The Mystery of Tongues
by Bayo Omoyiola, Jr
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth. He made tongues too. He created the tongues of the angels and the tongues of men.
Before man was created, the angels used to sing together on the earth. They spoke one language until the time when division came; when lucifer wanted to be like God. He and his angels rebelled and fought against God and were cut off from his presence. They lost their glory, their estate and their tongue. There seemed to be a memory loss. They don't seem to remember the language they used to speak. That explains why satan and his angels cannot understand us when we pray in tongues.
When man was created he had his own tongue and he could interact freely with his fellow man-kind until the time when division came; when man wanted to become like God. He tried to build a tower and a city whose top will reach unto heaven. That language was lost and men started
speaking different languages and tongues.
The Mystery
When a man becomes born again and filled with the Holy Spirit he starts to speak the tongue of angels, a language he does not understand and never learned before. With that same anointing that teaches us all things, he could speak and interpret any of the earthly languages he never spoke and understood before if the Spirit wills.
When the angels of God speak to earthly men. They hear them speaking their own natural language. The angels could speak any of the earthly tongues and understand men of different tongues. This is because they live in the presence of the all-knowing God and they have his presence always.
The End
In the world to come, the redeemed man would be speaking only one language as there would be unity of tongues. We would all understand one another for that which is in part would be done away with when that which is perfect is come. We would all be in one accord, speaking a pure language - the language of heaven which is the tongue of angels and all things would be clear to us because the veil of carnality would have been removed.
For now we speak only in part and see these things only dimly having received just a token of the powers of the age to come but we have a sure hope that one day when that which is perfect is come we would speak in full and see fully. Selah
