Reading Isaiah's Mind

Chapter 13 – verses 1-22

                                                                    “A Prophecy against Babylon”


Introduction

Tower

The name “Babylon” is derived from the  Hebrew root verb: “babel”pronounced-baw-bel. It means:  to confuse; to bewilder; to misinterpret; to misconceive; to misunderstand).

The general concept expressed by babel is: to be “incapable” of distinguishing between vaguely differing, even vaguely opposing things. The word balel, itself,  is intimately associated with the famous “Confusion-Of-Tongues” narrative found in (Genesis 11:1-9)

The meaning of the name Babylon, in fact, is: “paralyze people’s ability to distinguish  between vaguely differing, even vaguely opposing words (things), i.e. “Paralyze People With Confusion of Tongues, in order to gain possession of an entire generation”.

The “Tower (pulpit) of Babel (confusion) is described as a towering (imposing) church (religious institution; denomination) , the head (CEO’s; leadership; principal-command; top-ranking authority) of which reaches “into-the-heavens”.

It is plain to see that all this is metaphoric language for a towering (imposing) Corporate Entity organized and maintained  by Melchizedek High-priests, the head (CEO’s; top-leadership; officialdom; First Presidency and Quorum of Twelve Apostles) of which, reaches (amounts to; realizes) “God-like-status”.

The “Tower-of-Babel” was said to have been made of artificial  (synthetic; mass-produced; manufactured) “mudbricks” (air-dried mixture of loam, mud, sand and water mixed with a binding material such as rice husks or straw).  Babylon’s tower was not built out of natural-stones (pieces of solid-rock formed by nature, quarried and worked into aImage result for assembly-line cartoon specific size and shape for a particular purpose) like Jerusalem’s Temple.

The building-blocks” (basic units from which something is built) that  constitute the “Tower” (pulpit) of Babel” (confusion; misrepresentation) were “slapped-together” (created in a quick and careless way) in a systematic “assembly-line” (production-line) fashion.

 Discernment” (acumen; perceptiveness; insight; clearsightedness) is a gift (natural ability or talent) to distinguish between “vaguely-different” and sometimes “ambiguously-opposite” things. It is an inherent (hereditary; genetic; inborn; natural) characteristic (attribute) of Israel’s people, much like their naturally-curly “jet-black” hair, but Israel’s discernent has diminished (ebbed; declined; weakened; abated) because they’ve spent so much time under the influence of Babylon (confusion; misinterpretation).

Israel’s tarriance (temporary stay) in  Babylon (confusion; misinterpretation), has exacted from them aImage result for I'm all mixed up giphy high price (cost).   Currently,  Israel’s people have,  for the most part, lost their gift of “discernment” (acumen; perceptiveness; insight; clearsightedness), so they’ve been led astray by Salt Lake’s misinterpretations (mix-ups; false-impressions; confusions; delusions; errors).

The loss of discernment doesn’t mean that Israel’s people are “dazed” all the time,  as some have concluded, but rather, because they can no longer discern (differentiate;  discriminate between “vaguely-different” and sometimes “ambiguously-opposite” things), they are disoriented (off-course; without a reliable sense of direction) prone (vulnerable) to “accept the leadership of cunning and unscrupulous religious leaders”……a very dangerous thing!

Israel’s people have been beguiled (hoodwinked; gulled) by Mormonism’s unprincipled (cutthroat; Machiavelian; duplicitous; cunning) General Authorities who are  “lying-in-wait” (hiding and waiting for Israel’s people with an intent) to defraud (cheat; dupe) them. Israel’s people are at a huge-disadvantage because they can no longer tell the difference between men/women who are telling the truth and unscrupulous High-Priests who are skillfully (ingeniously; authortatively; cunningly; expertly) lying to them.
