Babel means confusion.
Les Feldick states plainly that 'Babel, and it means confusion.' The Bible records that the city was named Babel because the LORD confounded the language of all the earth, so the people could no longer understand one another and were scattered.
Genesis 11:9 — This verse explicitly states that the city's name was called Babel because the LORD confused the language of all the earth.
Genesis 11 records that the whole earth had one language and one speech. The people gathered in the plain of Shinar and began building a city and a tower, refusing to scatter as God had instructed. The LORD came down, looked at what they were doing, and confounded their language so that they could not understand one another's speech. Genesis 11:9 gives the origin of the name: 'Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.' Thus the Bible directly ties the name Babel to the confusion of human language.
Les Feldick directly teaches that Babel means confusion. He says in his teaching, 'You all know the account of Babel, and it means confusion,' and 'the other word for Babylon, or what we normally think of as Babel, is confusion.' Les also emphasizes that the Tower of Babel was built in rebellion against God's command to scatter and repopulate the earth. Under Nimrod, the people gathered together and attempted to replace God's instruction with a religious system promoted by Satan. Les teaches that this is where every false religion, pagan religion, cult, idolatrous system, and occultic movement has its root. Furthermore, Les connects Babel with Babylon in Revelation, explaining that the entire world system is now called Babylon, and that its other name is confusion.
Genesis 11:9 gives the explanation. The city was called Babel because the LORD confused the language of all the earth. Before that, the whole earth had one language, but God confounded their speech and scattered them abroad.
