In the first Babylon "the whole world" possessed a common language. Because of this common tongue, they could work together to build a majestic tower that could reach into the skies. By so doing, they determined that they could make a name for themselves. When God saw this, he said, "...nothing will be impossible for them" (Genesis 11:6). As a result of this God determined that he would "...confuse their language so that they would not understand each other." Having done so, God's plan caused a scattering of the people which foiled their plan to build such a monument representative of themselves.
Although one source indicates that there are some 6000 languages in the world at present, "the whole world" once again arrives at a point in time where all possess a common language. Once again, God can say, "...nothing will be impossible for them." As the planet in its universal mind gravitates toward the creation of the virtually impossible, these works could very well represent towers in terms of the magnitude of their accomplish- ments. Some discoveries like penecillin, as well as various other antibiotics -- though so timely and necessary -- have been so immense that they have practically removed prayer from the bedside of the ailing. Think of it, who is God when penecillin is present? Other giant steps have been taken on the face of the moon; and yet more wonders have sent back close-up photographs of planets as far away as Jupiter and beyond. Lately we have learned that man can not only clone sheep but himself, as well. Most recently, one report in the National Post speaks of a woman being able to become fertilized by the DNA of another woman. It seems that we have just said "Good-bye" to God.
The language of science speaks in a universal tone; such a language cuts across all dialects. The worship of science causes many to hearken unto it rather than He who created all of it, though a few scientists have gone full circle around the cosmos in their intellectual capsules to find themselves landed at the feet of God. But that language of science wiill lead mankind back to God, given that man learns its accents, nuances and all, while the language of the Last Babylon reaches pitches that the ear fails to recognize and is encripted in a barely decipherable form. Nonetheless, it is the language of the Last Babylon, though none can speak it, all can use it.
What might that language be? You ask. No, it is not the genetic code, though we can tinker and tamper with it, we cannot globally communicate with it. We can talk about it, share in decoding discoveries, but that is for a select few. Though anything from genius to madness may be expressed through the modification of that code, it won't likely be the language which God comes down to confound. In order to work together, the Last Babylonian tongue has built towers so far into the sky that they boast the highest pinnacle in the triangulation of any communication: the satellite. That language is housed in the brain of your computer.
