Exciting verses that give me goosebumps. What are yours?
Musterseed:
1 Kings 18:24…….. then you will invoke the name of your god, and I will
call upon the name of the Lord.The God who responds with fire will demonstrate
that He is the true God. All the people responded , this will be a fair test. ( NET)
Exo. 22:20…. Whoever sacrifices to any god other than the Lord shall be devoted to destruction. ( a law against apostasy)
octoberose:
Well, this is Romans 9, or part of it and I love it so much because it tells me to not doubt the sovereignty
of God. There is no point in railing against people who are deceived because God Himself has not chosen to enlighten them yet!
It does not, therefore, depend on human desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. 17 For Scripture says to Pharaoh: “I raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.”[g] 18 Therefore God has mercy on whom he wants to have mercy, and he hardens whom he wants to harden.
19 One of you will say to me: “Then why does God still blame us? For who is able to resist his will?” 20 But who are you, a human being, to talk back to God? “Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it, ‘Why did you make me like this?’”[h] 21 Does not the potter have the right to make out of the same lump of clay some pottery for special purposes and some for common use?
22 What if God, although choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath—prepared for destruction?

We also have:
Deu 28:1 ISV “Indeed, if you diligently obey the LORD your God to carry out all his commands that I’m giving you today, then the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

Just a thought that came to me. Thoughts?

This isn't about physical countries on Earth or science, technology, and sports. This is for God's Israel, his chosen, and the blessings are spiritual.
Mzantsi:
Remember we ALSO gonna inherit the PHYSICAL earth,as well as the PHYSICAL wealth of other PHYSICAL nations. We will also have a PHYSICAL country of our own IF I am interpreting this verse correctly:
Jer 23:3 (ISV) “I’ll gather the remnant of my flock from all the countries where I’ve driven them, and bring them back to their pasture where they’ll be fruitful and increase in numbers.
Then we have the wealth:
Isa 60:5 NET Then you will look and smile, you will be excited and your heart will swell with pride. For the riches of distant lands will belong to you and the WEALTH of nations will come to you.
Thoughts?
