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.
There’s an amusing quip in Genesis 11 that may have been intentional.
The people of Babel began to build a tower as high as they possibly could, so high it could “reach to the heavens.”
But as high as human ambition can reach, God still has to look DOWN at it.
