1 Corin. 2:11—For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so NO ONE KNOWS THE THINGS OF GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF GOD. (12) Now we have received, NOT THE SPIRIT of THE WORLD, but THE SPIRIT who is FROM GOD, that we MIGHT KNOW the things that have been FREELY GIVEN to us by God. (13) These things we also speak, not in words, WHICH MAN’S WIDSOM TEACHES, but which THE HOLY SPIRIT TEACHES, COMPARING SPIRITUAL THINGS WITH SPIRITUAL. (14) But the NATURAL man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are FOOLISHNESS to him; nor can he know them, BECAUSE THEY ARE SPIRITUALLY DISCERNED. (15) But he who is spiritual JUDGES ALL THINGS, yet he himself is RIGHTLY JUDGED BY NO ONE. (16) For who HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD that he MAY INSTRUCT HIM? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

Romans 11:33—Oh, the depth of the riches both of THE WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE of GOD! How unsearchable are HIS JUDGMENTS and HIS WAYS past finding out! (34) “For who has known THE MIND OF THE LORD? Or who has become HIS COUNSELOR? (35) “Or who has first given to Him and it shall be repaid to him? (36) For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom BE GLORY FOREVER. AMEN.

Isaiah 40:13—Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord, or as HIS COUNSELOR has TAUGHT HIM? (14) With whom did He TAKE COUNSEL, and WHO INSTRUCTED HIM, and taught Him the path of justice? WHO TAUGHT HIM KNOWLEDGE, and showed Him THE WAY OF UNDERSTANDING? (15) Behold, THE NATIONS are as a drop in a bucket, and are counted as THE SMALL DUST ON THE BALANCE; Look, He lifts up the isles as a very LITTLE thing. Skipping ahead to verse (21) Have you NOT KNOWN? Have you NOT HEARD? Has it not been told you FROM THE BEGINNING? Have you NOT UNDERSTOOD from THE FOUNDATIONS of the earth?

(25) “To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal? Says the HOLY ONE. (26) Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by THE GREATNESS of HIS MIGHT and THE STRENGTH of HIS POWER; NOT ONE IS MISSING. (27) Why do you say, O Jacob, (Psalm 24:6-THIS is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him who seek Your face. (7) Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you EVERLASTING DOORS! And THE KING of GLORY shall come in. (8) WHO is this KING OF GLORY? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord MIGHTY IN BATTLE.)

Returning to Isaiah 40:25—And why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel: “MY WAY is hidden from the Lord, and MY JUST CLAIM IS PASSED OVER BY MY GOD?” (28) Have you NOT KNOWN? Have you NOT HEARD? The everlasting God, the Lord, THE CREATOR OF THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, neither faints NOR IS WEARY. There is NO SEARCHING of HIS UNDERSTANDING. (29) He gives POWER to THE WEAK, and TO THOSE who HAVE NO MIGHT He INCREASES STRENGTH. (30) Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, (31) but those WHO WAIT on the Lord SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGH; they shall mount up with WINGS like EAGLES, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 30:18—Therefore the Lord WILL WAIT, that He may be gracious to you; and therefore HE WILL BE EXALTED, that He may HAVE MERCY on you. For the Lord is A GOD OF JUSTICE; blessed are all those WHO WAIT FOR HIM. (19) For the people shall DWELL IN ZION at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; when He hears it, He will answer you. (20) And though the Lord gives you THE BREAD OF ADVERSITY and THE WATER of AFFLICTION, yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore, but your eyes shall see YOUR TEACHERS. (21) Your ears shall hear A WORD behind you, saying, “THIS IS THE WAY, WALK IN IT.” Whenever you turn to the RIGHT HAND or whenever you turn to the LEFT.

Job 23:3—Oh, that I knew where I might find Him that I might come to HIS SEAT! (Exodus 25:22—“And THERE I WILL MEET with you, and I will SPEAK with you FROM ABOVE THE MERCY SEAT,) (4) I would present MY CASE before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments. (5) I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me. (6) Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would TAKE NOTE OF ME. (7) THERE the upright COULD REASON WITH HIM, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge. (8) “Look, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him; (9) When He works on the LEFT HAND, I cannot behold Him; when He turns to the RIGHT HAND, I cannot see Him. (10) But He knows THE WAY THAT I TAKE; when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold. (11) My foot has held fast TO HIS STEPS; I have KEPT HIS WAY and NOT TURNED ASIDE. (12) I have not departed from the commandment of HIS LIPS; I have treasured the WORDS OF HIS MOUTH more than my necessary food. Psalm 67:1—God be MERCFUL to us and bless us, and CAUSE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON US. (2) That YOUR WAY may be KNOWN ON EARTH, YOUR SALVATION AMONG ALL NATIONS. Job 31:35—Oh, that I had one to HEAR ME! HERE IS MY MARK. Oh, that the Almighty WOULD ANSWER me, that my Prosecutor HAD WRITTEN A BOOK! (36) Surely I would CARRY IT ON MY SHOULDER, and BIND IT ON ME LIKE A CROWN;

Isaiah 49:8—Thus says the Lord: “IN AN ACCEPTABLE time I HAVE HEARD YOU, and in the day of salvation I have helped You; I will preserve You and give You AS A COVENANT to the people, TO RESTORE THE EARTH, to cause them to INHERIT the desolate heritages; (9) That You may say to the prisoners, ‘Go forth,’ to those who are in darkness, show yourselves. Psalm 111:5—He will EVER BE MINDFUL of HIS COVENANT. (6) He has DECLARED to His people THE POWER of HIS WORKS, in GIVING THEM THE HERITAGE OF THE NATIONS.

Isaiah 48:16—“Come near to Me, HEAR THIS: I have not spoken in secret FROM THE BEGINNING; from the time that it was, I WAS THERE. And now the Lord God and HIS SPIRIT have SENT Me.” (17) Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, THE HOLY ONE of Israel: “I am the Lord your God, WHO TEACHES you TO PROFIT, WHO LEADS YOU BY THE WAY you SHOULD GO. (18) Oh, that you had heeded My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river. And your righteousness like the waves of the sea. (19) YOUR DESCENDANTS also would have BEEN LIKE THE SAND; His name would not have been CUT OFF nor DESTROYED from BEFORE ME. Go forth from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldees! With a voice of singing, DECLARE, PROCLAIM THIS, utter it even TO THE END OF THE EARTH; say, “The Lord has redeemed His servant JACOB!” (21) And they DID NOT THIRST when HE LED THEM through the deserts; He caused THE WATERS to FLOW from THE ROCK for them; He also split THE ROCK, and THE WATERS GUSHED OUT.

Isaiah 44:1—Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen. (2) Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will HELP YOU: Fear not, O Jacob My servant; and you Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. (3) For I will POUR WATER on him WHO IS THIRSTY, and FLOODS on the dry ground; I WILL POUR MY SPIRIT on YOUR DESCENDANTS, and MY BLESSING on YOUR OFFSPRING; (4) They will spring up among the grass like willows by the watercourses. (5) “One will say, ‘I am the Lords;” another will call himself by the name of Jacob; another will write with his hand, ‘The Lord’s,’ and name himself by the name of Israel. (6) Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; BESIDES ME THERE IS NO GOD. (7) And who can PROCLAIM AS I DO? Then let him DECLARE IT and set it in order FOR ME, since I appointed THE ANCIENT PEOPLE. And THE THINGS THAT ARE COMING and SHALL COME, let them show these to them. (8) Do not fear, nor be afraid; have I not TOLD YOU FROM THAT TIME, and DECLARED IT? You are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Indeed there is NO OTHER ROCK; I know not one.

Isaiah 45:21—Tell and BRING FORTH YOUR CASE; Yes, let them TAKE COUNSEL together. Who has DECLARED THIS FROM ANCIENT TIME? Who has told it from that time? Have not I, the Lord? And THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BESIDES ME, a just God AND A SAVIOR; THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. (22) “LOOK TO ME, and BE SAVED, ALL YOU ENDS OF THE EARTH! For I am God, and THERE IS NO OTHER.

Isaiah 46:9—Remember the former things of old, For I am God, AND THERE IS NO OTHER; I am God, and there is none like Me, (10) DECLARING THE END FROM THE BEGINNING, and FROM ANCIENT TIMES THINGS THAT ARE NOT YET DONE, saying, MY COUNSEL SHALL STAND, and I will do all MY PLEASURE, (11) Calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes MY COUNSEL, from a far country. Indeed I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have purposed it; I will also do it. (12) Listen to Me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness; (13) I bring MY RIGHTEOUSNESS near, it shall not be far off; MY SALVATION shall not linger. And I will place SALVATION in ZION, for Israel My glory.

Psalm 2:6—“Yet I have set My King on MY HOLY HILL of ZION.” I WILL DECLARE the DECREE: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have BEGOTTEN You . (8) ASK of Me, and I will GIVE You THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE, and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for YOUR POSSESSION. Psalm 43:3—Oh, SEND out YOUR LIGHT and YOUR TRUTH! LET THEM LEAD ME; Let them bring me to YOUR HOLY HILL and to YOUR TABERNACLE.

Psalm 47:1—Oh, clap your hands, all you peoples! Shout to God with THE VOICE of TRIUMPH! (2) For the Lord Most High IS AWESOME; HE IS A GREAT KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. (3) He will SUBDUE the PEOPLES UNDER US, and THE NATIONS under our feet. (4) He will CHOOSE OUR INHERITANCE for us, the excellence of JACOB whom He loves. (5) God has GONE UP WITH A SHOUT, the Lord with THE SOUND of A TRUMPET. (6) Sing praises to God, sing praises! (7) FOR GOD IS THE KING OF ALL THE EARTH; sing praises with understanding. (8) GOD REIGNS OVER THE NATIONS; GOD SITS ON HIS HOLY THRONE. (9) The princes of the people have gathered together, THE PEOPLE OF THE GOD OF ABRAHAM. For the shields of the earth belong to God; HE IS GREATLY EXALTED. Psalm 46:10—Be still, AND KNOW that I am God; I WILL BE EXALTED among THE NATIONS, I WILL BE EXALTED IN THE EARTH!

Isaiah 2:2—Now it shall come to pass IN THE LATTER DAYS that THE MOUNTAIN of the Lord’s house shall be established ON THE TOP OF THE MOUNTAINS, and shall BE EXALTED above THE HILLS; and ALL NATIONS SHALL FLOW TO IT. (3) Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to THE MOUNTAIN of the Lord. To THE HOUSE of the God of Jacob; HE WILL TEACH US HIS WAYS, and WE SHALL WALK in HIS PATHS. For OUT OF ZION shall GO FORTH THE LAW, (The decree.) and THE WORD of THE LORD from Jerusalem. (4) He shall judge between THE NATIONS, and shall rebuke many people; they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, NEITHER SHALL THEY LEARN WAR ANYMORE. (5) O house of JACOB, COME AND LET US WALK IN THE LIGHT OF THE LORD.

Psalm 78:68—But chose the tribe of JUDAH, (Heb. 7:14—For it is evident that our Lord AROSE from JUDAH) But chose the tribe of Judah, MOUNT ZION which He loved. (69) And HE BUILT HIS SANCTUARY LIKE THE HEIGHTS LIKE THE EARTH WHICH HE HAS ESTABLISHED FORIVER. (Looking back at verse 54—And He brought them to HIS HOLY border, THIS MOUNTAIN which HIS RIGHT HAND HAD ACQUIRED.

Hebrews 12:18—For you have NOT come TO THE MOUNTAIN THAT MAY BE TOUCHED and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, (19) and the SOUND OF THE TRUMPET and the voice of words, so that those who heard it BEGGED that the word SHOULD NOT BE SPOKEN to them anymore. (20) (For they could NOT ENDURE what was commanded: And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or thrust through with an arrow.” (21) And so TERRIFYING was the sight that Moses said, I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.?) (22) But you have COME TO MOUNT ZION and to THE CITY of THE LIVING GOD, (Psalm 107:7—And He led them forth by the RIGHT WAY, that they might go to A CITY for habitation.) (Heb.11:9—By faith he (Abraham) sojourned in the LAND OF PROMISE as in a foreign country, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, THE HEIRS with him of THE SAME PROMISE; (10) for he WAITED FOR THE CITY which has foundations, WHOSE BUILDER and MAKER is GOD.) THE HEAVENLY JERUSALEM, to an innumerable company of angels, (23) to the general assembly and CHURCH of THE FIRSTBORN who are registered in heaven, to God THE JUDGE OF ALL, to THE SPIRITS of just men made perfect, (34) to JESUS THE MEDIATOR OF THE NEW COVENANT, and to THE BLOOD OF SPRINKLING that speaks better things than that of Abel. (Abel sacrificed a lamb, Jesus was the Lamb that was sacrificed.)

Hebrews 10:16—“This is THE COVENANT that I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will PUT My laws INTO THEIR HEARTS, and IN THEIR MINDS I WILL WRITE THEM,” (17) then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.” (18) Now WHERE THERE IS REMISSION OF THESE, THERE IS NO LONGER AN OFFERING FOR SIN. Heb. 8:10—“For this is THE COVENANT that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws in their mind AND WRITE THEM ON THEIR HEARTS; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. (11) “NONE OF THEM SHALL TEACH HIS NEIGHBOR and NONE HIS BROTHER, saying, ‘KNOW THE LORD, ‘for ALL SHALL KNOW ME, from the least of them to the greatest of them. (12) “For I shall BE MERCIFUL to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their lawless deeds I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE.”

2 Corin. 3:2—You are OUR ESPISTLE written IN OUR HEARTS, known and READ by ALL MEN; (3) you are manifestly an epistle of Christ, MINISTERED BY US, written NOT WITH INK but BY THE SPIRIT of THE LIVING GOD, not on tablets of stone but on TABLETS OF FLESH, that is, OF THE HEART. (4) And we have such trust through Christ toward God. (5) Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think of anything as being from ourselves, but OUR SUFFICIENCY IS FROM GOD (6) who also MADE US SUFFICIENT as MINISTERS of THE NEW COVENANT, not of the letter BUT OF THE SPIRIT; for the letter kills, but THE SPIRIT GIVES LIFE. (7) But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, (8) HOW WILL THE MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT NOT BE MORE GLORIOUS? (9) For IF THE MINISTRY OF CONDEMNATION had glory, THE MINISTRY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS exceeds much more in glory. Hebrews 9:11—But Christ came AS HIGH PRIEST of THE GOOD THINGS to COME, with THE GREATER and MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is not of this creation.

Exodus 15:17—You will bring them in and PLANT THEM IN THE MOUNTAIN of Your INHERITANCE, In THE PLACE, O Lord, which You HAVE MADE for YOUR OWN DWELLING, the SANCTUARY, O Lord, which YOUR HANDS have ESTABLISHED. (18) The Lord SHALL REIGN FOREVER, and ever. Psalm 76:2 In Salem (Perfect peace) also is HIS TABERNACLE, and HIS DWELLING in ZION.

Psalm 132:13—The Lord HAS CHOSEN ZION; He has DESIRED IT FOR HIS DWELLING PLACE; (14) THIS IS MY RESTING PLACE FOREVER. (Looking back at verse 11) The Lord has sworn IN TRUTH to DAVID; He WILL NOT TURN from it; I WILL SET UPON YOUR THRONE the fruit of your body.

Psalm 2:6—“Yet I have set My King on My HOLY HILL of ZION. (7) I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to Me, You are MY SON, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. (8) Ask of Me AND I WILL GIVE YOU THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE and THE ENDS OF THE EARTH for YOUR POSSESSION.

Luke 1:30—Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. (31) “And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS. (32) “He will be great, and will be called THE SON OF THE HIGHEST; and the Lord God will GIVE HIM THE THRONE of HIS FATHER DAVID. (33) “And He will reign over THE HOUSE OF JACOB forever, and of HIS KINGDOM there will BE NO END.” (Psalm 24:6-This is JACOB, THE GENERATION of those WHO SEEK HIM, who SEEK YOUR FACE.)

1 Chronicles 16:11—SEEK THE LORD and HIS STRENGTH; SEEK HIS FACE EVERMORE! (12) Remember HIS MARVELOUS WORKS which He has done, HIS WONDERS and THE JUDGMENTS of HIS MOUTH, (13) O seed of Israel His servant, YOU CHILDREN of JACOB, HIS CHOSEN ONES! (Matt. 22:14—“For many are called, BUT FEW are CHOSEN.’) (Isaiah 41:8—“But you, ISRAEL, are MY SERVANT, JACOB, WHOM I HAVE CHOSEN, THE DESCENDANTS of ABRAHAM MY FRIEND. (9) You whom I HAVE TAKEN FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, and called from its farthest regions, and said to you, you are My servant, I HAVE CHOSEN YOU and I have not cast you away;

Micah 7:20—You will GIVE TRUTH to JACOB and MERCY to ABRAHAM, which YOU HAVE SWORN to our fathers from days of old. Luke 1:46—And Mary said: (54) He has helped His servant Israel, IN REMEMBRANCE of HIS MERCY, (55) as He spoke to our fathers, TO ABRHAM and to HIS SEED forever.

Luke 1:67—Now his father (John’s) Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and PROPHESIED, saying: (68) “Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for He has visited and redeemed His people, (69) and HAS RAISED UP a horn OF SALVATION for us in the house of His servant David, (70) as He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets, who have been SINCE THE WORLD BEGAN, (71) that we should BE SAVED FROM OUR ENEMIES and FROM THE HAND OF ALL WHO HATE US, (72) TO PERFORM THE MERCY PROMISED TO OUR FATHERS and TO REMEMBER HIS HOLY COVENANT, (73) THE OATH WHICH HE SWORE TO OUR FATHER ABRAHAM: (74) To grant us that we BEING DELIVERED FROM THE HAND OF OUR ENEMES, might serve Him WITHOUT FEAR, (comment: Should this not tell us that HE IS GOING TO DEAL WITH THOSE TERROISTS and deliver us out of their hands?) (75) In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life. (76) And you child, will be called the prophet OF THE HIGHTEST; For you will go before THE FACE of the Lord TO PREPARE HIS WAYS, (77) TO GIVE KNOWLEDGE OF SALVATION TO HIS PEOPLE by the remission of their sins, (78) through THE TENDER MERCY of our God, with which THE DAYSPRING from on high has visited us; (79) To GIVE LIGHT to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, TO GUIDE OUR FEET INTO THE WAY OF PEACE.

Isaiah 52:7—How beautiful upon the mountains ARE THE FEET of him who brings GOOD NEWS, who PROCLAIMS PEACE, who brings GLAD TIDINGS of GOOD THINGS who PROCLAIMS SALVATION, who says TO ZION, YOUR GOD REIGNS! (8) Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, with their voices they shall sing together for they shall see eye to eye when THE LORD BRINGS BACK ZION. (9) Break forth into joy; sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem! For the Lord has comforted His people, HE HAS REDEEMED JERUSALEM. (10) The Lord has made bare His holy arm IN THE EYES OF ALL THE NATIONS; and ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH SHALL SEE THE SALVATION OF OUR GOD. (11) Depart! Depart! Go out from there, TOUCH NO UNCLEAN THING; Go out from the midst of her, BE CLEAN, you who bear the vessels of the Lord. (12) For you SHALL NOT GO OUT WITH HASTE, NOR GO BY FLIGHT; for the Lord will go before you and THE GOD OF ISRAEL WILL BE YOUR REAR GUARD.

Acts 13:32—And we DECLARE to you GLAD TIDINGS—THAT PROMISE which was made to the fathers. (33) God HAS FULFILLED this for us their children, in that HE HAS RAISED UP JESUS. As it is also written in the second Psalm: “You are MY SON, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU.’ (If we turn to the second Psalm it will continue—Ask of Me and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.)

Isaiah 40:3—The voice of one crying in the wilderness: PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD; make straight in the desert A HIGHWAY FOR OUR GOD. (4) Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; the crooked places shall be made straight, and THE ROUGH PLACES SMOOTH; (5) The GLORY of the Lord SHALL BE REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together; for THE MOUTH OF THE LORD has SPOKEN. (6) The voice said, “Cry out!” and he said, “What shall I cry?” All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. (7) The grass withers, the flower fades, BUT THE WORD OF OUR GOD STANDS FOREVER.
(9) O ZION, You who bring GOOD TIDINGS, get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, You who bring GOOD TIDINGS lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid; Say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!” (10) Behold, the Lord God SHALL COME with A STRONG HAND, and HIS ARM shall rule for Him; Behold, HIS REWARD IS WITH HIM; and HIS WORK BEFORE HIM. (11) He will feed HIS FLOCK like A SHEPHERD; He will gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them IN HIS BOSOM, and gently LEAD those who are with young.

Romans 10:15—“How beautiful are the feet of those WHO PREACH THE GOSPEL OF PEACE, WHO BRING GLAD TIDINGS OF GOOD THINGS! (16) But they have not all obeyed THE GOSPEL. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” (17) So then FAITH comes BY HEARING, and HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. (18) But I say, HAVE THEY NOT HEARD? Yes indeed: their sound has gone out to all the earth, AND THEIR WORDS TO THE ENDS OF THE WORLD.”

Psalm 19:1—The heavens declare THE GLORY of GOD; and the firmament shows His handiwork. (2) Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night REVEALS KNOWLEDGE. (3) There is no speech nor language where their voice IS NOT HEARD. (4) THEIR LINE has gone out through all the earth, and THEIR WORDS TO THE END OF THE WORLD. IN THEM HE HAS SET A TABERNACLE FOR THE SUN, (5) Which IS LIKE A BRIDEGROOM coming out of his chamber, and rejoices LIKE A STRONG MAN to run its race. (6) ITS RISING is from one end of heaven and its circuit to the other end; and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

Isaiah 59:19—So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and HIS GLORY FROM THE RISING OF THE SUN; WHEN THE ENEMY comes in like A FLOOD, THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WILL LIFT UP A STANDARD AGAINST HIM. (20) The Redeemer WILL COME TO ZION and to those who turn from transgression IN JACOB, says the Lord. (21) “As for Me, “says the Lord, THIS IS MY COVENANT with them: MY SPIRIT who is UPON you, and MY WORDS which I HAVE PUT IN YOUR MOUTH, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants nor from the mouth of your DESCENDANTS’ DESCENDANTS, says the Lord, “from THIS TIME and FOREVERMORE.

Isaiah 62:10—Go through, go through the gates! PREPARE THE WAY FOR THE PEOPLE; (11) Indeed THE LORD HAS PROCLAIMED TO THE END OF THE WORLD; ‘say to THE DAUGHTER of ZION, “Surely your salvation IS COMING; Behold, HIS REWARD is WITH HIM, and HIS WORK BEFORE HIM.” (12) And they shall call them THE HOLY PEOPLE, THE REDEEMED of the Lord; and you shall be called SOUGHT OUT, A CITY NOT FORSAKEN.

Matthew 5:14—“You ARE THE LIGHT of THE WORLD. A CITY THAT IS SET ON A HILL CANNOT BE HIDDEN. (15) “Nor do they LIGHT A LAMP and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it GIVES LIGHT TO ALL who are in the house. Isaiah 62:1—FOR ZION’S SAKE I will not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem’s sake I WILL NOT REST, until HER RIGHTEOUSNESS goes forth AS BRIGHTNESS, and HER SALVATION AS A LAMP THAT BURNS. (Not gone out, like the five foolish virgins.) (2) THE GENTILES (Anyone who is not a Jew.) shall see YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, and all kings your glory. (4) But you shall be called Hephzibah, and your land BEULAH; for the Lord DELIGHTS IN YOU, and YOUR LAND shall BE MARRIED. (5) For as a young man MARRIES A VIRGIN so shall YOUR SONS MARRY YOU. And AS THE BRIDEGROOM rejoices OVER THE BRIDE, SO SHALL YOUR GOD REJOICE OVER YOU. (6) I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall NEVER HOLD THEIR PEACE day or night. YOU WHO MAKE MENTION OF THE LORD, DO NOT KEEP SILENT, (7) AND GIVE HIM NO REST TILL HE ESTABLISHES AND TILL HE MAKES JERUSALEM A PRAISE IN THE EARTH.

Isaiah 60:1—Arise, SHINE; for YOUR LIGHT has come! And THE GLORY of the Lord is RISEN upon you. (2) For behold, THE DARKNESS SHALL COVER THE EARTH, AND DEEP DARKNESS THE PEOPLE; But the Lord WILL ARISE over you, and HIS GLORY will be seen upon you. (3) THE GENTILES shall COME TO YOUR LIGHT and kings TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF YOUR RISING. (4) “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they COME TO YOU. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side. (5) Then you shall see AND BECOME RADIENT, and YOUR HEART SHALL SWELL WITH JOY; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, THE WEALTH OF THE GENTILES shall come to you.

Isaiah 60:8—WHO are these WHO FLY LIKE A CLOUD and LIKE DOVES to their roosts? (9) Surely the coastlands SHALL WAIT for me: (Not fall off into the sea, such as San Francisco as some have predicted!) And the ships of Tarshish (hard contemplation) will come first, to bring your sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, TO THE NAME OF THE LORD YOUR GOD, and TO THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, because HE HAS GLORIFIED you. (10) “The sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you; for IN MY WRATH I struck you, but IN MY FAVOR I have had MERCY on you. (11) Therefore your gates SHALL BE OPEN CONTINUALLY; they shall NOT SHUT day or night, that men MAY BRING TO YOU THE WEALTH OF THE GENTILES, and their kings in procession. (12) For the nation and the kingdom which will not serve you shall perish, and those nations shall be utterly ruined. (13) The glory of Lebanon shall come to you. The cypress, the pine, and the box tree together, TO BEAUTIFY THE PLACE OF MY SANCTUARY; and I will make THE PLACE OF MY FEET GLORIOUS. (14) Also the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of you feet; and THEY SHALL CALL YOU THE CITY OF THE LORD, ZION OF THE HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL.

Isaiah 61:1—THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD GOD IS UPON ME, because the Lord HAS ANOINTED Me TO PREACH GOOD TIDINGS to the poor; He has sent Me TO HEAL the BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY to THE CAPTIVES, and THE OPENING of THE PRISON to those WHO ARE BOUND:
(2) To PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to COMFORT ALL who MOURN, to CONSOLE THOSE WHO MOURN in ZION, to GIVE THEM BEAUTY for ASHES, THE OIL OF JOY for MOURNING, THE GARMENT of PRAISE for THE SPIRIT of HEAVINESS; that they may be called TREES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, THE PLANTING OF THE LORD, THAT HE MAY BE GLORIFIED.

(4) And they shall rebuild the old ruins, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the ruined cities, the desolation of many generation. (5) Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers, (6) But you shall BE NAMED THE PRIESTS OF THE LORD, men shall call you THE SERVANTS OF OUR GOD. You shall eat the riches of THE GENTILES, and IN THEIR GLORY you shall boast. (7) Instead of your shame you shall have DOUBLE HONOR, and INSTEAD of CONFUSION they shall rejoice in THEIR PORTION. Therefore in their land they shall possess DOUBLE; EVERLASTING JOY shall be theirs. (8) For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery for burnt offering; I WILL DIRECT THEIR WORK IN TRUTH AND WILL MAKE WITH THEM AN EVERLASTING COVENANT. (9) THEIR DESCENDANTS SHALL BE KNOWN AMONT THE GENTILES, AND THEIR OFFSPRING AMONG THE PEOPLE. All who see them shall acknowledge the, THAT THEY ARE THE POSTERITY WHOM THE LORD HAS BLESSED. (10) I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, My soul shall be joyful in my God; For HE HAS CLOTHED ME WITH THE GARMENTS OF SALVATION, HE HAS COVERED ME WITH THE ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AS A BRIDEGROOM DECKS HIMSELF WITH ORNAMENTS and AS A BRIDE ADORNS HERSELF WITH HER JEWELS. (11) For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth, SO THE LORD GOD WILL CAUSE RIGHTEOUSNESS and PRAISE TO SPRING FORTH BEFORE ALL THE NATIONS.

Romans 10:1—Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they MAY BE SAVED. (2) For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, BUT NOT ACCORDING TO KNOWLEDGE. (3) For they being ignorant OF GOD’S RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SEEKING TO ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, HAVE NOT SUBMITTED to THE RIGHTEOUSNESS of GOD. (4) For Christ is the end of the law FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS to everyone who believes. (Matt. 6:33—“But SEEK FIRST the kingdom of God AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.)

Isaiah 42:5—I, the Lord, have called You IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You AND GIVE YOU AS A COVENANT to the people, AS A LIGHT to THE GENTILES, (7) To OPEN BLIND EYES, to BRING OUT PRISONERS from THE PRISON, those who sit in darkness FROM THE PRISON HOUSE. (8) I am the Lord, that is My name; and MY GLORY I will not give to another, nor MY PRAISE to graven images. (9) Behold, the former things have come to pass, AND NEW THINGS I DECLARE; BEFORE THEY SPRING FORTH I TELL YOU OF THEM.”

Isaiah 43:18—Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. (19) Behold, I WILL DO A NEW THING, NOW IT SHALL SPRING FORTH; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and RIVERS in the desert. (20) THE BEAST of THE FIELD will HONOR ME, The jackals and the ostriches, because I GIVE WATERS in the wilderness and RIVERS in the desert, to give DRINK to MY PEOPLE, MY CHOSEN. (21) THIS PEOPLE I HAVE FORMED FOR MYSELF; THEY SHALL DECLARE MY PRAISE.

Isaiah 49:8—I will preserve You and GIVE YOU as A COVENANT to the people, TO RESTORE THE EARTH, to cause them TO INHERIT the desolate heritages; (9) That You may SAY TO THE PRISONERS, ‘GO FORTH,’ to those who are IN DARKNESS, ‘SHOW YOURSELVES.’ They shall feed along the roads, and their pastures shall be on all desolate heights. (19) They shall NEITHER HUNGER nor THIRST, (Matt. 5:6—Blessed are those WHO HUNGER and THIRST for RIGHTEOUSNESS, for THEY SHALL BE FILLED.) Neither heat nor sun shall strike them: (Psalm 121:5—The Lord is YOUR KEEPER; the Lord IS YOUR SHADE at your right hand. (6) The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. (7) The Lord shall preserve you FROM ALL EVIL; He shall preserve your soul. (8) The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.) Returning to Isaiah 49:19—For He who HAS MERCY on them WILL LEAD THEM, even BY THE SPRINGS OF WATER HE WILL GUIDE THEM.

John 4:14—“but whoever DRINKS OF THE WATER that I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL NEVER THIRST. BUT THE WATER THAT I SHALL GIVE HIM WILL BECOME IN HIM A FOUNTAIN OF WATER SPRINGING UP INTO EVERLASTING LIFE.”

Isaiah 12:3—Therefore WITH JOY you will DRAW WATER FROM the WELLS of SALVATION. (4) And in that day you will say: Praise the Lord, call upon His name; DECLARE HIS DEEDS among the peoples, make mention THAT HIS NAME IS EXALTED. (5) Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth. (6) Cry out AND SHOUT, O inhabitant OF ZION, FOR GREAT IS THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL IN YOUR MIDST!”

1 John 4:13—By THIS we know that we abide in Him and He is us, BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. (14) AND WE HAVE SEEN (In the word!) and TESTIFY that THE FATHER HAS SENT THE SON AS SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.”

1 Corin. 2:9—But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” (10) But God HAS REVEALED THEM TO US THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, for the Spirit SEARCHES all things, yes, THE DEEP THINGS of GOD. (11) For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so NO ONE KNOWS THE THINGS of GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT of GOD.
