Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

“God’s rejection of the Jewish nation qua [or ‘as a’] nation came to completion, however, in the terrible razing of Jerusalem by the Romans in A.D. 70…. Speaking in unlearned tongues, then, fulfilled a valuable role in the apostolic period. But, like that of the apostolate itself, it was only a temporary role…. Since the specific purpose of speaking in unlearned tongues was to signal God’s alienation from Israel, we should rightly expect these tongues to pass away quietly with the smoke that arose from the temple afire” in 70 A.D. Thus Judisch’s op. cit. pp 39-43.
