My Bible Study Genesis Chapter 11 pt 2

Genesis 11:6 "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."

“Nothing will be restrained”: They were so united that they would do all they desired to do.

“They begin to do”: This would be only the start!

“Imagined to do”: means “they purposed.”

These people remind me of little children. One child will not get into much trouble, but when you add the second child, they get into ten times as much.

These people had evil hearts with every evil imagination. The fact that they spoke the same language, made it much easier for them to work together. Working together, people can accomplish more than working as individuals.

Even today, if those of other countries and American common people could sit down and talk together in the same language, we would find that we have many things in common. They love their families, just as we do; they want a peaceful world, just as we do. You see, the heads of government are the ones who have many problems, seeking power.
