Bible Question:
I know that God divided the languages at the tower of Babel, but I have read a passage in the Bible that seems to state that at some time God will restore us to a common language and understanding. Now I can not find this passage again. Please help. I think it might be in Revelations but i'm not sure. thanks in advance.... abbub3 |
Bible Answer: abbub3, This may be the passage you are thinking of. I don't recall anything in Scripture about everyone speaking the same language (except for the antediluvian civilization). We do know that people in the millennium will be divided by nations. This tends to imply that different cultures and languages will continue to exist. After all, the people who begin the millennium are believers in Christ from every nation of the world. In eternity there still seems to be nations (Rev 22:2). But it will be a whole new ball game at that point, with unimaginable differences. Hebrews 8:11 "And they shall not teach everyone his fellow citizen, And everyone his brother, saying 'Know the Lord,' For all shall know Me, From the least to the greatest of them." (The author of Hebrews quoted this from Jeremiah 31:34) Pemican |
