In the Beginning was the Word pt 4: The Choice of God, The Voice of God

In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful
The word ALONE is limited. There are hundreds of languages on the planet. I write this in English. You read this in English. You can understand what I write because we have an agreement on the meaning of these words. If you speak Spanish, these words alone may have the same meaning to me, but you would not understand them. Then words are limited, right? Not Quite.
To solve this problem scripturally, we must turn to the book of Genesis in a town called Babel (Gen 11:1-15). It is interesting that Babel was the pre-cursor to Babylon (and the wise know who Babylon was a sign of). In that town “all of the people used to speak the same language, and they were trying to build this tower and it says that God saw them and said that he was not pleased with what he saw. And it was He who decided to confuse their language and separate them in each way to their own area*.” WOW!! So, God is the one who decided to cause us to adopt these numerous languages, but why?
We must begin to try to get into the mind of God today. It would be one of the descendants of slaves in the modern Babylon who would become the voice of God. This one is be able to connect to people regardless of land, language, or color. These are barriers that the s-n of man is able to transcend. How? “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit (Zech 4:6).” This S-n of Man whom the world has awaited has such a beautiful spirit that when he speaks truth it can reach us ALL regardless of the language we speak. And as it was written, his sheep KNOW his VOICE*(John 10:27). Interestingly, it doesn’t say his language.
The art of communication is not merely the mixture of numerous letters that shape words. The SPIRIT that we carry when we deliver the word carries an unmatched weight. When we speak, the way we match words together, our tone, our passion, and in general the spirit we are in does just as much to convey that word as the word itself.
SOLUTIONS!! Lets personalize it! In the Old Testament the title “Messiah” is not only applied to this ONE man. It is applied to prophets, kings, and sometimes-even objects. The Messiah or s-n of man is one wiped over (anointed) with oil (the spirit of God). We ALL can be little s-n’s of man or Messiah’s. SOLUTION #1: Keep up Prayer and the Remembrance of God. The More we pray and remember our Creator the greater his spirit will be in us! SOLUTION #2: STAY IN A POSITIVE MOOD. To do this we must keep positive thoughts. Always look for the Brightside. SOLUTION #3: FIND THE S-N of MAN!!! Harken unto the Voice of the Lord (Psalms 30:2)!
PS-I Know some of ya’ll are wondering why I omit the letter “o” from the title Son of Man. More on this next time

*Quote from Min. Abel Muhammad
*For those still reading, definitions are important! Voice- “Sound produced by and characteristic of a specific person or animal. Such sound used to represent the person or being who produces it, or such sound considered separately from the utterer, esp. as the subject of a verb of speaking. The expressed will or desire of God, heaven, etc.; divine command, ordinance, or word.”-- Oxford English Dictionary
Seriously, this will be the last about words..LOL

I'll give you this: Black Muslims have a better understanding of the Bible (and Qu'ran) than Black Baptists do. (Yeah, I said it)
