The Other "Gentiles"

Before closing this article we need to address how other people and other "Gentiles" be-
long in relation to the Abrahamic covenant and promises of YEHOVAH. In a sense, Yeshua died
for them also -- as John writes in his gospel:

John 3:17: "For God did not send His son into the world to condemn the world, but that
THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED."
John 4:42: "Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you
said, for we have heard for ourselves and know that this is indeed the Christ, THE SAV-
IOR OF THE WORLD."

We cannot ignore the fact that Yeshua is the savior of the "world" according to these
verses. On the other hand, Yeshua clearly stated that this world cannot receive the truth, and also
that Yeshua did not pray for this world -- as it is explained in John 14:17 and John 17:9:

John 14:17: "Even the spirit of truth, whom THE WORLD CANNOT RECEIVE, be
cause it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and
will be in you."
John 17:9: "I pray for them. I DO NOT PRAY FOR THE WORLD but for those whom
You have given me, for they are Yours."

What are we to conclude from this? Again -- the Bible has the answer! Yehovah's chosen
people (Israel) were given the Abrahamic covenant and promises of God. It is very important to
know just what was promised to Abraham and to his physical seed after him. Abraham was prom-
ised to be the father of MANY nations: "Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy
name shall be Abraham; for a father of MANY NATIONS have I made thee" (KJV). However,
there is much more! Look at these verses in Genesis --

Genesis 18:18: "Since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, AND
ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED IN HIM."
Genesis 22:18: "In your seed ALL THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH shall be blessed, be
cause you have obeyed My voice."
Genesis 26:4: "And I will make your descendants multiply as the stars of heaven; I will
give to your descendants all these lands; and in your seed ALL THE NATIONS OF THE
EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED."

These verses show that through Abraham and his seed ALL the nations of the earth would
be blessed. This truth is very important to understand! YEHOVAH will indeed "save" and restore
the world through this covenant. At the return of Yeshua (Revelation 14:14) and YEHOVAH God's
Shekinah Glory (Revelation 19) to this earth, the "restitution" of all things will take place. Eventu-
ally ALL PEOPLE AND NATIONS will truly be blessed and be restored the way YEHOVAH in-
tended all nations and all people to be. Notice Acts 3:21: "Whom heaven must receive until the
times of RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy
prophets since the world began."
