A tower whose top reached reached into the heavens, built by a people wanting to be like God, ascending and descending on a staircase to heaven. This was their own plan and way, which would lead to God confusing their schemes. During this antiquated time the people were one culture, speaking one voice (language.)
God intervened and confused their language, because what they were doing was not His chosen way. From this scattering originated many different ways making up the diverse religions, cults, and sects which are evident today. But just as the building of the tower of Babel was works, so to are the religions of the world. Proverbs 14:12 says; "There is a way that seems right to a man, but it's end is the way of death."
Recent statistics reveal that there are four thousand three hundred religions, church denominations, cults, sects and other ethnic traditional groups in the world today. To this I add that they all claim to a way or the way, yet conflict, division, hatred,
persecution and murder exists among them.
Today there are six thousand eight hundred different languages in the world, a whole lot more than when God brought about the confusion. The European Union is working to bring about a new world order with a one world religion, their slogan is "Many nations, One voice." A vain attempt to bring order to the confusion that God brought about at the tower of Babel, which was not His chosen way.
The saying that all roads lead to Rome was literally true in the days of the Roman Empire, when all the Empires roads radiated out of the capital city Rome. There are not four thousand three hundred religious ways or roads radiating out of heaven to find a "Way" to God. There is only One "Way" and that is through His Son Jesus Christ.
