How does Christ’s command to “go forth and teach all nations” work in the setting of people only using their native language and never learning those of others?
It doesn’t. IMHO, it is worthwhile to learn foreign languages and cultures.
 
I think you are right, it was very clear back then, God scrambled the languages for a reason, but in modern times, the non-action of God sort of reminds me of a parent who has an unruly child, at first, the parent tries to lay down the law, punishes swiftly, and the punishments are very clear, there is no question why they are being punished, but then after the unruly child just keeps on disobeying, keeps doing the same thing over and over, eventually or after the child reaches a certain age, the parent gives up, they dont throw out harsh punishments anymore, because they have seen they dont work.

In modern times, its pretty clear we are trying to create a society without God, so just like Babel, we are trying to build a tall enough ‘building’ to reach heaven (on our own), yet today, we dont see God doing anything to punish us anymore.

Id like to know what happened, and why God seems to take no action anymore in our world, but I doubt this will happen anytime soon.
My dear friend, GOD IS active in this world. Believe me, I needed to be hit with a 4x4 to understand that I was in a very dangerous position. I am still working out to dig myself out of the hole I dug myself into.
Pray for me that I can persevere to the end, but without HIS intervention I would still be running towards destruction.
Now I can see, HOW even though I did not realize it at the time, HE was working to help me.
As for punishing us, I believe we bring punishment enough on ourselves, GOD does not need to pile it up on us.
