it will be for them to fulfill their responsibilities. The importance of communication is clearly
illustrated in the Biblical account of the tower of Babel. Read this story in Genesis 11:1-9.

It is not a vague purpose or a “hoped for” purpose. He is working for a specific, settled purpose. The purpose of God is clearly communicated in His Word.
