There is only one God. The creator of everything.

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Isaiah 42:5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
Isaiah 43:10-11 Ye are my witnesses, saith the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.I, even I, am the Lord; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.
Isaiah 45:5-7 I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the Lord, and there is none else. I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.
Isaiah 45:14 Thus saith the Lord, The labour of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over unto thee, and they shall be thine: they shall come after thee; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down unto thee, they shall make supplication unto thee, saying, Surely God is in thee; and there is none else, there is no God.
Isaiah 45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the Lord; and there is none else.
Isaiah 45:21-22 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the Lord? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
Isaiah 46:9 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me,
Isaiah 48:12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.
Isaiah 48:16 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, there am I: and now the Lord God, and his Spirit, hath sent me.

Mark 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

An appearance of God to a human; a divine manifestation. Theophanies don’t always mean God appears in the form of a man. He can sometimes manifest Himself in fire or a tempest or a still small voice.
A few examples:
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 12:1 Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:
Genesis 17:1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
Genesis 18:1-15 The three visitors visit Abraham and Sarah by the great tree of Mamre.
Genesis 26:2 (Isaac) And the LORD appeared unto him, and said, Go not down into Egypt; dwell in the land which I shall tell thee of:
Genesis 32:24-30 Another example of God appearing on earth is when Jacob wrestles the angel
Exodus 3 Moses and The Burning Bush
Exodus 6:2-3 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
Exodus 13:20-22 Pillar of Cloud and Fire
Exodus 24:9-10 Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
Numbers 12:6-8 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream. My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house. With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
Numbers 22:22-35 Balaam and His Ass
Joshua 5:13-15 Commander of the Lord’s Army Appears to Joshua
Judges 10 Gideon and The angel of the Lord
Judges 13 The Angel of the Lord Visits Manoah and His Wife
1 Kings 19:12 “still small voice” that spoke to Elijah in the cave
Ezekiel 40:3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there was a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass, with a line of flax in his hand, and a measuring reed; and he stood in the gate.
Daniel 3:16-28 The Fourth Man in the Fire
Daniel 10–12 Daniel’s Visions
Job 38:1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Zechariah 1:7-17 Zechariah’s visions
These are but a few examples found in Scripture.
Some could teach that the LAST Theophany would be Jesus of Nazareth, as He was/is God.
Some teach that Theophanies still occur today. But according to Scripture, the way God speaks to Believers today is THROUGH HIS WRITTEN WORD!

Hebrews 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

Read Genesis 11:1-9. The Hebrew word translated “tower” could represent any large monolith, obelisk or pyramid.
As we read in Genesis, from the Flood until then, many years have passed, the people had multiplied so much that they were afraid they would scatter over the earth: Vs 4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
Which is what God had instructed them to do (Genesis 9:1 And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth).

Vs 9 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.

The Lord caused them to speak in different languages, forcing them to separate into groups and flee to other parts of the earth. Did He also change physical features, color of skin, slanting of eyes, etc.?

Pyramids are found in Egypt, they exist today. Many have visited them. Are these copies of the original Tower of Babel? Attempts to worship false gods?

Remember 11:9 … scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.

Archeologists are finding Pyramids in many other parts of the world:
Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru just to name a few. And these are documented on a TV program:
EXPEDITION UNKNOWN, hosted by Archeologist Josh Gates.

As God spread the people across the earth, it appears they took their false gods with them and constructed Pyramids (Towers) to continue their false worship. Meanwhile God focused on One Man, Abram, Genesis 12, and one nation (to be) Israel.

So, was it really the Pyramid of Babel?

Not found in the Old Testament. The word gospel is derived from the Anglo-Saxon term god-spell, meaning “good story,” a rendering of the Latin evangelium and the Greek euangelion, meaning “good news” or “good telling.” Since the late 18th century, the first three, Matthew, Mark and Luke have been called the Synoptic Gospels.

Some things about the Tower of Babel:
The tower of Babel was built in the plain in Shinar. Shinar is the Hebrew name for Babylonia. The Tower of Babel was the world’s first skyscraper, as well as a symbol of the might and hubris of the ancient city of Babylon. The enormous building, mentioned in the Bible, has fascinated generation upon generation, although everyone has their own image of what it once looked like.
Historians have only been able to agree on one thing:
The tower was said to reach up to the sky.

The Tower of Babel stood at the very heart of the vibrant metropolis of Babylon in what is today Iraq. It was a city of open squares, broad boulevards and narrow, winding lanes. But the City of Cities, as Babylon was known by the Ancients, eventually fell into ruin. And the residents of Babylon plundered the Tower of Babel and used its bricks to build their own houses.

It was aerial photography, however, that provided the first real clues as to the location of the tower. The photographs show the tower’s square-shaped outline in the center of the city Genesis 11:4 …let us build us a city and a tower,.. .
Today, nothing remains but a watering hole. The Tower was said to be almost 100 meters tall and was dedicated to Babylon’s own God, Marduk.

There are 43 references to Towers in Scripture:
(some references are speaking of God)
Genesis 11:4-4 The Tower of Babel.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

The Scripture has much to say about the truth. It appears 114 times in the Old Testament and 108 times in the New Testament. The Lord Jesus commented on the TRUTH over 20 times. As Pilate concluded (at the trial of the Lord Jesus) WHAT IS TRUTH? Even today many cannot believe the TRUTH of Scripture.
