3 Wherefore, go ye and preach my gospel, whether to the north or
to the south, to the east or to the west, it mattereth not, for ye
cannot go amissa.
4 Therefore, declare the things which ye have heard, and verily
believe, and aknow to be true.
Disciple's Calling
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all
things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen" ~ Matthew 28:19-20
This commandment is the general foreordinational blessing upon all who come
into discipleship of Jesus Christ, that is members of His Church. It is to
take the Gospel unto all the world, every nation, every people, every kindred,
every tongue and every soul who has ever lived upon this earth who is a
son or daughter of Adam and a spirit child of God the Father of Spirits.

3a it mattereth not, for ye cannot go
amiss The general commandment is to take the gospel of Jesus Christ
to all the world; every nation, kindred, tongue and people. When there is no
other specific foreordination other than to the end of this general command,
then indeed it 'mattereth not' for the call is unto all the world, and one
cannot 'go amiss' for the gospel must be taught and declared unto all. This
in no less of a calling, it is the same calling but without a 'specific'
assignment beyond the grand calling to all of Ephraim of the covenant to so
fulfill their responsibility under the Plan of God and to the Covenant of
Abraham. In one respect this was Jesus' own calling though he specifically
was called unto the 'Lost Tribes of Israel', Israel being sifted into all
the nations of the earth and all are the children of God, his was still
somewhat of a generalized calling.
