Foreseeing

And the words of the prophets agree with this, as it is written:

God

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.

What should we say then? Gentiles, who did not pursue righteousness, have obtained righteousness—namely the righteousness that comes from faith.

Preached

For we also have received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard did not benefit them, since they were not united with those who heard it in faith

In

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say “and to seeds,” as though referring to many, but referring to one, and to your seed,

who is Christ.

I will bless those who bless you,
I will curse those who treat you with contempt,
and all the peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.

Abraham is to become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.

And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed My command.”

I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,

Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.

The scepter will not depart from Judah
or the staff from between his feet
until He whose right it is comes

and the obedience of the peoples belongs to Him.

May the righteous flourish in his days
and prosperity abound
until the moon is no more.

Though a tenth will remain in the land,
it will be burned again.
Like the terebinth or the oak
that leaves a stump when felled,
the holy seed is the stump.

I will produce descendants from Jacob,
and heirs to My mountains from Judah;
My chosen ones will possess it,
and My servants will dwell there.

For David says of Him:

I saw the Lord ever before me;
because He is at my right hand,
I will not be shaken.

The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:

The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom
of our Lord and of His Messiah,
and He will reign forever and ever!
