“Your eyes shall see, and you shall say, ‘The Lord is magnified beyond the border of Israel.’” Malachi 1:5

Today, Jewish people and others around the world can witness the Lord being magnified beyond Israel’s borders. Those of us who follow Jesus Christ are glorifying God, exalting His name, and welcoming the Holy Spirit’s presence. The Lord is magnified through all who live in devotion to Him by way of Jesus Christ.

The covenant God established with Abraham was that His descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky, extending beyond the Jewish nation. This lineage includes Jacob, also known as Israel, descending from Abraham and Isaac, leading to the twelve sons of Jacob/Israel who formed the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Esau was not included in this promise, although being the twin son of Jacob/Israel. As explained in Malachi 1:2-3.

Jesus Christ, from the Tribe of Judah, broadened the Lord’s presence beyond Israel’s borders by including in God’s family all who have faith in Him. Through Jesus Christ, the Lord’s promise is realized, as stated in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, so that whoever believes in Him may not perish but have eternal life.”

“For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed…And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Romans 9:6-8, Galatians 3:29

“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
