‘There before me was a great multitude, that no-one could count. from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.’ Revelation 7:9
A local vicar advertised that he was giving classes to anyone where he would teach Hebrew and Greek. A number of people in the town applied for the classes. Among them them were applicants who were older men who already had a good grasp of the Bible but were obviously keen to learn more. There was a sprinkling of younger men, anxious to further their careers in the church. None of these applicants were surprising.
Among their number was a little old lady who seemed very keen. The vicar couldn’t help being curious. He doubted she would be able to grasp these complex languages and felt he had to ask. Her reply stunned him. ‘I want to be able to speak to God in His language when I get to heaven..’
What a misunderstanding! God speaks in every language as He is the author of them. Not only does understand every word spoken in whatever tongue, He understands every intention of our hearts, without a word being spoken. God recognses the words of the down-trodden, the weary or the arrogant. No whispered word or arrow prayer ever goes unheard by Him. He understands, really understands.
