You know..
Heaven is in the sky and that bronze age men built a tower super high. God was afraid that mankind might sneak into heaven.

All of mankind spoke one language before the tower building and all known languages were created immediately proceeding the tiff.

Where the h*ll is the Tower?

How high could it have really been? If it was only 3 or 4 stories high, why would god have cared when he supposedly knew that in about four thousand more years mankind would make it beyond the moon.





the tower of babel means the tower of confusion: There is no literal tower but the meaning of this story is God decided if man could overcome the confusion he had of God he would repent (return) to his original state of consciousness which was God consciousness: Since man's purpose is to uplift the lower levels of consciousness, their desire to leave this work and return was prohibited just like a person wouldn't be able to leave the military just because he didn't want to finish his course. Jesus explain those who are outside of the Kingdom (those who have not returned to the inner state of God consciousness) are kept blind so they can't repent or return. In short the Bible is a code that explains those who had a higher consciousness were made to return to a lower level because they agreed to help the lower level rise up higher. Once they put in their time, and come to the end of their generation or doing their time, they can return. I returned!

How bout you do a 180 and return yet again
