Connecting the Tower of Babel with Pentecost - Understanding how Jesus reclaimed the nations
The Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 was not just the start of the many languages of the world, it was also where God divided the world into nations, to be ruled by various angels, also known as Watchers. This began the time when God would work through one nation, Israel, that was to be a priestly nation to the world. But through the work of the cross and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon the Church on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2, God has ended the division. Nation, race, culture no longer matters, for all can come to be part of God’s people.
