(1Ch 1:19) “And unto Eber were born two sons: the name of the one was Peleg; because in his days the earth was divided: and his brother’s name was Joktan…” In verse 10 of this genealogy, this world was divided by the confusion of speech as a result of Nimrod’s influence. This was a judgment of God for the good of mankind. In the text before us we see, after men spread around a joined land mass, the Lord divided them further. This is why although the first people before the flood corrupted each other in some 1500 years, the people this side of the flood have lasted around 5500 years. The barrier of land and the difference in language has been overcome through various inventions of man, bringing man’s rapid corruption. Hold on; get right with God; for the end will be soon of this world as we know it today (Tribulation, 1,000 reign, end of the world).
