THE DESTINY OF OUR RACE  

By

Any worthwhile accomplishment requires both a purpose to be accomplished and a plan for the methods to be used. For the affairs that rule the world, Yahweh determines both the purpose and the plan. What is the purpose and destiny of our race? What is Yahweh's plan for accomplishing this purpose? We must find this in the Bible. 

Our purpose, our destiny, is to rule the world according to Yahweh's laws. It is morally wrong to try to evade this responsibility, by offering it to others to do in our place. Yahweh especially selected us for this purpose. In Deuteronomy 7:6, & 14:2 Yahweh tells us, "For thou art an holy people unto Yahweh thy God: Yahweh thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto Himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth". 

Psalm 33:12 states, "Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh; and the people whom He hath chosen for His own inheritance". In Genesis 17:7 Yahweh said, "I will establish My covenant between Me and thee, and thy seed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting covenant". Deuteronomy 10:15 continues, "Yahweh had a delight in thy fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day." 

For His purposes, Yahweh separated us from all other people. In Leviticus 20:24,26 Yahweh says, "I am Yahweh your God, which has separated you from other people And ye shall be holy unto Me; for I Yahweh am holy, and have severed you from other people that ye should be Mine." 

In Amos 3:2 Yahweh says to us, "You only have I known, of all the families of the earth". II Corinthians 6:14-18 tells us, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? Or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? Wherefore, come out from among them and be ye separate, saith Yahweh, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, and will be a father to you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters, saith Yahweh the Almighty." Since we are a people chosen and separated by Yahweh to serve Him, what are the purposes we must serve? 

Of primary importance is to rule the earth in His name. As Yahshua said in Luke 19:13, "Occupy until I come". For this, we must first break all opposition. In Jeremiah 51:20-23 Yahweh told us, "Thou art My battle axe and weapons of war: for with thee will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee will I destroy kingdoms; and with thee will I break in pieces captains and rulers". Daniel 2:44 confirms this. "And in the day of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever." 

This is still our duty, to bring peace the only way we can or should, by breaking the power of the evil nations. The New Testament didn't change this. In Matthew 10:34 Yahshua said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." Yahshua also told His disciples in Luke 22:36, "He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."  

Yahweh's purposes cannot be left to the mercy of people like Brezhnev, Mao Tse Tung and Castro. There must be conflict between good and evil until good conquers. 

Then what are we to use this power for? To colonize. In Isaiah 54:2-3 Yahweh told us, "Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations; spare not, lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the nations". Genesis 28:14 states, "And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east, and to the north and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed." 

Never be ashamed of colonialism. It brought the backward nations the only civilization they ever had, the greatest freedom also. When we abandon the Congolese to savage anarchy that is not setting them free. Cuba had more freedom during our brief rule than they have now under Fidel Castro. 

Having broken all the opposition and colonized, what should we do then? Rule the earth, under Yahweh's laws. Yahweh's purpose is proclaimed equally in the first book of the Bible, and in the last. Genesis 27:28-29 tells us, "Let people serve thee and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee: cursed be everyone that curseth thee and blessed be he that blesseth thee." 

Revelation 1:4-6 states, "Grace be unto you, and peace, from Him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven spirits which are before His throne; And from Yahshua the Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. And hath made us kings and priests unto Yahshua and His Father." 

When we have taken possession of the world, for what purposes shall we rule it? To civilize the backward races and educate them, to teach them of Yahweh and His laws. Isaiah 43:10-12 tells us, "Ye are My witnesses, saith Yahweh, and My servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe Me. I, even I, am Yahweh; and beside Me there is no savior. I have declared, and have saved, and I have showed, when there was no strange god among you: Therefore, ye are My witnesses, saith Yahweh, that I am God." 

Deuteronomy 4:7-8 goes on to say, "For what nation is there so great, who hath Yahweh so nigh unto them as Yahweh our God is in all things that we call upon Him for? And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law which I set before you this day?" 

When we do this, we shall not only be kings, but also priests before Yahweh. Isaiah 61:6 tells us, "But ye shall be named the priests of Yahweh: men shall call you the ministers of our God: ye shall eat the riches of the nations, and in their glory shall ye boast yourselves." 

What greater reward could we have than to function as Yahweh's witnesses, that He alone is God, and all pagan religions are false. We will be serving before Him as kings and priests over the whole earth. Yet we have been despising all this, casting it away. We have been offering this prize to those very nations whom Yahweh has rejected, telling them to do this job instead of ourselves. 

Before Yahweh punishes us for our disobedience, let's get back on the job. Let's fulfill the destiny marked out for our race and our nation by Yahweh. We must do this work either as slaves under the lash, or as willing partners with Yahweh in establishing His rule over the earth.
