Pray the Word with David Platt is a resource from radical.net.

Isaiah chapter 66 verse 18.

God says, for I know their works and their thoughts,

and the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues,

and they shall come and see my glory. This is a picture that God gives us of where all of

history is headed toward the day when all nations and tongues shall gather together and see his glory.

It's the end of Isaiah, and it's also the end of the Bible.

This is Revelation chapter 5. This is Revelation chapter 7, a multitude that no one can count from

every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. So the whole picture here, nations and tongues all gathered

together. And Revelation 7, they they'll sing salvation belongs to our God

who sits on the throne and to the Lamb the Lamb being Jesus will see and know the glory of God all

nations and tongues so this is where all of history is headed so when we pray then we pray for the

fulfillment of that vision we pray for the glory and the grace and the salvation of God

do made known among all peoples and all nations. Not only do we pray for that, but we give toward

that end. We use our resources toward that end. We use our gifts and talents toward that end. We

use our lives toward that end. We want our lives to play

whatever part God wants us to play and seeing His grace, His glory, His salvation known among all nations

because we know that's where all of history is headed. So I want to encourage you. I mentioned at

various points in this podcast about praying for people groups, nations in the world that

have yet to hear about the name of Jesus. I want to encourage you to incorporate that into

your praying whenever possible. So today, I want to lead us to pray for the Hmong people in Vietnam,

a million and a half of them, very few of them, followers of Christ. There are just a few followers Christ among a million and a half of them, very few of them, followers of Christ.
