One
way of understanding the story of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-21) is that it reverses Babel (Genesis 11.) The Babel story was about exclusion (building
a fortress to keep others out) but the story of Pentecost is about inclusion
(all the nations of the earth hear the message of God’s salvation.) The Babel
story was about making a name for itself (read Genesis 11:4!) but the Pentecost story is about making a
name for Jesus. The Babel story was about a place, but the Pentecost story is
about a people (cf. Acts 2:42-47.)
