Whenever the word "nations" is mentioned in the Bible, one should understand where God is coming from when He speaks of them.
The Nations of the Earth were:
- Conceived in a concerted, godless rebellion (Gen 11:1-9, Rev. 17:5, Acts 17:26).
- Born (brought forth) in divine judgment (Gen 10, 11:1-9, Rev 17:5, Acts 17:26).
- Reared (raised) in godless unbelief and ignorance (Acts 17:26 -30, Rom 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-3,11,4:17).
- Lived out in carelessness, depravity and violence (Matt 6:6, Acts 14:14-16, Rom 1:24-32, Eph. 2:11,4:17, 1 Thess. 4:5, 1 Peter 4:3, Rev 6:4-8, 13:1-10, 18:23-24).
- Terminated in vanity, wrath (judgment) and ETERNAL damnation (Psa. 2; Psa. 110; Dan. 7:43-44; Matt. 25:31-32, 41; Acts 17:31; 2 Thess. 2:7-9; 1 Peter 2:12; Rev. 16:13-16; 19:11-20; 20:7-9).
Note: Only a small remnant of all the nations - from Babel to the end of the age - will place their their faith and trust in Almighty God for salvation (Matt. 8:11, 25: 31-40, Luke 13:29, Rev. 7:13-17; 14, Isa. 60:1-3, Micah 4:1-3, Zech. 8:21-23, John 3:1:17, Rev. 21:22-27, 22:2). These (i.e., the saved of the nations) are the ones whom God foreknew while He spared the inhabitants of Babel from total destruction. In His grace and mercy He chose rather to "babble" their languages and scatter them throughout the world then a total eradicating judgment (note the commandment of Almighty God in Gen. 9:1) - Zech. 14:16; Matt. 25:31-34; Rev. 14:9-14; 21:24.
As the rebellious inhabitants of Babel were scattered across the face of the earth,they took with them the godless, “alternative reality” and philosophy of the city of Babel (Rev. 17:1-5). As time passed, the nations became immersed and cemented in their godless cultures and philosophies, and they have reaped the horrific consequences of their godless practices unto this day (Acts 17:29-31, Rom. 1:18-32).
Since Babel’s judgment some forty-two hundred years ago, people in the world today have been living in the aftermath of the “Babylonian unbelief and apostasy.” This "Babelology” of politico-religious ideology and philosophy still dominates our world today, and it has truly hampered Lucifer’s tyrannical designs for global unity, worship and creation of a global fascist state under his sole, sovereign thumb (Rev. 14:8; 17:16-17; 18:2). That is why the term "United Nations" is an abomination to Almighty God since the nations under Satan are still seeking today a godless existence apart from their ETERNAL Creator in lawlessness (Gen. 11:1-9, Dan. 2, 7, Acts 17:22-32, Rom. 1:18-32, Eph. 2:1-2, 6:12, Rev. 13). Even now, events are transpiring that will soon make Satan’s grand and diabolical design a reality (Matt 24:15,2 Thess. 2:7; 1 John 4:3, Rev. 13, 18:2).
The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!

BEEP! To me.
“When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.”
What’s that a quote from?
Deuteronomy Chapter 32
There are only 3 groups of people on the earth:
The Jews - who have a covenant with GOD
The Nations - the Unsaved (every shape, size and color)
The Church - the Christians (all who have accepted Jesus as their Savior, regardless of their denomination)
In order to get your end-time prophesy straight, you need to understand who these 3 groups are and what part they are going to play in the coming years.
Billye Brimm Ministries has a lot of really good teaching on these 3 groups.
Ok. Thanks
Indeed!
How awesome is that verse! It’s all about Israel God’s chosen!
Check out the Ignorant Fishermen Blog and let us know if we have!
7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask thy father, and he will shew thee; thy elders, and they will tell thee.
9 For the LORD'S portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
That’s right! It is all about Israel! When Israel get’s right with their Creator and receive their Lamb, the Messiah (Isa. 53, Zech. 12:10-14) then there will be world peace and then the saved of the nations will come to Jerusalem every year for a thousand years Zech. 14).. but it will take a global blood bath (Rev. 6-19) and Jacob’s trouble to do so (Jer. 30, Zech. 12:10-14).
Even so come Lord Yeshua!
