What’s Going on with the Tower of Babel?

Have you wondered what’s going on with the story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11? Did you know that the Hebrew word for Babel can also be translated Babylon? It’s the same place! So what is so bad about building a tower? And why does God react as he does?  Surely God isn’t actually worried that they are going to get to “heaven” and reach him? Listen to this video lesson to hear how this story is the culmination of the sad story of fracturing humanity in Genesis 3-11, and  why God reacts as he does.

This is a 15-minute video lesson that can be watched on its own, or as a bonus lesson in the series Daniel: Hope for the Faithful. Comment or message me to talk about it, or if you have questions!
