| "It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations so that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." —Isaiah 49:6
What is it about those tribes of Jacob? What do they have to do with the whole earth? Well, Jacob had twelve sons and from each of these sons came forth a tribe, each by the name of their father. These tribes have been scattered and lost, but now they are re-emerging on the earth! This is God's doing and it is marvelous in our eyes… What is a tribe? A cluster of many households, clans, and communities, all in a designated geographic area of the earth. From these dwelling places of the tribe a light goes out to the whole tribal area. Eventually, all tribal areas will reach the remotest parts of the earth with the light of their life.
