God’s Promises for the Nations
God promises that His salvation is for all peoples, that every nation will be blessed in Christ, and that the earth will be filled with His glory.
From His promise to Abraham, God pledged to bless every family on earth. His heart has always been for the nations, not one people only.
He promises that the gospel will reach every tribe and tongue, and that one day a countless multitude from every nation will worship before His throne.

How this points to Jesus
Jesus commanded His followers to make disciples of all nations, and He promised to be with them to the end of the age. Every promise for the nations is yes in Him, the Savior of the world. His kingdom is for people of every language, and one day all of them will sing His praise.
