What Old Testament prophecy showed that the nations would come to the Jews because God was with them?
Zechariah chapter 8 foretold that ten men from all the nations would take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew and say, “We will go with you,” because they knew that God was with the Jew, in the person of the King.
Les explains that once the disciples had the King and the Kingdom, they knew the Old Testament prophecies. He cites Zechariah chapter 8, where ten men of all the nations take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew and say, “We’ll go with you.” The reason given is that they know God is with you, in the person of the King. This matched Israel’s hope that the nations would come to the Jews because God was present with them through the promised King.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you.
