Tongues – A Sign for Unbelieving Israel | 1 Corinthians 14:22 KJV
“Wherefore tongues are for a sign, not to them that believe, but to them that believe not.”
— 1 Corinthians 14:22 KJVTongues were a covenant sign for Israel — Paul cites Isaiah 28:11 as the precedent. At Pentecost, Jewish diaspora heard the Gospel in their own languages — a miraculous sign that God was moving among His people. Tongues told Israel: the Kingdom offer is going out.
Paul's correction of the Corinthian tongue-speakers is extensive — 1 Corinthians 14. I had rather speak five words with my understanding than ten thousand in an unknown tongue. The gift, properly used, required interpretation. Chaotic ecstatic use was not endorsed.
Your access to God does not require a gift of tongues. The Spirit intercedes for you — Romans 8:26-27. You have direct access to the Father in the name of Christ. That is sufficient, glorious, and eternally secure.
