As I’ve already observed, you just don’t seem to know how to read or understand Scriptures.
God has given His children the methodology on how to understand the deeper meaning of Scripture by comparing scripture with scripture and spiritual things with spiritual.
So that you know that I know the meaning of 1 Corinthians 14:20-21, I will point you to the scriptures without expounding on them as they are self explanatory. However, you may not like the scripture references but I’ll leave that between you and the Lord.
Verse 21) In the law it is written (Old Testament), With men of other tongues and other lips (foreign nations) will I speak unto this people (Ancient/National Israel); and yet for all that will they not hear me, saith the Lord.
Words in parenthesis are mine.
As I’ve said, the commentary on verse 21 above can be found in three scriptures. Deuteronomy 28:49; Isaiah 28:11-13; Jeremiah 5:15.
In my KJV Bible, the footnotes for verse 21 are John 10:34;1 Corinthians 14:34, and Isaiah 28:11-12 so a little different for scriptural references and the commentary on that verse at the bottom of the page is referring law to specifically Isaiah 28:11-12 with cross reference to John 10:34 & Romans 3:20.
Since footnotes from Biblical scholars has designated the behemoth in Job 40 as a hippo or an elephant, He pointed out to me that neither one has a tail as long as a tree. AND surprisingly enough in that same verse, his sexual organs are internal which scientists only recently discovered.
So... not much for commentary to be taken at face value. You have to discern and prove everything by Him. You can't take any footnotes nor commentary at face value.
That being said, your bold in verse 21 opposes yourself, because as I do accept that it is foreign languages, it is hardly meant for ancient national Israel when they did not speak all those languages coming out of Egypt. You may not meant that, but God hardly needs to speak in foreign languages to the nation of Israel when their Hebrew language is suffice. For foreign Jews to even know what is going on in Jerusalem, they have to know the original Hebrew language AND that is why devout Jews from every nation under the heaven were surprised because they knew these native Jews were speaking in their native tongue from the foreign lands they live in.
I reckon I am trying to convey that God's gift of tongues was not meant to be limited to Israel when it is of foreign tongues.
Now I’ll show you that the phenomenon of speaking in tongues has ceased and knowledge will vanish away also. The following passages are self explanatory too. I don’t see how you could have missed these Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 13:8-10.
I am familiar with that verse, but since Paul is testifying to tongues being manifested in church in the following chapter, the debate is when it has ceased, if it did at all.
Now the modern tongue I am speaking against is the one identified by believers as what they assume was the Holy Spirit coming over them later on in life as a saved believer apart from salvation which in according to our faith ( 2 Corinthians 13:5 ), cannot be the real indwelling Holy Spirit when He was promised to abide in us forever and that we will know Him by Him dwelling in us and not by the way the world knows spirits in receiving them again and again and again in John 14:16-17 & 2 Corinthians 11:3-4 as Paul did warn in 1 Timothy 4:3-4 & the apostle John in 1 John 4:1-6. The tongue I am speaking against has been in the world before Pentecost as proven in Isaiah 8:19 and by secular reports at the link below.

But I will NOT do your homework for you. I want you to search out the Scripture for the meaning of speaking in tongues, and until you do, you will never understand why prophesying is much better than speaking in tongues.
I am sure God's gift of prophesy has not ceased and somewhere in the world, the gospel may still be being preached in tongues understood by foreigners where interpretations are being done in the assembly of that church in that area, but the apostasy is widespread all over the world and God will be judging His House soon wherein the dispensation of the gospel will go back to the Jews, the 144,000 Witnesses, after the pre great trib rapture as 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel will be sealed. And they will not all be in Israel and the real God's gifts of tongues to speak unto foreigners may be revived again for them to be serving Him for teh duration of the great tribulation...
BUT because of the apostasy, I can understand why God is not manifesting His real gift of tongues in the assemblies where in the midst of Satan's tongues operating that has been in the world before Pentecost as coming without interpretation because it is just gibberish.
Yes.. only God can minister and only God causes the increase for why we are to be teaching in meekness and patience... FYI.
2 Timothy 2:24
And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
