This glorious enlargement
of the scope of the promise takes away all difficulty, and fills us with
joy and praise.
The other passages that I shall quote bear the same way, but we shall
not stay to make any comment on them. I would ask you to think them over
seriously; disarm your mind as far as possible from prejudice; let the
glorious truth prevail. Ponder such passages as these:
"All the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God."
"As the new heavens and the new earth which I will make, shall remain
before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain."
"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and
the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession."
"All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the Lord."
"All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O
Lord; and shall glorify thy name."
"All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God."
"In the Lord shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall
glory."
"I will give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my
salvation unto the ends of the earth."
"His name shall endure forever; it shall be continued as long as the
sun; men shall be blessed in him, all nations shall call him blessed."
"And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for behold, I bring you good
tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
