In this episode, Sam and Will explore how ancient Babylon used towering structures and ziggurats to claim divine authority over people. We look at the Code of Hammurabi, the Enuma Elish creation myth, and archaeological evidence that the tower really existed. The word "Babel" originally meant "gateway of God" before it came to mean "confusion" in Hebrew. Most powerfully, this episode contrasts the ethics of Babel (our name, our kingdom, our will) with the ethics of Jesus in the Lord's Prayer (your name, your kingdom, your will), challenging us to consider whose kingdom we're building. If you're exploring the Bible or want to understand how ancient history connects to your faith today, this is a great place to start. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
