ArmageddonIsaiah 242.1.1 Desolate(Isaiah 24:1-6)."Behold, the Lord maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down,

and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof. The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the

Lord hath spoken this word. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they havetransgressed the laws, changed the ordinances, broken the everlasting covenant. Therefore hath the curse

devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are

burned, and few men left"

3 JudgementDan 123.1.1 judgement“thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow;

the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire and its wheels were all ablaze.

10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him;

ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

11 “Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the

beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire. 12 (The other beasts had been

stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)

13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man,[a] coming with the clouds of

heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory

and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting

dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Rev 203.1.2 JudgementThe Thousand Years

20 And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great

chain. 2 He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand

years. 3 He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the

nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of

those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God.

They[a] had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their

hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life

until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy are those who share in

the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ

and will reign with him for a thousand years.

The Judgment of Satan

7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the

nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are

like the sand on the seashore. 9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of

God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. 10 And the devil, who

deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been

thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

The Judgment of the Dead

11 Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. The earth and the heavens fled from his

presence, and there was no place for them. 12 And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the

throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged

according to what they had done as recorded in the books. 13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and

death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had

done. 14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. 15

Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

5 RegatheringMustard seed, doughLuke 13

The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast

18 Then Jesus asked, “What is the kingdom of God like? What shall I compare it to? 19 It is like a mustard seed,

which a man took and planted in his garden. It grew and became a tree, and the birds perched in its branches.”

20 Again he asked, “What shall I compare the kingdom of God to? 21 It is like yeast that a woman took and

mixed into about sixty pounds*a+ of flour until it worked all through the dough.”

Elijah

5.1.1

Regathering inc neighboursJer 12

14 This is what the Lord says: “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance I gave my people

Israel, I will uproot them from their lands and I will uproot the people of Judah from among them. 15 But after

I uproot them, I will again have compassion and will bring each of them back to their own inheritance and their

own country. 16 And if they learn well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the

Lord lives’—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal—then they will be established among my

people. 17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy it,” declares the Lord.

Nile EuphratesGen 15:18 In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this

land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates." (Genesis 15:18 KJV)

Egypt Assyria5.1.2

Isaiah 17

Egypt highway assyria8 In that day five cities in Egypt will speak the language of Canaan and swear allegiance to the Lord Almighty.

One of them will be called the City of the Sun.19 In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the heart of

Egypt, and a monument to the Lord at its border. 20 It will be a sign and witness to the Lord Almighty in the

land of Egypt. When they cry out to the Lord because of their oppressors, he will send them a savior and

defender, and he will rescue them. 21 So the Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians, and in that day

they will acknowledge the Lord. They will worship with sacrifices and grain offerings; they will make vows to

the Lord and keep them. 22 The Lord will strike Egypt with a plague; he will strike them and heal them. They

will turn to the Lord, and he will respond to their pleas and heal them.23 In that day there will be a highway

from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians

will worship together. 24 In that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing[b] on the

earth. 25 The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria my handiwork, and

Israel my inheritance.”

5.1.3 Isaiah 11

Banner exiles egypt assyriaHe will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel; he will assemble the scattered people of

Judah from the four quarters of the earth. 13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish, and Judah’s enemies*d+ will be

destroyed; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim. 14 They will swoop down

on the slopes of Philistia to the west; together they will plunder the people to the east. They will subdue Edom

and Moab, and the Ammonites will be subject to them. 15 The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea;

with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams

so that anyone can cross over in sandals. 16 There will be a highway for the remnant of his people that is left

from Assyria, as there was for Israel when they came up from Egypt.




5.1.4 Isaiah 27

Egypt assyria exiles13 And in that day a great trumpet will sound. Those who were perishing in Assyria and those who were exiled

in Egypt will come and worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.

5.1.5 Micah 7

Assyria EgyptThe day for building your walls will come, the day for extending your boundaries. 12 In that day people will

come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates and from sea to sea and

from mountain to mountain.




5.1.6 bare holy armthey will see it with their own eyes. 9 Burst into songs of joy together, you ruins of Jerusalem,

for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord will lay bare his holy arm

in the sight of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

Isaiah 62

5.1.7

vindicatedThe nations will see your vindication, and all kings your glory; you will be called by a new name that the

mouth of the Lord will bestow. 3 You will be a crown of splendor in the Lord’s hand, a royal diadem in the

hand of your God. They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called

Sought After the City No Longer Deserted.

Micah 75.1.8 Nations turn fearShepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, which lives by itself in a forest,

in fertile pasturelands.[a] Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in days long ago.15 “As in the days when

you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders.16 Nations will see and be ashamed, deprived of all

their power. They will put their hands over their mouths and their ears will become deaf. 17 They will lick

dust like a snake, like creatures that crawl on the ground.They will come trembling out of their dens they will

turn in fear to the Lord our God and will be afraid of you.18 Who is a God like you,5.1.9 Zeph 3

bring homeI will rescue the lame; I will gather the exiles. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they have

suffered shame. 20 At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and

praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes[e] before your very eyes, says the Lord.

5.1.10 Isaiah 14

nations bring them homeThe Lord will have compassion on Jacob; once again he will choose Israel and will settle them in their own

land. Foreigners will join them and unite with the descendants of Jacob. 2 Nations will take them and bring

them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female

servants in the Lord’s land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.

Israel restorationIsaiah 616.1.1 strangers shepherdThey will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities

that have been devastated for generations. 5 Strangers will shepherd your flocks; foreigners will work your

fields and vineyards. 6 And you will be called priests of the Lord, you will be named ministers of our God. You

will feed on the wealth of nations, and in their riches you will boast.

6.1.2 Acknowledge as blessedInstead of your shame you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace you will rejoice in your

inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours. 8 “For I,

the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an

everlasting covenant with them. 9 Their descendants will be known among the nations and their offspring

among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the Lord has blessed.”

Psalm 146.1.3 Restores peopleOh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion! When the Lord restores his people, let Jacob rejoice and

Israel be glad!

Rebuilding

Obadiah 16.1.4 deliverersBut on Mount Zion will be deliverance it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance. 18 Jacob will be a

fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him. There will be no

survivors from Esau.” The Lord has spoken. 19 People from the Negev will occupy the mountains of Esau, and

people from the foothills will possess the land of the Philistines. They will occupy the fields of Ephraim andSamaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead. 20 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan will possess




the land as far as Zarephath; the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the towns of the

Negev. 21 Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the

Lord’s.

Nations bring

6.1.5

Isaiah 66nations come to worship“I will set a sign among them, and I will send some of those who survive to the nations—to Tarshish, to the

Libyans[b] and Lydians (famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece, and to the distant islands that have not heard

of my fame or seen my glory. They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring all your

people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in

chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring

their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels. 21 And I will select some of them

also to be priests and Levites,” says the Lord.22 “As the new heavens and the new earth that I make will

endure before me,” declares the Lord, “so will your name and descendants endure. 23 From one New Moon to

another and from one Sabbath to another, all mankind will come and bow down before me,” says the Lord. 24

“And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them

will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.”

Nations gifts6.1.6 Isaiah 18

Sudan bring giftsAt that time gifts will be brought to the Lord Almighty from a people tall and smooth-skinned, from a people

feared far and wide, an aggressive nation of strange speech, whose land is divided by rivers— the gifts will be

brought to Mount Zion, the place of the Name of the Lord Almighty.

6.1.7 Isaiah 60

Bring gifts“Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. 2 See, darkness covers the earth

and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.

3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. 4 “Lift up your eyes and look about

you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip.5 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be

brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come. 6 Herds of camels will cover your land, young

camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the

praise of the Lord. 7 All Kedar’s flocks will be gathered to you, the rams of Nebaioth will serve you; they will be

accepted as offerings on my altar, and I will adorn my glorious temple. 8 “Who are these that fly along like

clouds, like doves to their nests? 9 Surely the islands look to me; in the lead are the ships of Tarshish,[a]

bringing your children from afar, with their silver and gold, to the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of

Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor. 10 “Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings will serve

you. Though in anger I struck you, in favor I will show you compassion. 11 Your gates will always stand open,

they will never be shut, day or night, so that people may bring you the wealth of the nations— their kings led

in triumphal procession. 12 For the nation or kingdom that will not serve you will perish; it will be utterly

ruined. 13 “The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the juniper, the fir and the cypress together,

to adorn my sanctuary; and I will glorify the place for my feet. 14 The children of your oppressors will come

bowing before you; all who despise you will bow down at your feet and will call you the City of the Lord, Zion

of the Holy One of Israel 15 “Although you have been forsaken and hated, with no one traveling through,

I will make you the everlasting pride and the joy of all generations 16 You will drink the milk of nations and be

nursed at royal breasts.Then you will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of

Jacob. 17 Instead of bronze I will bring you gold, and silver in place of iron. Instead of wood I will bring you

bronze, and iron in place of stones I will make peace your governor and well-being your ruler. 18 No longer will

violence be heard in your land, nor ruin or destruction within your borders, but you will call your walls

Salvation and your gates Praise. 19 The sun will no more be your light by day, nor will the brightness of the

moon shine on you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. 20 Your sun will

never set again, and your moon will wane no more; the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your days of

sorrow will end. 21 Then all your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the

shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. 22 The least of you will become a

thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly.”




6.1.8 Psalm 68

temple giftswhy gaze in envy, you rugged mountain, at the mountain where God chooses to reign, where the Lord himself

will dwell forever? 17 The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has

come from Sinai into his sanctuary.[g] 18 When you ascended on high, you took many captives; you received

gifts from people, even from[h] the rebellious—that you,[i] Lord God, might dwell there. Because of your

temple at Jerusalem kings will bring you gifts. 30 Rebuke the beast among the reeds, the herd of bulls among

the calves of the nations. Humbled, may the beast bring bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.

31 Envoys will come from Egypt; Cush[k] will submit herself to God. 32 Sing to God, you kingdoms of the

earth, sing praise to the Lord, 33 to him who rides across the highest heavens, the ancient heavens, who

thunders with mighty voice. 34 Proclaim the power of God, whose majesty is over Israel, whose power is in the

heavens. 35 You, God, are awesome in your sanctuary; the God of Israel gives power and strength to his

people.

All world6.1.9 Isaiah 45

every knee bow“Turn to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other. 23 By myself I have

sworn, my mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked: Before me every knee will bow;

by me every tongue will swear. 24 They will say of me, ‘In the Lord alone are deliverance and strength.’” All

who have raged against him will come to him and be put to shame. 25 But all the descendants of Israel will

find deliverance in the Lord and will make their boast in him.

6.1.10 Isaiah 49

Moutains roads“They will feed beside the roads and find pasture on every barren hill. 10 They will neither hunger nor thirst,

nor will the desert heat or the sun beat down on them. He who has compassion on them will guide them and

lead them beside springs of water. 11 I will turn all my mountains into roads, and my highways will be raised

up. 12 See, they will come from afar— some from the north, some from the west, some from the region of

Aswan. (Sudan)*b+” 13 Shout for joy, you heavens; rejoice, you earth; burst into song, you mountains! For the

Lord comforts his people and will have compassion on his afflicted ones. Kings will be your foster fathers, and

their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow down before you with their faces to the ground; they will

lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the Lord; those who hope in me will not be

disappointed.” Then all mankind will know that I, the Lord, am your Savior, your Redeemer, the Mighty One of

Jacob.”

6.1.11 Isaiah 59

West revereFrom the west, people will fear the name of the Lord, and from the rising of the sun, they will revere his glory.

For he will come like a pent-up flood that the breath of the Lord drives along.*a+ 20 “The Redeemer will come

to Zion, to those in Jacob who repent of their sins,” declares the Lord.

6.1.12 Isaiah 24

Lord reign zionThey raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the Lord’s majesty. 15 Therefore in the

east give glory to the Lord; exalt the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. 16 From the

ends of the earth we hear singing: “Glory to the Righteous One.” The moon will be dismayed, the sun

ashamed; for the Lord Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders—with great

glory.

Division of landLandEzekiel 47 13 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “These are the boundaries of the land that you will divide

among the twelve tribes of Israel as their inheritance, with two portions for Joseph. 14 You are to divide it

equally among them. Because I swore with uplifted hand to give it to your ancestors, this land will become

your inheritance.7.1.1 Maps

Isaiah 347.1.2 scroll allot portion16 Look in the scroll of the Lord and read: None of these will be missing, not one will lack her mate. For it is his

mouth that has given the order, and his Spirit will gather them together. 17 He allots their portions; his hand

distributes them by measure. They will possess it forever and dwell there from generation to generation.

7.1.3 Psalm 60

Gilead mineGod has spoken from his sanctuary: “In triumph I will parcel out Shechem and measure off the Valley of

Sukkoth. 7 Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; Ephraim is my helmet, Judah is my scepter. 8 Moab is my

washbasin, on Edom I toss my sandal; over Philistia I shout in triumph.”




Worship

TempleEzekiel 43 6 While the man was standing beside me, I heard someone speaking to me from inside the temple.

7 He said: “Son of man, this is the place of my throne and the place for the soles of my feet. This is where I will

live among the Israelites forever. The people of Israel will never again defile my holy name—neither they nor

their kings—by their prostitution and the funeral offerings[b] for their kings at their death.[c] 8 When they

placed their threshold next to my threshold and their doorposts beside my doorposts, with only a wall

between me and them, they defiled my holy name by their detestable practices. So I destroyed them in my

anger. 9 Now let them put away from me their prostitution and the funeral offerings for their kings, and I will

live among them forever. 10 “Son of man, describe the temple to the people of Israel, that they may be

ashamed of their sins. Let them consider its perfection, 11 and if they are ashamed of all they have done, make

known to them the design of the temple—its arrangement, its exits and entrances—its whole design and all its

regulations[d] and laws. Write these down before them so that they may be faithful to its design and follow all

its regulations. 12 “This is the law of the temple: All the surrounding area on top of the mountain will be most

holy. Such is the law of the temple.

Holy mountain7.1.7 Psalm 15

Live on holy mountainLord, who may dwell in your sacred tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? 2 The one whose walk is

blameless, who does what is righteous, who speaks the truth from their heart; 3 whose tongue utters no

slander who does no wrong to a neighbor, and casts no slur on others; 4 who despises a vile person but honors

those who fear the Lord; who keeps an oath even when it hurts, and does not change their mind; 5 who lends

money to the poor without interest who does not accept a bribe against the innocent. Whoever does these

things will never be shaken.7.1.8 Isaiah 2

mountian lords houseThis is what Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem: 2 In the last days the mountain of the

Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains it will be exalted above the hills, and all

nations will stream to it. 3 Many peoples will come and say, “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths.” The law will go

out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 4 He will judge between the nations and will settle

disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore. 5 Come, descendants of

Jacob, let us walk in the light of the Lord.

7.1.9 Micah 4

Mountian lords houseIn the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will

be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it. 2 Many nations will come and say, “Come, let us go

up to the mountain of the Lord, to the temple of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may

walk in his paths.” The law will go out from Zion, the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. 3 He will judge

between many peoples and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide. They will beat their swords into

plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they

train for war anymore. 4 Everyone will sit under their own vine and under their own fig tree, and no one will

make them afraid, for the Lord Almighty has spoken. 5 All the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but

we will walk in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever. The Lord’s Plan 6 “In that day,” declares the

Lord, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. 7 I will make the lame

my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and

forever.

River7.1.10 Zech 14

Living waterOn that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half of it east to the Dead Sea and half of it west to the

Mediterranean Sea, in summer and in winter. 9 The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there

will be one Lord, and his name the only name. 10 The whole land, from Geba to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem,

will become like the Arabah. But Jerusalem will be raised up high from the Benjamin Gate to the site of the

First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses, and will remain in its

place. 11 It will be inhabited; never again will it be destroyed. Jerusalem will be secure.

7.1.11 Ezek 47

RiverEzekiel 47 The man brought me back to the entrance to the temple, and I saw water coming out from under

the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was coming down from

under the south side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He then brought me out through the north gate and

led me around the outside to the outer gate facing east, and the water was trickling from the south side.

Eden restoredEden Restored 22 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the

throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river

stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are

for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in

the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will

give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever. Epilogue: Invitation and Warning 12 “Look, I am coming

soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. 13 I am the

Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. 14 “Blessed are those who wash their

robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside

are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone

who loves and practices falsehood.

shelter stormIn that day the Branch of the Lord will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land will be the pride and

glory of the survivors in Israel. 3 Those who are left in Zion, who remain in Jerusalem, will be called holy, all

who are recorded among the living in Jerusalem. 4 The Lord will wash away the filth of the women of Zion; he

will cleanse the bloodstains from Jerusalem by a spirit[a] of judgment and a spirit[b] of fire. 5 Then the Lord

will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of




flaming fire by night; over everything the glory[c] will be a canopy. 6 It will be a shelter and shade from the

heat of the day, and a refuge and hiding place from the storm and rain.

7.1.15 Psalm 102

Enthroned for everYou will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to show favor to her; the appointed time has come.

14 For her stones are dear to your servants; her very dust moves them to pity. 15 The nations will fear the

name of the Lord, all the kings of the earth will revere your glory. 16 For the Lord will rebuild Zion and appear

in his glory. 17 He will respond to the prayer of the destitute; he will not despise their plea. 18 Let this be

written for a future generation, that a people not yet created may praise the Lord: 19 “The Lord looked down

from his sanctuary on high, from heaven he viewed the earth, 20 to hear the groans of the prisoners and

release those condemned to death.” 21 So the name of the Lord will be declared in Zion and his praise in

Jerusalem 22 when the peoples and the kingdoms assemble to worship the Lord.

Festivals7.1.16 Tabernacles no rain

Zech 14

Year to year worshipThe wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected—great quantities of gold and silver and clothing. 15

A similar plague will strike the horses and mules, the camels and donkeys, and all the animals in those camps.

16 Then the survivors from all the nations that have attacked Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship

the King, the Lord Almighty, and to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 17 If any of the peoples of the earth

do not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord Almighty, they will have no rain. 18 If the Egyptian

people do not go up and take part, they will have no rain. The Lord will bring on them the plague he inflicts on

the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 19 This will be the punishment of Egypt

and the punishment of all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles. 20 On that

day holy to the Lord will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the Lord’s house will

be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar. 21 Every pot in Jerusalem and Judah will be holy to the Lord

Almighty, and all who come to sacrifice will take some of the pots and cook in them. And on that day there will

no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord Almighty.

7.1.17 Passover etcEzekiel 45

21 “‘In the first month on the fourteenth day you are to observe the Passover, a festival lasting seven days,

during which you shall eat bread made without yeast. 22 On that day the prince is to provide a bull as a sin

offering for himself and for all the people of the land. 23 Every day during the seven days of the festival he is to

provide seven bulls and seven rams without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord, and a male goat for a sin

offering. 24 He is to provide as a grain offering an ephah for each bull and an ephah for each ram, along with a

hin[q] of olive oil for each ephah. 25 “‘During the seven days of the festival, which begins in the seventh month

on the fifteenth day, he is to make the same provision for sin offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings and oil.

7.1.18 One way system with prince9 “‘When the people of the land come before the Lord at the appointed festivals, whoever enters by the north

gate to worship is to go out the south gate; and whoever enters by the south gate is to go out the north gate.

No one is to return through the gate by which they entered, but each is to go out the opposite gate. 10 The

prince is to be among them, going in when they go in and going out when they go out.

7.1.19

Isaiah 25

banquet zionYou have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin, the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more; it

will never be rebuilt. 3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you; cities of ruthless nations will revere you. 4 You

have been a refuge for the poor, a refuge for the needy in their distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade

from the heat. For the breath of the ruthless is like a storm driving against a wall 5 and like the heat of the

desert. You silence the uproar of foreigners; as heat is reduced by the shadow of a cloud, so the song of the

ruthless is stilled. 6 On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a

banquet of aged wine— the best of meats and the finest of wines. 7 On this mountain he will destroy the

shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; 8 he will swallow up death forever. The

Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth.

The Lord has spoken. 9 In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.

This is the Lord, we trusted in him; let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation.”

feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him— those who cannot keep themselves

alive. 30 Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. 31 They will proclaim his

righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!

world is established, firm and secure. 2 Your throne was established long ago; you are from all eternity. 3 The

seas have lifted up, Lord, the seas have lifted up their voice; the seas have lifted up their pounding waves. 4

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea— the Lord on high is

ride forth victoriously in the cause of truth, humility and justice; let your right hand achieve awesome deeds. 5

Let your sharp arrows pierce the hearts of the king’s enemies; let the nations fall beneath your feet. 6 Your

throne, O God,[c] will last for ever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter of your kingdom. 7 You love

righteousness and hate wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by

anointing you with the oil of joy. 8 All your robes are fragrant with myrrh and aloes and cassia; from palaces

adorned with ivory the music of the strings makes you glad. 9 Daughters of kings are among your honored

women; at your right hand is the royal bride in gold of Ophir. 10 Listen, daughter, and pay careful attention

Forget your people and your father’s house. 11 Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is

your lord. 12 The city of Tyre will come with a gift,[d] people of wealth will seek your favor. 13 All glorious is

the princess within her chamber; her gown is interwoven with gold. 14 In embroidered garments she is led tothe king; her virgin companions follow her— those brought to be with her. 15 Led in with joy and gladness,

they enter the palace of the king. 16 Your sons will take the place of your fathers; you will make them princes

throughout the land.

go up— the tribes of the Lord— to praise the name of the Lord according to the statute given to Israel. 5 There

stand the thrones for judgment, the thrones of the house of David. 6 Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May

those who love you be secure. 7 May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.”

among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush[c]— and will say, ‘This one was

born in Zion.’”*d+ 5 Indeed, of Zion it will be said, “This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High

himself will establish her.” 6 The Lord will write in the register of the peoples “This one was born in Zion.” 7 As

they make music they will sing, “All my fountains are in you.”

of the Lord Almighty, in the city of our God: God makes her secure forever.[c] 9 Within your temple, O God, we

meditate on your unfailing love. 10 Like your name, O God, your praise reaches to the ends of the earth; your

right hand is filled with righteousness. 11 Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your

judgments. 12 Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, 13 consider well her ramparts, view her

citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation. 14 For this God is our God for ever and ever; he will

be our guide even to the end.

are my son; today I have become your father. 8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the endsof the earth your possession. 9 You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like




pottery.” 10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear and

celebrate his rule with trembling. 12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction,

for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

examine them. 5 The Lord examines the righteous, but the wicked, those who love violence, he hates with a

passion. 6 On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. 7 For the

Lord is righteous, he loves justice; the upright will see his face.

10.1.6 Psalm 110

my king in zionThe Lord says to my lord: “Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” 2 The Lord

will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying, “Rule in the midst of your enemies!” 3 Your troops will be

willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, your young men will come to you like dew from the

morning’s womb. 4 The Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: “You are a priest forever, in the order

of Melchizedek.” 5 The Lord is at your right hand he will crush kings on the day of his wrath. 6 He will judge

the nations, heaping up the dead and crushing the rulers of the whole earth. 7 He will drink from a brook along

the way, and so he will lift his head high.

heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory

dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed Then the sovereignty,

power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most

High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’

Righteousness10.1.10 Psalm 9

rule in righteousnessFor you have upheld my right and my cause, sitting enthroned as the righteous judge. 5 You have rebuked the

nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever. 6 Endless ruin hasovertaken my enemies, you have uprooted their cities; even the memory of them has perished. 7 The Lord

reigns forever; he has established his throne for judgment.8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the

peoples with equity. 9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who

know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. 11 Sing the praises of

the Lord, enthroned in Zion; proclaim among the nations what he has done. 12 For he who avenges blood

remembers; he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.

your horns.[c] 5 Do not lift your horns against heaven; do not speak so defiantly.’” 6 No one from the east or

the west or from the desert can exalt themselves. 7 It is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts

another. 8 In the hand of the Lord is a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices; he pours it out, and all the

wicked of the earth drink it down to its very dregs.

Lord. 5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will raise up for David*a+ a righteous Branch, a King

who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. 6 In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will

live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior. 7 “So then, the days

towns of Judah, flocks will again pass under the hand of the one who counts them,’ says the Lord 14 “‘The days

which it[c] will be called: The Lord Our Righteous Savior.’ 17 For this is what the Lord says: ‘David will never fail

before me continually to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings and to present sacrifices.’”

voice, the earth melts. 7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 8 Come and see what

the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the

earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields[d] with fire. 10 He says, “Be still, and

know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

Isaiah 2

He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their

swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against

nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

Psalm 11313.1.1 raises poor dustThe Lord is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. 5 Who is like the Lord our God, the One

who sits enthroned on high, 6 who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? 7 He raises the poor

from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; 8 he seats them with princes, with the princes of hispeople. 9 He settles the childless woman in her home as a happy mother of children.

Psalm 7213.1.2 all nations blessedEndow the king with your justice, O God, the royal son with your righteousness.2 May he judge your people in

righteousness, your afflicted ones with justice. 3 May the mountains bring prosperity to the people, the hills

the fruit of righteousness. 4 May he defend the afflicted among the people and save the children of the needy;

may he crush the oppressor. 5 May he endure[a] as long as the sun, as long as the moon, through all

generations. 6 May he be like rain falling on a mown field, like showers watering the earth. 7 In his days may

the righteous flourish and prosperity abound till the moon is no more. 8 May he rule from sea to sea and from

the River[b] to the ends of the earth. 9 May the desert tribes bow before him and his enemies lick the dust. 10

May the kings of Tarshish and of distant shores bring tribute to him. May the kings of Sheba and Seba present

him gifts. 11 May all kings bow down to him and all nations serve him. 12 For he will deliver the needy who cryout, the afflicted who have no one to help. 13 He will take pity on the weak and the needy and save the needy

from death. 14 He will rescue them from oppression and violence, for precious is their blood in his sight. 15

Long may he live! May gold from Sheba be given him. May people ever pray for him and bless him all day long.

16 May grain abound throughout the land; on the tops of the hills may it sway. May the crops flourish like

Lebanon and thrive[c] like the grass of the field. 17 May his name endure forever; may it continue as long as

the sun. Then all nations will be blessed through him,[d] and they will call him blessed.

Psalm 1013.1.3 afflictedThe Lord is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. 17 You, Lord, hear the desire of the

afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, 18 defending the fatherless and the oppressed, so

that mere earthly mortals will never again strike terror.

Isaiah 6514.1.4 Achor restingI will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen

people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. 10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and theValley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.

Leviticus 263 “‘If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, 4 I will send you rain in its season, and the

ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit. 5 Your threshing will continue until grape harvest and the

grape harvest will continue until planting, and you will eat all the food you want and live in safety in your land.

9 “‘I will look on you with favor and make you fruitful and increase your numbers, and I will keep my covenant

with you. 10 You will still be eating last year’s harvest when you will have to move it out to make room for the

new. 11 I will put my dwelling place[a] among you, and I will not abhor you. 12 I will walk among you and be

your God, and you will be my people.

PlentyJeremiah 3115.1.1 go up to zionI will build you up again, and you, Virgin Israel, will be rebuilt. Again you will take up your timbrels and go out

to dance with the joyful.5 Again you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria; the farmers will plant them

and enjoy their fruit. 6 There will be a day when watchmen cry out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Come, let us go upto Zion, to the Lord our God.’”rejoince

15.1.2 rejoice bountyThey will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion; they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord— the grain,

the new wine and the olive oil, the young of the flocks and herds. They will be like a well-watered garden, and

they will sorrow no more.13 Then young women will dance and be glad, young men and old as well. I will turn

their mourning into gladness; I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow. 14 I will satisfy the priests

with abundance, and my people will be filled with my bounty,” declares the Lord.

15.1.3 sacred mountain“When I bring them back from captivity,*c+ the people in the land of Judah and in its towns will once again use

these words: ‘The Lord bless you, you prosperous city, you sacred mountain.’ 24 People will live together in

Judah and all its towns—farmers and those who move about with their flocks. 25 I will refresh the weary and

satisfy the faint.” 15.1.4 new covenant“I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. 34

me, from the least of them to the greatest,” declares the Lord. “For I will forgive their wickedness and will

remember their sins no more.”

15.1.5 rebuilt38 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when this city will be rebuilt for me from the Tower of Hananel

to the Corner Gate. 39 The measuring line will stretch from there straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to

Goah. 40 The whole valley where dead bodies and ashes are thrown, and all the terraces out to the Kidron

Valley on the east as far as the corner of the Horse Gate, will be holy to the Lord. The city will never again be

uprooted or demolished.”

Amos 915.1.6 reaper overtake sower11 “In that day “I will restore David’s fallen shelter— I will repair its broken walls and restore its ruins— and

will rebuild it as it used to be, 12 so that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear

my name,*e+” declares the Lord, who will do these things. 13 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,

“when the reaper will be overtaken by the plowman and the planter by the one treading grapes. New wine will

drip from the mountains and flow from all the hills, 14 and I will bring my people Israel back from exile.[f]

“They will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will

make gardens and eat their fruit. 15 I will plant Israel in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the

land I have given them,” says the Lord your God.

MusicPsalm 9816.1.1 New songSing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have worked

salvation for him. 2 The Lord has made his salvation known and revealed his righteousness to the nations. 3

He has remembered his love and his faithfulness to Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation ofour God. 4 Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into jubilant song with music; 5 make music to the

Lord with the harp, with the harp and the sound of singing, 6 with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn

shout for joy before the Lord, the King. 7 Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world, and all who live

in it. 8 Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the Lord,

for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.

Isaiah 4216.1.2 New songSing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is

in it, you islands, and all who live in them.11 Let the wilderness and its towns raise their voices; let the

settlements where Kedar lives rejoice. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them shout from the

mountaintops. 12 Let them give glory to the Lord and proclaim his praise in the islands. 13 The Lord will march

out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and willtriumph over his enemies.

Psalm 4716.1.3 God king earthClap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. 2 For the Lord Most High is awesome, the great

King over all the earth. 3 He subdued nations under us, peoples under our feet. 4 He chose our inheritance for

us, the pride of Jacob, whom he loved.[b] 5 God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the Lord amid the sounding

of trumpets.6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises.

7 For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise. 8 God reigns over the nations; God is seated

on his holy throne.9 The nobles of the nations assemble as the people of the God of Abraham, for the kings[c]

of the earth belong to God; he is greatly exalted

Isaiah 5516.1.4

led out in joyYou will go out in joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all

the trees of the field will clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thornbush will grow the juniper, and instead of

briers the myrtle will grow. This will be for the Lord’s renown, for an everlasting sign, that will endure forever.”

HealthTree of life for healingRevelation 22:2

down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve

crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Isaiah 29 17.1.1 out of the darknessIn that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will

see. 19 Once more the humble will rejoice in the Lord; the needy will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. 20 The

ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who have an eye for evil will be cut down— 21 those

who with a word make someone out to be guilty, who ensnare the defender in court and with false testimony

deprive the innocent of justice. 22 Therefore this is what the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, says to the

descendants of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed; no longer will their faces grow pale. 23 When they

see among them their children, the work of my hands, they will keep my name holy; they will acknowledge the

holiness of the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel 24 Those who are wayward in

spirit will gain understanding; those who complain will accept instruction.”

Isaiah 35

17.1.2

Eyes blind openedThe desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom. Like the crocus, 2 it will

burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy. The glory of Lebanon will be given to it, the splendor

of Carmel and Sharon; they will see the glory of the Lord, the splendor of our God. 3 Strengthen the feeble

hands, steady the knees that give way; 4 say to those with fearful hearts, “Be strong, do not fear; your God will

come, he will come with vengeance; with divine retribution he will come to save you.” 5 Then will the eyes of

the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unstopped. 6 Then will the lame leap like a deer, and the mute

tongue shout for joy. Water will gush forth in the wilderness and streams in the desert. 7 The burning sand will

become a pool, the thirsty ground bubbling springs; In the haunts where jackals once lay, grass and reeds and

papyrus will grow. 8 And a highway will be there; it will be called the Way of Holiness; it will be for those who

walk on that Way. The unclean will not journey on it; wicked fools will not go about on it. 9 No lion will be

there, nor any ravenous beast; they will not be found there. But only the redeemed will walk there, 10 and

those the Lord has rescued will return. They will enter Zion with singing; everlasting joy will crown their heads.Gladness and joy will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Isaiah 4017.1.3 eagles wingsEven youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 31 but those who hope in the Lord will

renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and

not be faint.

Long life

Isaiah 65

17 “See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they

come to mind. 18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create Jerusalem to be a delight

and its people a joy. 19 I will rejoice over Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and

of crying will be heard in it no more. 20 “Never again will there be in it an infant who lives but a few days, or an

old man who does not live out his years; the one who dies at a hundred will be thought a mere child; the one

who fails to reach[a] a hundred will be considered accursed 21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they

will plant vineyards and eat their fruit. 22 No longer will they build houses and others live in them, or plant and

others eat. For as the days of a tree, so will be the days of my people; my chosen ones will long enjoy the work

of their hands. 23 They will not labor in vain, nor will they bear children doomed to misfortune; for they will be

a people blessed by the Lord, they and their descendants with them. 24 Before they call I will answer; while

they are still speaking I will hear.

God living with his peopleI make all things newRevelation 21:3 “And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,

and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their

God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor

crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And he that sat upon thethrone said, Behold, I make all things new.

Rev 2119.1.1 New Jerusalem6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give

water without cost from the spring of the water of life. 7 Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will

be their God and they will be my children. 8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the

sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery

lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.” The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb 9 One of the seven

angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the

bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and

showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. 11 It shone with the glory of God,

and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 It had a great, high wallwith twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve

tribes of Israel. 13 There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the

west. 14 The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of

the Lamb.15 The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its

walls. 16 The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and

found it to be 12,000 stadia[c] in length, and as wide and high as it is long. 17 The angel measured the wall

using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits[d] thick.[e] 18 The wall was made of jasper, and the city of

pure gold, as pure as glass. 19 The foundations of the city walls were decorated with every kind of precious

stone. The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, 20 the fifth

onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh

jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst.[f] 21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl.

The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city,because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to

shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and

the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. 25 On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be

no night there. 26 The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. 27 Nothing impure will ever enter

it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the

Lamb’s book of life.

Drink wine new

Mark 14:25

Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in

the kingdom of God.”
