Genesis 12:2 says, "I will make you into a great nation." This verse is describing Jehovah God talking with Abraham who was representing the Jewish People. Our Lord was about to describe how He will give His Covenant People the Land Of Israel.
The exact size of this land is described in Genesis 15:18 which says, "To your descendants I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates." This land would cover almost the whole Middle East. Of course, this is a future event! Currently, Israel appears to be shrinking with the events in Gaza, the Northern Borders being attacked by Hezbullah and Arabs claiming portions of Judea and Samaria. The Jews living in Israel need our prayers!
Psalm 72 Is Entitled "The Reign Of The Messiah"
Vs. 8 - "He shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the River to the end of the earth."
Vs. 9 - "Those who dwell in the wilderness will bow before Him and His enemies will lick the dust."
Vs. 10 - "The kings of Tarshish and of the isles will bring presents; the king of Sheba and Seba will offer gifts."
Vs. 11 - "Yes, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him."
Vs. 12 - "For He will deliver the needy when he cries, the poor also and him who has no helper."
Vs. 13 - "He will spare the poor and needy and will save the souls of the needy."
Vs. 14 - "He will redeem their life from oppression and violence and precious shall be their blood in His sight."
Vs. 17 - "His name shall endure forever; His name shall continue as long as the sun and men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed."
Vs. 18 - "Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who only does wondrous things!"
Vs. 19 - "And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory."
Blessings,
Frank
