Tower of Babel | Biblical Cosmology | Flat Earth Sermon

Before discrediting Biblical Cosmology, consider the following. As Christians, we believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God (2 Tim 3:16, 2 Peter 1:20-21). As a result, we believe people like Adam and Methuselah lived nearly a millennium (Gen 5:5, Gen 5:27), fallen angels procreated with human women and produced a race of demonic superhuman giants (Gen 6:1-5), a catastrophic flood subsequently engulfed the earth (Gen 7:17-24), and ancient Babylonians built a tower nearly reaching Heaven (Gen 11:1-9).

Contrary to modern claims that Genesis is a poetic rendering of fables, the Messiah Jesus, the Apostle Peter, and Jude affirmed the stories as valid historical events (Matt 24:37-39, 2 Peter 2:4-6, Jude 1:4-16). Moses also testified that he “wrote down everything the LORD had said” (Ex 24:4) and again Jesus confirms this is true (John 5:46).

In light of these supernatural beliefs, and many more—Christ’s healings & resurrection, Resurrection of Believers, Millennial Kingdom, New Heaven & Earth—is believing we live on a stationary (1 Chron 16:30) circular (Isa 40:22, Job 38:13-14) landmass covered by a molten glass (Job 37:18) dome (Eze 1:26) known as the “firmament” (Gen 1:6-7) really that big of a stretch? God made us a terrarium, and its existence points us to His existence (Rom 1:20). In fact, the Bible presents us with the Firmament (Gen 1:6) before it introduces us to the promised Messiah (Gen 3:15).

If we believe the Bible, we believe the earth was created before the sun (Gen 1:10), the sun was set inside the firmament and not 93 million miles away (Gen 1:14-18), the sun geocentrically circuits the earth within the firmament (Ps 19:4-6), and the sun—not earth—stood still in Joshua during the war with the Amorites (Josh 10:13). Moreover, observable science testifies to a small close sun due to the existence of Crepuscular Rays.

If there is a firmament with waters above it, what are the stars? Job indicates they are angels singing (Job 38:4-7). Before concluding this to be another laughable archaic “poetic” rendering of the cosmos instead of literal scientific fact, look into Sonoluminescence—the emission of light from imploding bubbles in a liquid when excited by sound—popularly named “Star in a Jar.” Sound in water makes stars.

There’s many other flat earth evidences witnessed by genuine scientific experiments—observable, testable, repeatable, and falsifiable—such as bouancy, density, and mass accounting for everything “gravity” accomplishes, the lack of curvature in geological surveys when earth ought to be curving 8in per mile squared (m² * 8), water always finding level, the unmoving Polaris known as the “North Star”, atmospheric lensing distorting objects at extended distances, and more.

Which brings me to my primary question in this post, why did God intervene at the Tower of Babel? If wicked men were building a tower into the vacuum of space, where they would simply suffocate and die, why confuse their language and halt the project?

At Babel, Nimrod and mankind as a whole intended to enter Heaven itself (Gen 11:4)—this Hebrew word “šāmayim” in this verse is the same “Gate of Heaven” in Gen 28:17 and the same “God in Heaven above” in Deut 4:39. God considered their plan to enter Heaven through the Firmament to be possible and took action (Gen 11:6-7). Man continues this nonsense to this day—we’ve launched nuclear weapons at the firmament during Operation Fishbowl (Operation Dominic I, 1962), just to see what would happen, of course.

The Book of Jasher 9:20-39 affirms this intent to make war in Heaven and sheds light on additional surrounding events. Before discrediting the book, you ought to know that the Book of Enoch is referenced or quoted in Jude 1:4, 1:6, 1:13, 1:14–15, 2 Peter 2:4, 3:13, and John 7:38. Likewise, the Book of Jasher is referenced or quoted in Josh 10:13, 2 Sam 1:18, & 2 Tim 3:8. The Biblical Canon is it’s own discussion we’ll table for now.

What are we to do with the Tower of Babel built to enter Heaven narrative? A fable or historical event? As for me and my house,

It’s a historical fact.

CORRECTION: In the opening statement, I accidentally said "sun made before earth" in Genesis 1, I meant to affirm the earth is made (Gen 1:9-13) before the sun (Gen 1:14-19).

It truly is amazing finding a preacher that is so in tune with today's problems like NASA. Find a preacher that has the same biblical cosmology has me is so awesome to see thank you for all your hard work keep it up. You are one out of a million.

[dpackman]

I was so confused for years because of the heliocentric lies we were taught in school. The Holy Spirit taught me about our biblical earth in 2017, and it changed my life forever, and it strengthened my personal relationship with God. This is what the enemy fears because our biblical earth leads to our creator. Thank you for teaching the truth about our biblical earth 🙏

[Komentarz_taktyczny]

I was raised in catholic family, so i never read the Bible and truly belive in God. Biblical Cosmology lead me to Jesus and Bible. Thank You Brother for this excellent teaching, it was very
encouraging.

[bennydavis]

So refreshing to find a pastor that speaks the truth and backs it up biblically. Thank you. Much needed in these times when a spritual war is taking place right in front of our eyes. About an hour away from you and would love to visit. Take care brother. Appreciate you.

[robshank]

Second watch. I love it. My eyes were opened in 2015. It’s been amazing seeing how many people are waking up. Great sermon pastor. God bless

[telefriend]

Finnally a Preacher who tells the truth about the so called planets. Thank you Lord🙏.

[LittleHouseOnTheMountain]

Isnt it beautiful that all things are centered around the earth and not the sun? Around His creation and His children? The place where His kingdom will reign? That we arent just some ball hurling through space at the mercy of the sun but rather fixed in place and held by His hand, underneath His dome of shelter? ❤ its beautiful

[flatearthbanjo]

Thanks for this sermon pastor, I'll be watching this today as well as mirroring it giving you credits and drawing more subscribers to your channel. The Flat Earth truth which brings Glory to our Lord as the Bible says "The Heaven's declare the Glory of God and the Firmament Shows his handwork" needs to get out there!

[StrummaChick]

Biblical cosmology is what brought me back to a relationship with our Father and His Son after a 16 year wayward worldly lifestyle.
The Holy Spirit has been guiding many people to or back to Him with this message.
Thank yo so much

[JustinKeyworks]

The Biblical cosmology makes so much more sense and gives a clear view of a God that is good and so much closer than I thought. Thank you Jesus for being a loving God that is truly closer to Your creation!

[moochiezpitt]

New sub. Saw this on Flat Earth Banjo's channel. Thank you for preaching the truth. God bless you.

[G-Hartle]

The Lord was leading me to look up flat earth again. (After scrolling past about 15 videos worth of propaganda I got to your sermon! haha) I learned about biblical cosmology in 2019, but then didn't continue in my knowledge (Discouraged by many believers and friends around me) and was deceived in my thinking to consider it not a major salvation issue so I just put it down and held onto the belief more privately. Thank you for your sermon and teaching!!! I'm excited to begin learning about bible cosmology again as this was such a massive revelation to me in 2019 about the love of God that we are the center of his creation. The apple of his eye. That all the bible can be taken in literal context. It's amazing seeing the world through the lens of the truth! Thanks again for the reminder and the encouragement that this is truth so yes it matters, and yes it has the power to turn people back to the Lord. Liked & Subscribed!

[Matty]

Amen!!! I wish all preachers were this awake! God bless Rich Tidwell!!❤️❤️🙏✝️✝️

[TheSteveMcbrayer]

One of the very best presentations of the biblical cosmology truth I've ever heard. And I've heard/seen a lot since having my eyes opened in 2015 to this truth. Thank you so very much!

[uobarbara]

Thank you pastor Rich! I’ll be sharing this with at least 2 pastors here in Louisville Kentucky area. I’ve been FE since 2020. It changed my heart! Will also be sharing with some new age universalists I used to be associated with. Praise God for all he’s created for us and then FINISHED for us! The Way. The Truth. The Life!

[samuel_rowbotham]

Dropping some fe, truth! It's starting to spread more and more! I've been fe almost 5 years now.

[holie]

thank you for teaching die biblical truth. I am from Austria, there are no preachers that tell the truth in Austria, at least I never heard of anyone. It requires faith and courage telling the truth.

[livemusic]

I am so very grateful for such a powerful, Bible-centered focus on the truth of God’s creation. Thank you! I will be sharing. Looking forward to hearing you speak with Eddie in an hour. So nice that the Masons and their role was touched on and that even the giant trees were mentioned.

[adriansullivan]

Pastor Rich, I wrote one comment yesterday and today I thought about how did enemy succeeded to deceive not just the world but the church as well in so many very important areas. And this thought came to my mind: church started to live as if this world was our true home, so we became an easy target to the enemy. We must repent ☘️
