How did humanity go from one language to thousands of distinct tongues spoken across the world today? The story begins in Genesis 11 with a rebellious act of defiance against God’s command. Led by Nimrod, humanity attempted to centralize power and make a name for themselves, building the infamous Tower of Babel. This tower wasn’t just an architectural marvel; it represented humanity’s first steps toward idolizing the stars and the creation of astrology. But God had a different vision for the earth—He wanted people to spread, not gather in rebellion. In this episode, Stephen Davey unpacks the powerful moment when God intervened to confuse their language, effectively scattering people across the globe. Discover how this ancient story set the stage for the world’s diversity today and why it’s still relevant. You'll also hear about God’s future promise: a day when all languages will unite in praise to Him. Dive into this foundational story of pride, dispersion, and God's ultimate plan to reunite humanity under His reign.
