A STUDY OF THE NATIONS (2 of 3)
Jesse M. Hendley
Genesis 12:2
February 1961
GOD CREATES A NEW NATION
We have learned from our previous study that all this
GATHERING TOGETHER of the entire human race today is
simply going to make for greater WORLD SIN that will
REJECT GOD AND HIS CHRIST and RECEIVE the devil's
ANTICHRIST. That is just exactly what is going to
happen. And beyond that, we have the Coming of the
Lord to destroy that ungodly thing. We learned that
the NATIONS BEGAN at the Tower of Babel (Genesis 11).
Now let's go on to Genesis 12.
In Genesis 12 we find that GOD KNOWS that the nations
are sinful, so in order to try to REDEEM the nations
of the earth, GOD CREATES A BRAND NEW NATION. Now
people will never UNDERSTAND the nations unless they
understand that God is the Governor, and that God is
doing the very best He CAN DO with perverse human
wills in SIN. So now God does a new thing: HE CREATES
A NEW NATION, and that nation is known by the name of
the Jewish people today: "ISRAEL." We read in Genesis
12 WHY God did that. He did it through Abraham. And
in Exodus 19:6 we read, "Ye shall be unto Me A HOLY
NATION." Now here is a whole GROUP of nations IN
REBELLION against God, and God scatters them over the
face of the earth. How is God going to REACH them?
Should He just clean them up entirely? Or should He
try to reach them in some way? The answer is that GOD
SEEKS TO REACH THEM. So He creates a NEW nation,
which is to be a HOLY nation.
The other nations are NOT holy. They are in SIN. Read
ancient history! Read about the people's IDOLS. Here
we are in a Christian land with Bibles in our hands,
and THE MAJORITY of Christians have never even taken
the trouble to study what God says in the Bible about
IDOLS. All in the world you have to do is get a
concordance, look up the word IDOL, and READ IT for
yourself. And you will find out that GOD HATES IDOLS,
and He cannot do anything b ...
