Old Testament Psalm 21 (22), the one Christ quotes on the Cross says, “All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
For the kingdom is the LORD’s: and he is the governor among the nations.”
And what of Isaiah 11:10? “And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.”
There are many others, but these come to mind at the moment.
GLORY TO CHRIST! AMEN!
The word "nation"means just gathering of the people, a tribe (one language), and not a universal concept.
Just as the word for earth indicates a country (such as Israel), and not the whole globe.
