Did Our Languages Come From the "Tower of Babel"? - THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGE

 After reviewing the location of linguistic "fossils," the fundanmental differences  between language groups, and the complexity of ancient languages, what reasonable conclusion  could we draw?   Many concluded that the Bible's account of what took place at Babel is a fully credible explanation.

The Bible  tells us that Jehovah God confused the people's language at Babel because they rebelled against him.  (Genesis 11:4-7) However, he promised that he would "give to  peoples the change to pure language, in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah, in order to serve him shoulder to shoulder." (Zephaniah 3:9)  This "pure language," the truth from God's Word, draws together a people from around the world today.  It seems logical tha tin the future God would unite mankind further by giving them one common language, undoing the confusion at Babel.
