All the Nations of the Earth

All the nations of the earth
Shall either be blessed or cursed
According to their response to
God's promise to Abraham in
Genesis 12:1-4:
"Now the LORD said to Abram,
'Go forth from your country,
And from your relatives
And from your father's house,
To the land which I will show you;
And I will make you a great nation,
And I will bless you,
And make your name great;
And so you shall be a blessing;
And I will bless those who bless you,
And the one who curses you I will curse.
And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.'"

Some from every nation shall be
Redeemed, per Galatians 3:13-14:
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--
for it is written, 'CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE'--
in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles,
so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."
Because of the gracious mercy of God
Proved in the sacrifice of His Son,
Jesus the Christ,
All the nations of the earth
Shall be represented in
His bride and family,
For all eternity.
Psalm 22:27-28: "All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will worship before You. For the kingdom is the LORD'S and He rules over the nations"; Revelation 5:9-10: "And they sang a new song, saying, 'Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.'"
