- The events of the Tower of Babel story are more applicable to us today than we may have imagined. It is probably something we have not been taught or even considered. For one thing, the people did not just build a tower. They also built a city. They built a city and a tower. This is huge and must be taken into account. What's this all saying?
Also, as the events unfold there is no mention of God. These people probably are not evil. The Bible does not say they are evil. But, these people do not seem to be one's who believe in God. Verses 1-4 they seem to be godless. God shows up finally in verse 5 when He came and saw not just the tower, but the tower and the city. God sees both. The tower is not the focus but the city and the tower. Some Bible teachers will say God was angry with the people and what they did. Huh? There is no mention of God being angry. But God sees that they have one language and they are one people and they will not easily be stopped from doing whatever they wish if this continues. God is saying this is dangerous. Huh? Why? Why is is dangerous. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that humankind never changed after the flood. In Gen. 6:5 and again after the flood in Gen. 8:21, God tells us through Moses' pen that the imagination of men's hearts is to do evil continually. This idea is seemingly repeated here.
Is God warning us that mankind as one people with one language and one worldview without God will lead to uncontrolled evil? Is this perhaps and prediction of the end of days when many will be without God and united as one people and one godless worldview? Let's go see.
