【Bible Study】Genesis Chapter 11 - The Corrupt Worldly Logic System of Fallen Man

2022-11-25 73,874 Genesis Genesis 11 Genesis Chapter 11 Tower of Babel Seeking God Seeing Through Life and Death Archetype of the Hero

Introduction

Good day, everyone! Let's delve into Genesis, Chapter 11. At first glance, it might seem as though God felt insecure upon witnessing the construction of these towers, fearing that humanity would achieve anything they set their minds to. It might appear as though God was envious, uncomfortable, and joining in the rat race with these people. However, that is not the case. The central theme of Genesis, Chapter 11 is: The corrupt worldly logic system of fallen man.

The most potent aspect of this world is its ability to make you forget one crucial thing: life and death. If you can be made to forget life and death, you will conform to the norm. Preparing for postgraduate exams, attending university, staying busy, pursuing ambitions, striving to become the wealthiest person, climbing the ladder... climbing with all your might, only to die in the end. People forget about life and death and climb in this world, one after another.

Once, my mother was on this path to the Tower of Babel. After I cast out the demons that afflicted her, she returned, for her spirit had been taken away. I asked, "Where did you go?" She recounted, "I was taken away. Someone behind me, armed with a gun, forced me to walk upwards, circling around and around." I inquired, "How high did you circle?" She replied, "I circled about two-thirds of the way up. That tower was incredibly tall!" I asked, "You circled two-thirds of the way up, and then what?" She said, "It was so tiring, I just kept climbing." I asked, "And then what happened?" She said, "Then I could hear you all praying, and suddenly a person in a large red robe told me: Go back! And then a force brought me back." My mother told me that thing was called the Tower of Babel.

This incident evokes a certain association. People all over the world are climbing this Tower of Babel, which represents the very strict logical system of the world. Once people forget about life and death, things become very interesting. I once ministered to a cancer patient who had a lump on his knee. When the lump burst, blood gushed out like a water pipe, which was quite frightening. Just days before his death, he was arguing with his sister over money. A few days later, as I was leading him in prayer, he passed away in front of my camera. I was astonished: if a person only had three days to live, would they still haggle over such matters? It seems unlikely. As a person nears death, their words become kinder. But people are trapped by this logical system, stuck fast. People all over the world are desperately climbing upwards.

Two weeks before my mother passed away, she spoke very normally. She chatted with me, recalling her youth as a branch secretary, when people gave her five sacks of wheat. There was also a time when she insisted on returning to her hometown to reclaim her house. She had left her hometown at the age of four, and at 85, she wanted to return to reclaim her house. What had happened to that house? Especially a house made of earth, it would have long disappeared, turned to dust. If someone had rebuilt or repaired it on that land, you truly couldn't afford to repay the money they had spent on renovations over 80 years.

People are easily deceived by demons. They are deceived because they have a strict worldly logic system in their hearts. Another cancer patient, whom I also ministered to, passed away in front of my camera as well. The camera was on, his eyes were wide open. I was ministering to him until his death. That night, he was very weak. When I ministered to him, he could stand up and walk. After standing up, he started: eight hundred million, thirty million... I asked, "What are you muttering about?" He said, "Muttering about money." "Teacher, I feel better, I can lie down and sleep." Six hours later, I called again, and his aunt answered. I said, "Check if he's still breathing." His aunt even wanted me to check. How could I check?

Some people think: Teacher, how can you speak like that when someone has died? I said: I really don't care about a few more or less deaths. You must understand my heart. Whether you say I'm tough or insightful, I've seen through it all. I wouldn't care much if I myself died. When they checked, there was no pulse, no breathing, he was dead! Six hours before, he was still talking about money. I realized that people's goals are very clear: to seize things in this world.

You may recall me saying that if a person cannot accomplish something, the problem usually lies in three areas: unclear goals, unclear strategies, and incorrect methods. But the worldly logic system is the same. If you want to achieve something in this world, you really need clear goals, clear strategies, and correct methods. Even if you have clear goals, clear strategies, and correct methods in this world, you cannot stop one thing: you will die, and you will be completely trapped by this world.

Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. They said to each other, “Come, let’s make bricks and bake them thoroughly.” They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.” (Genesis 11:1-4)

It can be said that this passage represents the complete worldly logic system.

The Complete Worldly Logic System

These people had very clear goals, very clear strategies, and very correct methods. So why did God scatter them? You must understand that this thing is particularly corrupting. Because the goals are too clear, people get so busy that they forget about eternal life. If you look closely at this world, we must say that Hitler had a very Mingding Destiny. His goals were very clear, his strategies were very clear, and his methods were very correct, but he lacked one thing: he forgot about life and death. People must never forget this. If you forget, you will set worldly goals, and as you climb, you will be trapped by this world, which is very dangerous.

Hitler's goal was very clear. Germany became a defeated nation in World War I. To save Germany, he adopted a series of Tower of Babel strategies. His goal was very clear: to build a city and a tower that reached to the heavens, to make a name for themselves. What did they want to make a name for? They wanted to proclaim that the German nation was the most superior nation in the world. Under Hitler's leadership, the German nation was united, and the entire country was in a state of frenzy. With a powerful leader, you see Hitler's gestures, and people went mad. Their goals were very clear, they spoke the same language, all speaking German, and everyone was running towards the same goal. In the East, Hideki Tojo claimed: Our Great Japanese Empire will establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. That's what they did. These people all had very clear goals, their hearts were very united, and for the sake of a great goal, they completely corrupted their countries.

Are you a little Hitler? You might be a little Hitler in your circle, and if you are, that's a problem. Listen carefully to this logical system: to do something, to have a great project, a project with the ability to reach the heavens, called a tower that reaches to the heavens. Some people think: I want to be the richest person in the world! They get so close to reaching the heavens, and then they fall from the sky. I want to be a flying pig, a pig that can fly in the wind, called a flying pig. When the wind stops, it falls because it is not an eagle. A tower that reaches to the heavens is a lofty goal. Was Hitler selfish? He had a lofty goal: to make a name for ourselves, so that we would not be scattered over the face of the whole earth. As a result, they offended God. Why did they offend God? Not because God was afraid of being offended, but because God wanted to save people from the logical system of this world.

Some people say: Teacher, what he said is similar to what you said. If you ask me, it's very different from what I said. When have I ever made a name for myself? Our church has a characteristic: decades ago, someone made a prophecy. He was an American prophet who wrote a book saying that in the future there would be a faceless, nameless church; everyone in this church would be like Jesus, and everyone in this church would be like the Apostle Paul. This American prophet just passed away two or three years ago. He was very young when he wrote this book. He didn't know that he was writing about us! In what we preach, you won't hear people's names, it's all about preaching God's name. Now everyone knows how the worldly logic system corrupts people because they make a name for themselves. We preach God's name. Why do we preach God's name? Because we studied Genesis Chapter 11 and learned that we must not make a name for ourselves.

Some time ago, there was a very interesting pastor. Two women suddenly came to this pastor's church. These two women had permed their hair into afros. If we have seen the videos, we know what afros are. After these two afros came to the church, they joined forces with their pastor. This pastor didn't do well in school when he was young. He didn't know how strict the worldly logic system is in corrupting people. These two afros told this pastor that they were going to make him a world-famous pastor.

If someone said to me: Pastor, I want to make you a world-famous pastor! I would say to them: Forget it! You can make your head a world-famous head, I won't fall for it. Do you want to get me up to the Tower of Babel? If I drank too much, you would turn on a flashlight and say: Pastor, climb up! If I really drank too much, I would say: If you turn off the flashlight, I'll fall down. But I haven't been drinking, and I'm not talking nonsense. This thing is corrupting. This path to the tower that reaches to the heavens seems very spiritual. I'll make you a world-famous pastor, so you can be a blessing to all nations and peoples on earth. Do you think I didn't do well in elementary school? I did well in elementary school. This is called the world's logical system, and I won't fall for it.

Everyone should take a closer look, this thing is quite corrupting. I thank God! I haven't touched any of these things. We neither build a city nor build a tower, and our tower doesn't reach to the heavens. We don't make a name for ourselves, and we still want to be scattered over the face of the whole earth. We don't touch anything, we just want to make it impossible for the devil to play. We just want to be scattered over the face of the whole earth, so the devil has no chance. Because we completely don't follow the worldly logic system, this worldly logic system is very corrupting.

If you go to England, there is a photo spot at St. Paul's Cathedral. Other than that big cathedral building, there is nothing else, this is a tower that reaches to the heavens. Some time ago, I met a sister who told me something. She said that the epidemic was quite severe because before the epidemic, there was a group of Christian businessmen who probably didn't do well in elementary school and didn't understand Genesis 11. They encouraged a pastor to build a large cathedral. This pastor fell for it and was trapped. These businessmen donated money to build a huge cathedral, which should be larger than St. Paul's Cathedral. They borrowed hundreds of millions to build it and it became a photo spot in their area.

Now that the church is built, the epidemic has come. Where are you going to collect money? Now when I think about it, I can feel the pastor's pain across thousands of mountains and rivers. These people are all trapped in the logical system of the Tower of Babel. I have a template for this. If you ask me if I want to do this, I will first ask if Jesus wants to do it. Jesus didn't build St. Paul's Cathedral. Why should I do it? Did Paul do it? Paul didn't do it. Why should I do it? I won't do this. If you want to trap me, it's quite difficult.

Some people say: Teacher, you are too shrewd! I said I'm not good, Jesus is good. Jesus is the only human being in human society who is shrewd. Jesus came into the world as a man, and He is our standard. We should do what He did well, and we should forget what He didn't do. The Apostle Paul is my standard, and we must imitate Paul. If you don't do it well and get into the logical system of the Tower of Babel, that will be fatal. Imitating Jesus and imitating Paul is the essence of Chinese Mingding Destiny. Why should I trap myself? When the epidemic comes, I have to repay the loan.

We will never make a name for ourselves. Some people want to know who these people are? What are you going to do if you know? Do you think I want to become a world-famous pastor? I don't want to become a world-famous pastor. I want to become a world-unfamous pastor, just a small pastor in a small church. Now there are no pastors left! Only Chinese Mingding Destiny remains. I can die, but the word of God will last forever.

Worshipping Heroes, the Chief of Heroes

The logical system of this world must be to worship heroes. Let's think about it. If there were no Hitler in this world, would Germany have suffered so much? The heroes of this world have brought a lot of corruption to the world.

As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there. (Genesis 11:2)

Let's take a closer look at the previous chapter:

The sons of Ham: Cush, Mizraim, Put and Canaan. The sons of Cush: Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah and Sabteka. The sons of Raamah: Sheba and Dedan. Cush was the father of Nimrod, who grew to be a mighty warrior on the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the Lord; that is why it is said, “Like Nimrod, a mighty hunter before the Lord.” The first centers of his kingdom were Babylon, Uruk, Akkad and Kalneh, in Shinar. (Genesis 10:6-10)

These people are all in Shinar. The person who built the Tower of Babel was Nimrod. Everyone should know that anyone who worships heroes will be trapped by the logical system of this world. If an average person can realize this, he doesn't need to go to elementary school anymore. The chief of heroes, this is no joke. Many people come to me because of my reputation and want me to minister to them. I know that they are here to worship a master! When I hear this, I understand that this person is still wandering around on the Tower of Babel. When you come down from the Tower of Babel, then come to Chinese Mingding Destiny!

Some people even ask me to minister to them by name. Why? They think that if they worship me as a master, I should thank them. Just don't push me onto the Tower of Babel, and I'll thank you. Don't end up really thinking you're a master, that would be a problem! Some time ago, several masters appeared, some who practiced Tai Chi, some who practiced boxing, and they were beaten black and blue in the ring. If I become a master, I can only attract people to challenge me, and I'll be beaten black and blue too. Then I'll be in the same group as them. I'll say to them: Young people, you don't have martial ethics. Who told you to be a master?

So, when someone comes to me for a PK, I say: I surrender first. Why do I surrender first? I'm not a master. If you knock me down, what will happen? At most, you knock me down, and you're just a small master. You PK a nobody, what can you get? You don't get anything. If you have the ability, go PK with Chinese Mingding Destiny, go PK with God, and you'll kick a steel plate. It's better to PK with God. So, I usually don't minister to people who worship masters. I'm willing to minister to even the smallest brothers and sisters who come to us. I want to deal with this problem of worshipping masters.

There is a sister among us who is very distressed, and her pastor can't comfort her. If you can't comfort her, you can't ignore her! Later, her pastor came to me. I said: It's okay, let me talk to her and create a group. Her mother suddenly passed away from a cerebral hemorrhage. Ah! It's hard! I know I was very sad when my mother died. I really love my mother, and I know she must have loved her mother very much, but she passed away. My ministry is not based on money. Do you think I'll minister to you if you have a lot of money? I won't minister to you even if you have a lot of money. I'll minister to the little ones among us. As a result, I enlightened her and made it clear that she had seen through life and death. I also pulled her back from inside the Tower of Babel. I hope she doesn't go back to climb it one day.

Truly I tell you, anyone who gives a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple will certainly not lose their reward.” (Matthew 10:42)

Some people ask me, what does "involution" mean? Because the word "involution" is contemporary. There was no such word in my era. It's only recently that this word has appeared. I don't know who invented the word "involution". I thought it was a bedroll or a flower roll. Later, I knew why it was called "involution". The Chinese invented this word too well. The Tower of Babel is an involution, it is rolled up layer by layer, with a slope to climb up, and when you climb to the top, you fall down, all the way down into the abyss. For example, people go to school, study in high school, take the college entrance examination, take a master's degree, and study for a doctorate, and then they can't graduate after they finish their studies. Isn't it ruined if they can't graduate after they finish their studies? I'll bring him out of here and let his mind start to clear. If a person can come out of worshipping heroes, you're basically about to come down from the Tower of Babel.

Why do people enter the logical system of this world? When they see the richest man in the world, wow! Their hearts melt. Does he have a girlfriend? They're all married. When they see that there's no chance, they regret it so much. If he doesn't have a wife, then I have to rush up. When they rush up, he has a wife. Then I have to start a movement, polygamy. Why? Because there are too many scumbags in this world, so we have to make a hero. That's why some people want to promote polygamy, because there are too few heroes! Nimrod had thousands of wives in his three palaces and six courtyards! It's okay, make it one thousand and one. He has money, the chief of heroes. There are too many scumbags and too few heroes! There's a saying: How can we get brave men to guard the four directions! There are too few Nimrods, and too many people want to marry Nimrod, so it doesn't matter if there's one more.

The worship of heroes is still the same today. Once, I went to see an old woman. This old woman's legs and feet were not very good. When I went to see her, she didn't have many years to live. Her body was not as good as my mother's! As soon as she opened her mouth, she said: Look at how the children of the old Li family have made a fortune, look at how the children of the old Zhang family in the south of the courtyard have made a lot of money recently. All she talked to me about was this. I thought, why are you talking to me about this? Can you talk to me about your son? Ah! My son is not good. What if your son was Nimrod? Then she would be very comforted.

If you look closely at this world, is it like this? When a child gets first place in an exam, the mother walks differently, her nostrils are turned up to the sky, and the rain flows into her nostrils. People worship heroes. Why don't you think about life and death? This sister's mother died, and I comforted her. In fact, I'm telling everyone: Death is good beyond compare. Ah! Teacher, why are you saying that? Because when a person dies, you become a little more sober. The problem with many people is that they know they have the Mingding Destiny to make money, but they don't know if they have the Mingding Destiny to spend money! Like the World Cup, this is all about worshipping heroes.

People play soccer so well in the World Cup! People like me who play soccer are a joke. I didn't even touch the ball in one game. When they kicked it over, I kicked it too early, and my foot went up and swung around. The ball hadn't arrived yet. By the time I retracted my foot, the ball had already gone through my crotch. Ah! Everyone laughed! Why didn't anyone come to see my ball? Because I'm not a hero, I'm a bear. You must know that worshipping heroes is a worldly logical system, and it's too difficult to break this thing.

One day, I took a sister out to eat, and we stopped at a traffic light. The sister was sitting in the passenger seat, and her mother was sitting in the back. Then she was there, wow! I said: What are you wowing about? Looking out through the glass window, a Lamborghini was parked next to us, lying on the ground like a toad. Then she was intoxicated, and the person driving the Lamborghini was a handsome guy. It turned out that she came to our church to find a handsome guy. We don't have that in our church. Even if we did, I wouldn't let you meet him. After they finished eating my food and drinking my drinks, they said: Teacher, bye-bye, I'm going somewhere else to find someone who drives a Lamborghini. I said: Okay, you go find someone who drives a Lamborghini. I can't drive that thing. I said: What if the person driving the Lamborghini is an old man? She said: An old man is fine too, I'm willing, as long as he's a hero who can afford a Lamborghini.

Then do you think this hero has a vision? He has a vision; does he have a dream? He has a dream; does he have a name? He has a name. But it's all a worldly logical system. The corruption that this thing will bring in the future is too deep. Therefore, brothers and sisters, you must begin to understand that life is not long, seventy or eighty years, cherish it! Cherish what? Because time is not long, live one day and be happy one day! Don't envy other people's businesses that are bigger than yours, because they don't have as much joy as you, because they don't see as clearly as you. Therefore, cherish it. Cherish what? Cherish the grace that God has given you, cherish the supply of God while people are alive, and we live in God's blessing and grace all our lives.

When you hear this, teacher, you're忽悠ing me again? No忽悠ing, this road is the good road! This road can make people live happily! This road can make people live easily! This road no longer makes people卷 into it! This road makes people live freely, because we are saved so that we may be free. If you haven't tasted the taste of freedom, you don't know. If you don't know, I won't tell you. It's good for people to live freely all their lives!

The Corruption of the Worldly Logic System

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. (Genesis 11:4)

If you understand the corruption of the worldly logic system, you would not choose this path, nor would you worship these heroes. Let us list all the most powerful heroes in the world. I ask you, did Qin Shi Huang live well? Qin Shi Huang did not live well! It was very hard, but he was the foremost hero in the world! Is it good to be famous? It is not good to be famous! People fear fame as pigs fear fatness! Unless you are a pig, you will not fear fame or fatness. Even pigs fear fatness! This describes people as being like pigs. The corruption brought about by this worldly logic system is extremely far-reaching, causing people to live in pain throughout their lives.

One day, I was riding my bicycle, stopping at a traffic light. Next to me was someone on a motorcycle, a Harley-Davidson. The seat was very low, the handlebars were very long, and the person sat there like a little monkey. I was riding my bicycle, and when I saw him rev the engine, "Vroom!" So cool, so awesome. If I thought, "Oh, my bike can't do that," I would feel uncomfortable. If I did not have this worldly logic system, I would be very happy riding my bicycle. If there was a Harley next to me, or even a Lamborghini, what does it matter to me? I am happy, unaffected.

These two logic systems bring completely different pain and joy. If I were riding a motorcycle and saw a car next to me, I would also feel happy. If I were carrying the worldly logic system, I would say, "Oh, why isn't it a four-wheeler? If only it had four wheels." Look, why isn't it a Lamborghini? Actually, sitting inside a Lamborghini is so stuffy, so low you can only lie down to drive. What is that? I wouldn't even want it if you gave it to me.

This worldly logic system can rob a person of a lifetime of happiness. You can never be better than the person above you. Moreover, when you reach the top, you are about to be finished. It is not just that people fear fame and pigs fear fatness; when you get to the top, you become a pig waiting to be slaughtered. So, brothers and sisters, can we stop climbing with the worldly logic system and instead climb with the godly logic system? Therefore, Chinese Mingding Destiny is not climbing the Tower of Babel; Chinese Mingding Destiny is climbing the mountain of the Lord, entering the temple of the God of Jacob.

And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Isaiah 2:3)

Climbing the mountain of the Lord, entering the temple of the God of Jacob, brings unparalleled joy throughout life. As you climb the spiritual truth and increasingly recognize the truth, you will become more and more victorious. Nothing can rob you of the grace that comes from God within you. So, do not say that China's richest people do not have good outcomes; it is the same all over the world. That is caused by the worldly logic system. Do not just talk about China; it is the same everywhere.

I am very grateful to God. I really want to place a job advertisement for God: being a priest of the Lord God is infinitely good. It is so wonderful! You will never lack in your life. This is the happiest profession in the world, the most wonderful profession in the world, it is just good! May our brothers and sisters desire to be priests of the Lord God, it is infinitely good! God has prepared for those who love Him what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined. The question is how much or how little people love God.

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)

Many people climb the Tower of Babel until they are tired, and then they come to me and say, "Teacher, pray for me." I say, "Pray for what? You might as well stop climbing that Tower of Babel and come with me to climb the mountain of the Lord." This is not something that prayer can solve; it is a matter of your thoughts and intentions.

Some years ago, someone introduced me to a famous pastor, a very famous pastor, a pastor of a large church. He had a brain tumor. I am an unknown person; I do not want to be well-known. As a result, this famous pastor who was introduced to me had a brain tumor, and I said I would minister to him. Why did I minister to him? Because his good friend opened a church, and I went to visit and incidentally healed someone who was being electrocuted all over, and also healed someone who was paralyzed on one side. He said, "Wow, you are so amazing, you must minister to him, he is my good friend, he has a brain tumor." I said, "Then I will minister to him."

I said, "You are a pastor of a large church, can you tell me why you got a brain tumor?" He told me, "As a pastor, I can only rest one day a week." I felt uncomfortable listening to that, thinking, "How many days do you want to rest? Resting one day still feels like not enough. I have not rested a single day from my twenties until today! If anyone should get it, it should not be you." Then he said, "There are too many things in the church. I manage thirty to fifty small groups, a total of thirty to fifty small group leaders. These small group leaders are replaced every three years." I said, "Why?" He said, "They are replaced every three years because the small group leaders have to come to the church once a week for leadership training, and then one day to lead the small group, and then come to the church on Sunday. They cannot last long, they get burned out! I have to replace them one by one, and then replace them again, so I am so tired!" I thought, "The ordinary members of our church spend more time than your small group leaders, but they are not burned out." I wondered what his logic was. He added, "How can I not get a brain tumor?"

So that was it, tiredness. Later, I thought, "Why am I not tired?" Because I enjoy it. Once I say I enjoy it, there is no comparison. The difference between liking to do something and not liking to do something is too great. I love God, I enjoy serving God. People who do not love God enjoy traveling, but serving God is painful. If God does not give you a tumor, what will He give you? You have really become a tumor pastor. I encourage everyone to enjoy loving God. I love God, I love the Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, and with all my strength, so I never get burned out. The fire of God falls on me and does not burn me out! I am full of enthusiasm, I enjoy loving God. A person who loves God will be willing to keep and follow God's words, willing to serve Him, willing to willingly lay down his life for God's sheep. What burnout? I only burn others out.

Some pastors see that I am doing so well, and they are not doing well, so they become burned-out pastors. After being burned out for a long time, they become tumor pastors. What I mean is that this worldly logic system is too corrupt. Originally surnamed Chen, later becoming a tumor pastor, Pastor Li also becomes a tumor pastor. All the pastors become tumor pastors, it is really corrupt. So, never again proclaim your own name, never again build a tower whose top reaches to heaven. Never build any large cathedrals, never gather all the people together, but let them be scattered throughout the earth, which is infinitely good. God's heart can be satisfied through us, and we will be recorded in God's book. From verse 10, Shem begat Arphaxad, Arphaxad begat Salah, all the way to Abram, who is Abraham.

These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters. And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters. And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters. And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. (Genesis 11:10-26)

That is to say, in the future, your name and my name will be recorded in the Book of Life. Although we do not pursue our own names, God makes our names great, so that we may see God's glory in this generation. The Bible is too lazy to record the others, God's book is too lazy to record those people on the Tower of Babel. Climb, climb well, do not come down, do not look to the sides, keep climbing forward, and you will melt into the blue sky in the west. As for us, we climb the mountain of the Lord, enter the temple of the God of Jacob, and continuously know God, know the truth of God. This generation receives grace not because of your name and my name, but because of the name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

May God bless everyone!

Genesis Chapter 11

11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
11:2 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.
11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
11:4 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.
11:5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
11:6 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.
11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
11:8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11:11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
11:13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
11:15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
11:19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
11:21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
11:23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
11:25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
11:27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
11:28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
11:29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
11:30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
11:31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
11:32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.

《创世记》第11章讲述了人类试图建造巴别塔,神看到人类团结一心、企图达到天上的行为,于是变乱他们的语言,使他们分散。这个章节的主题是探讨人类骄傲和依靠自己能力的后果。 这个世界常常让人忘记生和死的意义。人们忙于考研、考大学、追求财富、往上爬,最终仍然面临死亡。人若忘记生和死,就会在世上盲目追求,前仆后继。 有一次,我母亲在异象中经历了一段关于巴别塔的经历。她告诉我,她的灵被抓走,后面有人拿着枪逼迫她往上走,一圈一圈地绕塔。我问她走了多高,她说绕了三分之二,塔非常高。后来,她听见有人祷告,突然一个穿着红色大袍的人告诉她:回去!然后她感到一股力量使她回来。她称那个地方为巴别塔。 这件事让人联想到,全世界的人都在往这个巴别塔上爬,这个巴别塔就是属世界的非常严密的逻辑体系。人一忘记了生和死,就很有意思。我曾经服侍过一个癌症患者,膝盖上长了一个包,那个包破的时候,血像水管子似的往外喷,很吓人。死之前的头几天,还跟他姐姐因为钱闹矛盾。几天后带着他祷告的时候,他就在摄像头面前去世了。我诧异:人如果还有三天的活头,还会计较这些事吗?好像应该不会计较了。人之将死,其言也善。人就被这套逻辑体系套得死死的,卡得死死的,全世界的人都在拼命往上爬。

我妈临死之前的两个礼拜,说话都很正常,她就聊天,说年轻的时候她做支部书记,人家给她送了五麻袋小麦。还有一段时间非要回老家把她的房子收回来。她四岁离开她的老家,85岁了要回她老家把房子收回来。那房子发生啥事了?尤其是土盖的房子,早没了,变土了。如果有人在土上面再盖、再修,要把人家房子收回来,人家80年修整的钱,真是还不起。 人很容易被鬼骗,人被鬼骗是因为心里面有一套属世界的很严密的逻辑体系。还有一个癌症患者,服侍他,他也是在摄像头面前死掉的。开着摄像头,眼睛没闭上,眼睛瞪得老大,到死之前还在服侍他。那天晚上他浑身无力,服侍他,他就可以站起来走路了。站起来以后他就开始:八个亿、三千万......问他:你在那嘟囔啥呢?他说:嘟囔钱呢。老师,我好像感觉好点了,我可以躺下睡觉了。六个小时以后再打过去,他姑姑接的。问:你看一看,还有没有气儿?他姑姑还让我看,咋看? 有的人觉得:老师,人都死了,你怎么还能这么说话呢?我说:真的不在乎多死几个,少死几个。大家得知道这个人的心,你说是很硬也好,看透也好,看透了,自己死也不大在乎。结果一摸没有脉搏了,也没有呼吸了,死了!六个小时之前还在讲钱。就发现人的目标很明确,就是抓这个世界上的东西。 大家还记得曾经讲过,人如果干不成一个事,问题基本上出现在三个方面:目标不清、策略不明、方法不对。但是属世界的逻辑体系也一样,要想在这个世界干成一点事,还真得目标很清,策略很明,方法很对。虽然在这个世界目标很清,策略很明,方法也很对,但就是拦不住一件事:会死掉,会彻底被这个世界套得牢牢的。

这些人目标非常清楚,策略也非常明确,方法也非常对路,那神来给人家拆散了干啥?大家得知道:这东西特别败坏人。因为目标太明确,忙着忙着就忘了永生。仔细看这个世界,必须说希特勒非常有命定,目标非常清楚,策略非常明确,方法也非常对路,但就是差了一件事:忘了人生人死。人千万别忘了,如果忘了,就树立世界的目标,爬着爬着就被这世界套得牢牢的,非常危险。 希特勒的目标非常清楚,第一次世界大战德国成了战败国,他为了拯救德国采取了一系列的巴别塔的策略,目标非常清楚,要建立一座城、一座塔,塔顶通天,传扬他们的名。传扬什么呢?传扬德意志民族是全世界最优秀的民族。德意志民族在希特勒的带领下全民一心,整个德国都处在癫狂的状态。有一位强有力的领袖,希特勒那手势一打,人都疯癫了。他们的目标非常明确,一样的言语,全说德语,大家都一起朝着这一个目标往前奔跑。东方还有一个东条英机声称:我们大日本帝国要建立东亚共荣圈。他们就干这个。这些人目标都非常明确,人心都非常合一,为了伟大的目标,把他们国家彻底地败坏了。 你是不是一个小希特勒呢?可能在自己的圈里是个小希特勒,如果是个小希特勒,那就麻烦了。这个逻辑体系大家仔细听好:要干一件事,有个很伟大的项目,这个项目有通天的能力,叫塔顶通天。有的人就想:我要做世界首富!做到快通天了,然后从天上掉下来。我要做一个飞猪,猪住在风口上也能够飞起来,叫做飞猪,风下去的时候它就掉下来了,因为它不是老鹰。塔顶通天是一个崇高的目标。希特勒很自私吗?他有崇高的目标:要传扬我们的名,免得我们被分散在全地上。结果这么一整,得罪了神。那为什么得罪了神呢?不是神怕人得罪,是神要拯救人脱离这个世界的逻辑体系。

有人说:老师,他讲的跟你讲的差不多。其实,差距还是很大的。什么时候我传扬自己的名了?咱们教会有一个特点:在几十年以前,有人发过一个预言。他是个美国的先知,他写了一本书,说将来有一个无脸无名的教会;这个教会里的每一个人都像耶稣,这个教会里的每一个人都像使徒保罗。这个美国的先知就在两、三年前刚刚过世了。他写这本书的时候还很年轻,他不知道他写的就是咱们!咱们所传扬的,你不会听见人的名,都是在传扬神的名。大家现在知道属世界的逻辑体系是如何败坏人的,因为他们传扬他们自己的名。我们传扬神的名。为什么我们传扬神的名?因为我们研究了《创世记》第11章,知道了不能传扬自己的名。 前一段时间,有一个很有意思的牧师,这个牧师的教会里,突然间来了两个女人,这两个女人把头发烫成爆炸头。如果我们看过视频,就知道什么叫爆炸头。这两个爆炸头来了教会以后,就跟她们的牧师合成一气。这个牧师从小学习就不好,他不知道这个世界的逻辑体系败坏人有多严密。这两个爆炸头跟这个牧师讲,我们要把你打造成世界名牧。 如果有人说:牧师,我要把你打造成世界名牧!我会跟他们说:算了吧!你把你的头打造成世界名头就行了,我才不上套。你想要把我整到巴别塔上去吗?假如我喝酒喝多了,你把手电筒一打开,就说:牧师,往上爬!我要是真喝多了,我说:你一关手电筒我就掉下来了。可是我没喝酒,我也不扯这个蛋,这事是败坏人的。塔顶通天这条道看起来非常属灵,我把你打造成世界名牧,你好成为地上万国万民的祝福。你以为我小学没读好吗?我小学读得不错,这叫世界的逻辑体系,我才不上套。

巴别塔的逻辑相当败坏!我们既不建一座城,也不建一座塔,这塔也不通天。我们也不传扬我们的名,我们还就要分散在全地上。我们一样都不沾,就是要让魔鬼玩不起。我们就是要分散在这全地上,魔鬼没有机会。因为我们完完全全不走属世界的逻辑体系,这属世界的逻辑体系非常败坏人。 如果到英国,有一个圣保罗大教堂的打卡点。除了那个建筑物大教堂,什么也没有,这是塔顶通天。前一段时间碰到一个姐妹,她跟我讲一个事。她说这疫情挺厉害的,因为在疫情之前有一群基督徒的商人,应该小学没上好,《创世记》11章没读懂。他们去鼓动了一个牧师建大教堂,这个牧师上套了,被套牢了。这些商人去捐钱建了一个巨大无比的大教堂,应该超过了圣保罗大教堂,借了好几个亿才建成,成为了他们当地的打卡点。 教堂建好了以后,疫情来了,上哪收钱去?现在想起来,隔着千山万水都能感觉到这牧师的痛,这些人全都被套在巴别塔的逻辑体系里了。对这事有样板,干不干这事?就先问耶稣干不干,耶稣没建圣保罗大教堂。为什么要干?保罗干了没?保罗没干。为什么要干?不干这事。想要把我套牢,还是挺难的。

有的人说:老师,你太精明了!这不是我行,是耶稣行。耶稣是人类社会中唯一的完美者。耶稣降世为人,祂是我们的标杆。祂做的我们好好做,祂不做的我们就算了。使徒保罗是我们的标杆,要效法保罗。如果没整好,就走到巴别塔的逻辑体系去了,那可是要命的。效法耶稣、效法保罗是我们华人命定的精髓。为什么要套牢自己? 我们绝不传扬自己的名。有些人就想知道这些人是谁?你知道了要干啥?你以为我要成为世界名牧?我不想成为世界名牧,我想成为一个没名的小牧师,就是一个小教会的小牧师。现在连牧师都没啦!只剩下华人命定神学。我可以死,但是神的道却永远长存。

这世界的逻辑体系常常崇拜英雄。想一想,如果这个世界没有希特勒,德国能遭那么多罪吗?这个世界的英雄们,给世界带来了很多的败坏。 这些人都在示拿地,建巴别塔的这人是宁录。凡是崇拜英雄的,就要被这世界的逻辑体系套牢了。英雄之首,这事不是开玩笑的。很多人因着慕名而来,就要找我服侍,这就是拜大师来了!一听这话,明白了,这人还在巴别塔上转悠。什么时候从巴别塔上下来,再来华人命定吧! 有人还点名让我服侍,凭什么?他们认为把我当大师拜,我得感谢他们。别把我推到巴别塔上就行了,我还感谢你。别整着整着,就真觉得自己是大师,那可就麻烦了!前一段时间出了好几个大师,有打太极的、有打拳击的,到擂台上被人打得鼻青脸肿。我整一个大师,就只能吸引来踢馆的,把我也揍个鼻青脸肿,我这个大师就跟他们一伙的了。还给他来一句:年轻人,你们不讲武德。谁让你做大师的? 所以,一有人来找我PK,我就说:我先投降。为啥我先投降?我不是个大师,你一下把我K下去,那成啥了?你充其量把我K下去,你也就是个小师。你把一个名不见经传的人PK啦,你能得着啥呢?啥也没得着。你要有本事,你就去跟华人命定神学去PK去,跟神去PK去,一脚就踢在铁板上了,你跟神PK多好。所以,通常不服侍拜大师的,来到咱们当中的,就是再小的弟兄姐妹都愿意服侍。 我们当中有个姐妹很痛苦,她的牧者安慰不了。安慰不了也不能不管呀!后来,她的牧者就来找我。我说:没关系你让我给她通个话,拉个群。她妈脑溢血突然间就过世了。哎呀!辛苦啊!我知道我妈死的时候我也很难受。我真的很爱我妈妈,我知道她也一定很爱她的妈妈,但是过世了。我的服侍不是照着钱服侍。你以为你钱多我就服侍你呀!你钱多我也不服侍,我服侍就服侍咱们当中的小子。结果我就开导她一顿,把看透生死这事给说清楚了,也顺便把她从巴别塔的里面给拽回来了,希望她别有一天又回去爬去了。

有人就问“卷”是什么意思?这个词是当代的,我那个年代没有,是最近才有的。我还以为是铺盖卷、花卷呢。后来我知道为什么叫卷了。巴别塔就是个卷,就是一层一层的卷上去,有个斜坡顺着往上爬,爬到最顶上就掉下去,一直掉到深渊里头。比如,人去读书,读高中、考大学、考硕士、读博士,然后读完了不能毕业。读完不能毕业那不就毁了吗?我就把他从这里头带出来,让他头脑开始清醒。一个人如果能够从崇拜英雄的里面出来,就基本上快从巴别塔上下来了。 为什么人会进到这个世界的逻辑体系呢?一看这个世界首富,哇!心里头都化了。他有没有女朋友?人家都结婚了。一看没有机会了,遗憾的要命。他没有老婆,那得赶紧冲上去。一冲上去,他有老婆了。那得搞一个运动,一夫多妻。为了啥?因为这世上渣男太多,怎么也得整一个英雄。这就是为啥有的人要推着整一夫多妻,因为英雄少呀!宁录三宫六院上千个老婆呀!没事,做一千零一。有钱嘛,英雄之首。渣男太多,英雄太少呀!有句话叫:安得猛士兮守四方呀!宁录太少了,想嫁给宁录的太多了,因此多一个也没关系。 崇拜英雄直到今天仍然如此,有一次,我去看一位老人家。这老人家腿脚都不太行了,我去看她时候也没几年活头了,她身体还不如我妈呢!一开口就说:你看人家老李家孩子发家了,你看人家院南边老张家的孩子,最近没少弄钱,跟我聊的全是这个。我想你跟我聊这些干啥?能不能跟我聊聊你儿子?哎呀!我儿子不行。那如果你儿子是宁录?那就老受安慰了。

你仔细看看这个世界是不是这样?当孩子考试得了第一名,母亲走路都不一样了,鼻孔都朝天了,下雨都往鼻孔里流,人就崇拜英雄。为何不想一想人生和死亡呢?这姐妹她妈去世了,我安慰她。其实,死是好的无比的,因为人一死,就会清醒一点。很多人的问题就是知道自己有赚钱的命,却不知道有没有花钱的命。像世界杯,这都是崇拜英雄。 世界杯踢球踢得多好呀!像我这样踢球的都成搞笑了,一场下来球都没踢着。人家踢过来,我这一踢踢太早了,脚抬起来甩起来了,球还没到,等我脚往回收的时候,球已经从我跨底下钻过去了。大家那个笑呀!怎么没有人过来看我这球呢?因为我这不叫英雄,我这叫狗熊。要知道崇拜英雄是个属世界的逻辑体系,破除这东西太难了。 有一天我带着一个姐妹去吃饭,就在红绿灯那一停。那姐妹坐在副驾,她妈坐在后面,然后她就在那,哇!我说:你哇啥呢?透过玻璃窗往外一看,旁边停了一个兰博基尼,趴在地上像个癞蛤蟆似的。然后,她就在那陶醉了,驾兰博基尼的是个帅哥。原来,来咱们教会找帅哥来了,咱教会没有这个。即使有,我也不让你认识。她们吃完了我的,喝完了我的,就说:老师,拜拜,我到别的地方去找驾兰博基尼的。我说:好吧,你去找驾兰博基尼的,像我驾这玩意儿不行。我说:驾兰博基尼的如果是个老头呢?她说:老头也行,我也愿意,只要他是个英雄,能买得起兰博基尼。

那你说这英雄有没有异象?有异象;有没有梦想?有梦想;有没有名?有名。但全是属世界的逻辑体系。这东西将来带来的败坏实在是太深了。所以,弟兄姐妹要开始了解,人一生的生命不长,七八十年,且行且珍惜呀!珍惜啥呢?因为时间不长,活一天就好好的开心一天呀!看见人家的生意比你大也不要羡慕,因为他的喜乐没你多,因为他看得没你透。所以,且行且珍惜。珍惜啥呢?珍惜神给你的恩典,珍惜人在活着的时候有神的供应,我们一生活在神的祝福和恩典当中。 一听这话,老师你又忽悠我呀?不忽悠,这条路才是好的路呀!这条路可以让人活得开心呀!这条路可以让人活得轻松呀!这条路不再让人卷到里头去呀!这条路让人活得自由自在,因为我们蒙恩就是为要我们得自由。如果你没尝过自由的味道,你不知道。不知道我就不告诉你了,人一生活出自由好呀!

属世界逻辑体系的败坏是显而易见的,不值得选择,也不值得崇拜所谓的英雄。秦始皇活得并不好,尽管他是世界英雄之首。出名未必好,人怕出名猪怕壮。除非像猪一样,不怕出名也不怕壮。这个世界的逻辑体系带来的败坏是深远的,让人生活在痛苦中。 有一天,骑着脚踏车在红绿灯处停下,旁边有个骑哈雷摩托车的人,座位很矮,车把很长,人坐在那里像个小猴子。他一加油,摩托车呼呼作响,很帅。如果心里想着自己的车不能这样,就会难受。如果没有这套世界的逻辑体系,骑着脚踏车也会很开心。旁边有哈雷或兰博基尼,和自己也无关,心情也不受影响。 这两套逻辑体系带来的痛苦和喜乐完全不同。如果骑着摩托车,看见旁边有汽车,也可以很开心。如果受属世界的逻辑体系影响,就会想着为什么不是四个轮子的,为什么不是兰博基尼。其实,坐在兰博基尼里头多闷,那么矮只能躺着开车,给了也不要。

这属世界的逻辑体系可以剥夺人一生的快乐。你永远比不上你上面的那个人,更何况你到了最上面的时候,你就快完蛋了。这不是人怕出名,猪怕壮,到了上面就成了待宰的猪,开始杀猪了。弟兄姐妹,能不能不再带着属世界的逻辑体系去攀登,而是在属神的逻辑体系里攀登?华人命定神学不是攀登巴别塔,华人命定神学攀登的是耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿。 登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿,一生喜乐无比。当你攀登属灵的真理,越来越多地认识真理,你就会越来越得胜。没有任何东西可以剥夺里面从神而来的恩典。不要说中国的首富没有好结果,全世界都这样。那是属世界的逻辑体系导致的。别只说中国,哪里都这样。 感谢神,做耶和华神的祭司好得无比,一生不致缺乏。这是世上最快乐、最美好的职业。弟兄姐妹,渴望做耶和华神的祭司,好得无比啊!神为爱祂的人预备的是眼睛未曾看过,耳朵未曾听过,心里未曾想过。问题就是人爱神多还是不多。 很多人爬巴别塔爬累了,就来这里说:老师为我祷告。我说:祷啥呀,你干脆别再爬那巴别塔了,跟我登耶和华的山吧。这不是祷告能解决的事,是你心思意念的问题。

好些年前,有一个人介绍了一个很有名的牧师,是个大教会的大牧师,他得了脑瘤。我这种人名不见经传。我就说我服侍吧。为什么我服侍他?因为他的好朋友开教会,我去那参观顺便医好了一个全身过电的,另外医好了一个半身不遂的。他就说:哇,你太厉害了,你一定要服侍他,这是我好朋友,得脑瘤了。我说那就服侍吧。 我说:您是大教会的大牧师,您讲一讲为什么得脑瘤?他就跟我说:我做牧师一个礼拜只能休息一天。我听着那个难受,心里想:那你还要休息几天?休息一天还觉得不够,我从二十多岁到今天还没休息过一天呐!要得也轮不到你得呀。然后他说:教会里的事太多,我管三五十个小组,一共三五十个小组长。这小组长每三年换一茬。我说:为什么呢?他说:每三年换一茬,因为小组长一个礼拜要来教会一次领袖培训,还有一天带小组,然后主日还要来教会,这样就干不长,得烧焦啊!焦一个我就得再去整一个,再焦一个,再去整一个,所以我这个累啊!我心里说:我们教会的普通会友都比你们这小组长花的时间多,但是也没焦。我就想他这是什么逻辑?他又说:我能不得脑瘤吗? 原来是这样,累啊。后来我就在想:为啥我没累呢?因为我喜欢,一说我喜欢,就没法比了。我喜欢干和不喜欢干那差别太大了。我爱神,我享受服侍神。人不爱神,旅游就会很享受,服侍神就会很痛苦。神不给你个瘤,给你啥呢?你这回也真的成了瘤牧师了。我鼓励大家,享受爱神。我爱神,我尽心尽性尽力爱主我的神,所以老也烧不焦,神的火降在我的身上都烧不焦啊!我里头充满了热情,我就享受爱神。一个人爱神就会愿意谨守遵行神的话,愿意服侍祂,愿意甘心乐意为神的羊舍命。烧什么焦?我光把别人整焦了。 有一些牧师看我干得这么好,自己干得不好,就变成了焦牧师,焦久了就成了瘤牧师了。我的意思是这世界的逻辑体系太败坏了,本来姓陈后来变成瘤牧师了,李牧师也变瘤牧师,那牧师都变成瘤牧师了,真的很败坏。所以永远不要再传扬自己的名,永远不再建塔顶通天。永远不建什么大教堂,永远不要把人都聚在一起,而是让他们分散在全地上,这样好的无比。神的心意可以因着我们得着满足,我们就会被记载在神的书卷上。

所以永远不要再传扬自己的名,永远不再建塔顶通天。永远不建什么大教堂,永远不要把人都聚在一起,而是让他们分散在全地上,这样好的无比。神的心意可以因着我们得着满足,我们就会被记载在神的书卷上。 将来的名要被记载在生命册上。虽然不追求自己的名,但神使名为大,要在这个世代看见神的荣耀。其他的人《圣经》懒得记了,神的书卷懒得记巴别塔上那些人,爬吧,好好爬吧,别下来了,不要往两边看,一直往前爬,就会融化在西边的蓝天里。至于我们,登耶和华的山,进雅各神的殿,不断地认识神,认识神的真理。这个世代不是因着个人的名,而是因着耶稣基督的名得着恩惠,阿们!

Teacher, my child said that he wants to be the first in the exam, become a scientist when he grows up, and build his own company when he grows up. Are these the spirits of the Tower of Babel? How to distinguish between pursuing one's own name and pursuing God's name?

If people don't know that living is empty, how can they pursue God's name?
