Many turn from the plain teachings of the Bible and build up a creed from human speculations and pleasing fables. They point to their “tower” as a way to climb up to heaven. Eloquent lips teach that the sinner will not die, that salvation may be had without obedience to the law of God. If the professed followers of Christ would accept God’s standard, it would bring them into unity, but as long as human wisdom is exalted above God’s holy Word, there will be divisions and dissension. The existing confusion of conflicting beliefs and denominations is fitly represented by the term “Babylon,” which prophecy applies to the world-loving churches of the last days (see Revelation 14:8; 18:2).
The time of God’s investigation is very near. His sovereign power will be revealed and the works of human pride will be brought to an end.
