Enter the Tower that Truly Reaches Heaven

Enter the Tower that Truly Reaches Heaven


“The whole earth was of one language and of one speech. As they traveled east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they lived there. They said to one another, “Come, let’s make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” They had brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar. They said, “Come, let’s build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top reaches to the sky, and let’s make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad on the surface of the whole earth.”” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭11:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

There was a time that the whole earth under the sky spoke one language. 

The Bible teaches that the sky is a solid structure shaped like a dome:

“God said, “Let there be an expanse in the middle of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” God made the expanse, and divided the waters which were under the expanse from the waters which were above the expanse; and it was so. God called the expanse “sky”. There was evening and there was morning, a second day.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭1:6-8‬ ‭WEB‬)

The word “expanse” in the passage above  is “rakia” in Hebrew which means a solid structure that stretches out like a dome.

Mankind wanted to built a tower that reached the dome of the sky (to try entering Heaven), to make a name for themselves—based on their own strength and ability, apart from God. 

The pre-incarnate Jesus came down from Heaven to see the tower that man was building, and He made an interesting statement: 

“Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built. Yahweh said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do. Come, let’s go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” So Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there Yahweh confused the language of all the earth. From there, Yahweh scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭11:5-9‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

God said that the people were united, and that in their oneness, nothing would be withheld from them—there is greatness in unity. 

God is not against man ascending to Heaven, but He doesn’t want them to try and do it by their own strength. 
God had a plan to restore mankind and bring them to Heaven through faith and not by works—it would be by God’s goodness and not by man’s strength.

That plan is the cross, and we know that no one is saved by their works. 

“yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.” ‭‭(Galatians‬ ‭2:16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

The word Babel comes from the Hebrew word “balal” which means “to confuse”.
God confused mankind’s language and from then on, they lost the power they had in their unity. 

God is not against man ascending to Heaven, but He doesn’t want them to try and do it by their own strength. God had a plan to restore mankind and bring them to Heaven through faith and not by works--it would be by God’s goodness and not by man’s strength.
God is not against man ascending to Heaven, but He doesn’t want them to try and do it by their own strength. God had a plan to restore mankind and bring them to Heaven through faith and not by works—it would be by God’s goodness and not by man’s strength.


The restoration of a single language that unites all people


​This confusion of language wasn’t meant to last forever though. 
God eventually restored a single language to unite men with, on the Day of Pentecost whereby Jesus poured out the Holy Spirit:

“Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place. Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under the sky. When this sound was heard, the multitude came together, and were bewildered, because everyone heard them speaking in his own language. They were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”” ‭‭(Acts‬ ‭2:1-11‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When the disciples spoke in the heavenly language (also called “praying in tongues”), the people from all nations under the sky could understand them. 
​

Just like in the past, they were all in one accord, with one language, and there was power again in their unity—but this time, united in the Holy Spirit, and not in their own strength. 


When we become believers, we become living stones, added into a special tower built by God and not by man:

“You also, as living stones, are built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” ‭‭(1 Peter‬ ‭2:5‬ ‭WEB)

This tower is the Church (body of Christ): a holy temple building that has Jesus as the chief cornerstone, the foundation of the apostles and Old Testament prophets and is built higher and higher as more believers are added into God’s kingdom.

“So then you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone; in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.” ‭‭(Ephesians‬ ‭2:19-22‬ ‭WEB‬)

This tower has a practical purpose for believers—it is a place of protection (from the world and from the devil).

“Yahweh’s name is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe.” ‭‭(Proverbs‬ ‭18:10‬ ‭WEB)

This high tower really ascends into Heaven. It connects Heaven and Earth:

“Yahweh will also be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble.” ‭‭(Psalms‬ ‭9:9‬ ‭WEB‬)

Believers in the tower (the body of Christ/church) have access to God’s power and resources in their time of need. 

When the Rapture happens, this tower will be moved into the eternal city of New Jerusalem in Heaven.

That’s the reality of the city with the tower that ascends to the sky that mankind wanted to build—they already had the vision of eternity planted in their hearts!

All My Sermon Notes eBooks

$79.00 $39.00
Some people don't buy any sermons because of 'choice paralysis'. There's so many messages to choose from, but they don't know which one they want to get. Even if they bought all the sermons, few people have the time to watch 300 hours worth of sermons to see which messages they like.


If you were to buy each sermon at $10, you'd have to spend approximately $3000 or more to get all the sermons in this collection.


Get all my 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 sermon notes in a downloadable and printable eBook format for only US$39 (limited time sale price). That's 7 books in total! 


They were meticulously compiled and they are the precious fruit of many hundreds of hours of work since 2014. If you knew exactly how much work and heart went into it, you would say that it's too reasonably priced!


These sermon notes eBooks are easy to read. You can finish reading the points of each sermon in under 10 mins. They can act as a catalogue for you to browse through the sermons and see which ones you want to purchase. After reading the points, you may want to buy the sermon so you can hear exactly how the point was delivered by the speaker.


​You can enjoy these sermon notes eBooks even without internet connection and if you're like me who likes reading physical books, you can print them out and even make your own annotations on them during your personal Bible study time with God. 

*New sermon notes ebooks beyond 2021 are not guaranteed as there is no leading to continue at the moment. If there are any new ones, you will receive them for free if you are a customer who bought this product before. Just show me the email confirmation receipt as proof for redemption of the new ebooks. 



Testimonial about Milton's sermon notes:


"Milton Goh my brother, your insight on Grace has set me free from 20 yrs of addiction. I was a 7 time felon but by the GRACE of God I am now an ordained minister. Here is some of my story: I was saved in Dec 2016 and started evangelizing in July of 2017 as soon as I was released. My ministry has led over 800 to Jesus. I go to jails, rehabs, homeless shelters plus numerous churches! Your notes and sermons allowed me to find rest in Jesus. I was getting tired trying to perform what I thought God needed from me. You have made me realize it's 100% the CROSS and now I go constantly for Jesus but never get tired. Thanks for your wisdom and love for Jesus. May God bless you and your family!"
- Michael from Cumberland, Kentucky, USA

Indeed I Moreen (Ugandan) plus my other fellow brethren from different countries and continents are being blessed. Our hopes are raised high, the guilt and condemnation disappear, our fears and insecurities go despite the surrounding circumstances when we reach out to your blog."
- Mukyala Moreen, Uganda


"Hi Mr. Milton Goh, first of all I would like to say “Praise God and thank you so much Mr. Milton. You are such an answered prayer for me. I was really blessed by your blog. It opened my mind to the reality that there is still more than I can do for my Savior. Your blog melted my heart so much for God and pushed me to desire Jesus more. Your powerful notes anointed by the Lord through the Holy Spirit that you have shared will greatly help me for the expansion and growth of my ministry as well as my relationship with my God. I pray that God will continue to use you to inspire, motivate and uplift dying souls. I pray and I believe some day in the future I will be given a chance to encounter a (real encounter) with a servant of Jesus like you. Be richly blessed by God Mr. Milton and your family as well."
- Christine from Makati City, Philippines

Testimonial for this book:



"Hi Milton, just finished reading your book. Truly awe-inspiring! The Holy Spirit is all over this. I say this because I only ever listen to teachings from a few ministers, but I kept being drawn to this teaching. After many distractions, I eventually got around to actually watching your video. I’m so glad I did. It created a new hunger in me to dig deeper in the Word, but this time reading it through a different lens. Your book has definitely helped me understand this topic a lot better. Thank you for sharing this revelation with us Milton Goh. May many more be blessed by your work as I have been. God Bless you abundantly!"
