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 gentile in the OT doesn't mean the same as what Paul created. It simply meant those who did not believe. Even some of the Hebrews in the OT are called "Gentiles."

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.
