The apostle Paul declared "we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, (known only to the initiated or saved)[1] even the hidden wisdom of God, which God ordained before the world unto our glory." (1Cor.2:7, Matt 13:11-15,Prov 25:2) One part of the "mystery" is in the "language" Old Testament types and shadows (1Cor.1o:11, Heb.10:1-10). The admonition is the same today as it was to the Corinthian Church, Brethren, "I would not that ye should be ignorant." (i.e. Don't ignore, don't oppose, don't loath, don't have a reluctance towards)[2] how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea...baptized in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ." (1Cor.10:1-11) "Now all these things, i.e. every "jot"[3] and "tittle"[4]happened unto them for ensamples (types) and they (the Old Testament scriptures) are written for our admonition, (our generation today) upon whom the ends of the world are come." (1Cor.10:11-12, Matt.13:11-15)
I. The power of one language / speech / words
From the time that God created Adam and Eve, (Gen.1-10) "the whole earth was of one language and of one speech" until the tower of Babel. (Gen.11:1-2) This produced such a unity of purpose (i.e. a rebellious purpose against God) that "the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. 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." (Gen.11:5-8)God said, ”Go to, let us go down, and there confound (confuse, mix their language that they may not understand another's speech So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city." (Gen.11:5-8)
A. "Confound"[10]the language and stop the purpose!
Lucifer (Devil, Satan, Dragon, spirit of antichrist Isa.14:11-14, Rev.12:9; 13:4, 2Thes.2:4) knows and counterfeits this principle today! It began with Eve in the Garden of Eden, when he said, "Yea hath God said..." (Gen.3:1) and Revelation reveals him to be standing before the Woman (The last Eve / Bride of Christ Rev.12:1-4) [5] in these last days. Lucifer's tactics ("wiles" Eph.6:11) have not changed.
B. Paul warned the 1st. Cent. Corinthian Church He writes, "I fear, lest by any means,[6] as the serpent beguiled Eve (Gen.3:1-24) through his subtilty, (trickery, cunning, craftiness, "wiles" Eph.6:11)[7] so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity (singleness)[8] that is in Christ" (2Cor.11:3-4) There were false "ministers of righteousness" were speaking a mixed language[9] to “confound”[10] God's Purpose. (2Cor.11:1- 15, Matt.13:24-30, 36-43, Deut.13:1-3) Eve added her own words to God's Words which resulted in confusion / deception / Babylon, (Compare Gen.2:16-17 and Gen.3:3)
C. Itis the same warning to the 21st. Cent. Church TODAY
We need to "fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve(Gen.3:1-24) through his subtilty, (trickery, cunning, craftiness, "wiles" Eph.6:11) so your minds (Rom.12:1-2, 2Thes.2:1-2) should be corrupted from the simplicity (singleness) that is in Christ" 2Cor.11:1-15)
