The Story of the Nations

Joel Wood // July 2 2023

All nations, cultures, and peoples are meant to worship God. Yet in the Tower of Babel we find the exact opposite. The peoples band together to build a tower that will magnify humans and their efforts rather than God. God responds by coming down to disperse the peoples and confuse their languages. Yet even in God’s judgment we see a plan start to see more of his plan for redemption immerging. God plans to have people from all nation, tribe, and language worshipping Him. In this we find that the differences in culture and language can actually be a really good thing. Each culture and language can worship God in unique ways. We have much that we can learn from each other in the present (rather then being suspicious of one another). We find that God’s plan is to offer salvation to all nations through one man who immerges from one nation. We now have the opportunity to take that message of salvation to all the nations.
