one language

The history of Babel ("confusion") strikingly parallels that of the professing Church.

(1) Unity Genesis 11:1 --the Apostolic Church Acts 4:32,33
(2) Ambition Genesis 11:4 using worldly, not spiritual means Genesis 11:3 ending in a man-made unity--the papacy;
(3) the confusion of tongues Genesis 11:7 --Protestantism, with its innumerable sects.
