The Tower of Babel can be found in Genesis 11:1-9

Most of us grew up with the story of how men decided to be a tower as high as the heavens.
And because man had one language then, they were about to achieve it.

But then guess what happened?

Just as we were taught God got angry and decided to confuse the language of mankind so that these men would not accomplish their dream of building a tower as high as heaven.

1. One of the things I've found important in any story is to know who is telling the story, what side they're on, and I they have an agenda.

2. It is also noteworthy that man in this story had one language. The implication being men easily understood one another no matter the geographical, racial, tribal, gender diversities.
For this reason God made this significant statement;

V6 And the Lord said, “Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
V7 Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another’s speech.”

3. It was God who confused the language of mankind.
It would seem as though to limit man's capacity and accomplishment.
This same confusion is what has seemingly created a chasm in our communication between one another across and within tribes, race's, gender, etc.
Because our language is no longer one.

Questioms;
1. Does this story paints God as working against man?The same man he is said to love and want to save.

2. I'm sure the Tower of Babel could not have been taller than Burj Al Arab and some of the skyscrapers of this generation. So has confusing the language of man served its purpose or it has only created other problems even between God and man due to lack of understanding between one and other?
