Major events that precede the tower being built are: The translation of the city of Enoch, the flood, the dividing of the continents. The people have very legitimate reasons to be concerned about being scattered.
The idea of building a city and placing a tower in the middle of it that will get us to heaven is not a strange idea. From Joseph smith down to today we have been doing the same thing. We build cities and build our temple in them. The purpose of our temples is to get us to heaven. However, there was something that adam, enoch and noah understood that these people did not. They understood that Salvation is in the alter, not in the tower. When one puts their faith in the tower alone and does not recognized that salvation comes in the ordinances that take place at the alter they have no salvation. Having a temple in our midst will not save us unless we understand that we need to get to the alter.
The people were completely trusting in themselves and not in the Lord. So the lord confounds their language. Who is left that can understand them. God. Story of first three days of my mission and turning to the Lord.
There is one group of people that were not confounded. They kept themselves from being confounded by remembering the Lord (alter). However, why is it that the people keep asking Mohonri-moriacumer to keep praying for them.
