All Peoples and Languages Will Be Present in God’s Kingdom

The people of Israel have a special place in the Bible. God made a covenant with their forefather Abraham, and elected this people to be His special representatives. And although they failed to fulfill their calling, many Jews were proud of being descendants of Abraham. They even tended to think that only Jews could be God’s children.

But the Bible makes clear that this is not correct. See, for example, Psalm 22:27-28 and Zechariah 2:11. Jesus Christ has come to reconcile both Jews and non-Jews with God, and to join them together into one holy church. He explicitly commissioned his disciples to spread the Gospel to the ends of the earth, and to make disciples of all nations. And indeed it has happened; nowadays there are Christians all around the globe!

In Revelation 7, we get a glimpse of heaven. There is a great multitude from every nation, from all tribes and peoples. They are in God’s presence in eternal bliss. That’s how God wants it to be. He does not favor certain nations or peoples; He desires all people to be saved.

Do you enjoy the rich diversity of the worldwide church?

Let’s read what the Bible tells us about this topic.
