The Power, The Presence, The Promise
God scatters the nations because they refuse to be a Kingdom of Priests to take His Kingdom and Garden Lifestyle to the world.
Genesis 11:1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
God gives them what they want and sets the sons of God (the watchers) over them in each nation.
Deuteronomy 32:8 When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance. BSB
God declares that He will bring them back as one people after a time of repentance
Jeremiah 31:1 At the same time, saith the LORD, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither.
9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
10 Hear the word of the LORD, O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd doth his flock.
But first, God has to find a group of people that will finally become a Kingdom of Priests that He can bring and establish the Kingdom to.
Exodus 19:4‘You have seen for yourselves what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.
5 Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.
6 And unto Me you shall be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to speak to the Israelites.”
7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.
8 And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.
Acts 2 describes the gathering of the exiled nations once again, as God promised. Here we experience The Power, The Presence, and The Promise

How did the teaching of gathering the scattered nations change your understanding of the Day of Pentecost?
It's reassuring that God has a plan from the beginning and that he doesn't give up along the way and bail on the plan. He wants to redeem mankind and he is making every effort to do so.
Why does God need a Kingdom of Priests before the Harvest begins?
The harvest needs someone to take care of it into help it fully understand and begin their walk with God in the right direction and with the right guidance. This is the responsibility of his kingdom of priests to be prepared and able to help people on their journey to understanding and…

How did the teaching of gathering the scattered nations change your understanding of the Day of Pentecost?
Well, SUDDENLY, I realized it wasn't ALL about the 120 in the Upper Room, there was so much more, a bigger purpose! God's bigger purpose was the regathering of the 70 nations. To re-gather the 70 nations God needed a 120 to speak in their language and tell of all the wonderful works of God! Come on, when you are discouraged and have turned away from God, what brings you back and turns your face towards God? It is the Word life in someone's life and their Garden experience testifying about how good God is and has been in their life. Then, yo…
This was a Pentecost like no other! From the Rooster messenger to the message that is life changing! Thank you, Bishop!
How did the teaching of gathering the scattered nations change your understanding of the Day of Pentecost? This was wow moment for me because God was showing that He gathered the nations together that He had once scattered because He had a kingdom of Priests in that place to gather them to! He had been looking for a kingdom of Priests to go into all the world since the Garden and when He had them during that time--He brought those nations to them and then thousands of people got saved in one day but that was just the tip…
This Pentecost was the most anointed Pentecost I ever experienced! Powerful and life transforming that I cannot go back to the person I was before Sunday.
How did the teaching of gathering the scattered nations change your understanding of the Day of Pentecost?
The teaching of the gathering of the scattered nations on the Day of Pentecost finally made sense as to why 70 nations were gathered there and they ALL heard the wonderful works of God in their own language. By the 120 tarrying in the upper room, God was equipping them to be the Kingdom of Priests He desired all along, Exodus 19:6. Without the equipping and us receiving the power to be a Kingdom of Priests, Go…
