    Dispersion (1 of 2)

    Dispersion of Israel, as with nations before them after the great flood is how God has caused the Salvation Plan work out among nations. Sin of disobedience of man scattered them and by disobedience of Jesus Christ they shall be gathered as one. "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous." (Ro.5:18)

    History of Israel's bondage in Egypt owe to the consequences of sin. St Stephen witnessed before the Council of the Elders' to say,'And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him',(Ac.7:9). Joseph whom God had foreknown as a double for his Son had to be avenged and after leading the Israelites out of the 'iron furnace' which was Egypt God commanded them through Moses," forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'(De.17:16)

    Many Jews migrated to Egypt and took up their abode there. This migration began in the days of Solomon. These were dislocated further from Egypt and dispersion finds them taking roots along Asia Minor and beyond. There were Jews who never returned after waves of exiles under Assyrian and Babylonian captivity.

    In the larger Plan where individual salvation God had determined for his Son as the heir unto all things Imperial Rome served just as well. When Paul a Roman citizen spread the gospel of Christ he found a ready soil. As Jewish Christians were forced to flee Jerusalem due to persecution, they were able to travel to almost any part of the world and find a Jewish population and a Jewish synagogue from which to share the gospel of Christ.

    Jesus Christ before his Ascension would tell his disciple thus: "All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth./Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:"(Matt.28:18-20) "Teach ye all nations" is a commandment.
