Bible References

The nations

It is He who sits above the

circle of the earth,

And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

“If He should determine to do so,
If He should gather to Himself His spirit and His breath,

But the Lord is the true God;
He is the living God and the everlasting King.
At His wrath the earth quakes,
And the nations cannot endure His indignation.

The isles

Then it will happen on that day that the Lord
Will again recover the second time with His hand
The remnant of His people, who will remain,
From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath,
And from the

islands of the sea.

The coastlands have seen and are afraid;
The ends of the earth tremble;
They have drawn near and have come.

According to their deeds, so He will repay,

Wrath to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies;
To the coastlands He will make recompense.

I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations.

From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations.

Then he will turn his face to the coastlands and capture many. But a commander will put a stop to his scorn against him; moreover, he will repay him for his scorn.

The Lord will be terrifying to them, for He will starve all the gods of the earth; and all the coastlands of the nations will bow down to Him, everyone from his own place.
