These towers are still built today in the way in which worship is understood. It is the nature in which personal pronouns are latticed together in song by which the gifts of God are either glorified, or by which the towers focusing upon men are exposed.
Genesis 11:4, "Come let us build ourselves a city..."
AELW2:211
"I believe their motive is expressed in the words: “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower.” These words are evidence of smug hearts, which put their trust in the things of this world without trusting God and despise the church because it lacks all power and pomp."(Emphasis original to AELW, actually Luther had ourselves in all caps)
