Pentecost (Acts 2); the reverse of what happened at the tower of Babel (Genesis 11)
At Pentecost, God poured out his Spirit. At Babel, the people did not have the Spirit of God.
| Tower of Babel | Pentecost |
| 1. Confusion of tongues [Genesis 11:9] | 1. Tongues are understood [Acts 2: 5-10] |
| 2. God scattered the people in judgment to the four corners of the earth [Genesis 11:8]. | 2. People will scatter to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ and to bring into the Covenant the harvest of souls from every corner of the earth [Acts 1:8] |
| 3. Language is used to promote a human agenda: "Let's make a name for ourselves..." [Genesis 11:4] | 3. Language is used as a "sign" to announce the mighty works of God. |
| 4. Results in disunity [Genesis 11:8] | 4. Results in unity |
and the Church started with just 120 people....
Peace
