While the Russia-Ukraine conflict continues forth, and Russia continues to be ostracized by Western powers, Russians roughly two hundred miles from the Ukrainian border burned an effigy of the famed tower of babel in scripture.
Two weeks ago, Russians gathered in Nikola-Lenivets in the Kaluga region, which Israel 365 News reported was during the Maslenitsa Pancake folk festival.
Reported by Oddity Central, Ekaterina Polyakova, with the help of 16 others, built this scaled-down replica of the common depictions of the tower of babel out of wooden logs, brushwood, timber, and hay. The tower stood at 23 meters tall (approx. 75.5 feet).
Russians in the region have been burning effigies since 2001 to celebrate Slavic holiday of Maslenitsa – a holiday that symbolizes the passing of winter to Spring, representing a new beginning.
It so happened that the Tower of Babel was never completed because of the discord between people and entire nations. The current one, which we are building for Maslenitsa in Nikola-Lenivets, serves as a modern symbol of such disunity.
Ekaterina Polyakova explained
We want it to be an event that brings people together and helps them get through what is going on in the world. We have to adjust the program- there is no place for frivolous fun. This year, Pancake Day is not a holiday, not a joyful carnival, but an artistic statement.
Ivan Polissky, manager of the park told the media
The following videos provide a few different angles and time lapses of the burning:
The story of the tower of babel is mentioned in 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 throughly. 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.Genesis 11:1-9
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
I have covered in another report I did over a year ago that the popular depictions of the tower of babel are not accurate, but would have looked like something more along these lines:
This is a called a “ziggurat,” and Oxford Dictionary even references the tower of babel as an example of one: “(in ancient Mesopotamia) a rectangular stepped tower, sometimes surmounted by a temple. Ziggurats are first attested in the late 3rd millennium BC and probably inspired the biblical story of the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1–9).”
That being said, the tower of babel was the true first “world order,” and God confounded man’s language so the people could be dispersed and spread out. Now the world is trying again, and very much succeeding, in bringing the world together as one; ultimately culminating to what the Bible prophesizes would happen:
[7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. [8] And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.Revelation 13:7-8, referring to the antichrist, and “Satanic trinity” in other verses
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I’m not really surprised that the masters of Rome portrayed the Tower of Babel unrealistically & looking phallic, as it’s a part of their double entendre ‘g’ & sorcery, their religion, their faith & rock that is not as our Rock, even our enemies being the judges. But when I saw this, I thought of two things.
–
One: The festivals of Burning Man for the ‘commoners’ & the Cremation of Care for the craft elite& cronies, managers, ‘knights’ and wouldbe ‘gods’….very Druidic, very pagan & Babylonish. Very Luciferian in the guise of idolatrous ‘piety’ supposedly biblical & ‘Christian’: subtle.
–
and Two: For all the media & steerers have dumb-bum Biden acting the prodding idiot & bumbling fool ‘causing’ war, making Russia desperate….Russia is responsible for so much brutally enforced & conditioned godlessness & bloodshed & suffering (allowed, financed & carefully studied by the same occulted powers that managed the ‘transformation’ of Ukraine with a few embedded former SS & never renounced, repentant, or reformed nazis)….& this is horrible. But it is also in God’s control, & part of his plan of redemption & judgment. Note: ‘I will turn thee back, and I will put hooks into thy jaws, & I will bring thee forth….
–
Not yet, but it’s coming in the time of Jacob’s trouble, Daniel’s 70th week, setting the stage. Gog is associated with the chief princes of Reuben who first apostasized & were the first of Israel to be judged by the Assyrian, dispersed. Judah & little Benjamin’s judgment by Babylon coming later. I strongly believe there will be dual & threefold fulfillment of this in the pattern of the Old Testament judgment of the Jews, & Romans 9-11, & then finally a third repeat at the very end.
Can’t be dogmatic, but it so fits the scripture & scriptural pattern.

Their star/winged dove, piercing sword, male/female thing as the emblem on their SS patches will fall as lightning (also that sideways lightning on the SS patches, associated w/ the Baals & all the false gods, but truly created, controlled & wielded by God: the unlawful & lawful, the legitimate authority & the illegit pretending, usurping) to the earth w/ the key to the bottomless pit; & their flaming one, their ‘Phoenix’ will arise. This going as the pattern of occult manipulations did before in Germany under the direction of the Jesuits & Hitler as the masculine dialectic, the Nazis; pretending to be ‘Christian’; but there was also the utterly pagan feminine occult mysticism at work w/ sodomy & so forth, both pantheist & Babylonian corporations seeking global power & empire…also deceiving many professing Christians, nazi & communist; & with Jews caught up in both ‘sides’ as very successful bankers, & corporate businessmen & merchants on one hand; and as mystical kabalist & Talmudic philosophers, educators etc on the other. As today. As in both wicked Ukraine and wicked Russia.

But when they get their desire, & the prize which they seek, it won’t be quite as they expect.

Ezekiel 38:1 ¶ And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Eze 38:2 Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
Eze 38:3 And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
Eze 38:4 And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
Eze 38:5 Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
Eze 38:6 Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.
Eze 38:7 Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
Eze 38:8 After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
Eze 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

If they make the ‘deal’ & confirm the covenant with many, as men are seeking now, it would divide the land again into a northern & southern territory, with enemies between. Trump an antichrist type of the ‘deal-maker’ for certain sure, though again, I don’t think he’s the antichrist. Still, he, Kushner, the craft pope, Jews& rabbis, & imams sure set up a cup of trembling, & a false Babylonian idolatrous humanist hope with that Three Abrahamic, Three ‘Monotheistic’, religion thing. Tons of money pouring in to build its complex, no doubt a ‘smart’ city, supposedly ‘sustainable’ & ‘green’, & sodomite friendly….as well as the Temple which is all prepared in readiness for the signal to build. That city called spiritually Sodom and Egypt in which the two witnesses will witness, & be murdered by their beast & false hope come out of the bottomless pit: Abaddon in the Hebrew, Apollyon in the Greek. Those two in unity with all the nations & religions of the the world, the spirit & god of this world, but then sudden destruction.
–
If they feel safe under some coalition & connected to it, are given the green light to build that illegit third temple, even some type of the Great Reset, using the drones & surveillance etc: those walls could come down pretty quickly, & things progress from there. A cyber attack affecting ‘those not in compliance’, as their so-called ‘sanctions’ would plunge the world into suffering & desperation, coming against their ‘smart’ness, their ‘wisdom’, their ‘g’ in a hurry, & on horseback w/ swords.

Though I’ve been doing a fascinating study on the horses of Zechariah 6 & Revelation 6. The horses have the same colors, but are sent out in differing order. The black horses which go to the north country & quiet the Lord’s Spirit accomplished the judgment on the Egyptian & Assyrrian coalition by the Lord’s rod of chastening Babylon, in coalition with the Medes, Persians & Scythians. Togarmah & Tubal to which the unstable Reuben’s people had been scattered & resettled: that is, the survivors. ‘Gog’ was of the chief princes of Reuben. The battle of Carchemish was fought to the north of Israel & Judah, & fulfilled the prophecy, the burden, given against the Assyrrian & Pharoah & Egypt. But the Assyrian & Pharoah are also types of antichrist, satanically inspired & driven men, ambitious men, builders, who would be gods. And both Egypt & Syria are mentioned in connection with the millennial reign, both with regard to blessings & curses.

Just like Dan is missing from Revelation 7, & with the half-tribes of Joseph: Ephraim & Manasseh both counted to make up the difference. But shows back up & given territory in the millennial kingdom when the land is divided in the latter chapters of Ezekiel. Pictures of God’s justice & judgment, with mercy & grace as well. Never arbitrarily cruel & holy, holy, holy with no evil in himself.
It’s fascinating how in Zechariah 6 the horses are described as being ‘in the chariots’, they’re spiritual, angelic beasts….& linked with the chariots of God, cherubs, flaming & fire, destroying angels & warriors. Cross-referencing with Elijah’s being caught up to heaven, the Psalms about God riding upon a cherub, chariots, & his chariots They’re real, & they’re living, alive. Ezekiel 1&2; 8-10; 28 KJB; 2 Kings 6 & 23.
–
The four horses also seem to correspond to those beast spirits associated with the throne of God in Revelation 4….though in Ezekiel they have 4 wings & 4 faces; & in Revelation 6 wings & each with only one of the four faces. And Satan is the fallen cherub that covereth & has a counterfeit of everything. No wonder men’s hearts are going to fail them for fear, & for looking upon what is coming upon the earth when this warfare breaks out into the visible, when the powers of heaven are shaken.

Puts our own current fears & trials into perspective a bit.
