Why God Put His People Together?

1. Why God put the Israelites together?

God put Abraham children together and give them his laws. He called them “Israel.” He told them to take care of the laws and true worship. (Psalm 147:​19, 20) Through the Israelites, God was coming to bless people from all over the earth.​—Read Genesis 22:18.

2. Why God put true Christian together?

The Israelites not do the thing them that God told them to do. So God stopped using them and chose the Christian congregation. (Matthew 21:43; 23:​37, 38) Today, instead of the Israelites, true Christian that witnesses for Jehovah.​—Read Acts 15:​14, 17.

Jesus put his disciples together to preach the good news all over the world, and teach people to follow him. (Matthew 10:​7, 11; 24:14; 28:19, 20) Since God will soon finish wickedness, it means, this preaching work will soon end. For the first time, God now bring plenty-plenty people together to worship him the right way. (Revelation 7:9, 10) He also put them together so that they can encourage one another.
