If Genesis 11 never happened, world history would look completely different. The Tower of Babel isn’t a strange “side story” tucked into the Bible. It’s truly one of Scripture’s major turning points. Its significance includes: • The scattering of humanity across the earth • The origin of language families and nations • God’s judgment against collective human rebellion • The failure of mankind’s attempt to build unity without God • The backdrop for the development of civilizations and cultures • The transition from universal human history to the story of Abraham and Israel • A foreshadowing of Pentecost, where the Gospel begins reversing Babel’s divisions Babel is more than a tower. It’s the moment God redirected the course of human history.

This is your heart. It beats: ~70 times per minute. ~4,200 per hour. ~100,000 per day. ~700,000 per week. ~35 million per year. ~2.5 billion in a lifetime. Every beat given as a gift by God, your Creator, who designed you. Have you thanked Him for life today?

When Jerusalem fell in 70 AD, world history changed forever. The destruction of Jerusalem and the Second Temple was one of the most significant turning points in biblical and human history. Its significance includes: • The destruction of the Temple, the center of Jewish worship for centuries • The end of the Old Covenant sacrificial system • The fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy that not one stone would be left upon another • The scattering of the Jewish people throughout the Roman world • The transformation of Judaism into the rabbinic form that exists today • The final separation between Christianity and mainstream Judaism • The preservation of Christianity as a global faith rather than a Jerusalem-centered movement • A dramatic demonstration of God’s judgment upon a generation that rejected its Messiah • One of the most historically documented events of the ancient world through Josephus and Roman sources • The backdrop for much of the New Testament’s warnings, prophecies, and urgency 70 AD is the moment the ancient biblical world came to an end and a new era began.

God is an Artist, and He is glorified day a night by his creation. David declared this in the Psalms when he wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.”

It’s AD 1444. You’re in Europe. Do you realize what’s happening right now? Constantinople is still Christian. But it has only 9 years left until it becomes Islamic Istanbul. The Ottoman Empire is pushing deeper into Europe. The Byzantine Empire is dying after more than 1,000 years. The Hundred Years’ War is still being fought between England and France. The Black Death happened within living memory, and plague still returns to European cities. The Renaissance is taking off in Italy. Florence is becoming the center of a revolution in art, architecture, and learning. Ancient Greek and Roman writings are being rediscovered and studied. Gutenberg is experimenting with movable-type printing. Within a decade, the Gutenberg Bible will be printed. For most Europeans, books are still copied by hand. Most people will never own a book. The Catholic Church dominates religious life across Western Europe. There are no Protestants. Martin Luther won’t be born for another 39 years. The Reformation is still 73 years away. Most Europeans still understand the world through a deeply Christian worldview. Latin remains the language of the Church and European scholarship. Universities already exist at Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, Bologna and elsewhere. Gunpowder is changing warfare. Cannons are making the great stone castles of the Middle Ages increasingly vulnerable. Knights in armor still ride into battle. Longbows and crossbows are still deadly weapons of war. The compass is helping European sailors venture farther from familiar coastlines. Portuguese explorers are pushing down the coast of Africa. Europeans still have no idea that the Americas exist. Columbus hasn’t even been born yet. Leonardo da Vinci hasn’t been born yet. Michelangelo hasn’t been born yet. Shakespeare is more than a century away. The printing revolution is coming. The Age of Exploration is coming. The fall of Constantinople is coming. The Reformation is coming. The medieval world is fading. The modern world is beginning to stir. And you’re standing right in the middle of it. Welcome to Europe in 1444 AD.
