The Tower Of Babel - a podcast by Faith Baptist Church

Writing on the biblical account of the Tower of Babel, Derek Kidner says that the various aspects of this story are “timelessly characteristic of the spirit of the world.” This is interesting because the story tends to be so misunderstood. It’s not meant to condemn the building of great cities with their sky scrapers or to spread paranoia over the potential of human technology. Nor is God in opposition to us living together in community with harmony and unity. That’s not what this is about.

So, what is the story of the city with its great tower all about? Well, it must be something very significant because it is picked up and carried on in Scripture even figuring prominently in the book of Revelation where we learn of the city of the world called ‘Babylon the Great’ at the climax of human history. Have you ever wondered about the mystery of Babylon?
