What is happening today will always be a reflection of what had happened before. Solomon stated it as there is nothing new under the sun.
Generations after the flood of Noah, the people build a tower. A tall and huge tower we were told in Genesis 11. We know later that God confused them with languages and that they were scattered all over the globe. Many years had passed and in our generation, we are witnessing the building of the tower of Babel throughout the Globe. Some said that the English word babbling came from Babel.

Note the one proposed in Japan like that of a pyramid mentioned to be the biggest of them all. Doesn't it remind us of EXILE?
While the world is racing to build the tallest tower, let us be reminded we are called to a race as well.
Acts 20:24
24But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my coursewith joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.1 Corinthians 9:24-27Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
