In {{Bible ref|book=Acts|chap=2|verses=6}} we read that the apostles were able to speak in their own language while all those present actually heard the words in the own various native languages. At the Tower of Babel, all people speaking a common tongue were suddenly cursed with various tongues. This is because all language is supernatural. It is a supernatural gift from the Creator for mankind's communication with God and with other humans.

We are also informed that the gift of tongues (languages) is for use before unbelievers {{Bible ref|book=1 Corinthians|chap=14|verses=22}} as a ''sign''. And that the coming "son of perdition" {{Bible ref|book=2 Thessalonians|chap=2|verses=3}} will come to power {{Bible ref|book=2 Thessalonians|chap=2|verses=9}} with ''signs'' and lying wonders. As ''signs'' are associated with language, theologians have speculated that the son of perdition will perform language-based miracles just as he will change times and laws for his own glory {{Bible ref|book=Daniel|chap=7|verses=25}}.

As ''signs'' are associated with language, theologians have speculated that the son of perdition will perform language-based miracles (e.g. spontaneously change the spoken/written language of people who declare fealty to him) just as he will change times and laws for his own glory {{Bible ref|book=Daniel|chap=7|verses=25}}. One can only imagine the effect of being able to control every aspect of human existence by excluding infidels from participating in society because they cannot speak the new language of the son of perdition. Outsiders would be easily identified, and would be unable to read news, maps, clocks, or participate in the economy etc, effectively being in a prison of illiteracy unless they join the son of perdition.
