The God of the Bible is National God
by Brother A. D. AJIJOLA (Bar at Law)
The God of the Bible is a National God of Israel as the Bible talks not of God but of the God of Israel.
" And David said to Abigail, blessed be the Lord God of Israel , which sent thee this day to meet me "(1 Samuel 25 : 32 )
"And also thus said the king , blessed to be the Lord God of Israel, which hath given one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it" (1 King 1: 48 )
" Blessed be the Lord God of Israel for ever and ever . And all the people said, Amen , and praised the Lord " (1 Chronicles 16 : 36 )
" And he said , Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who hath with His Hands fulfilled that which He spake with His mouth to my father David, saying ..................." (11 Chronicles 6 : 4 )
" God, the God of Israel , who only doeth wonderous things" (Psalms 72 : 18 )
Jesus regarded himself as a teacher for the Israelites. If others approached him , he would send them away. In Mathew we read :
" Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold ,a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto Him, saying , Have mercy on me, O Lord , thou son of David ; my daughter is vexed grievously with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And His disciples came and besought him, saying , Send her away ; for she creith after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him ,saying Lord , help me. But he answered and said , It is not meet to take the children's bread ,and to cast it to dogs " (Mathew 15: 21 - 26 )
The Prophets of the Old Testament only addressed their teachings to the sons of Israel.
