This gospel prophecy continues with a proclamation that the Gentles will accept the message of Jesus and the apostles. Jesus told the apostles and his other disciples to go to the ends of the earth with the proclamation of the redemption he preached. (Matthew 28:16-20; Mark 16:15-19; Luke 24:45-48; Acts 1:7-9) They did. Now I, some 2,000 years later, a gentle by-birth, believes that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God who suffered, died, was buried, and rose from the dead, and those who believe in his will have eternal life.
How is the gospel preached 1,000 years before his suffering through David and 2,000 years after his resurrection through me? The reason is in verse 28, “for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations.” What a joy to be on the side of the winning. What a Lord who does these amazing things. I will bow down before him. Though I may someday physically die and my body become the dust of the earth again, I will kneel before him at the resurrection of the dead. I cannot keep myself alive, but Jesus will keep me alive. He lives and I will live forever in him. Praise the Almighty God!
