| David Jay Jordan's The Lord is not 'Nationalistic' The Lord is the Creator of All people not just some people and some nationalities. He created all, and you wouldn't think that would have to be said, but some are under the delusion, that the Lord has favourites and a 'chosen people'. But even way back in the beginning, The Lord choose one brother and not the other even though they came from the same family. For Abel's gift was accepted because of his good heart and Cain's was not.(Genesis 4). Why, because the Lord is not a respector of mere birth or heritage but sees our heart's intent and our motivation. For the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart. (I Samuel 16: 7) As the Lord even told Moses about the hard hearted and cold first Children of God, .Deu 32:20 And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation, children in whom is no faith. They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation. So who is this foolish nation of outcasts that will make the original nation jealous because they have faith in the Messiah and the old nation did not. But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. (1 Corinthians 1: 25-29) So you see no flesh or heritage can glory in the presence of the Lord, it's all by our individual faith and not by what group we belong to, or what nation we are a citizen of. For again as the Lord himself said through his prophet Isaiah…. I am sought of them that asked not for me; I am found of them that sought me not: I said, Behold me, behold me, unto a nation that was not called by my name. I have spread out my hands all the day unto a rebellious people, (the old nation) which walked in a way that was not good, after their own thoughts; (65:1-2) So who shall make up this new Nation …the answer people of all nations that choose the Lord with all their heart. For doesn't it say … And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne. And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood (Jesus was slain for the sins of the world, not just for some people but all people) ……. out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation; (Revelations 5: 7-9) And therefore it is no surprise that our End-time Nation of people from every tribe, and nationality and culture and religion who choose the Lord, shall not be recognized by Israel the old nation. For didn't Isaiah also say: Isaiah 63:16 Doubtless thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, O LORD, art our father, our redeemer; thy name is from everlasting. And this is the Nation of Faith like Abraham's that will be born in a day Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the Earth be made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. (Isaiah 66:8) This is the nation of the End-Time not a nationalistic worldly nation like Israel or America, but a nation called the Bride of Christ And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, …….: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born. And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.. (That's Jesus) And the woman (The Bride of Christ) fled into the wilderness, where she hath a Place prepared of God, that they should feed her there a thousand two hundred and threescore days. (Revelations 12 : 2-6) So when does the new nation of outcasts and other sheep gather together In the End Time when we join as one in the Last Gathering and Flee into the wilderness where the Lord shall feed and protect us as His Bride and New Nation Anybody with faith from anywhere in the world can choose to be part of His New Nation. Don't you want to be part of it ? In His Love David Jay Jordan |
