What About Gentiles?

Recalling that a single angel of the Lord killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, I reminded myself to remain agreeable. 

Where were we? 

Me: There was Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, Solomon, Daniel...

Angel: And Matthew, Mark and Luke. Our Lord told Israelites though the Gentile: "You are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your father." Luke then reminded them what God said to Abraham, "Through your offspring all people on earth will be blessed." 

Me: (smiling) And who is the offspring of Abraham? 

Angel: (ignoring me) There was James, Peter and also John, who received the end-time revelation. Of all the spiritual truth God provided through those disciples, well after the ascension, he spoke through Paul, the former Pharisee, regarding Abraham: 

"He believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. ...those who believe are children of Abraham. Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: 'All nations will be blessed through you.' So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith. All who rely on observing the law...and do not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law..."

Me: (timidly) Sir, you don't need to say it. I know. 

to be continued
