The Nations at Pentecost

This radial visualization captures the dramatic reversal of Babel at Pentecost, where God transformed language from a barrier into a bridge for the gospel.

With Jerusalem at the center, representing the fulfillment of prophecy that God's word would go forth from Zion, the diagram shows how the Spirit's outpouring reached people from every corner of the known world.

The four geographical regions - Eastern Lands, Asia Minor, Africa, and Western Lands - illustrate the comprehensive scope of God's redemptive plan, fulfilling both the Abrahamic promise of blessing all nations and Jesus' commission for worldwide witness. Each golden connection line represents the Spirit's work in bridging cultural and linguistic divides, enabling each person to hear the gospel in their heart language.

This event established the pattern for the church's continuing mission: Spirit-empowered witness transcending all cultural boundaries to bring God's truth to every nation.
