Tongues at Corinth: Languages, not Ecstasies!

Hodge comments: “The Jews had refused to hear the prophets speaking their own language, and God threatened to bring upon them a people whose language they could not understand. This was a judgment — a mark of displeasure designed as a punishment, and not for their conversion….

“Sending foreigners among the Hebrews was a mark of God’s displeasure!” Yet this is precisely what God did to the Jews, also during the first century A.D. Indeed, He then did so in the scattered ‘diaspora’ such as at Corinth – – as well as in Palestine, at the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70! Jas. 1:1; I Pet. 1:1; Mt. 24:15-28f.
