“The Tower of Babel as Rebellion
Against God”
Pastor Hiroyuki Anjiki

1. The origin of languages
* (1) The history of linguistics
Eugene Nida, an American linguist
* (2) Cognitive science
Noam Chomsky, a Jewish linguist and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) professor
“Universal grammar”
* (3) The presence of someone to talk to
* (4) All races have a language
2. One common language
* Genesis 11:4 “make a name for ourselves” = intent to rebel against God
3. The division of languages
* Genesis 11:7 “Come, let us…”
* Genesis 11:9 “Babel” = confusion
* Max Schuler, a German linguist
* Otto Jespersen, a Danish linguist “All human languages originate from one language”
* Isaac Mozeson, an American linguist “It is Hebrew (Eden language).”

Thoughts to share at mini church:
1. What do you think about the fact that much of the evidence of linguists matches up with what is recorded in the Bible?
2. Why did the Tower of Babel incident occur?
