Out Of Babel

Introduction:

In a new study just recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the research supported the idea that multiple people groups had independent origins.  This would support the confusion of languages that happened at Babel.  The researchers analyzed 2,082 worldwide languages and 246 global people groups.  So this study matched up well with the dispersal of different people groups at Babel.  So let’s go to God’s Word to see what happened at Babel.

Body:

A Story of Firsts

In his book In the Beginning, Justin Rogers describes three firsts associated with the Tower of Babel episode in Genesis 11: 1-9.

• Human language was confused. 

• This was the first attempt to build a city.

• This was the first attempt to construct a skyscraper. 

Reasons for Building 

1. To Make a Name for Themselves  (Genesis 11:4) 

Conclusion:

Although the Tower of Babel no longer exists, the sinful behavior of its builders continues.
