The Tower of Babel

God has made of one blood all nations of men (Acts 17:26 below).

I believe that when the Lord confounded the language at the Tower of Babel (Gen.11:1-9 below), what also accompanied the confounding of the language was that with the many languages that were given, the skin pigmentation and features of the people changed according to the languages given, so that when the people were scattered abroad upon the face of all the earth (Gen.11:8-9 below), the skin pigmentation/features went with them to their respective regions of the earth?

I believe that people in the “new” earth will speak the same one language spoken on earth prior to the LORD’s confounding the language at the Tower of Babel.


Acts 17:26 And hath made of ONE BLOOD ALL NATIONS OF MEN for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation (Gen.11:8-9 below):

Gen.11:1 And the whole earth was of ONE language, and of ONE speech.

Gen.11:2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.

Gen.11:3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.

Gen.11:4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top [may reach] unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.

Gen.11:5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.

Gen.11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.

Gen.11:7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language (Gen.11:9 below), that they may not understand one another's speech.

Gen.11:8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of ALL the earth (Gen.11:9 below): and they left off to build the city.

Gen.11:9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth (Gen.11:7 above): and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of ALL the earth (Acts 17:26 above).
