Matthew 8:11
And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
ref.- Isa 2:2,3 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Isa 11:10 - And in that day there shall be a root of Jes'se, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.
Lk 13:29 - And they shall come from the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south, and shall sit down in the kingdom of God.
This is not a promise that we wait for, it is a promise that has been given! This is not a prophecy of warning, it is a prophecy that has been, and is being fulfilled still today! We are in the end times, we are nearing the second coming of Christ! We have been given this opportunity that others have passed by! The Church is our mountain! Zion is our deliverer and the word of God is coming from our Jerusalem! That being the words, teachings, an prophecies of Jesus Christ! Many misuse this scripture in trying to threaten that what God has given us will be taken away and given to someone else, but Christ has been given to us because his gospel was already taken away from someone else. Don't you see, Brothers and Sisters? We are those people from the east and west and the north and south! We are the nations that are flowing into the house of the Lord! Today is our day, and the time is now to worship and praise our mighty Lord on high!! Glory to God in the highest!! Now is our time to be taught of HIS ways and to walk in HIS paths! That representative of the people, that perfect example, has been given us. By faith we can see and hear the word of God and know what it is that he will have us to do! Follow Jesus!! Our time is short and the time will soon come when there will be no more room for repentance on this earth so we must gather together into the House of the Lord and seek after the guidance and understanding of the Holy Ghost that has been given us through Christ. Many are already sitting in his presence but many are still searching. Search no further than Jesus Christ! He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! His thoughts and direction will never change. His statutes and his laws will not be replaced. This being because prophecy told us so many years before he ever came. The warning is not for us today, it was for the people of Israel in that day. This beautiful salvation has been given to us and we are to learn of him and walk in his ways. The direction is clear and the teaching is simple, what we must do is be transformed by it and become the people that it was promised us we would be. Seek Him! Love Him! Follow Him! Submit to Him! Obey Him! And most of all, Believe Him!! Have a great day!!!
