The concept of
Nation is unique to God at all times. God created all of mankind to be in covenant with him. At creation He gave the creation or covenant mandate that we are to rule and fill the earth to His glory. The covenant is still binding today. The Abrahamic covenant as well as the Mosaic covenant is spiritual. The LORD has promised that the blessings of Abraham are ours in Christ (Galatians 3 & 4). The Great Commission was given in Matthew 28 to make disciples of the
Nations. I am surprised you were able to join the Puritan Board, considering you just affirmed dispensationalism.
