In this episode, Sam and Will explore Jericho as the wealthy and fortified “City of Palms,” Rahab’s decision to hide the Israelite spies, the meaning behind Israel marching around the city with the Ark of the Covenant, and how ancient coronation imagery may help explain God’s unusual battle strategy. They also look at the fall of Jericho’s walls, the archaeological claims surrounding the site, and Rahab’s remarkable journey into the lineage of Jesus.

    Ep. 101: Was the Tower of Babel Real? (The History They Never Taught You)

    Want to partner with us and help make more content like this possible? Donate Here: https://secure.ncfgiving.com/GXDonateNow?id=a0UVx000009MGYoMAO In this episode, Sam and Will explore how ancient Babylon used towering structures and ziggurats to claim divine authority over people. We look at the Code of Hammurabi, the Enuma Elish creation myth, and archaeological evidence that the tower really existed. The word "Babel" originally meant "gateway of God" before it came to mean "confusion" in Hebrew. Most powerfully, this episode contrasts the ethics of Babel (our name, our kingdom, our will) with the ethics of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer (your name, your kingdom, your will), challenging us to consider whose kingdom we're building.

This teaching explains Nimrod’s role as a mighty warrior and kingdom builder, the cities connected to his kingdom, and why Babel became its center. Learn what ancient ziggurats were, why they were built like artificial mountains, and how this background helps explain a tower reaching toward the heavens. The discussion also examines Babel’s purpose: building a city for themselves, making a name for themselves, and refusing to be scattered across the earth.
