The book of Genesis tells us what happened after the destruction of mankind with the flood; men lived in unity because they had only one language. So they decided to build a city and a big tower, and God seeing the pride of man dispersed them and divided the language of man into different tongues.
The narration of this fact, foreshadows a world of divisions and wars, in which the chosen people will have to develop their history. The concept of nation and people would be born with the destruction of this tower, men divided, by not being able to communicate with each other, they lost the consciousness of unity. This is a problem that lasts to this day.
But the message of the Bible is clear, all the kingdoms established by man must fall one after another to give rise to the establishment of the Kingdom of God, on the day of judgment, which will be the definitive kingdom in which there will be no divisions.
The bible tells us the story of the tower of Babel:
"Now the whole world had one language and a common speech. As people moved eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
They said to each other, ´Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly.´ They used brick instead of stone, and tar for mortar. Then they said, ´Come, let us build ourselves a city, with a tower that reaches to the heavens, so that we may make a name for ourselves; otherwise we will be scattered over the face of the whole earth.´
But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower the people were building. The LORD said, ´If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.´
So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel—because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth." Genesis 11:1-9.
