Panorama 04 of 15 Genesis Foundation arc

Babel

Genesis 10–11

A reset humanity tries to climb back up its own staircase; God scatters what He could have stopped.

Panorama 04 — Babel. Full eight-zone CFADD layout for Genesis 10–11.

Macro position

The re-scatter. Genesis 10 is the table of nations — seventy nations descending from Noah. Genesis 11 is what the nations try to do without God. The scattering is mercy, not only judgment.

Christward Trajectory

Babel is reversed at Pentecost (Acts 2). The tongues God confused are the tongues the Spirit unites under one Name. Babel scatters; Pentecost gathers.
