Spiritual Gift - Interpretation of Tongues

---

Earthly Example

You can think of it like a person who follows around a person and translates what that person says so that people who speak a different language can understand them. Diplomats who go to other countries that speak languages other than their own language, often will have a translator or interpreter. 

Spiritual Explanation

After someone has spoken in tongues, God will give a person with the gift of interpretation, the ability to know and say what that person said in their own language. Whew! That was a long sentence. Basically someone speaks in a different or spiritual language and someone with this gift retells it in their own language .. by God's power of course. It is God speaking through them.

Biblical Example

26 What is it then, brothers? When you come together, each one of you has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has another language, has an interpretation. Let all things be done to build each other up. 27 If any man speaks in another language, let it be two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let one interpret. 28 But if there is no interpreter, let him keep silent in the assembly, and let him speak to himself, and to God. (1 Corinthians 14:26-28 WEB)
