Wednesday: “Let Us Go Down”
Read Genesis 11:5-7 and Psalm 139:7-12. Why did God come down to the earth here? What was the event that motivated this divine reaction?
Ironically, although the men were going up, God had to come down to them. The descent of God is an affirmation of His supremacy. God will always be beyond our human reach. Any human effort to rise up to Him and to meet Him in heaven is useless and ridiculous. No question, that’s why, in order to save us, Jesus came down to us; there was, indeed, no other way for Him to save us.

A great irony in the Tower of Babel account is seen in God’s statement: “to see the city and the tower” (Genesis 11:5). God did not have to come down to see (Psalm 139:7-12; compare with Psalm 2:4), but He did so anyway. The concept emphasizes God’s involvement with humanity.
Read Luke 1:26-33. What does this teach us about God’s coming down to us?
The descent of God reminds us also of the principle of righteousness by faith and of the process of God’s grace. Whatever work we may perform for God, He will still have to come down to meet with us. It is not what we do for God that will bring us to Him and to redemption. Instead, it is God’s move toward us that will save us. In fact, twice the text in Genesis talks about God going “down,” which seems to imply how much He cared about what was happening there.
According to the text, the Lord wanted to put an end to the people’s deep-seated unity, which — given their fallen state — could lead only to more and more evil. That’s why He chose to confuse their languages, which would bring an end to their united schemes.
“The schemes of the Babel builders ended in shame and defeat. The monument to their pride became the memorial of their folly. Yet men are continually pursuing the same course — depending upon self, and rejecting God’s law. It is the principle that Satan tried to carry out in heaven; the same that governed Cain in presenting his offering.” — Ellen G. White, Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 123.
| How do we see in the Tower of Babel account another example of human hubris and how, ultimately, it will fail? What personal lessons can we take from this story? |
Amen!

Are Ellen White’s Writings Reliable And Biblically Based?
Whose Truth Is Truly True? There are over 45,000 different Christian denominations in the world today, not including other traditional faiths that have diverse interpretations and understandings of the Bible. When God's people are confronted with a tangled web of contradictory truth claims, the Bible reminds us that God uses His prophetic filter to clarify and elevate truth, as well as His prophetic lighthouse to beam light and direct people to the safe harbor of truth. The gift of prophecy, of which Ellen White's writings are a unique component, acts as God's truth filter, filtering out false interpretations of the Bible, while confirming the right. They are a prophetic lighthouse that sheds light on the heart, imprinting the truths of inspiration that have already been revealed. Watch as Dwain Esmond presents Ellen White's writings as a powerful filter and lighthouse that can lead us back to Bible truths and direct us to our eternal home.
