Severally, most of the people have been asking a lot of questions to each other concerning the origin of different
people, colour, language and nationality. I believe there have been many various answers in concern. But since the world begun to exist, there was just a one community living in one place/territory and also speaking one language. These were the families descended from a man of God Called Noah, after the completion of God’s great floods.
This was now starting life as a new generation in the ancient . This generation regularly grew into great nations, each in its own country, colour and language. These people were very intelligent for they discovered how to use tar to hold them together and due that they could really manage to do anything they planned. These people liked learning and getting new ideas. As part of life to every human being, there this generation learnt how to make bricks and bake them hard to make them strong for their various domestic uses.
As days went on, it reached one day when they seat together and got an idea to build a city and a greet tower which could make them reach the heaven, as well as make them be famous. They wanted to form a certain kind of symbolizing their nationality, originality and unity. They intended to build strong territory and all of them agreed that it was a good idea, and soon they were all hard at work, they were as busy as bees building the Tower of Babel.
God watched them at work and he saw the walls growing higher and higher. He saw people getting bigger and bigger ideas and he knew that these would lead to trouble. They were beginning to think they were gods and that could do anything. Due that, God could not wait till the Tower was finished. This was really a serious problem to God that he took time to think on how he can destroy or make their idea unsuccessful.
God knew that if those people continued with their idea they would not have chance to know about him and worship him. Also God knew that if their idea was successful, people would just stay gathering at one place. But God was opposite to their idea because he wanted people to spread all over the world. So in order God to fulfill his purpose he, realized that the only way to confuse them and make their idea unsuccessful was to make them spoke different languages, which would make them not be able to understand one another and that it would be more difficult to work together.
So God mixed up their languages and scattered them to different parts of the world. Some of them went to West, East, North and South. Others settled ion the coasts and islands at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea. Some made their homes in Egypt and Africa, and others went in Assyria and Arabia. Never again were they able to work and plan together so easily.
This is how global people, languages and nations were originated. And whenever people talk of a greet Tower of Babel, they remembered how they had come to speak different languages. Tower of Babel means “The Tower of which God frustrated his builders by confusing their language so that they could not understand one another in building the tower”. Babel means “confused noise or scene”. Some of these builders stayed in the plains of Babylonia.
