Both at Babel and at Jerusalem God supernaturally caused men to speak in various tongues. But the consequences differed radically. At Babel there was confusion and division. Men were scattered abroad on all the face of the earth. That was the beginning of nationalism. At Jerusalem one message was proclaimed in many tongues. It was the evangel. By the Word of God, which is ‘quick and powerful’ (Heb 4:12), the Spirit of God drew men from every nation under heaven into the one church of Christ. Pentecost spells both universalism and unity.
