n Genesis 45:13, Joseph, the incredible type of Christ, tells his brothers, “tell my father of all my glory.” John 13:31 teaches those of us who are Christ’s brothers (Heb. 2:11) that God is glorified as we glorify His Son! Oh, may we tell the Father of all of Christ’s glory today!

Satan makes this world’s system look attractive, promising, alluring and enticing, but it’s designed to chew us up and spit us out! When Abraham gave Lot the choice of the land he wanted (13:8–11), Sodom appeared to Lot to be a place of peace, prosperity, and protection. In the end, it turned out to be a place of conflict, compromise, and casualty.

Like Melchizedek, the Lord Jesus Christ, our Righteous King, is not of human descent. He is the Prince of Peace, the God and Lord of peace, and will soon take up His throne in Jerusalem to rule as King over all the world.

The city is the symbol of government, and the tower symbolizes religion. Practically speaking, the city and tower of Babel were Satan’s attempt to unite the people of the earth in a one-world government, with a one-world religion, under one king. Obviously, Nimrod is a forerunner and type of the Antichrist, a king of rebellion who seeks to establish a world empire by unifying the people of the earth in a one-world government and religion.
