Working together.. more than pack animals..

 


Now the whole earth had one language and the same words. And as they migrated from the east, they came upon a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there. And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves; otherwise we shall be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.” The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which mortals had built. And the Lord said, “Look, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and confuse their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech.” So the Lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore it was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth. Gen 11:1‭-‬9 NRSV-CI





"So look," God said, "behold, take note, and see 

that they one people are, and they have all

one language to communicate and be

enabled to pursue both big and small


enactments, suppositions they suppose; 

and this is only the beginning when

they act as one; nothing that they propose 

to do will be impossible for them."





Above at BABEL, and then at the anti-babel, Pentecost, & after, in letters to the new people of God, empowered by the spirit of the Christ, the second or last son of Adam. Aiming for one purpose, and one mind, one understanding, despite a multiplicity of languages.



Humans have such a high destiny as baby gods.. we needed the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, to be a test of whether our guide would be the very WORD of GOD (which brought the Heavens and the Earth into existence for life as we know it. For we were made to be guided by nothing less than it), or something less, our own desires, or someone-elses. We are the top of creation, God's own family members, with his very nature, made to be guided personally by nothing less than the word, or will, or mind, or attitude, or spirit, of God himself.
