Genesis 11:1-9

In this study we look at the amazing event that took place at the tower of Babel. Only 5 generations past the flood and mankind was in open rebellion and defiance toward God. Rather than multiplying and filling the whole earth, they gathered together in the land of Shinar.There they sought to build a tower that would be the gateway to the gods. It was here that they thought they could become like God. Their pride and arrogance allowed them to be deceived into believing this original lie from Satan.When the sin, iniquity and transgression of man rises up, the judgment of God comes down. It was here at Babel that God confused the language and scattered mankind over the face of all the earth. God overruled the rebellious heart of man.

1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of 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 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for mortar.

4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.

8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
