Conditions for PEACE

Genesis 11 describes the condition of this earth after God has sent it through a 'washer'. Verse. 11:6 gives God's take on a developing situation not long after the world wide flood. "And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. " I noticed three points that God 'saw'. The people had a common goal, they were 'one' and they had an excellent communication system (all spoke one language). The result was that even God saw that whatever they decided to do, they would accomplish.
On the surface that sounds like organized peace, doesn't it? But evidently something was amiss. Organized is definitely involved in the three above mentioned combination. God's form of peace, however, must involve something more or God would not have been unhappy with the tower builders.

The missing part was having a unified goal toward doing God's revealed will rather than 'my way' - any other will.

Another thought coming from this story of the tower of Babel is that when God simply confounded the communication system the whole plan of unity fell apart.

Sounds like a very important condition of organized peace is effective and appropriate, communication. I can vouch for that in my more recent experiences.

It is late and I am tired so will add more later.
