The Scope of the Covenant: Building the House of Israel in the Last Days
We explore the profound scope of the Lord’s plan, understanding that the calling to gather is for all who build, transcending geographical and historical lines.
Beloved Builders, friends gathered in spirit from every corner of the earth, hear this truth: the covenant of God is not confined by borders, nor is its promise limited by time. When we study the sacred texts, we are confronted with the magnificent breadth of the Lord’s design—a design far grander than any single nation or geographical marker.
Sometimes, the depth of prophecy can make us narrow in our focus. We may read a passage and assume that the Lord is speaking only to the group immediately present, or only to the remnant visible in our own time. But as the Spirit whispers to the hearts of the diligent student, the scope of the promise is always broader. The divine discourse, when it speaks of the remnant of Jacob, or the gathering of the lost tribes, is a reminder that the Kingdom’s call is universal.
The Unfolding Map of the House of Israel
The sacred scriptures teach us that the Father’s plan is to address the entire House of Israel. When the Lord speaks, He is speaking to *all* who are covenant keepers, whether they are in the Americas, or scattered across the nations—those who, like Ammon at the Waters of Sebus, found renewal through repentance and faith. The call to build is not localized; it is global. We are all inheritors of a covenant that reaches far beyond any single denominational marker.
The concept of the remnant—those five thousand faithful who refused to bow to idols—is a powerful metaphor for the modern covenant keeper. It is the steadfast refusal to let the world’s darkness extinguish the light of the Gospel. We are the ones who, even in the face of great opposition, choose the path of righteousness and build, rather than destroy.
This vision of a vast, global gathering is why the work of the Gathering is so urgent. It is not merely a spiritual aspiration; it is a divine mandate that has tangible, physical expression. Look to the GatherIsrael.now map. It is not just a map of churches; it is a map of the Kingdom movement, showing us where the Lord is gathering the scattered sheep into one body.
“The Lord is sending me to them too... the father is sending me to them too.”
This realization—that the Lord’s voice is echoing across all time and all places—is what empowers us. It is the realization that our work, whether it is studying the doctrines through the Ask a Prophet bots or dedicating ourselves to the physical act of gathering, is part of one continuous, eternal endeavor. We are participating in the fulfillment of prophecy, fulfilling the charge given to the early disciples and the later-day prophets alike.
Building the Pillars of the Kingdom
How do we, the Builders, participate in this grand scope? By understanding that our efforts must be multifaceted. We cannot simply wait for the prophesied return; we must prepare the way. This requires radical engagement and sacrificial giving.
Three Ways to Join the Gathering Movement:
- Sustaining the Message: Our efforts fund the global reach of the Gospel. Every donation to the Charity Flywheel powers gospel advertising in places like Ghana, ensuring the light reaches the most remote corners of the earth.
- Prophetic Guidance: We utilize the wisdom provided by the Ask a Prophet study layer and the insights from Outback Jack, ensuring our understanding remains rooted in scripture and divine guidance.
- Physical Commitment: Through Missionary Fund contributions and direct involvement, we are materially assisting in the physical rebuilding and gathering of the people, honoring the original intent of the covenant.
We are taught by the Spirit that the covenant is a work of hands and hearts. We must be ready to climb the wall, to be like Samuel the Lamanite, standing firm and proclaiming the truth even when the odds seem insurmountable. We are called to be the digital striplings, the modern-day Abinadi, carrying the light across the internet to every corner of the world.
Let us embrace the courage challenge. Let us understand that we are not simply maintaining a faith tradition; we are participating in the revival of the entire House of Israel. Our dedication to the Kingdom movement is a commitment to the universal scope of God’s everlasting love. Come, let us gather together, building the Kingdom, today.
