WHY DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE NATIONS?

[Doug]

[Matthew 28:16-20 KJV] 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, [even] unto the end of the world. Amen.

Who was present in this passage? The eleven disciples were. Jesus was speaking to them, and commanding them in saying "go ye therefore". Why would you think you were commanded this?

This passage will be fulfilled when the prophetic kingdom is established. The kingdom is the Davidic earthly kingdom, in which, believing Israel will reign with Christ a thousand years.

[Isaiah 2:2 KJV] 2 And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

There will be Gentile nations in the kingdom. These Gentile nations will be baptized and taught by the disciples.

The word "nation" comes from the Aramaic equivalent to "people", it describes various groups of people, we live in a world today of different, ethnicities- people, and we are disciples of Christ in Aramaic "followers" and we are called to preach (tell) so no one will get caught off by the term- to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ

I was asking if we should go to the nations as commanded in Matthew 28:19-20
We are commanded to make all men se
We are commanded to be ambassadors of Christ
Matthew 28 was a command to the disciples

Yes, we as followers of Christ should spread the Gospel everywhere we can, we are disciples as well, the gospel being preached did not stop with just them
