This shows how quickly the enemy came in with the attempt to build the tower of Babel . He wasted no time. Satan was is ready to bring in rebellion and corrupt humanity instantly. The enemy is truly evil. Yes, we must stay sober and vigilant and never cease in praying. The enemy walks about to and from seeking whomever he can steal, kill and destroy. He never waits! Yet always fails!!
Thank you for the response Uriel. You are correct. And, I must not have been clear in my writing, as I was actually asking if God's purpose was to create different cultures, languages, and borders to keep us from working together for evil purposes?
it's not just one culture either, there is followers of Christ in all and then there is deniers, and do the work of the evil one, but God does know the hearts of all, so pray for all, as I said he loves us all, but not sin, he gave us the way to be free from our sin in our Lord and savior, he is the only way in God Bless you all
God told Noah his family would seed the world,but as for some saying God cursed anyone , i think they would want to consider who comes into ones heart and mind that seeks to steal and destroy, God made a oath to Noah and God never lies, I pray for those that misconstrue the word of God keep asking for wisdom.
The Lord is beautiful, but do not be disillusioned by the misogynist views within the book. Wives, do not be subordinate to your husbands...be their equals. Eat shellfish and let others love who they want to love. Hate is not allowed. God Bless.
As we know the heart is deceitful and wicked above all things. God who has the ability to see the hearts of all men look at the motive that was behind the people true desires to build there own city and own tower to reach heaven. I believe in there own selfish will those words were utter not to build for God's glory but rather than to glorify themselves. We must remember God is the creator.
I am having a real problem with this chapter. "confound their language" "scattered them abroad"
Does God segregated them, one from another, and change their languate in order to keep them from plotting and planning evil and working together to go against his word? God's intent seems clear that they were to live apart. So are all cultures a product of this action by God?
Once again, 'God' curses his beloved creation of man to live in separation and confusion. Why? Because people wanted to build a great city and tower to reach the sky (which is all 'heaven' refers to). If this story is true, isn't this single act by 'God' THE reason for all of the disparate beliefs throughout the world, THE reason for every conflict that has occurred? Seems a little harsh to me
Verse 4~The people were disobeying Jehovah God in his purpose to have the people spread out and inhabit the earth. They were selfishly trying to make a name for themselves.
Answering 3/20/2018, Comment by "Ivan Egipciaco" This has become a very popular, albeit completely un-scriptural AND anti-scriptural, and no matter how much someone pretends any specially selected verse to mean something that the entire rest of the Bible contradicts, CAN'T MAKE IT TRUE! Look back to Genesis 11:1-9. The LORD already pronounced doom and foretold Antichrist spirit from the beginning.
"And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do." God separated men into their own languages and countries for their good, to curtail the evil things that they began to imagine under Nimrod at Babel. Eventually this too must give way for the completion of the age.
Hi Travis; Yes, since Adam and Eve were expelled from the Garden, man has been appointed to toil and sorrow and tribulation in the world. For all that goes with our experience in this evil world, under the terror and deceptions of the prince of this world; THAT is what is meant by "not some special event." Genesis 11:6 tells about how the transgressors will at one point be no longer restrained.
"But they made light of it, and went their ways..." (cont.) AGAIN, this is what the LORD saw happening when He came down to see the city and tower that men were building; Genesis 11:1-9: the heathen revolt and conspiracy that is deeply ingrained in the natural man's psyche ever since; which thrusts away God and faith in His Anointed from them with indifference and contempt and violent hostility.
HIMSELF ! elohim God the son holy ghost and Father their speaking with each other another good exmple of why Jesus is the creator therefore hes the Godhead!His body (Son) his spirit(holy ghost) and his soul(THE FATHER) FOR IN HIM DWELLETH THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY
R4Love; The Bible says that there are three Divine Persons in heaven; the Father the Word and the Holy Spirit. Jesus said many times that He and the Father are one and that He is "I AM" and that He does everything He sees the Father do; even raising the dead. When God said, "Let us make man in our image," I AM was pronouncing our very coming into being; and so we were made entirely by God's Words.

I hope that's helpful to your question.
Does God segregated them, one from another, and change their languate in order to keep them from plotting and planning evil and working together to go against his word? God's intent seems clear that they were to live apart. So are all cultures a product of this action by God?
