Genesis 10-12

At the beginning of Genesis 11 we find a description of a unified people living on earth. They are all children of Noah and they share the same language. Unfortunately they share the same lust for power. Once again the people of the world challenge God's position of supremacy. This is the third time that God has stepped in and taken humanity down a notch; the curse, the flood, and now the confusion. God scrambled their language. The people had unified around their pride. God sought to unify people around him and his love. And God planned one more humiliation for all people. There would be one more time when God would shut down the pride of the world. The curse, the flood, the confusion, and then there would be the cross. With this last humiliation God provided a way to unite people around himself and his love.
