sh, from whom as concerning
the flesh He came (Rom. ix:4-5). The nations who listened to their
testimony when they appeared with the Gospel of the Kingdom, and who
believed that message, manifested their belief by treating the
messengers with kindness, giving them to eat and to drink, and clothing
them. They did what the Gentile Rahab did to the Jewish spies, the
advanceguard of the victorious host of Israel. And the other nations
who despised the final offer of God's mercy in the preaching of the
Gospel of the Kingdom showed no kindness to the Jewish messengers; and
these nations which spurned the last offer will pass away from the
earth.

What Else Converted Israel Will Do

When the Lord comes all Israel living in that day will be saved, except
the apostates (Ezekiel xx:38), those who have worshipped the Beast and
followed Anti-christ. "They shall look upon Him Whom they have
pierced, and mourn for Him" (Zech. xii:10). This converted nation will
be a kingdom of priests, and become the nucleus of that Kingdom into
which the nations converted during the Tribulation, and all nations
throughout the Millennium, will be gathered. Beautiful are the words
of Isaiah, speaking of that time (Isa. lxi:6-9): Then the Gentiles
shall come to the light which has risen among that nation, and kings to
their brightness. Read the sixtieth chapter of Isaiah. In fact the
entire prophetic Word witnesses to the fact that Israel, so long a
curse among the nations, will be a blessing to all the nations.

It seems from another passage that when the Millennium begins with the
coming of the King, that certain portions of the earth must yet be
reached, and that work is to be done among different nations to make
known the great events which have taken place. And God will use Israel
for this work. Isa. lxvi:19: "And I will set a sign among them, and I
will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul,
and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off,
that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall
declare my glory among the Gentiles." The last sentence of this
prophecy, "they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles," tells us
that they will have a work to do after His glory has been manifested.
There is another passage in Zechariah which also speaks of how they
will be used, Zech. viii:23: "Thus saith the Lord of hosts: In those
days it shall come to pass, that ten
