1 Kings 8:41–42, 60

"'In the future, foreigners who do not belong to your people Israel will hear of you. They will come from distant lands because of your name, for they will hear of your great name and your strong hand and your powerful arm. … Then people all over the earth will know that the LORD alone is God and there is no other.'"

Even at this point in Israel's history, Solomon foresees that God has a big plan, not just for Israel but for the whole world. All the nations will fear God and know him as he truly is. This has been God's plan from the beginning, throughout Israel's history, and now through what he's doing in the church. The culmination will be all tribes and peoples worshiping the Lamb of God around the throne of heaven. This is God's passion. Is it yours?
