TowerOfBabel

Babel was apparently the capital city of the kingdom on Nimrod .

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.

Nimrod (the likely leader) understood the necessity of having a goal or vision to keep people together, unified.

And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
Pre-incarnate Jesus looked at what man was doing.

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.
The Lord created man in His Image. The implication is that men have the ability to do great things. The only thing necessary for man to accomplish anything is to imagine it, commit to it and work toward it.

Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another`s speech.
Rather than destroying man again, the Lord chose to fragment their secular oneness by changing their languages and splitting the earth.

So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
The continents were formed at this time during the time of Peleg and Nimrod.

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.
This explains the fact that there are people all over the world with different languages. It also is consistent with the interconnectability of the continents. Though not mentioned, the races were likely created at this time.
God`s purpose was to thwart man`s unity apart from Him.
The current globalist efforts are a revival of the spirit of Babel and its leader, Nimrod.

Fundamentally, the problem with Nimrod and the people of his kingdom was they completely disconnected themselves from the Lord.

The fact that they undertook such a monumental task upon themselves with no consultation with the Lord, in apparent disregard for Him was the problem.

Their objective was to reach heaven. Now they did not have a clue about the magnitude of the universe, so we should not laugh too loudly at the foolishness of their plan.

Getting to heaven, after all, is what most Christians aspire to. So, their goal, though unreachable, was not apparently in conflict with the purpose of Christ Jesus, our Mighty God and Saviour .

So what specifically was our Lord's problem with their effort? They either had no knowledge of or they did not accept the notion of GodAndMan.

Since Nimrod was the great-grandson of Noah, it is highly unlikely that he had no knowledge of God, no awareness of the cause of The Flood.

So, I can only assume that Nimrod rejected the notion of GodAndMan, preferring to set out to live life his own way. And, as a mighty man who controlled the lives of the people in his kingdom, he directed them to ignore the notion of GodAndMan and serve him in a very Secular Humanism way.

The Tower Of Babel actually happened but it is a metaphor for Secular Humanism teaching us the utter disgust that our Lord has for those who live their lives and teach others in rejection of the notion of GodAndMan.
