Why Diversity?

 

Revelation 7:9

 

John sees every tribe, tongue, and nation before the Throne of Yahweh – in Eternity. So it would seem that by this testimony from Scripture homogenization can not be applied to Mankind. Therefore if the perfect is diverse expressions of every tribe, tongue, and nation what then is the homogenized expression of Mankind? Genesis 11:1-6 explains quite well, it is rebellion, an affront, deriving from the open defiance against Yahweh’s cardinal command to Man – “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the Earth” – Genesis 1:28 repeated after the flood Genesis 9:1, and the instrument used by Lucifer through Man to, “reach into heaven”. Around the story of The Tower of Babel is wrapped the defiance born of sin to remain in one place, become powerful, and bring down the Throne of the Creator – Yahweh. Reality points to the continued battle for the rule of creation started by Lucifer in Heaven – Ezekiel 28:11f Matthew 4:8-10 now taken to the Earth. This fallen angle who enlisted one third of the Angelic hosts desires to enlist the sons of Adam – Yahweh’s image, Genesis 1:26-27, into his battle to rule creation.

We looked at the in “Every Tribe Tongue and Nation” from the one every and the image of Yahweh becomes revealed /exampled through the diversity seen across the Earth at the quelling of the coup at Babel. You say why visit this again? Because the “from every comes one” reflects the god who’s image this rebellion sprouts. The Creator reveals Himself as we have explored through the Omniness of Himself incarnated across the Earth expressed within the finiteness of Man in the variety/diversity of Adam’s children. However, the homogenizing better known by us today as “modernity” being offered temptingly to Man as the key to peace because the differences inherent among men are divisive and ancient the source of war and so forth. This singularity reflects the “god” of this world. Lucifer is a created being not in the image of Yahweh therefore not bearing the Trinitarian nature. His image incarnated has to be a singularity or he would be even in his rebellion, glorifying Yahweh his creator. Therefore, unity movements expressed through commonalities eradicating distinctions have their roots in satanic soil. Uniformity destroys diversity. Without diversity Yahweh’s image can not be made known through man as is His plan. When dissonant expressions of spirituality are eliminated either theologically or through worship then the contrast between true religion and false is eliminated. The elimination allows Lucifer to be the unchallenged single god easily explained because everything is uniformly expressed throughout what eyes can see. And to question…

What are the implications – I do not have the space here to express them here, however thoughtful people can draw out of meditating upon these thoughts conclusions. After all the diversity of the thoughts of Man are the revelation of Yahweh and a part of that revelation is the mind of Christ!
