Babel to Pentecost


Acts 2:4-7
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.  5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under heaven. 6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language. 7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

I have always looked at the day of Pentecost as God's calling His people back together who were separated at Babel with diverse languages to keep them from banding together in prideful unrighteous, similar to Eden's banishment to keep us from living forever in sin.  By His Spirit giving understanding of each other again, He showed our calling out together once again - but in Christ safely together for our good and God's glory.
