After the ark landed on the mountains of Ararat, Noah and his family, with the animals, step onto dry ground for the first time in over a year. God then commands Noah and his sons to spread out and repopulate the earth (Gen. 9:1). Disruption is designed to help us refocus and realize God’s mercy. As the clan grows larger over hundreds of years, they move east and south from Ararat to the fertile Mesopotamian valley (modern Iraq). These pre-Sumerians decide to stay and build a city and a tower. God, who recently destroyed billions of living things in His judgment against sinful humanity, recognizes people are already rebelling against His word. When humanity discards God’s word, it invites divine disruption.
