Bear With Me, (ramblings of a single dad who doesn't have his toddler today)
This has been stirring around my head for the last month or so and hopefully I'm not just regurgitating someone else's work.
Recalling Genesis 11:1-9 and the Tower of Babel, one line stands out to me. Verse 6: "Look!" He said. "The people are united, and they all speak the same language. After this, nothing they set out to do will be impossible for them!
It appears (to me) God saw Man's abilities and intention/desire to become God (to themselves). He said there was Nothing that would be impossible for man and so He hindered and slowed it from occurring....but He didn't stop it from occurring. He instead chose to merely delay man's abilities by scattering the population by giving them confounding tongues, languages.
In doing some research I found some explanations (via Bible Hub) of verse Genesis 11:6
Jamieson-Faussett-Brown Bible Commentary said about the verse :
and now nothing will be restrained from them—an apparent admission that the design was practicable, and would have been executed but for the divine interposition.
Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges said about the verse :
they will be baulked in no enterprise. If they mount up to heaven, their arrogance will make them endeavour to rival God Himself. It is the same kind of apprehension as in Genesis 3:22.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Now that they have made this notable beginning of concentration, ambition, and renown, there is nothing in this way which they will not imagine or attempt.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
and they were not to be prevailed upon to desist from their work, by any advice that the sons of God could give them; they were obstinate and self-willed, and not to be argued with and persuaded to leave off; and there was no power on earth superior to them, to oblige them to it; they could only be restrained from their enterprise, and hindered from executing it, by divine power; and which was judged necessary to exert, as appears by what follows: and the words may be rendered, "shall they not be restrained? &c." they shall.

Then there's this (article ready a year old)
The title of the article may as well boast, "We've found a way around God" (language). We know this isn't true, it's part if God's plan for man to have his knowledge and abilities at this point in time.
I can't help but think what God knew man would accomplish (specifically) and He held back, is now being allowed to unfold and develop, bringing us to the "End Times" per His design and Master Plan.
