Great was the vict'ry of his death,
His throne exalted high;
And all the kindreds of the earth
Shall worship or shall die.
A num'rous offspring must arise
From his expiring groans;
They shall be reckoned in his eyes
For daughters and for sons.
The meek and humble souls shall see
His table richly spread;
And all that seek the Lord shall be
With joys immortal fed.
The isles shall know the righteousness
Of our incarnate God,
And nations yet unborn profess
Salvation in his blood.
— Isaac Watts, Psalm 22
Everyone must kiss the Son or kiss their buns goodbye. In Christ's death and resurrection, He laid claim to earth in its entirety. It is His and the fullness thereof, the whole world and those who dwell therein.
Christ died for His covenant children, He had in mind the kids unborn to be reborn by His blood. He laid His life down for a legacy. He wanted the meek to inherit His earth. So, He made His last will and testament, and died to secure it. He purchased their heirlooms with His last breath. He went to the grave for those yet to come and rose again to usher in a new earth for them to play in.
There are nations and generations who do not know the Lord.... yet. Some have not yet been born, but many of them will be reborn.
