Episode 113: Confounded Blessing - Genesis 10-11
from Connecting Scripture and Life
In the final act of the creation of the world we tackle the story of the Tower of Babel. It is preceded by the genealogy of the descendents of Noah and for each one it says about the people, "according to their clans and languages, by their lands and nations." The introductory verse to the tower story is, "Everyone on earth had the same language and the same words." We have heard over and over God tell the people to go out all over the earth and multiply. This singularity of the people causes God to see that they are not living out the blessing and He separates them, he confounds their language to renew the blessing. This blessing is fearful and challenging. How do we accept and live God's blessing in our lives today?
