Summary

This is part two of our discussion about the Tower of Babel in the context of Universal History. Richard Rohlin and I recap and continue our discussion on the Book of Jubilees and Pentecost, discussing more in-depth the Feast of First Fruits, and what it means as a structure by which communion between heaven and earth can be facilitated - of unity and multiplicity. The duality of Pentecost explains several strange moments in Scripture and the apocryphal texts, most notably the laws of Noah, the covenant of Abraham, the scandal of Lot, and of course the Tower of Babel itself.

0:00.0	So the big idea that I wanted to sort of pitch is that there's only one Pentecost.
0:07.9	And that this Pentecost happens at one point in like an eternal moment.
0:14.6	And Noah and Abraham and Moses and the apostles all participate in that day of Pentecost.
0:22.0	But so did the people at the Tower of Babel.
0:24.7	Yeah. So did the people at the Tower of Babel.
0:27.6	And that if you participated it correctly, then it will unify and also multiply.
0:33.8	And if you don't give it your focus, if you don't give it your attention correctly, then you're going to be divided and you're going to be scattered.
0:41.3	This is Jonathan Peugeot. Welcome to the symbolic world.
0:57.0	So hello everyone. I am back with Richard Rowland for Universal History.
1:11.6	This is the first episode we're recording after the Sybalch World Summit, if I remember correctly.
1:16.6	That's right.
1:17.6	Yeah. And so what we want to do is go back into the Tower of Babel story because Richard has some amazing reveals about that story and how it connects, you know, to the Old Testament.
1:29.2	I mean, how it connects to Pentecost in crazy ways that, that, yeah, it just blew me away when
1:34.5	I found them out.
1:35.2	So I think that we definitely need to go back into that.
1:38.1	So Richard, take us, take us away.
1:40.2	Yeah.
1:40.7	So I'm going to kind of give away the farm now. There were some things that I was teasing a little bit in the last Tower Babel video that we did. And I said, you've got to come to the summit to get the rest of it. And of course, lots of people couldn't come to the summit. So the good news is I'm going to basically kind of give you guys what, you know, what was missing? Because actually at the summit,
2:01.1	I still couldn't say everything that I wanted to say.
2:03.2	Because it just wasn't time and I was trying to be respectful of the other speakers and not take their time.
2:09.7	Because that's like the unforgivable sin as a presenter is going over your time.
2:12.9	So I'm going to talk a little bit.
