi Arabia. It is to be 3,280 feet high and cover a 2 mile square area and 5.4 million square feet.    Now tell me why one person should have such wealth?  Think of the families that could be helped with this extravagance.  Not to mention building worldwide popularity.  I do not think all of this is going to be for the good.  Thank you America for funding this Kingdom City!   You can’t do without your gasoline.  So you will be in the kettle in a slow cooker until you have completely, in your comfort, burned to death.

At what price will it take for us to wake up?  Are we really this stupid?  God help us and by the way HE is the only one who can!  I am beginning to feel like one crying in the wilderness!
