The curse of BABEL began when God confounded the languages of the human race-
Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
Genesis 11:7
He began to reverse the curse at Pentecost-
And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not
all these which speak Galilaeans? And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in
Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and
strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of
God.
Acts 2:7-11
(Notice that the gift of tongues was NOT the modern day GIBBERISH of the chaismatics...It was foriegn languages...That is the GIFT of TONGUES)

"On that day the curse of confusion was replaced with the blessing of understanding." AmazingFacts
In the future, the curse will be finally reversed forever
For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call upon
the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
Zephaniah 3:9
