And so beginning from the incident at Babel, God has brought nations into being and nations have been in place ever since. We do not know how many nations were formed at the Babel incident, but we do know that each of those nations formed at that time could trace their origins back to that incident. And so we see a principle revealed in this passage of scripture, which is that God decides when nations are to be formed. It is amusing to watch mankind today striving to try and create a globalized society in the earth, in the hope that the concept of nations can be done away with. This is contrary to God’s order however and He will not allow that to happen. God has various mechanisms that He uses to thwart mankind’s endeavours in this area. One example of this is the recent global Corona virus pandemic which impacted every nation in the earth. That pandemic forced every nation to close its borders to the rest of the world, even among the nations that have tried to create the entity called the “European Union”, thus reinforcing the status quo of separate nations in the earth and destroying the human concept of “globalization”.
