146 God’s Name Will Be Magnified Among the Gentile Nations
Verse 1
The function of God’s judgment
is to enable man to obey,
the reason for chastisement
is so man is effectively changed.
What God does is for His management,
but all that He does benefits man.
Verse 2
God wishes to make all nations
as obedient as Israel,
to make them into real men,
to gain foothold outside Israel.
This is the work of His management,
His work among Gentile nations.
Chorus
In this final era, God’s name will be
magnified among Gentile nations.
His deeds will be seen by the Gentiles,
they will call Him the Almighty on account of His deeds.
His words shall come to be, they soon shall come to be.
Verse 3
Still people don’t understand,
they don’t care about God’s management,
and they care only about
their own futures and destinations.
Despite His words, His work is ignored,
all are fixed on their destinations.
Verse 4
If things go on in this way,
then how can the work of God expand?
How will His gospel spread out?
You should know that when His work expands,
He will scatter you and He will smite,
like Jehovah smote Israel’s tribes.
Bridge
All this is to spread His gospel through earth
and to Gentile nations spread His work,
so by adults and children alike, His name can be magnified,
His holy name exalted by all nations and all tribes.
Chorus
In this final era, God’s name will be
magnified among Gentile nations.
His deeds will be seen by the Gentiles,
they will call Him the Almighty on account of His deeds.
His words shall come to be, they soon shall come to be.
Outro
God will make people know He is God of the Israelites,
He is God of all Gentiles, even the ones He’s cursed.
He’ll let people discern He is God of creation.
This is His greatest work, His purpose in the last days,
the only work to be fulfilled in the last days.
They soon shall come to be.
