Sadly, as Noah’s family grew and spread over the earth, mankind forgot all that had happened. Do you think people today are a lot like people in Noah’s day? God planned for them to form many nations that would follow Him, but they wanted to make themselves great instead. They all chose to settle in the same place and started building a great tower that would reach to the skies. They wanted a great monument to their greatness. Instead, God confused their languages so they couldn’t understand each other, and scattered them all over the world. Do you think people today are still trying to build monuments to their greatness?
