*Old
Testament Prophecies
Amos 9:11-12 “‘After these
things I will return, and I will rebuild the tabernacle of David
which has fallen, and I will rebuild its ruins, and I will restore
it, in order that the rest of mankind may seek the Lord, and all the
Gentiles
who are called by My name,’ says the Lord, who makes these things
known from of old.”
Psalm 19:4 "Their voice has
gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the
world."
Isaiah 60:3 "And nations will
come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising."
Isaiah 65:1 "I permitted
Myself to be sought by those who did not ask for Me; I permitted
Myself to be found by those who did not seek Me. I said, ‘Here am I,
here am I,’ a nation which did not call on My name."
Jeremiah 4:2 "And you will
swear, 'As Yehovah lives,' in truth, in justice, and in
righteousness; then the
nations
will bless themselves in Him, and in Him they will glory."
*Jesus
Came For The Gentiles
Matthew 12:18 “Behold, My
Servant whom I have chosen; My Beloved in whom My soul is
well-pleased;; I will put My Spirit upon Him, and He shall proclaim
justice to the
gentiles.
Acts 10:15 “What God has
cleansed, no longer consider unholy.”
Acts 10:43-44 “Of Him all the
prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in
Him receives forgiveness of sins.” While Peter was still speaking
these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening
to the message. And all the circumcised believers who had come with
Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been
poured out upon the
Gentiles
also. For they were hearing them speaking with tongues and exalting
God. Then Peter answered, “Surely no one can refuse the water for
these to be baptized who have received the Holy Spirit just as we
did, can he?”
Romans 3:29-30 “Or is God the
God of Jews only? Is He not the God of
Gentiles
also? Yes, of Gentiles also, since indeed God who will justify the
circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.”
Romans 9:24-25 “Even us, whom
He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among
Gentiles.
As he says also in Hosea, “I will call those who were not My people,
‘My people,’ and her who was not beloved, ‘beloved.’”
Ephesians 3:6 “To be
specific, that the
Gentiles
are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow
partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.”
1 Timothy 2:7 “And for this I
was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I am telling the truth, I
am not lying) as a teacher of the
Gentiles
in faith and truth.”
*God
Sent Apostles The Gentiles
Matthew 10:18 and you shall
even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a
testimony to them and to the
Gentiles.
Acts 9:15 But the Lord said
to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of Mine, to bear My name
before the
Gentiles
and kings and the sons of Israel.”
Acts 13:47 “For thus the Lord
has commanded us, ‘I have placed you as a light for the
Gentiles,
that you should bring salvation to the end of the earth.’”
Acts 14:27 And when they had
arrived and gathered the church together, they began to report all
things that God had done with them and how He had opened a door of
faith to the
Gentiles.
Acts 15:7-9 “Peter stood up
and said to them, ‘Brethren, you know that in the early days God
made a choice among you, that by my mouth the
Gentiles
should hear the word of the Gospel and believe. And God, who
knows-the-heart2589 bore witness to them, giving them the Holy
Spirit, just as He also did to us; and He made no distinction
between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.’”
Romans 1:5 “Through whom we
have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of
faith among all the
Gentiles,
for His name’s sake”
Romans 11:13 Paul wrote “But
I am speaking to you who are
Gentiles
Inasmuch then as I am an apostle of Gentiles, I magnify my
ministry.”
Romans 15:12 “And again
Isaiah says, ‘There shall come the root of Jesse, and He who arises
to rule over the
Gentiles,
In Him shall the
Gentiles
hope.’” (Isaiah 11:10)
Romans 15:15-16 “But I have
written very boldly to you on some points, so as to remind you
again, because of the grace that was given me from God, to be a
minister of Christ Jesus to the
Gentiles,
ministering as a priest the gospel of God.”
Galatians 2:7-8 “But on the
contrary, seeing that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the
uncircumcised, just as Peter had been to the circumcised (for He who
effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised
effectually worked for me also to the
Gentiles).”
*The
Gentiles Will Hope In Jesus
Isaiah 11:10 “Then it will
come about in that day that the nations will resort to the root of
Jesse, Who will stand as a signal for the peoples; and His resting
place will be glorious.” (Masseretic Text)
Isaiah 11:10 “And in that day
there shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall arise to rule over
the
Gentiles;
in Him shall the Gentiles trust, and His rest shall be glorious.”
(Greek Septuagint)
Matthew 12:21 “And in His
name the
Gentiles
will hope.”
Romans 15:12 “And again
Isaiah says, ‘There shall come the root of Jesse, and He who arises
to rule over the
Gentiles,
In Him shall the Gentiles hope.’”
*The
Church Recognized Salvation For Gentiles Also
Acts 11:15-18 “And as I began
to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, just as He did upon us at
the beginning. And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to
say, ‘John baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the
Holy Spirit.’ If God therefore gave to them the same gift as He gave
to us also after believing in the
Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God’s
way?” And when they heard this, they quieted down, and glorified
God, saying, “Well then, God has granted to the
Gentiles
also the repentance that leads to life.”
Galatians 2:9 and recognizing
the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who
were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand
of fellowship, that we might go to the
Gentiles,
and they to the circumcised.
*Jesus’
Blood Brought Salvation To The Gentiles
Ephesians 2:11-13 Therefore
remember, that formerly you, the
Gentiles
in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called
“Circumcision,” which is performed in the flesh by human
hands—remember that you were at that time separate from Christ,
excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the
covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
But now in Christ Jesus you who
formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.”
*Jesus
In The Gentiles Their Hope of Glory
Colossians 1:27 “To whom God
willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery
among the
Gentiles,
which is Christ in you, the hope
of glory.”
*What
Brings God’s Judgment Against a Nation
Psalm 9:17 (9:18)
“The wicked will return to Sheol, even all the
nations
who forget Elohim.”
