1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles,
2 If ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward:
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;
6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:
Paul was one of the greatest apostles to ever walk this earth and witness for Jesus Christ. Scholars are not certain how many books of the new testament that he wrote, but if you include the book of Hebrews (they are not certain he wrote Hebrews) then that would be a total of 14 out of 27 books of the new testament. Can you imagine God choosing a man that had once beaten and abused his children to be lifted up out of darkness and shown the mystery of God's intentions toward mankind? Paul was a man of authority and God intended to use that strong will for his own good. Up until this point there was a separation between the Jews and the Gentiles. The Gentiles were not considered worthy to receive God's word. The separation of the Jews and Gentiles is thought to have started with Seth, the son of Adam, but the true separation is attributed to the calling of Abraham to be the father of God's chosen people, Israel. God called them out to be a separated people. Some scholars believe that God's intent was for them to be a nation of priests, prophets, and leaders that would be a light to the world and teach all the other nations about God and the savior he would send into the world. Somewhere along the line things changed and the world ended up with two separate peoples, the Jews, God's chosen and the Gentiles, all others. It remained this way for thousands of years until one day on the road to Damascus, God decided it was time to change things. I believe myself that God's intent was to use his chosen people to teach the world about him, not shut the rest of the world away from him.
Acts 22:17-21
17 And it came to pass, that, when I was come again to Jerusalem, even while I prayed in the temple, I was in a trance;
18 And saw him saying unto me, Make haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem: for they will not receive thy testimony concerning me.
19 And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on thee:
20 And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, and consenting unto his death, and kept the raiment of them that slew him.
21 And he said unto me, Depart: for I will send thee far hence unto the GENTILES.
We all know that the the world leaders are pushing for "One World Order", they want one church, one money, one God, but there is just "ONE PROBLEM" with what they want. "IT'S A FALSE GOD" that they expect mankind to serve. When God sent his children, Israel forth into the world he told them that they were not to bow down to false gods.
Exodus 23:24
Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.
I do not believe that God hated these other people. They were his children that had went astray like lost sheep but they had had turned so far from him that he created himself a new people with Abraham and his seed. He still loved them and if any chose to listen to his people, to live among them and come back to him, then they were welcome. That is the mystery that he showed to Paul. That he loved the Gentiles also and that he would welcome them into his fold.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
Exodus 12:49
One law shall be to him that is home born, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
I believe God had a plan for "ONE WORLD ORDER", but mankind WAS NOT AND IS NOT capable of carrying out God's plan. Mankind has created for himself too many religions that separates man from God. Mankind's idea of one world order will never work because they have pushed the "ONE TRUE GOD" out of their plan, but there will come a day that we will have a true One World Order that is led by Jesus Christ himself as Lord of Lord and King of Kings. When he comes back and sets his foot upon the Mount of Olives, then he will set up his kingdom and finally, there will be order in the world. Mankind will serve "ONE GOD" and the world will be as it should have been. Blessed be his Holy name!
