SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 10:11 And I was told, “You must again prophesy about many peoples and nations and tongues and kings.”
Revelation (NIV) 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in midheaven, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and tongue and people;
OBSERVATION: The plan of God was to provide a sinless sacrifice that could be acceptable as payment for the sins of all who believe. It must be a sacrifice that met all the moral qualifications and fulfilled all the prophetic scriptures.
Only One sacrifice met all the requirements: Jesus.
There was/is no other sacrifices for other nations. Jesus was the one sacrifice for the world; for all who would believe. But being ONE, he came through ONE nation so much of the scriptures targets Israel.
Throughout the Old Testament we find God reaching out to other nations, but when Jesus had completed the sacrifice and had risen from the dead, we see a fresh emphasis of the gospel to all the world! Here in the last book of the Bible, we see God’s purposes and plans include “every nation and tribe and tongue and people.”
APPLICATION: This includes me, my family members, my neighbors, my fellow workers, everyone I meet every day, AND everyone who reads this SOAP.
We receive the benefit of His sacrifice by faith. We acknowledge that we have sinned and ask His sacrifice be accepted as payment for our sin. We invite Jesus to live in us as our Lord. Oh what a change that makes in our lives!
PRAYER: Lord, with a grateful heart I receive your forgiveness and dedicate my life to live each day for you. Use me today for Your glory. Amen
