He said that in the court of the Gentiles, so he was referring to people from "from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages" (Rev. 7:9). And of course he made this even more explicit in Acts 1:8 when he said to his disciples, "you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."<br /><br />This is mind-blowing! Imagine if I told you that one day people would be worshipping me in every country around the world...you would think I was absolutely nuts--not only because I was talking about people worshipping me, but also because I'm an insignificant person predicting a worldwide movement. But here's Jesus, living in a backwater country with only a few followers, and he predicts that he will inherit a kingdom that extends to the ends of the earth! Only God could make that happen, and only God could predict it long before it did.Dave Swavelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903342933814792279noreply@blogger.com
