"To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One."
In order to understand the role of nations let us first understand what God is. "He is omnipresent" so Time is zero. So is space. In short His kingdom which we call as everlasting to everlasting is in the "now". There is no comparison with our earth time. The Spirit has however set the earth time in relation to His nature,- Holiness giving us the Person of Jesus Christ. His earthly ministry makes us relate our nature in step with His nature. We shall illustrate this in terms of our heartbeats We have 60 to 100 while the heartbeats of a blue whale is 1.8 seconds. A rodent say a shrew has 1500 beats per minute. We synchronise our lives on the basis where every terrestrial creature can be set on as single standard accordingly. It is thus the Spirit has set Jesus Christ as the Way because he ascended to heaven and Jesus Christ as the truth since he came from heaven to set an example. It is thus we set Israel as an example which means nothing in terms of heaven. So when Jesus says, "But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." (Matt.15:13). Without Jesus there is no way a nation can be counted in the sight of God
"Now is the day of Salvation" is in context of the grace brought to the world by Jesus. That ye receive not the grace of God in vain.(2 Co.6:1-2) Nature of God his holiness has been revealed. That which is a quality associated with God mercy or grace is what the tern "now" represents for us. By the same token when Jesus Christ says, "Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom."( Luke 12:32), this is the everlasting kingdom revealed to Daniel in a night vision, "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away." (Dan.7:14)
The v. 14 quoted from Daniel informs us that Universalism goes with the truth Jesus Christ as the Saviour of the whole world. Salvator mundi. Whosoever approaches him is received as Jesus on the cross revealed. God called everyone but left it to his Son. There are no exceptions with the Holy One. "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him."(Dan.7:27). Both heaven and the earth as indicated by the two great lights in the everlasting covenant.
