THE GENTILES AND NATIONS IN GOD'S PLAN
Mt 12:17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the
prophet, saying,
18 Behold my servant, whom I have chosen; my beloved, in whom my soul is
well pleased: I will put my spirit on him, and he shall show judgment to the
Gentiles.
19 He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the
streets.
20 A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench,
till he send forth judgment to victory.
21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for
a witness to all nations; and then shall the end come.
28:19 Go you therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Lu 2:29 Lord, now let you your servant depart in peace, according to
your word:
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 Which you have prepared before the face of all people;
32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel.
Joh 10:16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them
also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold,
and one shepherd.
Acts 3:25 You are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant
which God made with our fathers, saying to Abraham, And in your seed shall
all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
9:15 But the Lord said to him, Go your way: for he is a chosen vessel to me,
to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will show him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God
is no respecter of persons:
35 But in every nation he that fears him, and works righteousness, is
accepted with him.
45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as
came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift
of the Holy Ghost.
11:1 And the apostles and brothers that were in Judaea heard that the
Gentiles had also received the word of God.
2 And when Peter was come up to Jerusalem, they that were of the
circumcision contended with him,
3 Saying, You went in to men uncircumcised, and did eat with them.
11:17 For as much then as God gave them the like gift as he did to us, who
believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
18 When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God,
saying, Then has God also to the Gentiles granted repentance to life.
13:45 But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and
spoke against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and
blaspheming.
46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the
word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing you put it from
you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, see, we turn to the
Gentiles.
47 For so has the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set you to be a light of
the Gentiles, that you should be for salvation to the ends of the earth.
48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word
of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.
14:16 Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.
17 Nevertheless he left not himself without witness, in that he did good,
and gave us rain from heaven, and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with
food and gladness.
14:27 And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they
rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of
faith to the Gentiles.
15:1 And certain men which came down from Judaea taught the brothers, and
said, Except you be circumcised after the manner of Moses, you cannot be
saved.
2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation
with them, they determined that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them,
should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders about this question.
3 And being brought on their way by the church, they passed through Phenice
and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles: and they caused great
joy to all the brothers.
4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, they were received of the church,
and of the apostles and elders, and they declared all things that God had
done with them.
5 But there rose up certain of the sect of the Pharisees which believed,
saying, That it was needful to circumcise them, and to command them to keep
the law of Moses.
6 And the apostles and elders came together for to consider of this matter.
15:7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said to them,
Men and brothers, you know how that a good while ago God made choice among
us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and
believe.
8 And God, which knows the hearts, bore them witness, giving them the Holy
Ghost, even as he did to us;
9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
10 Now therefore why tempt you God, to put a yoke on the neck of the
disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?
11 But we believe that through the grace of the LORD Jesus Christ we shall
be saved, even as they.
12 Then all the multitude kept silence, and gave audience to Barnabas and
Paul, declaring what miracles and wonders God had worked among the Gentiles
by them.
15:13 And after they had held their peace, James answered, saying, Men and
brothers, listen to me:
14 Simeon has declared how God at the first did visit the Gentiles, to take
out of them a people for his name.
15 And to this agree the words of the prophets; as it is written,
16 After this I will return, and will build again the tabernacle of David,
which is fallen down; and I will build again the ruins thereof, and I will
set it up:
17 That the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles,
on whom my name is called, said the Lord, who does all these things.
18 Known to God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
19 Why my sentence is, that we trouble not them, which from among the
Gentiles are turned to God:
20 But that we write to them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols,
and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.
15:22 Then pleased it the apostles and elders with the whole church, to send
chosen men of their own company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; namely,
Judas surnamed Barsabas and Silas, chief men among the brothers:
23 And they wrote letters by them after this manner; The apostles and elders
and brothers send greeting to the brothers which are of the Gentiles in
Antioch and Syria and Cilicia.
28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay on you no greater
burden than these necessary things;
29 That you abstain from meats offered to idols, and from blood, and from
things strangled, and from fornication: from which if you keep yourselves,
you shall do well. Fare you well.
18:5 And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed
in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Christ.
6 And when they opposed themselves, and blasphemed, he shook his raiment,
and said to them, Your blood be on your own heads; I am clean; from now on I
will go to the Gentiles.
21:25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded
that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from
things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from
fornication.
28:27 For the heart of this people is waxed gross, and their ears are dull
of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their
eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and should
be converted, and I should heal them.
28 Be it known therefore to you, that the salvation of God is sent to the
Gentiles, and that they will hear it.
Rom 1:5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience
to the faith among all nations, for his name:
3:29 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of
the Gentiles also:
30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and
uncircumcision through faith.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yes, we establish
the law.
4:9 Comes this blessedness then on the circumcision only, or on the
uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for
righteousness.
10 How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in
uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.
11 And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of
the faith which he had yet being uncircumcised: that he might be the father
of all them that believe, though they be not circumcised; that righteousness
might be imputed to them also:
12 And the father of circumcision to them who are not of the circumcision
only, but who also walk in the steps of that faith of our father Abraham,
which he had being yet uncircumcised.
13 For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to
Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of
faith.
9:24 Even us, whom he has called, not of the Jews only, but also of the
Gentiles?
25 As he said also in Osee, I will call them my people, which were not my
people; and her beloved, which was not beloved.
26 And it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said to them,
You are not my people; there shall they be called the children of the living
God.
30 What shall we say then? That the Gentiles, which followed not after
righteousness, have attained to righteousness, even the righteousness which
is of faith.
31 But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, has not
attained to the law of righteousness.
10:12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same
Lord over all is rich to all that call on him.
13 For whoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
11:11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but
rather through their fall salvation is come to the Gentiles, for to provoke
them to jealousy.
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing
of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fullness?
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles,
I magnify my office:
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and
might save some of them.
25 For I would not, brothers, that you should be ignorant of this mystery,
lest you should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is
happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in.
15:8 Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the
truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers:
9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy; as it is written,
For this cause I will confess to you among the Gentiles, and sing to your
name.
10 And again he said, Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.
11 And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles; and laud him, all you
people.
12 And again, Esaias said, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall
rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
15:15 Nevertheless, brothers, I have written the more boldly to you in some
sort, as putting you in mind, because of the grace that is given to me of
God,
16 That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be
acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.
17 I have therefore whereof I may glory through Jesus Christ in those things
which pertain to God.
18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ has not
worked by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed,
15:26 For it has pleased them of Macedonia and Achaia to make a certain
contribution for the poor saints which are at Jerusalem.
27 It has pleased them truly; and their debtors they are. For if the
Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is
also to minister to them in carnal things.
16:3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:
4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: to whom not only I give
thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
16:25 Now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel,
and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the
mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
26 But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets,
according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all
nations for the obedience of faith:
1 Cor 1:23 But we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling
block, and to the Greeks foolishness;
7:17 But as God has distributed to every man, as the Lord has called every
one, so let him walk. And so ordain I in all churches.
18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised. Is
any called in uncircumcision? let him not be circumcised.
19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping
of the commandments of God.
12:2 You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, even
as you were led.
Gal 1:15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s
womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen;
immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:
2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be
circumcised:
2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat, (whatever they were, it makes no
matter to me: God accepts no man’s person:) for they who seemed to be
somewhat in conference added nothing to me:
7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was
committed to me, as the gospel of the circumcision was to Peter;
8 (For he that worked effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the
circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the
grace that was given to me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of
fellowship; that we should go to the heathen, and they to the circumcision.
10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also
was forward to do.
2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face,
because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles:
but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them
which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; so that Barnabas also
was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of
the gospel, I said to Peter before them all, If you, being a Jew, live after
the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compel you the Gentiles
to live as do the Jews?
15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
3:7 Know you therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the
children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through
faith, preached before the gospel to Abraham, saying, In you shall all
nations be blessed.
14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus
Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there
is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you be Christ’s, then are you Abraham’s seed, and heirs according
to the promise.
4:10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain.
5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty with which Christ has made us free,
and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2 Behold, I Paul say to you, that if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit
you nothing.
3 For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor
to do the whole law.
4 Christ is become of no effect to you, whoever of you are justified by the
law; you are fallen from grace.
5 For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision avails any thing, nor
uncircumcision; but faith which works by love.
Eph 2:11 Why remember, that you being in time past Gentiles in the
flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the
Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;
12 That at that time you were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having
no hope, and without God in the world:
13 But now in Christ Jesus you who sometimes were far off are made near by
the blood of Christ.
14 For he is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the
middle wall of partition between us;
15 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments
contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of two one new man, so
making peace;
16 And that he might reconcile both to God in one body by the cross, having
slain the enmity thereby:
17 And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that
were near.
18 For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
19 Now therefore you are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow
citizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given
me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known to me the mystery; (as I wrote before
in few words,
4 Whereby, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of
Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it is now
revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and
partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God
given to me by the effectual working of his power.
8 To me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that
I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;
9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from
the beginning of the world has been hid in God, who created all things by
Jesus Christ:
Col 1:26 Even the mystery which has been hid from ages and from
generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of
an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
2:20 Why if you be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as
though living in the world, are you subject to ordinances,
21 (Touch not; taste not; handle not;
22 Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and
doctrines of men?
23 Which things have indeed a show of wisdom in will worship, and humility,
and neglecting of the body: not in any honor to the satisfying of the flesh.
3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision,
Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.
1 Th 2:16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they might be
saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath is come on them to the
uttermost.
1 Tim 2:7 Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I
speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith
and verity.
3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to
the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Gen 22:18 And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed; because you have obeyed my voice.
1 Ch 16:24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvelous works
among all nations.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among
the nations, The LORD reigns.
Ps 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the
LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you.
28 For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.
67:1 God be merciful to us, and bless us; and cause his face to shine on us;
Selah.
2 That your way may be known on earth, your saving health among all nations.
3 Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
4 O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for you shall judge the people
righteously, and govern the nations on earth. Selah.
5 Let the people praise you, O God; let all the people praise you.
6 Then shall the earth yield her increase; and God, even our own God, shall
bless us.
7 God shall bless us; and all the ends of the earth shall fear him.
96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
102:15 So the heathen shall fear the name of the LORD, and all the kings of
the earth your glory.
16 When the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come: and the people which
shall be created shall praise the LORD.
117:1 O praise the LORD, all you nations: praise him, all you people.
2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the LORD
endures for ever. Praise you the LORD.
Isa 2:1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and
Jerusalem.
2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the
LORD’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be
exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it.
3 And many people shall go and say, Come you, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us
of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth
the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and
they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning
hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they
learn war any more.
11:1 And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch
shall grow out of his roots:
2 And the spirit of the LORD shall rest on him, the spirit of wisdom and
understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and
of the fear of the LORD;
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an
ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be
glorious.
14:1 For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and
set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and
they shall join to the house of Jacob.
42:1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold; my elect, in whom my soul delights; I
have put my spirit on him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 He shall not cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the
street.
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not
quench: he shall bring forth judgment to truth.
4 He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the
earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
5 Thus said God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them
out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which comes out of it; he that
gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
6 I the LORD have called you in righteousness, and will hold your hand, and
will keep you, and give you for a covenant of the people, for a light of the
Gentiles;
7 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and
them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
49:6 And he said, It is a light thing that you should be my servant to raise
up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also
give you for a light to the Gentiles, that you may be my salvation to the
end of the earth.
7 Thus said the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom
man despises, to him whom the nation abhors, to a servant of rulers, Kings
shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is
faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose you.
8 Thus said the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard you, and in a day
of salvation have I helped you: and I will preserve you, and give you for a
covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the
desolate heritages;
55:4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and
commander to the people.
5 Behold, you shall call a nation that you know not, and nations that knew
not you shall run to you because of the LORD your God, and for the Holy One
of Israel; for he has glorified you.
65:1 I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that
sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, to a nation that was not called
by my name.
2 I have spread out my hands all the day to a rebellious people, which walks
in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts;
66:18 For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will
gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of
them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal,
and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have
seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
20 And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to the LORD out of
all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on
swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, said the LORD, as the children
of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.
21 And I will also take of them for priests and for Levites, said the LORD.
Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the
day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come to you from the ends of the earth,
and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things
wherein there is no profit.
20 Shall a man make gods to himself, and they are no gods?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them
to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD.
Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of
man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and
they brought him near before him.
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which
shall not be destroyed.
Am 9:11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is
fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins,
and I will build it as in the days of old:
12 That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which
are called by my name, said the LORD that does this.
Mic 4:1 But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain
of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains,
and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow to it.
2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go
forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off;
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into
pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more.
Zep 2:11 The LORD will be terrible to them: for he will famish all
the gods of the earth; and men shall worship him, every one from his place,
even all the isles of the heathen.
Zec 2:10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, see, I come, and
I will dwell in the middle of you, said the LORD.
11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my
people: and I will dwell in the middle of you, and you shall know that the
LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
8:20 Thus said the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there
shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21 And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go
speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go
also.
22 Yes, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts
in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23 Thus said the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that
ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take
hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we
have heard that God is with you.
14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the
nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to
worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
Mal 1:11 For from the rising of the sun even to the going down of the
same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense
shall be offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great
among the heathen, said the LORD of hosts.
