He ordered everyone to return to their hometowns, and enter their names in a register there. Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem with Mary, who was pregnant, as he was a descendant of King David.Once they reached Bethlehem, there were no rooms or lodges available.

But Noah, an obedient servant of God in the Old Testament who found favor with God amidst a sinful world saved his family with God’s grace. Years after the flood, when Noah and his family settled down and had more children, they began to move from place to place. When they reached the land of Babylon, they decided to settle there and build a tower so high that it would reach the sky. The hearts of the people were proud, and they thought that they could reach the same level as God, the Highest. This pride was their downfall. When God came down to the city and saw what the people were doing, He became very angry. He decided to put a stop to their construction, by making sure that nobody could understand each-other. God made sure that all the people there began to speak a different language, so that neighbours could no longer understand each other. When people tried to communicate, it turned into a whole babble of confused voices. Soon, everyone who spoke the same language left the city together, and in this way, they spread out across the world, taking their different languages with them. This is why the tower is called the tower of “babel.” Perhaps the origin of the word “babble”. Moral:The pride of the people of Babylon led to their downfall. Just like Satan, they wanted to be like God. We must humble ourselves before the Lord.
