Language is a vehicle that He created with all of its differences and dialects - and abilities to change with times and places - yet remaining able to communicate His timeless truths in countless ways so that people in every place and time will be able to understand.
Therefore, we can all rest assured that the following prophecy of Scripture will one day come to pass everywhere - for all people - in every language.
PHILIPPIANS 2:9-11 NKJV
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee* should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth**, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue*** should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
* “every knee” means every person is going to bow to their knees.
** "in heaven, on earth and under the earth" means that this amazing event will take place everywhere.
*** “every tongue” means every language will be spoken
(γλῶσσα, i. e. glossa is the Greek word the writer used here, meaning language)
