Genesis
11:1-9 tells of the origin of ALL nations, tribes, tongues, and cultures. The
world of men is simply revelation of the complete devastation of the fall, and of
man’s complete depravity in it. It is the “natural” result of the consuming of
the forbidden fruit in the garden.
Ezekiel 28:2 "Son of
man, say to the prince of Tyre, Thus says the Lord GOD: "Because your
heart is proud, and you have said, 'I am a god, I sit in the seat of the gods,
in the heart of the seas,' yet you are but a man, and no god, though you make
your heart like the heart of a god--
John 18:
36 Jesus answered, "My kingdom
is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have
been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom
is not from the world."
37 Then Pilate said to him, "So you are a
king?" Jesus answered, "You say that I am a king. For this purpose I
was born and for this purpose I have come into the world--to bear witness to
the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to my voice."
The
Kingdom of God not only has its origins in heaven, it also manifests in a
completely different manner. God does not redeem cultures, He redeems His
elect.
Rev 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, 10 and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth." (Genesis 12;1-3; Galatians 3:7-9)
