Hi to all , and since the beginning I have been preached to and taught the we are to go into all the world and teach all NATIONS/ETHNOS .
This has been drumed into all believers , since childhood , but what does Matt 28:19 really teach us today .
#1 , The Context in verse 16 , the command was given to the 11 disciples .
#2 , What does ETHNOS really mean ?? For it is used in many ways as we shall see !!
#3 , Did the disciples accomplished this Command which is in the Greek Imperative Mood , and we know that they DID NOT !!
#4 , The reason that it was not accomplished , is because Israel killed their MESSIAH and the Nation was set aside .
#5 , We know that Israel was set aside for many reason , does anyone see Jews preaching to Gentiles , because that is who was commanded to go and Preach to the Nations and reach WHO ??
I just have to throw this in " Does anyone on this site believe in APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION ??
Do I hear a resounding NO !!
Then why does most of so-called Christianity still believe in BAPTIMAL SUCCESSION ??
You can not separate the TWO , for they are forever LINKED forever .
Israel was set aside as referenced in Luke 13:6-9 , when Jesus ministry was cut short by His death .
#6 , Most will argue that Nations in Matt 28:19 are Gentiles , and that is not so .
#7 , Jojn 11:51 , reads " but being High Priest that year he prophesied that Jesus should DIE FOR THAT NATION/ETHNOS !!
#8 , ETHNOS in John 11:51 , does not mean Gentile , but die for the Jewish Nation/Ethnos .
#9 , Read verse 50 , " and that the whole NATION/ETHNOS perish not !!
It IT DOES NOT READ , " and that the whole GENTILES perish not , for it makes no sense , right ?
#10 , The NEAR VIEW is that Matt 28:19 has been set aside as was Jesus ministry , Temporary .
#11 , The FAR VIEW is that Matt 28:19 will be put into operation after the Body of Christ is Departed/Raptured as Rom 11:25 , says , " until the FULNESS of the Gentiles be come in ".
#12 , Then the Jews will begin to reach their fellow Jews after the departure of the Body of Christ .
ETHNOS can be translated by , Heathen , Gentile , Pagan , Nation !
