Here is an interesting thought I have been considering for some time...
When God confounded the language at Babel, He gave this reason:
Gen 11:6 And the Lord said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
The ability of man to accomplish things God was apparently not ready or willing to see them accomplish is why He made it more difficult to communicate. However, I want to submit to you that we have overcome this impediment. Just look right here on Facebook as one example. if you go to a page that is written in a foreign language, you will find, "Translate this." When you click on it, whatever you are reading that you do not understand, will immediately become understandable. Likewise, we now have portable translating devices. I can be speaking to a man in most any language on Earth and as he speaks "in real time" I will hear it in my translator in real time in my language. When I speak back to him, he will hear it in his language. Voice recognition software has evolved quickly.
So what does this mean? I am still not certain... but I THINK that because the obstacle that kept man from doing anything "he proposes to do" has been removed... that things can or will unfold more quickly now and even to the point of radical change to whatever we consider to be "normal."
