God's Native Tongue

I sort of have two topics in-one today. One kind of sprouted the other.


Okay, so we all know God can speak any language that He wants including the language of the mind where He doesn't actually have to speak to your ears but more so to your heart and mind.


However, I was thinking the other day about what the first language was in the Bible. I'm not sure if its actually known or not, but I believe that a good educated guess would be that the language was Hebrew or Adamic.


I've often wondered what language God prefers to speak and then I thought to myself... His so-called native tongue is probably whatever language He gave humans in the beginning when He created them in His image. So, if they spoke Hebrew or Adamic, then maybe that's what God's preferred language is (even though He can speak/understand all).


After digging around and looking into this, I decided to switch tracks a little. I've always believed that there was one language that the world shared before the "Tower of Babel" incident. We've all heard that God seperated the languages during the Tower of Babel episode in order to confuse the builders. If you look back in Genesis, you'll see that were already multiple languages before this event took place.

Gen 10:5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.

Gen 10:20 These [are] the sons of Ham, after their families, after their tongues, in their countries, [and] in their nations.

Gen 10:31 These [are] the sons of Shem, after their families, after their tongues, in their lands, after their nations.

These verses, to me, point out that there were different nationalities and different languages in different parts of the land already.

So, when the incident happened at the Tower of Babel, this was not the first moment that there were new languages (as many including myself may have believed). Yes, God did seperate the languages at this moment (maybe even created new ones), but this was not the first time a new language was presented. God could seperate your language from mine right now, it can be true that He seperated our languages, but that doesn't neccessarily mean this is the first time a new language has been heard (as many have believed from reading that story about the Tower of Babel).
