First Skyscraper – Genesis 11 – Draw Bible Stories Project

First Skyscraper Story (Genesis 11:1-9)

Ascension Vision – city & cloud – After Noah’s flood, the new generations spoke one language. They gathered together to build a city with a tower as high as the sky.

Godless Future – king, hammer, tower, cloud, crown – God visited the city and perceived their intentions. He discerned that this tower would become an idol. Mankind will reject God and worship their own glory.

New Languages – speaking woman & confused man – God created new languages to confuse the builders.

Scattered Settlements – villages, earth, stars – All the people were confused. They organized by language and scattered across the world to form new societies. 

Storytellers Sight

• Imagine spending your whole life in a small village. Then one day, you visit a city and see a skyscraper.

• The Devil is not mentioned, but it’s obvious that he is involved in man’s plans to build this great city. How?

• Why does God say that eventually anything will be possible for mankind if they build this city and tower?

• How did new languages keep the people from finishing the tower? Why did everyone move away?

• How does this story prepare us to meet Abraham?
