Babbling Prophecy??

Last night Michael and I were visiting with two of our close friends regarding the current day prophetic ministry. We all agreed that today many are becoming very discouraged and concerned about the varying degree of differences in the Words coming forth from those offering “thus saith the Lord”. On one hand one will prophesy that prosperous times are ahead, just believe, have faith, and see that the Lord will come through for us in America, while on the other hand, dreams, visions, and words are being shared of the judgment of God coming forth against America. Also, just recently we all remember the horrendous division springing forth regarding the Lakeland outpouring in Florida, led by Todd Bentley. There is MUCH confusion on what to believe!

As we shared these thoughts with one another the thought ran through my own mind, “Could the Lord be scrambling the language once again as He did in Genesis 11 with those building the tower of Babel?”

Babbling prophecy? Are there those trying to make a name for themselves as was done in Genesis 4:11? Give this some thought.


Genesis 11

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 thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
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 the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

  1. This possibly explains so much of the
    differing voices we are hearing lately
    in the prophetic realm. Thank you!!
