“For I know their works and their thoughts, and the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and shall see my glory, and I will set a sign among them. And from them I will send survivors to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the coastlands far away, that have not heard my fame or seen my glory. And they shall declare my glory among the nations. And they shall bring all your brothers from all the nations as an offering to the LORD, on horses and in chariots and in litters and on mules and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, just as the Israelites bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD. And some of them also I will take for priests and for Levites, says the LORD.
“For as the new heavens and the new earth
that I make
shall remain before me, says the LORD,
so shall your offspring and your name remain.
(ESV)
—Isaiah 66:18-22
by: Katie Brown.
God preserved Israel’s line of descendants because He loved His chosen people and because through their descendants He would reveal Jesus, the Son of God. The fulfillment of the prophesies through Jesus Christ’s birth, death, and resurrection displayed God’s glory to the world and those who follow Christ will live in God’s glory in heaven forever. God’s love for the world is evident through Jesus’ sacrifice and when Jesus returns every person on earth will see God’s glory and proclaim that He is Lord. God’s people will remain at the end of the earth to praise and worship Him forever.
