Since you brought up the subject of God’s opinion on these projects I am reminded that scripture has a lot of “bookends”. For instance, one commentator suggested reading the first three chapters of Genesis and comparing it to the last chapter of Revelation.
Hebrew literature employs a “folding” technique called chiasm where topics or viewpoints change as the paragraph, chapter, or book proceeds. The central point is in the middle. Then the topics or viewpoints are revisited in reverse order until you get to the original at the end of the work.
Christ is clearly central to history. Maybe history itself has been “unwinding” since His first appearance on the earth?!
One wonders whether the “Tower of Babel” account, which is rather early in Genesis, serves as such a bookend to history itself?
BTW: The actual building seldom lives up to the artistic rendering. However, these are really beautiful buildings!
Willam F Buckley told the story of a woman he met at some party. She said that she could get an idea of the book’s worth by reading the first and last words together.
She gave an example of one of Buckley’s own recent publications:
“Herewith ... light.”
I was not so much directed towards the Tower of Babel story, as I was sheer human hubris (excessive pride, which reflects of dominance of an ambitious ego, ambitious FOR the self).
That’s why I term the whole enterprise as a bunch of architects and developers engaged in pure penis envy, relative their efforts.
