The Confusion of Languages at Babel

Join Matt and Tina Wilson in the second episode of the fourth season of the 'Step into Scripture' podcast as they chronologically explore the Bible. This episode dives deep into the implications of the Tower of Babel incident from Genesis, its importance in the grand narrative of the Bible, and its correlation with the event of languages being clarified at Pentecost. Tina, the author of 'Step into Scripture', and Matt, the lead pastor at Ekklesia Christian Church, look at how rebellion and pride are shown in the language used at Babel and how this opposes the Kingdom language of love. The discussion also examines the reversal of the punishment at Babel in Acts Chapter 2 and the influence Satan has on pride and language confusion. The podcast concludes with a New Testament lens on the Tower of Babel incident and reflection questions for listeners.
