God's Plan for His People

Throughout time, since the dawn of man, God has grown humanity. But also since the fall man has been broken. Humanity continued to be broken into two groups, the followers of God and those who didn't. God generally kept His early followers at a distance from other nations and people who would drag them to sin. We know however that Jesus came for all nations, the whole world. This included the Gentiles. This is why it is significant that the Temple that was planned under David's rule and built under Solomon's was actually built by another nation before Jesus had come to save the world. The fact that they did build the Temple is a foreshadowing that they will be excepted into the new Temple, the Heavenly Kingdom, Heaven.
