The Shaking of Nations - A Harvest Tsunami Is On Its Way....
The Biblical Foundation for Transformation
It is always good to lay out a biblical position for a strategy that
we are challenging God’s people to implement in spreading the
gospel. Let’s begin doing that now.
From the very beginning, God told Abraham that through him
He would produce a godly nation and through that spiritual
nation all nations of the earth would be blessed (Gen.
18:18). In Gen. 35:11 the Lord again tells Abraham “ a nation
and a company of nations shall come from you, kings shall
come forth from you.” Clearly, nations have always been God’s
ultimate target.
As I have mentioned, after the time of the patriarchs came the
Old Testament prophets of Israel who began to speak of the
final “house of God” (the end time temple), into which the
nations of the earth would be gathered (Isa. 2:2; 40:5; Hag. 2:6
9). We have already discussed this at length, but I want to again
highlight the idea that all nations will be drawn to the house of
God.
The prophet Hab akkuk declared that the “knowledge of the

sea” (Hab. 2:14). This includes cities and nations. This
