And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 7:11-12)This is the window that shows the wider participation that makes up the mission of the Lord Jesus Christ. It would seem that, this work could easily be done by an extension of the branch that started with the twelve disciples, only as stationed in Jerusalem. Well, God had a different method that was set in motion. To understand why this was done, let us review the limitation of the seed of Israel, as represented by the Jews of the Bible days.
In the seed of Israel of Jesus’ time of earthly ministration in the not fully regenerate flesh, there was a strong strain of arrogance. The arrogance was expressed as an insistence on the recognition–as bordering on praise–of their uniqueness as being from Abraham. This arrogance in Israel was in full, open display during this time, as directed toward the ministry of humility of Jesus of Nazareth.
