How do we know God's sovereignty in language is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty over language is demonstrated through His acts in Scripture, particularly at Babel, where He confounded human ambition.

God's sovereignty is explicitly illustrated in Scripture, particularly in the story of Babel in Genesis 11. When humanity attempted to build a tower to reach heaven, God intervened by disrupting their single language, which exemplifies His control over human affairs and intentions. This act serves as a profound reminder of God's authority and how He uses language to achieve His purposes, dispersing people to fulfill His command to replenish the earth. Moreover, the promise in Zephaniah of a pure language highlights that God will ultimately restore communication among His people, signifying His ongoing sovereignty in both creation and redemption.
