Genesis c. 11

v. 4 Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves and not be scattered over the face of the whole earth.”

How far has humanity come? I was thinking of this story and not only we built towers but we also reached the moon, the outer part of the solar system through probes, and yet we have not reached God.

The story of Babel is a story about pride. It is not a story about man attempting to reach God’s abode, nor is it a story about humanity trying to usurp God, it is simply a story about pride.

Some have built their Babel by building towers of riches and others by building towers of knowledge and without knowing it have built for themselves a prison tower.

But like the story of Babel, God is greater than any towers that man can create.
