The New Tower Of Babel with Charlie Kirk - Part 1

Real Life presents the Jack Hibbs podcast with intention and boldness to proclaim truth, equip the saints, and impact our culture. Hey everybody, welcome to Real Life and we are going to be having an amazing time right now. We hope you enjoy it. Charlie Kirk and I are going to be talking about Genesis 11 and how it applies to our world today. What's going on in the world and what's happening in relation to Genesis 11? You might be shocked. So listen, be blessed by this. You can get the outlines of this podcast by going to jackhibbs.com slash podcast. Today, if this podcast lifts you up and encourages you to live a more fulfilled life in Christ, then make sure you leave us one of those five star ratings. To us, that's like saying amen or yes. Then that rating will encourage others to listen. Now open your hearts to what God's word has to say to you. Here is Jack Hibbs. Jesus said that in the last days before, he returns that it would be as it were in the days of Noah and as in the days of Sodom and Gomorrah, but we don't often think about as it was in the days of Nimrod. And if you're a student of eschatology, which is Bible prophecy, the prophetic word of God, which is 27 to 30 percent of the Bible, Nimrod is understood in Bible prophecy as a forerunner, a prototype of what we would call today the anti-Christ. First John tells us that there's many anti-Christ that they are against Christ, but he said there's also the anti-Christ that's coming. Well, Nimrod is a forerunner of that. We're going to talk about that tonight and we're going to bring together what happened then and what is happening now and there's nobody better to talk about this stuff than Charlie's seeing how you are the official reset guy and everything else. Yeah, you know, Jack, thank you for that. And all of you, which mostly Jack, you know, I get stopped in the grocery store. I get stopped at airports. You're the great reset guy. What does that even mean? I'm the one that's doing the great reset. No, I mean, so thank you, Jack. I get all sorts of wonderful letters in the mail and death threats and all thanks to you and I'm eternally grateful to be known as the great reset guy. But tonight we're going to build off of that and add a new wrinkle, but also if you've not heard any of those discussions before, that's okay because this is also a really important place to start. And so Jack and I were texting back and forth. I said, Jack, I've been really diving into Genesis 11 and I think there's so much to be learned from this for the time that we're in, where we are headed. And also this idea does the Bible clearly speak to political matters. Yeah, it's all right there in Genesis 11. It's all right there. So it's amazing what we're going to be talking about tonight. And I'm so happy to know that Charlie was saying earlier today that Genesis 1 through 11 have become the most important parts of the Bible to him and my heart jumped inside of me. I don't know if many of you know that, but everything about the entire Bible, all 66 books, is really, really condensed in the first 11 chapters of the book of Genesis from redemption, salvation, globalism, obviously creation and so much more. It's just absolutely incredible. So he's been studying that. We're going to be looking into it and it's a great time right now because of all the talk about globalism, all the talk about nations basically breaking down. Think about it. It's almost as though things are so skewed that who's in charge here and filling the gap and the void are some institutions that are even non-elected type institutions like the World Economic Forum. I mean, these are non-elected people. Yeah, and this text is so amazing because it shows what man tries to do every time they try to get power. And this pattern will replicate itself whether it's in the fertile crescent, whether it's in Mesopotamia, whether it's in the Nile River, man will always act the same. And that's why Genesis 1 through 11 is so important and why every pastor in America should slow down and teach the truth there. It tells you why you're here. It tells you what type of being you are. It tells you that you need Jesus Christ. It says it so clearly that you need redemption that God is going to send a rescue mission because he loves you so much. It says explicitly that God loves you in the first 11 books of Genesis. So it all lays it out. But it also lays out this idea of what happens when human beings defy God and they try to do things for themselves, especially when it comes to political matters. And so I hear from pastors all the time. The Bible doesn't speak clearly about politics. It's just I only preach the gospel. I hear this. It's nauseating. I'm sure you hear it too. This right here is an explicitly political text. So what is politics? Let's just put all of everything you think you know about politics. Let's put aside. It's very simple. Politics is human beings organizing to decide who gets power. That's it. Stop talking about Republicans or Democrats. All that stuff is just temporary manifestations of an eternal question of who gets power. Now in Genesis 11, they say it explicitly. That's right. They say and this is important first because it's called the Tower of Babel. But it really is more accurately the city of Babel. Yeah. And I want to zero in on that. The tower is important because they wanted to reach the heavens and that kind of gets the headline. But the very lead is that they wanted to build a centralized community as city for themselves. And they made a decision to deny and defy God. That's right. We're going to do this for ourselves. We're going to do something so great in the earthly and temporal realm that we don't need God. And that right there is a direct challenge to what was set up in the first 10 books before that. That there is a God and you are not him. That's right. And in Genesis 11, Nimrod and his people said, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, we're going to make a name for ourselves. That's right. We're going to we don't need God. Look at how amazing. And this is why the text is so incredible. It tells you the type of bricks that they're using. That's right. This shows you that this really happened by the way. This is not some sort of fable. Thank you. It's not some sort of fairy tale. This is real. This happened. This is history. It's trying to teach us that we're always because of our broken nature as it says in Genesis 6, the heart of man, that if we are not self-aware and constantly making sure we're oriented to God, then we are going to do things for ourselves and it's going to end terribly. That's one of the things that Genesis 11 is trying to teach us. Isn't it interesting that Nimrod said, let's build a city. First time we ever hear that. And cities are known for the propagation of evil. That's right. And danger. Man doesn't do well in cities unless God is the builder. It's interesting. Both the Torah, the first five books of the Bible and Thomas Jefferson both hated big cities. The American founders read this text and they designed a system of government to say we do not want all this power in cosmopolitan, densely populated urban areas. In fact, the founding fathers were so biblically literate. If you read the Federalist papers, Alexander Hamilton, Federalist 47, Federalist 51, Federalist 58, they talk time and time again about the heated passions in cities where ranker, rumor, and half-truths reign supreme where the mobs and the masses are able to get what they want but reason goes to die. God tried to warn us in Genesis 11. Hey, if you guys build these cities, all of a sudden you're not going to be governed by your reason, your rationality, or your logic, but it's going to be the tyranny of the clamoring majority. My goodness, you look at federalism, states rights, you look at this idea of the local church. All of that is saying we learn the lesson from Genesis 11 and we're not going to try to build something central or something big or something strong and you see that it direct odds with the world economic form with what they're doing right now. The world economic form in Klaus Schwab, what are they doing? They might as well sing this as their national anthem or their international anthem, right? We are going to make a city for ourselves. We're going to do this thing. We're going to change human nature. We're going to be like gods. Now, the first 11 books of Genesis, and Genesis 11 combines almost every one of these forces together, is it sets up the necessary distinctions of which we take for granted. One of the tricks of the enemy, and the end times talk about this, and Jack, you know that you talk about this so brilliantly and wonderfully, is going to be the intentional blurring of distinctions that allow us to be free, that allow us to grow closer to God, and every single one of them is laid out in the first 11 books of Genesis. For example, the distinction of God and man that we are not God and we should worship God, but we are made in the image of God, as it says in Genesis 126 and 127, as it says in Genesis 11, which is the verse that changes everything. In the beginning, God created the heavens in the earth. That means that there is a being greater than you that has a purpose for you to be here, that your existence is not a mistake. The world economic form does not believe that. The world economic form that recently met, like you said in Davos, they produced, they published a bunch of papers, but one of the papers that they put out was a discussion that they had regarding the role that faith plays in the world economic form. Now you see, Jack, what are you guys talking about world economic form? It's a gathering of some of the world's most powerful financiers, bankers, politicians, movers and shakers. We'll sum it up that way. These people go there and they get these ideas from globalists. Then they come back to their countries and they all so to speak, attempt to speak the same language, environmentalism, socialism, whatever is them. Let's all talk these talks. We go there to Davos, we unify our speech, we try to assemble what was decembled at Babel, we're trying to put it together and then we're going to launch it in the world and talk one language, which very interesting is, and I just read it today, on faith, they recognize that faith is a vital role to the human machine, to humanity, and they seek to work with faith-based people, individuals, because it's such a vital role. They said that they want to meet with faith leaders of the world. They said that they want to have a dialogue with them, and then they published, I think it was seven concerns that the world economic form has regarding religious people, and they listed them. One of them, I'll bring up a few of them, my memory right now, one of them is that one of the problems with religious people that they need to get over is that they are not willing to experience change. Well, I disagree. Jesus changed us dramatically and radically. They said that religious people are hard, determined, and set on the belief that abortion is wrong, and that globalism is wrong. That needs to change. So what's what they're doing? They're embracing. This is kind of scary, and then I'll let Charlie go. They're talking about faith in the need for it, but they want to control the dialogue and the issues of what faith is defined as, and so when you read it, you come away with this. Watch out for pastors who are globalist-minded. You say, I would never listen to a globalist-minded pastor. There are pastors who are embracing, for example, socialism. There are pastors who are embracing racism, LGBTQ, ad whatever. How did this happen? It's part of a global agenda, and it's happening worldwide at the same time. Absolutely remarkable. They said it. They're not hiding it. The question is, wherever you fellowship, is it happening in your religious denomination or faith-based group, you need to be careful. These days are here. What's very interesting is the fake and false religions of the isms. Marxism, LGBTQism, wokeism. What we know, obviously through our common sense and our life and shared existence, but also what we know in Genesis 11 is that there is this gap between God and man. We believe only Jesus Christ can bridge that gap because Jesus is God. That's right. It is God becoming man. The human beings do wacky and weird stuff to try to bridge that gap, and in reality, they actually usually create more distance when they start to embrace these isms. Now, when you read the first 11 books of Genesis, I encourage you to do this understanding some backdrop that as this book was written, as Moses was given to this directly by God, the predominant view of the region and in the known world was paganism, was multiple God. There's a river God, there's a rock God, there's a sun God, there's all these different gods, and the contention of the Bible is that there is one God. That is such an unknown concept. What do you mean? There's one God. Not only is there one God, whatever he says happens, and God spoke it into existence. Yes. And God spoke it into existence, and he created distinction, and he created good from evil and man from woman, and God is not in nature. This idea that God is not nature was a history-changing idea that we take for granted. And guess what? That idea is now predominant here in America. It's called environmentalism. That's right. The Bible clearly states that you as a human being have dominion over the earth. It's a hierarchy, right? God over man, man over nature. There's a hierarchy to the existence. Radical environmentalism does not make that contention. They say man and nature are an equal footing if actually man might be subservient to nature, right? That's right. Where they'll go so as far to say that you should never disenfranchise the delta smell. What are you? You're just, you're a rather inefficient creature, you have to go to the restroom all the time, you fight, you go to prison, you murder each other, look at the beautiful delta smell. By the way, this is the one of the most ridiculous things we teach our kids that nature is nothing but serene. Nature is bitter and harsh and awful. The point I'm trying to make here, though, is that the Bible clearly lays out that these distinctions, this hierarchy is necessary for any sort of civilization to exist. It is no coincidence that as all of a sudden God scatters man throughout the earth, the very next chapter he tells Abram to get off his tail and go leave your father's home to go on an adventure. That's right. That is not a coincidence, that is by deliberate design. Out of paganism. Out of paganism. And so we right now, the world economic form, what is pervading our time is we are living, whether you realize it or not, in widespread paganism, in polytheism has re-emerged. Atheism is not as powerful as polytheism where everybody has their own viewpoint, their own God and their own view system. They say, well, Charlie, what's so wrong with that? Obviously, minus the scriptures where it says man will do whatever is right in his own eyes. It's very simple. If you have many gods, you have many moralities. If you have one God, you have one morality. This is why, as a country, we can't say, it's wrong to chop off an eight-year-old's private parts. Because if there's many gods, there's many moralities. My God, my belief says that that's perfectly fine. As we become less monotheistic and more polytheistic, aka shred the truth of the Bible as a society, you go what? You get into the moral chaos that Babel received. Which all these things that Charlie and I are talking about are real tangible four runners of a coming one-world economy, a coming one-world government, and look what we're seeing about a coming one-world police. This stuff is actually going on, and it all plays into it. You see, Jack, that's just crazy. It may sound crazy, but the Bible anticipated it. I'm concerned right now, personally, because I see America almost like a bomb, and TNT is written on it in the fuses burning, and that fuses got maybe 20 months on it left. Because if you're China or Russia, mainly China, whatever you're going to do in the world, more than balloons, whatever you're going to do, you're going to want to do before Joe Biden leaves office. Because weakness breeds violence. I don't know if you are aware of that, but look what's happening in the world around us right now. The ridiculous thing in Ukraine is sucking this nation dry of money. It's an ongoing disaster, but we're leaderless. What's happening? A destabilized world will be the cry of a population to bring in a strong leader, and that man could very well be alive today somewhere in the world. And this is an important point that destabilization is not an accident. It's the strategy. Demoralization is not an accident. It is the strategy. As they try to create the modern day equivalent of the city of Babel, they need to get America out of the way. America is a strong, independent nation full of tens of millions of people, and in this room, you see it, that are not going to go willingly along with the recreation of a city of Babel. So they have to do something to get us out of the way. So they're trying to break your resolve, and they know they can't go after every single one of you. So they try to pick off the people that are doing the work that advances liberty and exposes darkness. America is the last nation that stands in the way to a true global project. Now you might say, well, Charlie, what about China and Russia and all that? They want their own version of the Tower of Babel. But you know what? China and the American left are wonderful partners right now. They financed the woke left. They are cheering on critical race theory because they both had something in common. They both bitterly hate America. And they need to see America taken off the playing field. And so that's where the American people come in. It's the last best hope besides obviously Jesus Christ and the truth is your resolve and your commitment. And so there's so many of these different dynamics playing out right now. And I get asked all the time, you know, Charlie, how do you see this ending and how do you see this playing out? I want you to instead ask yourself the question tonight, what am I going to do? That's right. That's the much more important question because Jack will tell you how it ultimately is. Spoiler alert. God wins. Okay. Praise God. But we are going to be held to account to what did you do? Were you a spectator or a participant? And so the global game has come in right through America. We do not have a border right now in America. That's right. 8,000 people a day walk into our country. The idea of a nation is a biblical idea. The idea of a nation with borders and boundaries, which by the way implies humility and implies that we're not in charge of the whole world that we're going to govern ourselves. Everything that we learn in Genesis 11 about man trying to dominate, man trying to centralize, man trying to create a name for themselves. They think they can get to it very soon. But the question that is yet to be answered is, how will America play a long? This Jack Hibbs podcast as well as all the broadcast outreach opportunities are listener supported.
