And I replied: I do not mean that. But they who persecuted Christ, and still persecute Him, and do not repent, shall not inherit anything in the holy mountain. While the nations that have believed on Him, and have repented for all the sins they have committed — they shall inherit, with all the patriarchs and the prophets and the righteous men that have been born of Israel. Even though they do not keep sabbath nor are circumcised nor keep the festivals, they shall certainly inherit the holy inheritance of God.
For God says thus by Isaiah: I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will take hold of thy hand and will strengthen thee; and I have given thee for a covenant to the race, for a light to the nations, to open the eyes of the blind, to lead out of their chains them that are bound, and them that sit in darkness out of their prison-house.
And again Lift up a banner for the nations. For behold the Lord hath made it to be heard unto the end of the earth: Say ye to the daughters of Sion: Behold, the Saviour has come to thee, having His own reward and His work wrought out by Himself. And He shall call it a holy people, redeemed by the Lord; and thou shalt be called a city sought out, and not forsaken. Who is this that cometh out of Edom, (with) the redness of His garments out of Bosra? This that is beautiful in His robe, ascending swiftly and possessing power? I recount righteousness, and judgment of salvation.
Why are Thy garments red, and Thy clothing as though from a trodden wine-press? Full of trodden grapes have I trodden the wine-press quite alone, and of the nations there was not a man with me; and I trod them down in anger, and crushed them as earth, and made their blood fall down to the earth. The day of recompense has come for them, and the year of redemption is here. And I looked and there was no helper, and I considered them and no one lent a hand; and my own arm wrought deliverance, and my anger was urgent; and I trod them down in my wrath, and let their blood fall down to the earth.
