Scripture repeatedly shows that God intervenes in human affairs, such as His response to humanity's wickedness in the days of Noah and at Babel.
The sovereignty of God is clearly illustrated through His interventions in human history. In Genesis 6, God responds to the wickedness of mankind by sending the flood, preserving Noah and his family, who found grace in His eyes. Similarly, in Genesis 11, God intervenes at Babel when humanity, united in pride and ambition to build a tower, seeks to elevate themselves above Him. He confounds their language and scatters them across the earth to demonstrate His dominion over human endeavors and to ensure that His divine purposes prevail. These instances are crucial for understanding God's active role in governing the world.
