Somewhere about 5 or 6 thousand years ago, a critical mass of same language speaking homo sapiens thought they were achieving Homo Deus by building a wondrous tower that would reach into the heavens... to be like the Gods. The world was actually one landmass at that time I believe...
These people were scattered and their language confused. Genesis speaks of Pelegg...”and in his days was the Earth divided” It didn’t say the people divided, it said the Earth was divided. Punctuated rapid continental drift with folks caught in different parts of the Earth and separated.
English is the universal language of the Earth(again most men of the Earth can speak with one tongue) and with rapid communications, the age old lie that man can attain Godhood is again bearing bitter fruit; the rejection of age old Godly wisdom, indeed a haughty puffing up of the collective human heart against the living God awaits its final incarnation...THE BEAST and his religio-economic nightmare of a governing system.(parts of which may already be in operation some years before the Beast throws the switches to fully activate it).
