Reflection
Today we read about God’s covenant with Noah and the growth of the nations after the flood and the building of the Tower of Babel. This ends the time of “prehistory” as a curtain is drawn on the Early world.

Today’s Question
This is the close of the Early World period. What kind of a world is it?
The New Testament is hidden in the Old and the Old Testament is revealed in the New
The gift of language was a blessing from God given only to mankind. At the time of the Tower of Babel the "whole world spoke the same language." In southern Mesopotamia a group of people decided to build a temple "to make a name for themselves." God's punishment for their pride was to confuse their tongues putting an end to the one universal language. (Gen 11:1,4,9) In the New Testament, Pentecost is the reversal of Babel. At the time, the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles as "tongues of fire." After this, when the Apostles preached the crowd heard them speaking in their own native language, the universal language of salvation in Jesus Christ. (Acts 2:5-11)
