Les explains that from the time of Noah’s Flood until the next event in biblical history, which was the Tower of Babel, is only 200 years. He notes that in round figures the Flood took place at 2400 B.C., so after another 200-year segment the timeline is at 2200 B.C. At the Tower of Babel, the nations made their appearance, and God separated them by the confusion of languages. This event also marked the entrance of false religions, pagan religions, and idolatry, setting the stage for God’s later call of Abraham and the appearance of the nation of Israel.
