#674 Antidotes for Personal Unrest Amid Unfolding Events of our Day Part 3
The universality of Kingdom prophecy and prayer is also a stabilizing focus, empowering us to look beyond any irritation with politics and polarization that may enter into our thinking.
“Let men invoke his blessedness upon themselves (Tenakh)
Let all nations call him blessed…
And blessed be His glorious name forever;
And may the whole earth be filled with His glory.” Psalm 72:17-19 NASB
“But how far-reaching was the psalmist's dying intercession! How comprehensive! How sublime! "Let the whole earth be filled with his glory." It doth not exempt a single country however crushed by the foot of superstition; it doth not exclude a single nation however barbarous. For the cannibal as well as for the civilized, for all climes and races this prayer is uttered: the whole circle of the earth it encompasses, and omits no son of Adam.” Selected
The joy set before us includes the joy of healing every heart on every side of every issue since the fall of Adam. O LORD, we look forward to the complete fulfillment of “Thy Kingdom come,” when “all the kings (and all those who wielded any kind of power and authority) will bow down before You and Your Son, when all nations will serve You. Psalm 72:11; Philippians 7-11
The joy that is set before us includes “the salvation of souls,” our own personal Deliverance, and the deliverance of our Dear Spiritual Family throughout this age as well as the Deliverance of all the families of the earth. “And though you have never seen him, yet I know that you love him. At present you trust him without being able to see him, and even now he brings you a joy that words cannot express (Philipps) and full of glory, obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of souls.” NASB/Diaglott 1 Peter 1:8-9
