Tower of Babel

The tower of Babel in Gen. 11:1-9 is the final scene where Yahweh demonstrates the extent of humanity’s sinfulness and rebellion against Him. Just as in the time of the flood, the sinfulness includes all humanity, but this time the religious element is emphasized through the tower. Here Satan strikes again not just to corrupt them but also to rebel intentionally against Yahweh and build a rival religion and kingdom (government) in opposition to Yahweh’s own kingdom.
