Psa 117:1, PRAISE THE LORD, ALL YOU GENTILES! LAUD HIM, ALL YOU PEOPLES!
The Psalmist previously called on the Jewish nation to praise the LORD, but now calls on the Gentiles to praise HIM! It was always GOD’s intention to bless the whole world, not just the Jewish nation, BUT EVERY PERSON WILLING TO HEAR THE TRUTH OF GOD’S WORD!
Gen 12:3, I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; AND IN YOU ALL THE FAMILIES OF THE EARTH SHALL BE BLESSED.”
Out of the Jewish nation came our LORD and SAVIOR JESUS the Messiah, who died on the cross for you and me!
Gal 3:8-9, And the Scripture, FORESEEING THAT GOD WOULD JUSTIFY THE GENTILES BY FAITH, preached the gospel to Abraham beforehand, saying, “IN YOU ALL THE NATIONS SHALL BE BLESSED.” SO THEN THOSE WHO ARE OF FAITH ARE BLESSED with believing Abraham.
Psa 117:2, For His merciful kindness is great TOWARD US, And the truth of the LORD endures forever. Praise the LORD!
Praise HIM you Gentiles, for the great mercy which was shown to us HIS people, maybe shown to you!
Psa 100:3-4, KNOW THAT THE LORD, HE IS GOD; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; WE ARE HIS PEOPLE AND THE SHEEP OF HIS PASTURE. ENTER INTO HIS GATES WITH THANKSGIVING, AND INTO HIS COURTS WITH PRAISE. BE THANKFUL TO HIM, AND BLESS HIS NAME.
For Christians all around the world, we rejoice over the name above all names which is JESUS, the SON of the living GOD!
Mal 1:11, For from the rising of the sun, even to its going down, MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE GENTILES; IN EVERY PLACE INCENSE SHALL BE OFFERED TO MY NAME, AND A PURE OFFERING; FOR MY NAME SHALL BE GREAT AMONG THE NATIONS,” SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.
The day is coming when ALL who worship the LORD JESUS, from every nation and tongue, will come together before the LAMB of GOD! WILL YOU BE THERE? WILL YOUR NAME BE WRITTEN IN THE LAMBS BOOK OF LIFE?
Rev 7:9, After these things I looked, and behold, A GREAT MULTITUDE WHICH NO ONE COULD NUMBER, OF ALL NATIONS, TRIBES, PEOPLES, AND TONGUES, standing before the throne and BEFORE THE LAMB, CLOTHED WITH WHITE ROBES, WITH PALM BRANCHES IN THEIR HANDS,
