Since the Lord God created the entire earthly world in just some six days - even more likely in five and a half - then he had to and has to finish a lot later: as the need arose, and, sometimes, just "along the way" … The language question, at first not foreseen by him, once demanded urgent and decisive action.
On the one hand, Yahweh (he is the Lord God) did not immediately begin to warn the population he created about responsibility for sins. He did not immediately identify them: many only after many, many millennia. And even then, in order to get a set of ten commandments, the old man (!) Had to climb a mountain in the desert (!!) (!!!). But what to do - it is obvious that even then he was developing the foundations of Roman legal law, which says: "Ignorantia non est argumentum", which means ignorance of the law does not exempt one from guilt. But if your family was warned once, then what is it - twice guilty, so deciding to build a tower to heaven without God's permission, and shovel to heaven - godly.
If not for this Nimrod …
After all, how it all began: when the Lord cursed Ham and his descendants, they were strictly forbidden from becoming free people - only slaves. And then someone, let's call him "suspect" Nimrod, not only was not a slave, but also founded a powerful state. This is fault number one.
This is followed by wine number two: Nimrod became proud, and, having become proud, decided to become the monarch of the world. It was for this that he summoned a free people to the lands of Babylon, who mastered the burning of clay, thereby creating the first bricks in the world. Then they started building an unprecedented structure - a huge tower for all nations, which was supposed to reach heaven, to the Lord God.
What claims or questions Nimrod had to God in the Old Testament is not specified. Perhaps he just wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. But Yahweh did not understand - what is there, you need to say as it is - got angry and cursed the entire Hamov clan again: what if the first time did not come?
But if Yahweh only once again cursed the boorish clan … Eh, it is to the proud Nimrod that we "owe" now that we are forced to spend time, money and the best years of life on learning foreign languages. And even if we speak the same language, we do not always understand each other.
Nothing in the world changes, history always repeats itself
The wrath of God was so great and terrible that in an instant the builders of Nimrod's splendor - the tower of Babylon - ceased to understand each other. They spoke in different languages and could no longer continue construction, as they could not agree on anything.
Just imagine: the son does not understand the language of his father, brothers born of the same mother are ready to gnaw each other's throats just because they cannot agree on who should climb the forests and who should burn the clay … And there were them - in ancient Babylon - hundreds and thousands, thousands of thousands of people.
And the only mercy of God was that he did not destroy them all at the same time, but let them scatter over the earth. But since then, if a multi-headed human congestion arises in some place, if confusion and disorder also begins in it, then they say - "Babylonian pandemonium."
The most striking illustration to this phrase is a modern airport during the summer, vacation period. Especially if air traffic controllers or other employees go on strike, and your tour operator reports bankruptcy on the same day. Have you presented? Eyewitnesses of the events described in the Old Testament experienced approximately the same feelings before scattering around the world.
