Babel/ Babylon is the head of gold. The pattern established by Babel/ Babylon is the pattern man’s government, or as Revelation calls it, the kingdoms of this world, will follow – Babel is the head. The kingdoms of this world will lord it over men, not serve them. They will never be content with the authority they have but will ever seek to increase it. They will rebel against God. They will seek to replace the worship of God with their own religion, which will be a form of paganism. They will not be content with political power, even as a tyranny; they will always seek religious power also. They will ever make the worshipers of God their enemies. Babel/ Babylon Index.

The psalm describes the greatness of God, and glory of God, in His works. In wisdom He has made them all. He provides for the needs of His creation. That includes you and me! Aren’t you glad? ♥
John 21, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: John Index
This is what so encouraged me this morning. Jesus had told Peter before His trial and crucifixion, that Satan had demanded to sift him like wheat (Luk 22:31-34). But Peter failed Jesus, and denied Him three times. When he realized what he had done, he went out and wept bitterly. All of us can relate! But when the angel announced to the women that Jesus was risen from the dead, he told them to go tell the disciples – and Peter – that He would meet them in Galilee (Mar 16:6-7). Which brings us to today’s meeting between the disciples and Jesus at the Sea of Galilee. Because Peter had been sifted like wheat, and did not pass the test, he removed himself from the disciples. The test might not even have been, Will you not deny Jesus when the whole world has turned against Him?
The test might have been, When the arm of flesh fails you, will you still believe what God has told you? The real sifting did not begin until after the denial.
