After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice:
“Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.”
- Revelation 7:9–10
One thing that I’m going to do in heaven is learn all the languages of the people there. I’ll have enough time… I’m thinking of it as my little project for eternity.
As it stands at the moment: 5 (partially) down, about 6995 to go. Arguably some universal grammar might help me – I might even understand English grammar by the end of it too. Or maybe not.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.- Amazing Grace
(PS – in case you’re wondering, språk is Swedish for ‘language’, and, incidentally, was the title of my language workbooks when I studied it some years ago).
