It wasn't about the tower

[Right Divider]

Something about mankind zooming off into outer space bothers me.
Wonder what GOD thinks about it?
He got a little upset just for man building a high tower.
No telling what He thinks about us leaving exhaust fumes everywhere!

Genesis 11:5-6 KJV
(5) And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
(6) And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Someone either missed the point of the passage or just wanted to use it wrongly.

God was NOT upset because they were building a tower, He was upset because the were disobeying His orders to disperse among and fill the whole planet.

Gen 11:4 (AKJV/PCE)​

(11:4) And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.​

 

[7djengo7]

He was upset because the were disobeying His orders to dispense among and fill the whole planet.

Many (if not all, by now) individual state legislatures in the USA seem to have, in the past decade or two, tried to get up to speed with those orders, if the number of storefronts one sees nowadays displaying a green cross is any indicator.

Typo... thanks.
