Break Up Into Different Languages

“And the ark rested…upon the mountains of Ararat [in what is now eastern Turkey].” (Genesis 8:4)

The biblical database informs us that Noah’s family and the animals remained on the ark for a year while the waters – and tectonic activity – subsided and the grounds was dry and stable. It’s to be expected that once they disembarked from this horrible imprisonment they scattered in all directions.

One group certainly traveled east after leaving the ark on Ararat, as a map showing their itinerary specifically stated as being that they “journeyed from the east” to Mesopotamia, was distinctly not north and west, the direction from Ararat. (Genesis 11:1)

This was when Pangea was breaking into continents, but this still doesn’t account for this group westward approach to Shinar.

This was also a time when people lived for 400-500 years, with exponential population growth driving expansion in every geographical direction in search of sustenance and living space, the true “hunter-gatherers.”

Consistent with a biblical perspective of the post-flood era populating the whole earth, anthropological evidence dates China’s Yellow River basin homeland back to Neolithic settlements, i.e. spanning the flood in the same Bronze Age as Sumer. The Xia dynasty, established by the “likely” legendary Yu the Great ruled between 2205 and 1766 BC, the same time frame as the long-lived therefore also deemed “legendary” founders of the Sumerian civilization. China’s 5,000-year legacy of language, culture, and institutions makes it a contender for the world’s longest-lasting continuous civilization.

The Indus Valley Civilization also known as the Harrapan Civilisation, in the northwestern regions of South Asia, also spanned the flood in the Bronze Age, from 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. Consistent with the map of Pangea, it spanned much of Pakistannorthwestern India, and northeast Afghanistan. It is famous for its advanced urban planning, water supply and drainage systems, and techniques of handicraft and metallurgy which were taught by the fallen angel (Book of Enoch chapter 3). The main cities contained between 30,000 and 60,000 individuals, with between one and five million subjects of its oppressive rule. 

So yes, exactly like refugees from European empires heading to America, the record that “they” came from the east makes perfect sense.

 

until “they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt / stayed there.” (Genesis 11:2)

The deduction that can be drawn from the fact that they crossed many habitable rivers on their journey west is that the plain in the land of Shinar was not something new but useful they discovered while traversing undiscovered territory like Lewis and Clark traversing Northwest America, but the whole purpose in their undertaking, like Lewis’s and Clark’s search to locate the Northwest Passage to the Pacific Ocean.

This particular plot of land was just as valuable in realizing their Manifest Destiny to expand their dominion under their god across the world as the Louisiana Purchase was to the United States.

“And they said one to another

  1. Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and [with this source of power]
  2. make us a name / achieve “Fame!” as detailed in the relevant post meaning “I’m gonna live forever!”,
  3. lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:3-5)

They were not worried about being scattered in the sense of migrating. They were concerned about being scattered in the sense of loss of unifying power, as was built into the American Constitution’s division of power divided into three branches, which in 2026 has been overridden by President Trump’s backers in each of the three branches.

They are a people group who left Noah’s leadership in the mountains of Ararat then rejected leadership in the eastern settlements to found their own “one nation, under god”.

They are not the whole group of settlers. They are the decision makers, the rulers, the elite at the top of the heap of the mass of impoverished workers tagging along hoping to benefit from their wealth-producing schemes, like the masses of immigrants who flock to the United States as its Manifest Destiny expanded from half the continent of North America to the whole earth.

“And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.” (Genesis 11:1)

Secular linguistics support this biblical report that during the last ice age, corresponding to the climactic events of Noah’s flood. a single Superlanguage was spoken.

Those of us raised in Sunday School would immediately jump to the conclusion that this must be the language of the Bible. Hebrew, right?

But the oldest artifacts of a written language still in existence, dated to about 3100 BC, i.e. ~ 1,000 years before the flood establish that this single language was the Sumerian.

A language isolate, i.e. original, not a creole mix like European with non-European, or a derivative like American from British, Sumerian flourished both before the flood and during the post-flood reconstruction of Sumerian culture at Babel. When Cushite Nimrod / Hammurabi seized the city-states Erech / Uruk, Calneh, the capital of the minor kingdom of Unqi and Accad / Akkad , capitol of the Akkadian empire, his replacement of his older cousin’s Akkadian language with his Sumerian language unequivocally established that the biblical account of one language is not a passing observation, but the notation of its use as a political tool uniting a variety of people under one rule.

Although Sumerian was quickly replaced as a spoken language by Akkadian, it continued in written usage within its original boundaries. “The small number of its native speakers was entirely out of proportion to the tremendous importance and influence Sumerian exercised on the development of the Mesopotamian and other ancient civilizations in all their stages until the beginning of the Christian era.

What about Hebrew? YHVH’s prophets were documenting YHVH’s perspective on life, the universe and everything. The oldest existing Hebrew manuscripts are The Dead Sea Scrolls which were copied sometime between 200 BC and 100 AD from earlier manuscripts, and the only reason these survived is that they were hidden for centuries,

So the lack of material evidence for YHVH’s Hebrew language co-existing with the Adversary’s Sumerian language does not prove that it wasn’t there. Copies of the Book of Enoch found among the Dead Sea Scrolls at Qumran prove that the book was accepted as scripture at the time it was copied and hidden. In the book Enoch commands his son Methuselah to preserve, i.e. copy and hide the book unto future generations, indicating the common practice of destroying YHVH’s word.

And in consequence, YHVH went right back at ’em: “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD God, that I will send a famine in the land…of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.” (Amos 8:11-12)

So it should come as no surprise that the oldest known Hebrew manuscript of Genesis was copied in the 10th century AD Aleppo Codex, and that this was destroyed in anti-semitic riots in 1947, leaving the oldest complete Hebrew copy of the Torah as the Leningrad Codex dating to 1008/1009 CE / AD.

“And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. And the LORD said, Behold,

  1. the people is one / united,
  2. and they have all one language;
  3. and this they begin to do:
  4. and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do…

So the LORD scattered them [exactly what they tried to prevent] abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth:” (Genesis 11:5-9)

“Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.” (Isaiah 24:1)

It is commonly taught that God imposed different languages on different groups as a miraculous event, but it is more likely that language changes occurred as a natural process of isolation between groups of workers on the Babylon Project, exactly as occurred during the Manhattan Project where the scientists’ need for open collaboration were overruled by the military’s insistence on security procedures. Every position at NASA, is assigned a security clearance: level 4 “special-sensitive” jobs involve top-secret information, level 3 involves generally secret information, level 2 is a noncritical but still sensitive position. The secret aspects of each particular work sector are communicated through words known only to that group with even non-secret work terms specific to that group.

We can also certainly expect that some desperate and brave people developing secret plans to flee slavery used YHVH’s hidden words to communicate plans among the group, as was done in America’s own Underground Railroad.

From Genesis 10:5-31

  1. By these were the isles of the Gentiles / Japhethites / Europeans…
  2. the sons of Ham / Africans…
  3. the sons of Shem / Middle to Far Easterners…

divided in their lands, after their tongues…

  • Deliberate adoption of distinctive language norms in addition to dress, adornment, gesture, etc. slang or jargon, pronunciation, morphological processes, syntactic constructions, and so on.

The Adversary’s continuous regathering of all the peoples of the world under his control is apparent in the American-led order that emerged after World War II. No global architecture in human history has been as sweeping, as durable, or as dominant as American economic and military dominance through the world’s reserve currency and primary mechanism of global finance. The U.S. dollar hegemony is the modern equivalent of a one-world language. Money talks.

This can not be countered by a rival political or social movement, but by the Highest Power:

The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet [explicit reference to sexual reproduction of human descendants], until Shiloh /He whose it is, the One who is entitled to the scepter come; and unto HIM shall the gathering of the people be.” (Genesis 49:10)

At the same time that the Adversary’s One World socio-political-religious plan was being limited through multiple languages, YHVH was spreading knowledge of YHVH through universal language. We can date the beginning of this language by association with Shem’s son Aram.

Aram-aic is the ancient language of the Semitic / Shemite]family group, which includes the Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Arameans, Hebrews, and Arabs…In a phenomenal wave of expansion, Aramaic spread over Palestine and Syria and large tracts of Asia and Egypt, replacing many languages

For about one thousand years it served as the official and written language of the Near East, officially beginning with the conquests of the Assyrian Empire, which had adopted Aramaic as its official language, replacing Arphaxad’s Akkadian.

Aramaic had been adopted by…the tribes of the Northern Kingdom [deported] by Sargon II who took Samaria in 721, [and] the two tribes of the Southern Kingdom of Judah who were taken into captivity to Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar in 587. Hence, the Jews who returned from the Babylonian Captivity brought Aramaic back with them to the Holy Land…

Yeshua / Jesus spoke the Word in Aramaic.

The large colony of Orhai Jews [in modern Turkey], and the Jewish colonies in Assyria in the kingdom of Adiabene whose royal house had converted to Judaism, possessed most of the Bible in this sianfu1[Aramaic] dialect, the Peshitta…This Peshitta version of the Old Testament was taken over by all the Churches in the East, which used, and still use Aramaic, as far as India, and formerly in Turkestan and China. The Peshitta Tenakh was completed during Apostolic times with the writings of the New Testament…

Modern Aramaic, in its various dialects, is spoken in modern-day Iraq, Iran, Syria, Israel, Lebanon, and the various Western countries to which the native speakers have emigrated, including Russia, Europe, Australia and the United States.”

It’s always the power inherent to the Word of God that opposes and defeats the enemy.

A published linguistics lecture at prestigious University of Pennsylvania gives us to understand that ultimately all changes in language involve changes or segregation in location.

Therefore, God’s word endures in every location where people hide it, especially in our hearts. through memorization and regular recitations in congregations.
