1. A Colossal Catastrophe
Text: Gen 11:1-9
1) And the whole earth was of one language,
and of one speech.
2) And it came to pass, as they journeyed from
the east, that they found a plain in the land of
Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3) And they said one to another, Go to, let us
make brick, and burn them throughly. And they
had brick for stone, and slime had they for
morter.

2. 4) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city
and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven;
and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered
abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5) And the LORD came down to see the city
and the tower, which the children of men
builded.
6) And the LORD said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language; and this
they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have
imagined to do.
7) Go to, let us go down, and there confound
their language, that they may not understand
one another's speech.
8) So the LORD scattered them abroad from
thence upon the face of all the earth: and they
left off to build the city.
9) Therefore is the name of it called Babel;
because the LORD did there confound the
language of all the earth: and from thence did

3. the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of
all the earth.

and Zillah, Hear my voice; ye wives of

slain a man to my wounding, and a young
man to my hurt.
24 If Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, truly
Lamech seventy and sevenfold.

mother bare him after Absalom.

which speaketh unto you as unto children,

defile thyself therewith: neither shall any

1 And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with
me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will
shew unto thee the judgment of the great
whore that sitteth upon many waters:
2 With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants
of the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into
the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon
a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten
horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden

14. cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name
written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE
GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS
AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 And I saw the woman drunken with the
blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I
wondered with great admiration.
Rev 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not;
and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit,
and go into perdition: and they that dwell on
the earth shall wonder, whose names were
not written in the book of life from the
foundation of the world, when they behold
the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

15. Rev 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that
great city, which reigneth over the kings of
the earth.
Conclusion:
Zeph 3:8-9
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD,
until the day that I rise up to the prey: for my
determination is to gather the nations, that I

16. may assemble the kingdoms, to pour upon them
mine indignation, even all my fierce anger: for
all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of
my jealousy. 9 For then will I turn to the people
a pure language, that they may all call upon the
name of the LORD, to serve him with one
consent.
Zeph 3:11
In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy
doings, wherein thou hast transgressed against
me: for then I will take away out of the midst of
thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou
shalt no more be haughty because of my holy
mountain.
Isa 11:9
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy
mountain: for the earth shall be full of the
knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover
the sea.
