The Tower of Babel: Part II

6/14/2020

Elder Chris continues with his subject on the tower of Babel. In Genesis 9:1 God commands Noah and his descendants to "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth". However, some 100 years later the people of the earth wanted to build one city and one tower, to make a name for themselves, lest they "be scattered abroad the face of the whole earth." -Genesis 11:4 This was a rebellion against God's command to multiply and fill the whole earth. Why did God want the people to scatter? To prevent the concentration of corrupt sinners.
