What happened to the human race after God scattered the builders from Babel?
After God scattered the builders from Babel, idolatry had now taken over the human race. At Babel began all pagan religions, all idolatry, all mythology, and everything contrary to the one-God concept of Scripture. Those false religious roots spread among the scattered peoples.
Les explains that about halfway between Noah and the call of Abraham stands the Tower of Babel. It was a total rejection of God's instructions to repopulate and scatter around the world. Instead, that group coming out of the sons of Noah rebelled against God, stayed in the area of the Euphrates in Mesopotamia, and under Nimrod gathered at the Tower of Babel. There began all pagan religions, all idolatry, all mythology, and every system contrary to the one-God concept found in Scripture. After God scattered them from the Tower of Babel, idolatry had now taken over the human race.
