Genesis 11
THE TOWER OF BABEL AND THE MANY LANGUAGES
Gen 11:4
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.
Under the rulership of Nimrod, the whole earth was gathered together for the ungodly purpose of building a tower that will reach unto heaven.
This project was a very humongous and gigantic project.
They had progressed significantly in it when it came to a crashing halt.
Many people say that it would not have been possible to build a tower that will get to heaven. Firstly, when heaven is mentioned, it does not mean the very throne of God. Here, we are dealing with the glass dome that covers the earth.
Secondly, God did not think that what they wanted to do was impossible. Gen 11:6 says: “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.”
Then for God to stop them from carrying out their maleficent agenda, He confused their languages. That was the origin of the different languages of the earth. It is because of this confusion of languages that the place is called Babel.
Gen 11:9 says: “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.”
And when the languages were confused, they were scattered to different parts of the earth. “So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.” Genesis 11:8
This is the origin of the different languages of the earth. So, we see that it was the building of the humongous tower of Babel that led to the confusion of the languages of the earth and led to the scattering of the people all across the whole earth.
And this change in languages is permanent and will remain so forever. Rev 7:9 says:“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands.”
This means that the Lord Jesus can be worshipped in every tongue and tribe under heaven. There is no special language for the worship of God.
To the very ends of the earth,
God bless you richly with great grace and many blessings.
