What if we are trying instead to address cultural differences in-the-name-of racism? This would fly in the face of God's purposes at Babel. God deliberately separated the cultures and did not give anyone permission to reconcile them. God knows the cost of a one-culture model - they will build edifices to their own glory and forget about God. It therefore in God's best interests to keep the cultures separated. This keeps power from amassing into the hands of a few, trampling the inalienable rights of the many. It also keeps power from reverting to mob rule, trampling the inalienable rights of the few. | What if we are trying instead to address cultural differences in-the-name-of racism?

=== Supernatural Aspects of Language === | |||
In {{Bible ref|book=Acts|chap=2|verses=6}} we read that the apostles were able to speak in their own language while all those present actually heard the words in the own various native languages. At the Tower of Babel, all people speaking a common tongue were suddenly cursed with various tongues. This is because all language is supernatural. It is a supernatural gift from the Creator for mankind's communication with God and with other humans. | |||
We are also informed that the gift of tongues (languages) is for use before unbelievers {{Bible ref|book=1 Corinthians|chap=14|verses=22}} as a ''sign''. And that the coming "son of perdition" {{Bible ref|book=2 Thessalonians|chap=2|verses=3}} will come to power {{Bible ref|book=2 Thessalonians|chap=2|verses=9}} with ''signs'' and lying wonders. As ''signs'' are associated with language, theologians have speculated that the son of perdition will perform language-based miracles just as he will change times and laws for his own glory {{Bible ref|book=Daniel|chap=7|verses=25}}. | |||
