The Tower of Babel

 

Genesis 11

Before this the world had one language.

They found a place to settle together in a group and settled down. 

But then they decided to make a tower that reaches to heaven, so other people would exalt them.

God saw what they were doing, and decided that since they were able to communicate in one language, it was too easy for them to make plans to be “the best”. 

Vs 7 “Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

NOTE

God, the LORD, said “let us go down”

Proving that the trinity is separate and works together. 

The LORD (Father, Son and Spirit) changed their language and scattered them over the earth so they could not plan together to make themselves better than anybody else. 

It was called Babel - because there the LORD confused the language of the world. 

AND since this was after the flood, God had promised never to wipe out the citizens of earth with a flood.  

So he did the next best thing.. create new languages, so everyone would be confused.
