Episode 18: The Lamb’s Inheritance

ABOUT THE EPISODE

In Episode 17: The Lamb’s War, we talked about Psalm 2:8. It states that the nations are the Son’s inheritance and the earth His possession. Considering this passage, it is important to understand what Jesus inherited:

1. Nation in Hebrew is “goy” meaning a nation or people, body (Str. G1471 and G1465).
2. The earth is “erets” which is land, whole earth, country, territory. (Str. G776)

These passages are directly related to The Great Commission:

Matthew 28:18-20 – And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Mark 16:15 – Jesus instructs the disciples, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.”

There are two key words in these passages that are often overlooked:

1. “…all nations…” ethnos in Greek.
   1. A multitude associate with living together, a company, troop or swarm.
   2. The human race, nation, people group
2. “…all the world…” – kosmos in Greek. Here are a few of its definitions:
   1. A harmonious arrangement or constitution, order, government.
   2. The arrangement of the stars as the ornament of the heavens.
   3. The world, universe; the earth
   4. The inhabitants of the earth, men, the human race.

Who do you say that I am? Is about the revelation of the Psalm 2:8 prophecy coming to pass.

Let’s look at Mark 16:15-18 from the perspective of discipling ethos:

1. Cast out a nation’s demons
2. Speak the nation’s new tongues
3. Take up the nation’s serpents
4. Drink the nation’s deadly things
5. Lay hands on the nation’s sickness
