ONE WORLD! ONE COUNTRY! ONE LANGUAGE!




Let us make a wild imagination that the whole world is one country, one government, one party, one religion and one language! If it was so, there would not have any wars, any fights or any disputes. Poverty would not have been so much. The gap between haves and have nots would not have been so wide. People would have been happier everywhere.

Who made this ground for the the existing worst competition all around the world? Old Testament gives an answer to this. Genesis 11:1 says: "Now the earth was of one language and of the same speech." Then the ambition of the people of Babel (Babylonian city) went so high. Genesis 11:4 says: "And they said: Come, let us make a city and a tower, so that it's height may reach to heaven". Then God came down to the world. Genesis 11:7 says:  "Therefore, come, let us descend, and in that place confound their tongue, so that they may not listen, each one to the voice of his neighbour." God did not stop there.  Genesis.11:89 establishes this: "And so the Lord divided them from that place into all the lands, and they ceased to build the city." 

When we apply this story to the modern life of the world, we may find realities everywhere.
