Chapter-a-Day Genesis 11

The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them." Genesis 11:6 (NIV)

I believe that there's a parallel between the Tower of Babel and our own generation. There was one language and society was progressing at an amazing rate -"nothing they plan to do was impossible". God's confusing of the language was intended to slow things down. Today, we are increasingly a global community with a common language. Look how rapidly things are changing, growing, progressing - communications, technology, cloning, genetics - and with it grows humanity's pride, arrogance and selfishness.
