Zechariah 8:23 "Thus says the LORD of hosts: 'In those days ten men from every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a Jewish man, saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard [that] God [is] with you." ' "

Btw do you see Christ as a liberator of the Hebrews or of the world? I can see how the Hebrews considered themselves as the centre of existence – as all peoples probably did in those days, but is the message not greater than all that? In particular, is god speaking to everyone even us here now learning his prophecy? That is to say: ‘gods wisdom transcends tribe or creed and all individuals across time’!

In my view, any religion that follows the command of God to Love others and be in Peace and Harmony are "prophets/children" of God. This is why I find other religions beliefs so fascinating as a lot of the beliefs are also in our own Bible. I just happen to read the Bible a lot and never really grow tired of it or of trying to "Harmonize" it. We are a "type" of Isaiah in some ways and why I love reading that Book a lot. Peace.

Isaiah 49:6 And He saith, `It hath been a light thing That
thou art to Me for a servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob, And the preserved of Israel to bring back, And I have given
thee for
a light of nations, To be
My salvation unto the end of the earth.'
Christ-ians believe in the anointed one of God sent to bring Salvation and Eternal Life to the loss of the world as prophecied in the book of Malachi.
Acts 13:47 "For so
the Lord has commanded
us: 'I have set
you as a light to the Gentiles, That you should be for
salvation to the ends of the earth.'
