“Confusing Babel”

Sunday, June 24, 2012

     The people of Babel stated, “If we build the tower to heaven, God will scatter us.”  How did they know this?

Sincerely,
Clairvoyant?

Dear Clairvoyant,

The people of Babel stated the exact opposite of that.  In Gen 11:4, the people decided to build a tower, so they wouldn’t be scattered.  It is ironic that the building of the tower forced God to scatter them (Gen 11:8-9).
