God dealt with the Babel Crisis through Nimrod, He did not see fit to
proceed with the founding of the Hebrew nation through Abram. For
this time, the seed of Cain was dealt with, and through Ham the seed
of Nimrod. God came down to see what Nimrod and his cohorts had
planned. By confusing their tongues at this time, He put an end to
their aims. But 2000 years later He reversed this process and all
tongues for a day once again understood one another. The Day of
Pentecost in Acts 2 (Shavuot in Hebrew) - picked up through the
church a new dimension. However even this only initially started a
new covenant entity on earth for God's purposes. Maturity and
fulfillment of this won't take place until our Lord Jesus returns and
sets up His Millennial Kingdom.</span></span></font></p>

Absolutely not. But then neither can Satan - else he would not have
