For What It's Worth...Something Is Happening



I grew up in a theological background that focused too much on the Apocalypse and Tribulation. So, when it comes to talking about those types of topics (which I rarely have) I tread carefully. Let me be clear, I am not a Pre-Tribulation, Armageddon and Rapture zealot…but something is definitely on the horizon in the System of the World. A storm if you will. There is a great paradigm shift starting to happen and many that are not in the halls of power are starting to realize it and kick back. Many have told me I am being irresponsible making these types of statements. I personally believe I am being irresponsible if I don’t warn people.

There are many in government, media, academia and the wealthy that believe that Communism can really work. They believe that the reason places like the former Soviet Union failed is because they just didn’t have the technology to manage a planned economy. The computing power, networks and financials just weren’t up to snuff. They believe now with the advent of A.I., the Internet, centralized world banks, consolidated wealth and international fiscal interdependence...it would now be feasible. The problem with this is that it is not the system itself that would be the death knell. It is human nature and greed. They will not be content to give half or more of their earnings to a stranger. Those that work would have no incentive to continue to work when they see others being bums. We see the outcome of this type of economic system even today in California and New York. They have the aforementioned technology to manage the economics and still are failing horrendously.

Unfortunately, the previously mentioned groups are going to keep forcing this on the populace and the more they do the more people will fight back. We’re starting to see it in the rural areas of the United States. We see it in Convoy 2022 in Canada. It is starting in Australia and Europe too. The people are tired of being repressed and the governments refuse to relinquish power choosing to gobble up even more. Those in positions of power who continue to force the Marxist philosophy are realizing their chances of doing this now are slipping away so they are attacking and being extremely aggressive with anyone that counters their narrative. Joe Rogan is only the most recent example. The question has become, who gets to the kill switch first…either the counterculture populace or the Marxist machine. The fighting is already starting. If you thought COVID was bad…that was just a warm-up. We failed that test and we’re going to fail the next one even worse. This is going to split neighborhoods, families, companies and even churches. In some cases, it already has…which some idiots in the church helped along.

Ancestral Origins

The Sumerian language was spoken in southern Mesopotamia (Iraq) and was the first language to be written in the cuneiform script. It is an isolate language meaning we know of no other languages that relate to it ancestrally. The language was spoken in a region where Semitic languages were also known to be spoken, particularly Akkadian, and it eventually fell out of use by the time of 2000 BC. However literary forms of the language continued to be written for another 2000 years. It also had notable influences on all other Semitic languages of the region including Hebrew, the language of the Israelites. I believe, if understood correctly the proto-Sumerian language was the original language referred to prior to the tower of Babel in Genesis 11. It may not have been Sumerian per se but it was certainly close to that language.

Genesis 10:6-10 The sons of Ham: Cush, Egypt, 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 became 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.

Little is known about when Sumerian-speaking people arrived in southern Mesopotamia, assuming they did not originate there. Either way, from a very early period a multilingual environment existed in southern Mesopotamia, which included languages like Sumerian, an early form of Akkadian, other Semitic languages, and Hurrian. Some scholars have posited the possibility of an otherwise unknown substrate, or influencing language of the area, due to the presence of words of unknown origin in Sumerian writings.

Genesis 11:1, 5-9 Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there (Babylon)…..But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, “If as one people speaking the same language, they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.” So, the Lord scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel because there the Lord confused the language of the whole world. From there the Lord scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

A substrate or single underlying language lost to history. It has been demonstrated linguistically that later Semitic words, as a majority are compounds in Sumerian, or words of no clear origin. The preponderance of these words are, in-fact mostly administrative texts, arithmetic and some are wordlists used for scribal education. Like a people building a tower perhaps? Our knowledge of earliest known Sumerian literature comes to the fore during the Early Dynastic Period III (EDIII) >2500 BC or prior to Abraham in Chapter 12 of Genesis approximately 2000BC. So, if we adhere to a superficial timeline, we could assume that the base Sumerian language is at least a few hundred to a thousand years prior to Abraham. That means the time gap between Genesis 11 and 12 could be at least a millennium or more. The Semitic language from which all others arose or diverged therefore came prior to the time of Abraham between Genesis 11 and 12…right within the time of the Tower of Babel narrative.
