The world in revolt

God’s gentleness in judging the rebels at Babel is a lesson for us today. God did not let man’s rebellion run its full course, as He had before Noah’s Flood. He nipped the rebellion in its early stages so that humans would not hurt themselves too much. By this simple act, God forced humanity to proceed down His chosen path—to resettle the earth by families. God’s first judgment after the Flood proved that He would continue to superintend the events of human history. AiG
