Here I want to give you some background information about mission and the healing
of the nations. It's fascinating that you will
see throughout the whole bible that God not only meant single
ones or only the people of Israel.
In 1
Moses 12:2+3 it is already written: "I
will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will
make your name great,
and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you. "
Here you can see clearly that God did not want to bless Abraham and his
decendants only but all peoples of the earth. Again and again the nations
are mentioned.
The great commission of Jesus says: "Make disciples
of all nations" (Matthew
28,19). Jesus does not only speak of
|

single ones but of whole nations!
In Revelation
7:9 you can finally read: "After
this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that
no-one could count,
from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before
the throne and in front of the Lamb." So in heaven
a great multitude of men of all nations, tribes and languages
will worship the lamb of God. That's far more of our normal understanding
of a nation of men united within the borders of a land.
That means that every tribe, every culture, every language will
be represented to worship Jesus. It is very comforting that all
those really will be gathered in heaven. Until that there's still
a lot to do so that all of them have heard of Jesus and want
to live with him. Not only single ones but nations in their wholeness.
That this can happen the nations has to be healed first so that they can
accept Jesus...
soon you will find here more...
