Following the confusion of language at the tower of Babel, wave after wave of warriors, shepherds, and builders left the plain of Mesopotamia for the rims of the world. As they swarmed out, they pushed one another further west and east through their commerce, adventure, conquest, and appetites. And as they went, they took their Babylonian hearts with them. The scattering was by and large a scattering of idolatrous pagans, regardless of whether they were descendants of Shem or Ham or Japheth. Genesis 11:10
Man is the same yesterday and today. It doesn't matter if we're driving a Tesla or walking a donkey, man's nature is the same, sinful. Left to our own desires, that base nature dominates. Thankfully, God keeps providing a lifeline. First it was Noah, then from his son Shem, Abram is descended. From Abram is David and then Jesus! God will always provide a way back to Him.
