Election, Nations' ministry, and the Church


BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold : mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him : he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.  ISAIAH 42:1


 


Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion :  for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 


And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.  ZECHARIAH 2:10,11


 


This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear. 


This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers:  who received the lively oracles to give unto us :  THE ACTS 7:37,38


 


The elect of the church has different lights of ministry that manifest in this world that bear witness of the coming kingdom of Jesus Christ.  Nations' ministries, in righteousness, before the great and terrible day of the Lord, are to be rooted in the doctrine and faith of the elect.  Election flows forth from the Son, Jesus of Nazareth, as he has appointed such ministries of God's glory here on earth to the Jew first, then to the Gentile as to follow the nature and patterns of election rooted in God's covenants of promise.  Election holds to a certain degree that honours predestination and the chosen authority of God.


Nations' ministries in the age to come will flow forth from the elective remnant of each nation that either did not bow their knee to Baal or repented from such behaviour and became of the Lord's redeemed.


The church bears witness of God's covenant nature of government and authority in a manner that points towards Christ Jesus' coming kingdom.  The church is to behave in a manner that gives understanding of witness and the sojourning principles of the kingdom of God; the kingdom of the Son bears light in this present evil world that calls forth hope and glory out of darkness as to establish an elected remnant in each nation of the earth that will support righteous governing laws in the prophetic oracles of God.
