95.5 God's Chosen King

(Psalm 2)

Why do the nations plan rebellion?
Why do people make their useless plots?
Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the Lord and against the king he chose'
:Let us free ourselves from their rule, "they say; "let us throw off their control."

From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.
Then he warns them in anger and terrifies them with his fury.
"On Zion, my sacred hill," he says, "I have installed my king."

"I will announce, "says the king, "what the Lord has declared. He said to me:'You are my son; today I have become your father. Ask, and I will give you all the nations; the whole earth will be yours.
You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.'"

Now listen to this warning, you kings; learn this lesson, you rulers of the world: Serve the Lord with fear; tremble and bow down to him; or else his anger will be quickly aroused, and you will suddenly die. Happy are all who go to him for protection.

95.4 All The Nations Will Worship Jesus

(Revelation 15:1-4)

Then I saw in the sky another mysterious sight, great and amazing. There were seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last ones, because they are the final expression of God's anger.

Then I saw what looked like a sea of glass mixed with fire. I also saw those who had won the victory over the beast and its image and over the one whose name is represented by a number. They were standing by the sea of glass, holding harps that God had given them and singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb:

"Lord God Almighty, how great and wonderful are your deeds!
King of the nations, how right and true are your ways!
Who will not stand in awe of you, Lord?
Who will refuse to declare your greatness?
You alone are holy. All the nations will come and worship you, because your just actions are seen by all."

95.3 Jesus Is The Light For All The Nations

(Matthew 4:12-16)

When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee. He did not stay in Nazareth, but went to live in Capernaum, a town by lake Galilee, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, This was done to make come true what the prophet Isaiah had said, "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, on the other side of the Jordan, Galilee, land of the Gentiles! The people who live in darkness will se a great light. On those who live in the dark land of death the light will shine."

95.2 He Is The Lord Of All Nations And Will Save His People

(Isaiah 43:9-13)

"Summon the nations to come to the trial. Which of their gods can predict the future?
Which of them foretold what is happening now?
Let these gods bring in their witnesses to prove that they are right, to testify to the truth of their words.

"People of Israel, you are my witnesses; I chose you to be my servant, so that you would know me and believe in me and understand that I am the only God, 
Besides me there is no other god; there never was and never will be.

"I alone am the Lord, the only one who can save you. I predicted what would happen, and then I came to your aid. no foreign god has never done this; you are my witnesses. I am God and always will be. No one can escape from my power; no one can change what I do."

95.1 All People Shall Receive The Spirit

(Joel 2:28-32)

"Afterward I will pour out my spirit on everyone: your sons and daughters will proclaim my message; your old men will have dreams, and your young men will see visions.
All that time I will pour out my spirit even on servants, both men and women.

"I will give warnings of that day in the sky and on the earth; there will be bloodshed, fire, and clouds of smoke. The sun will be darkened, and the moon will turn red as blood before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes.
But all who ask the Lord for help will be saved. As the Lord has said, "Some in Jerusalem will escape: those whom I choose will survive.'"
