    The Tower of Babel is not merely an explanation of language changes, but there are four key areas we learn from this account that applies to our Christian culture today.

    Tower of Babel Genesis 11: 1 Now the whole earth had one language and one speech. 2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there. 3 Then they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and bake them thoroughly."

    The two cities symbolise diametrically opposed principles, Jerusalem represents the eternal while Babylon depicts the earthly having no abiding value.

    TWO CONTRASTING CITIES - BABYLON AND JERUSALM Books which outlive the generation in which they were written are called “classics”.

    Only God has the right to make a name for us. Abraham submitted and was exalted, the people of Babel exalted and were humbled.

    The Humility of Abraham or Pride of Babel I want to start by looking at Isaiah 57: 15: For thus says the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to ...read more

    based on 44 ratings
     | 4,069 views

    As farcical as was the building of the tower of Babel, it is not one wit more so than for any man to attempt to gain heaven by his own efforts or good works.

    INTRO For thousands of years, man has continually tried to proudly pat himself on the back for his knowledge and acheivements.
