The Language of Crows

I was staying at a hotel recently with the window open. Several crows were up in the trees doing what crows do, “crowing” to each other. It made me wonder, what are they saying? I’m sure they understood each other. Will we someday, in the future, understand the language of the birds and animals? Perhaps. 

All creatures have quite a sophisticated language by which they communicate with each other. Whales, elephants, lions, cows, and birds make distinct noises. We humans may not grasp what they are saying, but they are “talking”. 

The Bible says that one day God will bring ALL things together in Christ. ALL things will be under His Lordship. He will gather as one universe, heaven and earth, and all of its creatures. In that grand scenario, why would we not understand each other? 

You remember that the serpent spoke in such a way that Eve understood (Genesis 3:1). In Numbers 22, we are told that Balaam’s donkey spoke to him when the Lord opened its mouth (verse 28), then Balaam spoke to the donkey (verse 29), and the donkey spoke to Balaam (verse 30). That was an actual conversation between man and beast. 

If God did that once or twice before, He could surely do it again. Maybe someday I will understand “crow” talk. What do you think?
