The idea here presented is that the Gentiles shall eagerly seek to share the religious privileges of the Jew. This was fulfilled in Acts 13:44-52 when the Jews angrily rejected God&#8217;s Word (Acts 13:44-45) and the Gentiles gladly accepted and were obedient to God&#8217;s Word (Acts 13:48).<\/p>\n<p>Zechariah 8:18-23 is a prediction of the setting up of the Lord&#8217;s church (kingdom) and the reign of Christ over His kingdom (church) beginning at Jerusalem (Zechariah 8:22; cf.
