How does your God carry his work to the ends of the earth

Psalm 146 describes the work of the God of Jacob but this is also the job description of the Messiah
and Jesus walks into a Synagogue, opens the book and applied it to himself reading the similar Isaiah 61 chapter. The work of God is carried to the ends of the earth in the gospel, freeing, helping, feeding not merely physically but spiritually

He throws their sin into the ocean in a new exodus, he protects the unborn instead of boiling a kid in its mothers milk, he feeds those who hunger for righteousness and he cloths the naked with his righteousness and adopts the lost as his brothers and prepares a bride for himself

How does similar work in other religious view?

Jesus did feed people, but I find according to Luke 4:43 Jesus' main focus was his preaching the kingdom of God of Daniel 2:44 because that is the long-term solution and physical blessings as mentioned at Revelation 22:2.

So, besides starting his preaching campaign in the synagogue, Jesus went to the people and instructed his followers to do the same, and do it on a grand international scale as being done today - Matthew 24:14; Acts 1:8; 20:20; Acts 16:13.

Besides Jesus' ' brothers ' of Matthew 25:40 prepared as a bride for himself, Jesus also has those figurative humble 'sheep'-like people of Matthew 25:37 who Jesus' considers as righteous ones for treating his ' brothers' well.

So, to me the 'similar work' is that both Jesus' ' brothers' and the humble ' sheep ' do the 'same spiritual work' that Jesus said to do at Matthew 28:18-20,

Yet water gives life as much as mother's milk. Moreso, actually. So it's still using something that gives life to inflict death (though the food-to-be is usually dead to begin with...)

But water is not produced by the mother specifically for the child as milk is
Water represents more things and in the end it is symbolic

Less symbolic and more culturally slanderous, which the Old Testament seems fraught with. "Look how great we are, we don't do these horrible things that other people do. . "
