Parade of Nations
For praise of humankind they marched.
One hundred plus nations of the world represented in one congregation of
worshipers.
Actually, all Americans now, most for
several generations. But they celebrated as new arrivals dressed in
the garb of their nations and proudly representing.
They declared that
"this is how it will be in heaven,"
and confessed that God would be pleased.
I don’t know.
Genesis 11:1-9 (NIV)
1 Now the
whole world had one language and a common speech.
2 As men moved
eastward, they found a plain in Shinar and settled there.
3 They said to each
other, "Come, let's make bricks and bake them thoroughly." They used brick
instead of stone, and tar for mortar. 4
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 and not be scattered over the face of the whole
earth." 5
But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower
that the men were building. 6
The LORD said, "If as one people speaking the
same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will
be impossible for them. 7
Come, let us go down and confuse their language so
they will not understand each other." 8
So the LORD scattered them from there
over all the earth, and they stopped building the city.
9 That is why it
was called Babel--because there the LORD confused the language of the whole
world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.
