Have you ever been to the Empire State Building or the glass building in Chicago? Both buildings boast impressive heights and the views from both are pretty remarkable. In Genesis 11, we see the world’s first skyscraper called the Tower of Babel. The tower, built by the Babylonians, reached 328 feet tall. While the work behind creating the tower is impressive for that time, the purpose of the tower (to make their name great) points to how far from God this empire really was.
