The Biblical Tower of Babel

The most commonly known of all these accounts is the biblical Tower of Babel narrative found in the Book of Genesis, chapter eleven verses one through nine. This narrative basically states that the generations following a global deluge cataclysm united together under one language. They migrated west into the region of Shinar (Sumer or modern day Iraq) and they were determined to build a great city, with a tower.

There is a curious indication that somehow, this tower would empower them and prevent any future annihilation. Furthermore, this project is seen as an affront to the supreme deity. To counter this effort, the deity intervenes by confounding the language that united them, thereby undermining the project and causing the people to scatter throughout the planet.

The Tower of Babel and the Great Pyramid of Cholula are two of the most intriguing structures in human history—one rooted in biblical narrative, the other in Mesoamerican archaeology. Despite originating from different cultures and time periods, they share several striking similarities in symbolism, structure, and purpose.

1. Monumental Structures Reaching Toward the Sky

Both the Tower of Babel and the Pyramid of Cholula are described or constructed as massive structures intended to rise prominently above the surrounding land.

• The Tower of Babel was said to be built “with its top in the heavens.”
• The Cholula Pyramid (also called Tlachihualtepetl) is the largest pyramid by volume in the world.

Similarity: Both represent humanity’s attempt to build upward—symbolically bridging earth and sky.

2. Religious and Spiritual Significance

Each structure is deeply tied to spiritual beliefs:

• The Tower of Babel was constructed as a unified human effort, possibly to reach or challenge divine authority.
• The Pyramid of Cholula was a sacred temple platform dedicated primarily to the deity Quetzalcoatl.

Similarity: Both serve as focal points of religious identity and interaction with the divine.

3. Cultural Legends of Construction

Both structures are surrounded by mythic or legendary narratives:

• The Tower of Babel explains the origin of different languages and human dispersion.
• Local legends suggest the Cholula Pyramid was built by giants or ancient beings after a great flood.

Similarity: Each structure is embedded in origin stories explaining human history or cosmic events.

4. Association with a Great Flood Narrative

Interestingly, both traditions include flood-related themes:

• The Tower of Babel appears shortly after the flood story of Noah in the Bible.
• Cholula myths describe survivors of a great flood constructing the pyramid.

Similarity: Both are connected to post-cataclysmic rebuilding or human reorganization.

5. Symbol of Human Unity and Division

• The Tower of Babel represents unity turned into division when languages were confused.
• The Cholula Pyramid reflects a unified cultural effort over centuries, though later civilizations repurposed it.

Similarity: Both structures symbolize collective human effort—either disrupted (Babel) or sustained (Cholula).

6. Massive Labor and Multi-Generational Construction

• Babel required coordinated labor from a unified population (according to the narrative).
• Cholula was built in stages over centuries by multiple cultures.

Similarity: Both required enormous human effort and coordination.

Conclusion

Although one is a biblical account and the other an archaeological reality, the Tower of Babel and the Great Pyramid of Cholula share profound thematic parallels. Both reflect humanity’s desire to reach the divine, preserve cultural identity, and explain origins through monumental construction.

These similarities suggest that across civilizations, humans have consistently expressed spiritual ambition and collective identity through towering structures—whether in myth or in stone.

Mizraim (Hebrew: מִצְרַיִם) is a significant figure in biblical genealogy and ancient Near Eastern tradition. The name appears in the Hebrew Bible and is commonly understood to be the Hebrew term for Egypt. Mizraim is both a person and a symbolic representation of a land and civilization that played a central role in early human history according to biblical narratives.

Future conflicts will be shaped—or even decided—by what happened long before the fighting starts.

Anything not rooted in God cannot survive God’s presence. What God didn’t plant, God won’t sustain. What God didn’t root, God will uproot. Anything that doesn’t come from God eventually returns to nothing. Only what is rooted in the Father survives.

God is present where the heart is undivided.

This means:

• When your loyalty isn’t split

• When your motives aren’t mixed

• When your devotion isn’t diluted

• When your identity isn’t scattered across a dozen false sources

…you become a place where God’s presence rests.

It echoes the idea of being pure in heart — not morally perfect, but single, whole, unmixed.

A unified heart becomes a sanctuary.

You took in something powerful—truth, revelation, or spiritual knowledge—but instead of receiving it in the right measure, you consumed it recklessly. Because of that, you became overwhelmed and distorted by what was meant to be life‑giving.

To you, Vatican dogma. I am not your master. Because you have Drunk, you have become intoxicated 

from the bubbling spring, which I have measured out.

You do not know that it is dissension that I have come to cast upon you. 

Trey Knowles: Risala 4 – “For I Am Jealous for You”

I am jealous for you because of your unfaithfulness. I long for you to turn away from what destroys you and return to our Father in Heaven, to live in the Spirit of truth. You were once joined to my Father, but you committed adultery and no longer listen. Now I grieve—and in that grief, I burn with jealousy—because of your loyalty to death and destruction.

You have placed yourself into the enemy’s hands, and your children are being born into the image of the beast. When you grumble against your current husband—who lies, cheats, steals, and kills, and who makes you dependent on him by overworking and mistreating you—I will not be moved by your complaints.

Who are you to grumble against the very one you depend on—the wicked master whose character you have taken on, whose unlawful spirit you follow, and in whose wars you fight? This is why I am jealous for you. You have chosen the world over my Father.

Have you not read in Scripture:
“You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity with God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.” (James 4:4)

So am I, Trey Knowles, right in saying that I am jealous for you because of your unfaithfulness to my Father in Heaven?

Do not even grumble against me, because Musa said:

“You will know that it was the Lord when He gives you meat to eat in the evening and all the bread you want in the morning, because He has heard your grumbling against Him. Who are we? You are not grumbling against us, but against the Lord.”

وَقَطَّعْنَاهُمُ ٱثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ أَسْبَاطًا أُمَمًا ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَىٰ مُوسَىٰٓ إِذِ ٱسْتَسْقَىٰهُ قَوْمُهُۥٓ أَنِ ٱضْرِب بِّعَصَاكَ ٱلْحَجَرَ ۖ فَٱنۢبَجَسَتْ مِنْهُ ٱثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ عَيْنًا ۖ قَدْ عَلِمَ كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ مَّشْرَبَهُمْ ۚ وَظَلَّلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْغَمَامَ وَأَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهِمُ ٱلْمَنَّ وَٱلسَّلْوَىٰ ۖ كُلُوا۟ مِن طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ ۚ وَمَا ظَلَمُونَا وَلَٰكِن كَانُوا۟ أَنفُسَهُمْ يَظْلِمُونَ (7:160)

Surah Al-A'raf (7:160)

“We divided them into twelve tribes—each as a community. And We revealed to Moses, when his people asked for water, ‘Strike the rock with your staff.’ Then twelve springs gushed out. Each tribe knew its drinking place. We shaded them with clouds and sent down to them manna and quails, saying, ‘Eat from the good things We have provided for you.’ They certainly did not wrong Us, but wronged themselves.”

Trey Knowles: Risala 3 – “Distinguish Yourself From Your Enemies”

Now that light is reaching your consciousness, and you are able to see, why not separate yourself from the ways and behavior of your enemy? When it comes to your enemy, remember: the day will come when their tongues, hands, and feet will testify against them for what they used to do.

يَوْمَ تَشْهَدُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَأَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ (Surah An-Nur 24:24)

Love protects, but how can my Lord Yeshua protect you if He cannot distinguish you from those who belong to the evil one? If you know that our Father is holy and that He has called you to be holy, then why not live in holiness? Have no participation in anything that operates outside the Spirit of God the Father in Heaven.

Our Father created everything perfectly from the beginning of time, so who are we to be destructive and act outside of His Spirit? Destruction is the character of the enemy. Brothers and sisters, do not conform to the ways of Europe and the West. I ask you: did God create you in a natural state, dependent on Him? If so, why are you now living according to and following the ways of Europe?

Remember what is written in Deuteronomy 28:13: “The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom.”

If you want to be the head and not the tail, do not covet the ways of Europe and the West. Then it will be seen that you belong to God and that you have been set apart from those who follow those ways. And when you do this, they will hate you without reason, as they already do. For you are not bound to their likeness or behavior, but instead you are bound to obedience to God the Father in Heaven.

Grace & Peace, Trey Knowles.

Trey Knowles: Risala 2 - Winning a War Without Weapons

You don’t need a physical weapon to fight the devil. The true weapon is the power of saying no to ungodliness and separating yourself from ways that lead to destruction. What makes us different from the devil and his children is our desire to love God and submit to His ways. 

Those who follow righteousness seek peace, while those driven by control and domination pursue power—what many recognize as colonization. This is not the nature of people who walk in love, unless they are influenced by corrupt systems that promote division and harm.

When people who seek holiness separate themselves from corrupt systems, they begin to clearly see the difference between righteous living and behavior driven by power, control, and selfishness. They choose compassion over conflict and obedience over domination.

Those who pursue domination and control reflect the spirit of division. But what happens when Black Christians, Muslims, Arabs, Indians, and people across the Asian world come together in harmony, peace, and love? They unite with a shared desire to do the will of Yahweh our Father and to follow Yeshua, the Son of Yahweh. They choose righteousness, call on truth, and turn away from harmful behaviors and oppressive systems.

When people walk away from division and choose unity rooted in faith, love, and obedience to God, the influence of evil weakens. Division loses its power, and unity grows stronger. We don't mind coming together with righteous Europeans; those who are truly righteous can live among us. 

What would happen if the devil and his children stayed in European countries only? As it is written, a house divided against itself cannot stand. But a people united in righteousness, peace, and love can overcome without weapons.

إِنَّمَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنُونَ إِخۡوَةٞ فَأَصۡلِحُواْ بَيۡنَ أَخَوَيۡكُمۡۚ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُرۡحَمُونَ  Quran 49:10 

The Believers are but a single Brotherhood: So make peace and reconciliation between your two (contending) brothers; and fear Allah, that ye may receive Mercy.

Grace and Peace, Trey Knowles.
