Every

Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth—to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people. Revelation 14:6

The revelation our Lord gave to John to pass along to us in these latter days takes great pains to show how the good news of Jesus goes out to everyone. Several lists start with every and have nation, tribe, tongue, and people in various configurations. And as that message does not go out in vain, we have the assurance of a psalm in Heaven that praises the Lamb of God and assures us that the redeemed are from every one of the four groups.

For You were slain,
And have redeemed us to God by Your blood
Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
  -- Revelation 5:9b

Thus we see no need for anyone from any nation, tribe, people, or tongue to look down upon any other person, for out of all of those nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues come the redeemed of the Lamb of God!

It appears almost too simple for many to grasp these days. Rejoice in the gospel of Christ!
