The biblical gift of tongues was a sign that the New Covenant would include people from every nation. It was especially important for the Jews, so that they did not try to force Gentiles to become Jews or vainly think that Christ's blood was shed for Jews alone - and so that they would also see that God had judged the Jewish nation for her disobedience and the Old Covenant would be done away.

I can't believe I've never heard it put this way before. Thanks, Kyle. That was an amazing eye-opener for me. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bravo.gif" alt="" />
