First Kathisma, Zabin - Psalm of
David’s. Without Superscription among the Hebrews, 1.
Blessed is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the pestilent. But his will is rather in the law of the Lord, and in His law will he meditate day and night. And he shall be like the tree which is planted by the streams of the waters, which shall bring forth its fruit in its season; and its leaf shall not fall, and all things whatsoever he may do shall prosper. Not so are the ungodly, not so; but rather they are like the chaff which the wind doth hurl away from the face of the earth. For this reason shall the ungodly not stand up in judgement, nor sinners in the council of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, and the way of the ungodly shall perish.
Tell El Obeid
This is what is left of the Tower of Babel Ubaid: Tell El-Ubaid that had stood in the plain of Shinar (Mesopotamia - modern Iraq) that God punished the people for building and divided their language into many conflicting tongues to prevent them from accomplishing their aim of storming heaven and acting as gods over the whole earth. The idea of trying to say that curse extends to today to the modern Iraqi people or that they are somehow sacred as opposed to other people because of the Tower of Babel and where it stood is absurd. All people on earth are equally descended from the inhabitants of Mesopotamia of that time. That was somewhat after the flood of Noah.
6 And he said: Behold, it is one people, and all have one tongue: and they have begun to do this, neither will they leave off from their designs, till they accomplish them in deed. 7 Come ye, therefore, let us go down, and there confound their tongue, that they may not understand one another's speech. 8 And so the Lord scattered them from that place into all lands, and they ceased to build the city. 9 And therefore the name thereof was called Babel, because there the language of the whole earth was confounded: and from thence the Lord scattered them abroad upon the face of all countries.
God voided the covenant
The core of the "Israeli" lie is that they are the people that God made a land covenant with in the area called Palestine for nearly two thousand years. In the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapters 28 -- 32 God explicitly tells Moses that the ancient Israelites will trangress the land covenant with God and God will void the covenant permanently and cast them out.
And my wrath shall be kindled against them in that day: and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured: all evils and afflictions shall find them, so that they shall say in that day: In truth it is because God is not with me, that these evils have found me."
This came to pass forevermore exactly as Our Lord Jesus Christ said 1500 years later when He prophesied the utter destruction of the Temple. That destruction occurred in 70 A.D. God also granted the descendants of Ishmael the land {this covenant has never been revoked by God but instead expanded on in God's revelation of Islam to Muhammad (PBUH)} since God was done with land covenants that had the specific purpose of pointing to His revelation of the Messiah with the Incarnation, Death and Burial and Resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ. For, as the Church Fathers taught, the land covenant was only a type of the Resurrection of Christ, and the resurrection of all men by virtue of the Cross of Christ – His Kenosis.
See:
Gn:21:17:
17 And God heard the voice of the boy [Ishmael]: and an angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, saying: What art thou doing, Hagar? fear not; for God hath heard the voice of the boy, from the place wherein he is.
18 Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation."
From that land covenant with Ishmael, God, Allah (SWT) brought forth the covenant with people revealed first to the Arab people which is Islam and that is at the same time a total reaffirmation of the covenants with Moses and with Christians through the only Messiah who is Jesus Christ. That covenant of Islam is written in classical Arabic - the Holy Qur'an. Classical Arabic is the coming together of the pre-classical Arabic and Aramaic which are descended from ancient Biblical Hebrew. The New Testament and Old Testament Septuagint are in Koine Greek (an amalgam or construct of all five Greek dialects at that time beginning with the most classical Attic). The Septuagint is a divinely inspired translation of the Biblical Hebrew just as the Septuagint New Testament, the Injil, is the divinely inspired record of Our Lord Jesus Christ's coming to earth at His incarnation. Masoretic Hebrew and worse yet, modern Hebrew, are corruptions. The Talmud is a mockery and utterly devoid of truth; it has nothing to do with God's word in the Bible.
Christians and Muslims together is a blessing willed by God.
