Isaiah 40:5—THE GLORY of THE LORD shall be REVEALED, and all flesh shall see it together; FOR the MOUTH of THE LORD HAS SPOKEN. Psalm 89:1—I will sing of the MERCIES of the Lord FOREVER; with MY MOUTH will I MAKE KNOWN Your faithfulness to ALL GENERATIONS. (2) For I HAVE SAID, “MERCY shall BE BUILT UP FOREVER; Ps. 90:13—RETURN, O LORD! How long? And have COMPASSION on Your servants. (14) Oh, SATISFY US EARLY with YOUR MERCY, that we may REJOICE and BE GLAD ALL OUR DAYS! (15) Make US GLAD according to the days in which YOU HAVE AFFLICTED US, (Ps. 119:67—BEFORE I was AFFLICTED I went ASTRAY, but NOW I KEEP YOUR WORD. (68) YOU are GOOD, and DO GOOD;

1 Chron. 16:28—Give to the Lord, O kindreds of the peoples, give to the Lord THE GLORY DUE HIS NAME; bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, worship the Lord in THE BEAUTY of HOLINESS! (30) Tremble before Him, all the earth. THE WORLD is ALSO FIRMLY ESTABLISHED, IT SHALL NOT BE MOVED. (31) Let the heavens REJOICE, and LET THE EARTH be GLAD; and let them say AMONG the NATIONS, “THE LORD REIGNS.” (32) Let the sea roar, and ALL its fullness; let THE FIELD REJOICE, and ALL that is in it. (33) Then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before the Lord, for HE is COMING to JUDGE THE EARTH. (34) Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for HE is GOOD! For HIS MERCY ENDURES FOREVER. (35) And say, “SAVE US, O GOD of OUR SALVATION; GATHER US TOGETHER, and DELIVER US from THE GENTILES, to GIVE THANKS to YOUR HOLY NAME, to TRIUMPH IN YOUR PRAISE.

Returning Ps. 90:15--Make us glad according to the days in which You have afflicted us, and the years in which we have seen evil (16) LET YOUR WORK APPEAR to YOUR SERVANTS, and YOUR GLORY to THEIR CHILDREN. (17) And let THE BEAUTY of THE LORD our God BE UPON US, and ESTABLISH the WORK of OUR HANDS for US; yes, ESTABLISH the WORK of OUR HANDS. Micah 7:18—Who is a God like You, PARDONING INIQUITY and passing over the transgression OF THE REMNANT of HIS HERITAGE? (Psalm 74:1—O God, why have You cast us off forever? Why does Your anger smoke against THE SHEEP of YOUR PASTURE? (2) Remember YOUR CONGREGATION, which YOU have purchased of old, THE TRIBE of YOUR INHERITANCE, which You have redeemed—THIS MOUNT ZION where YOU HAVE DWELT.)

Returning to Micah 7:18--HE DOES NOT RETAIN HIS ANGER FOREVER, BECAUSE HE DELIGHTS IN MERCY. (19) He will AGAIN have COMPASSION on US, and WILL SUBDUE OUR INIQUITES. (Not leave us to continue to dwell in them) You will cast ALL our sins into the depths of the sea. (20) You will give TRUTH to JACOB

(Ps. 24:6--This is JACOB, the generation of those WHO SEEK HIM who seek YOUR FACE.) and MERCY to ABRAHAM, which YOU HAVE SWORN to OUR FATHERS from days of old. Romans 15:8—NOW I say that Jesus Christ has BECOME a servant to the circumcision FOR THE TRUTH of GOD, to CONFIRM THE PROMISES made TO THE FATHERS.

(Ps. 119:89—Forever, O Lord, YOUR WORD is SETTLED IN HEAVEN. (9) Your faithfulness ENDURES to ALL GENERATIONS; You ESTABLISHED the EARTH and it ABIDES.) Your faithfulness; YOU shall ESTABLISH in the VERY HEAVENS.” (3) I have made A COVENANT with MY CHOSEN. I have SWORN to DAVID: (4) YOUR SEED I will ESTABLISH FOREVER, and BUILD UP YOUR THRONE TO ALL GENERATIONS.” Psalm 89:35—Once I have SWORN by MY HOLINESS; I WILL NOT LIE to DAVID: (36) HIS SEED shall ENDURE FOREVER, and HIS THRONE as THE SUN before Me; (37) IT SHALL be ESTABLISHED FOREVER like THE MOON, even like THE FAITHFUL WITNESS in THE SKY.

Luke 1:30—Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid Mary, for 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.”

Pro. 19:27—Cease LISTENING to INSTRUCTION, my son, and you WILL STRAY from THE WORDS of KNOWLEDGE. Pro. 24:5—A WISE man is STRONG, yes, a man of KNOWLEDGE increases STRENGTH. Hosea 3:6-–MY PEOPLE are destroyed FOR LACK of KNOWLEDGE. Isaiah 5:12—But they DO NOT regard THE WORK of THE LORD, nor CONSIDER the OPERATION of HIS HANDS. (13) THEREFORE MY PEOPLE have gone into captivity, BECAUSE they HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE; their HONORALBE MEN are FAMISHED, and THEIR MULTITUDE DRIED UP with THIRST. (Matt. 5:6—Blessed are those who HUNGER and THIRST for RIGHTEOUSNESS for THEY shall BE FILLED.

Is. 55:1—Ho! EVERYONE who THIRSTS, come TO THE WATERS; and you who have NO MONEY, come, buy and EAT. Yes, come, buy wine and milk WITHOUT MONEY and WITHOUT PRICE. (2) WHY do you spend money for what IS NOT BREAD, and your wages for WHAT DOES NOT SATISFY? LISTEN diligently TO ME, and EAT WHAT is GOOD, and let your soul delight itself in ABUNDANCE. (3) INCLINE your EAR, and come TO ME. HEAR, and your soul shall live: and I WILL MAKE AN EVERLASTING COVENANT with YOU—the SURE MERCIES of DAVID. (4) Indeed I have GIVEN HIM as a WITNESS to the people, a leader and commander for the people. (5) Surely YOU SHALL CALL A NATION you DO NOT KNOW, and NATIONS WHO DO NOT KNOW YOU shall RUN TO YOU, because OF the Lord your God, and THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL; for HE HAS GLORIFIED YOU.”

Isaiah 48:12—LISTEN to ME, O JACOB, (Ps. 24:6—This is JACOB, the generation of those WHO SEEK HIM who seek YOUR FACE.) and Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also THE LAST. (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:

Isaiah 10:20—And it shall come to pass in that day that THE REMNANT of ISRAEL, and such as have ESCAPED of the house of JACOB, will never again depend on him who has defeated them. But will depend on THE LORD, THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, in TRUTH. (21) The remnant WILL RETURN, the remnant of Jacob, to the MIGHTY GOD. (22) For though your people, O ISRAEL, be as the sand of the sea, yet A REMNANT of them WILL RETURN; THE DESTRUCTION DECREED shall OVERFLOW with RITHTEOUSNESS. (23) For the Lord of host will make A DETERMINED END in the midst of all the land.)

Ps. 148:1—PRAISE the LORD! (3) Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him all you stars of light! (4) Praise Him, you heavens of heavens, and you waters above the heavens! (5) Let them PRAISE the name of the Lord, for HE COMMANDED and THEY WERE CREATED. (6) He has ALSO ESTABLISHED THEM FOREVER and EVER; HE HAS MADE A DECREE which SHALL NOT PASS AWAY. Psalm 2:7—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. Psalm 23:27—ALL THE ENDS of THE WORLD shall REMEMBER and TURN to THE LORD. And all the families of THE NATIONS shall WORSHIP before You. (28) For THE KINGDOM is THE LORD’S, and HE RULES OVER THE NATIONS.

Isaiah 17:7—In that day a man will look TO HIS MAKER, and his eyes will have respect for THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL. (8) He will NOT look TO THE ALTARS, THE WORK of HIS HANDS; He will NOT respect what his fingers have made, nor the wooden images nor the incense altars. Micah 5:13—Your carved images I will also cut off, and your sacred pillars from your midst; YOU SHALL NO MORE WORSHIP THE WORK OF YOUR HANDS; 2 Chron. 32:19—And they spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of THE EARTH---the WORK OF MEN’S HANDS. Ps. 28:5—BECAUSE they DO NOT REGARD the WORKS OF THE LORD, NOR the OPERATION of HIS HANDS, HE SHALL DESTROY THEM and NOT BUILD THEM UP.

Psalm 92:4—For You, Lord, have made me glad THROUGH YOUR WORK; I WILL TRIUMPH in THE WORKS of YOUR HANDS. Isaiah 29:22—Therefore thus says the Lord, who REDEEMED ABRAHAM, concerning THE HOUSE of JACOB: “Jacob shall NOT NOW be ASHAMED, nor shall his face now grow pale; (23) But when he sees HIS CHILDREN, THE WORK of MY HANDS, in his midst, they WILL HALLOW MY NAME, and HALLOW THE ONLY ONE of Jacob, and FEAR the God of ISRAEL. (24) These also WHO ERRED IN SPIRIT will COME TO UNDERSTANDING, and those who murmured WILL LEARN DOCTRINE. (Pro.9:10—The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and THE KNOWLEDGE of THE HOLY ONE is UNDERSTANDING. (11) For by me your days will be multiplied, and YEARS OF LIFE WILL be ADDED to YOU.)

Returning to Isaiah 48:17—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, and the offspring of your body like the grains of sand; HIS NAME would NOT HAVE BEEN CUT OFF nor DESTROYED from BEFORE ME.

Isaiah 49:1—LISTEN, O coastlands, to ME, and TAKE HEED, you peoples from afar! The Lord has called Me from the womb; from the matrix of My mother He has made mention of My name. (2) and He has MADE MY MOUTH like A SHARP SWORD; ( Rev. 1:16—He had in HIS RIGHT HAND seven stars, OUT of HIS MOUTH went A SHARP TWO-EDGED SWORD, and HIS COUNTENANCE was LIKE the SUN SHINING IN its STRENGTH.)

Returning to Is. 49:2--in the shadow of HIS HAND He has HIDDEN ME, and made Me a polished shaft; in HIS QUIVER He has HIDDEN ME.? (3) And He said to me, You are My servant, O ISRAEL, IN WHOM I WILL be GLORIFIED. (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 HAVE NOT cast you away: (14) FEAR NOT, for I am WITH YOU; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I WILL STRENGTHEN you, yes, I WILL HELP YOU, I will UPHOLD you with MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND.)

Returning to Is. 49:4--Then I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and in vain; yet surely my just reward is with the Lord, and MY WORK with MY GOD. (5) And now THE LORD SAYS, who formed Me from the womb to be His Servant, to BRING JACOB BACK to HIM for I shall be GLORIOUS in the eyes of the Lord, and My God shall be MY STRENGTH. (6) Indeed HE SAYS, It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant TO RAISE UP THE TRIBES of JACOB, and TO RESTORE THE PRESERVED ONES of ISRAEL; I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU AS A LIGHT TO THE GENTILES, THAT YOU SHOULD BE MY SALVATION TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH.

(7) Thus SAYS the LORD, the Redeemer of ISRAEL, their HOLY ONE, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nations abhors, to the Servant of rulers: “Kings SHALL SEE and ARISE, princes ALSO shall worship, BECAUSE of the Lord WHO is FAITHFUL, THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL; and HE has CHOSEN YOU.” (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.’’

Matthew 18:10—“(Jesus) TAKE HEED that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. (11) For the Son of Man HAS COME to SAVE that which WAS LOST. (12) “What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and ONE of them GOES ASTRAY, does HE NOT LEAVE THE NINTY-NINE and GO to the mountains TO SEEK the ONE that is STRAYING? (13) “and if he should FIND IT, assuredly, I say to you, HE REJOICES MORE OVER that SHEEP than over the ninety-nine THAT DID NOT GO ASTRAY. (14) even so IT IS NOT the WILL of YOUR FATHER who is in heaven THAT ONE of these LITTLE ONES SHOULD PERISH.

Luke 15:2—And the PHARISEES and SCRIBES murmured, saying, “THIS MAN RECEIVES SINNERS and EATS with THEM.” (3) So He spoke this parable to them, saying: (4) “What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if HE LOSES ONE of THEM, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness, and GO AFTER the ONE which IS LOST UNTIL he FINDS IT? (5)”And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, REJOICING. (6) “and when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘REJOICE WITH ME, for I HAVE FOUND MY SHEEP which WAS LOST!; (7) “I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven OVER ONE SINNER WHO REPENTS than OVER NINETY-NINE JUST PERSONS who NEED NO REPENTANCE.

Ps. 79:11—Let the groaning of THE PRISONER come before You; according to the greatness of YOUR POWER preserve those APPOINTED to DIE; (13) So we, YOUR PEOPLE and SHEEP of YOUR PASTURE will give YOU THANKS FOREVER; We will show forth YOUR PRAISE TO ALL GENERATIONS.

Psalm 102:12—But You, O Lord, SHALL ENDURE FOREVER, and THE REMEMBRANCE of YOUR NAME to ALL GENERATIONS. (13) You will ARISE and have MERCYY on ZION: For THE TIME to favor her, Yes, THE SET TIME has COME. (14) For Your servants take pleasure in her STONES, and show favor to her dust.

1 Peter 2:4—COMING to HIM as to a LIVING STONE, rejected indeed by men, BUT CHOSEN by GOD and precious, (5) YOU also, AS LIVINGSTONES, are being BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a HOLY PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices ACCEPTABLE to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, ‘BEHOLD I lay IN ZION a CHIEF CORNERSTONE, elect, precious, and he who believes on HIM will by NO means be put TO SHAME. (Ps. 26—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.)

Returning to Psalm 102:14—For Your servants take pleasure in HER STONES, and show favor to her dust, (15) SO THE NATIONS shall FEAR the NAME of THE LORD, and ALL the KINGS of THE EARTH YOUR GLORY. (17) He shall regard the prayer of THE DESTITUTE, and shall not despise their prayer. (18) THIS will BE WRITTEN for THE GENERATION to COME, that a people YET TO BE CREATED may PRAISE THE LORD. (19) For HE LOOKED DOWN from THE HEIGHT of HIS SANCTUARY: FROM HEAVEN the Lord VIEWED the EARTH, (20) To hear the groaning of the prisoner, TO LOOSE THOSE APPOINTED to DEATH, (21) TO DECLARE THE NAME of THE LORD in ZION, and HIS PRAISE in JERUSALEM, (22) When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms, TO SERVE the LORD. (NOTE: From HEAVEN He looks down to declare THE NAME of THE LORD in ZION.)

(23) HE WEAKENED my STRENGTH in THE WAY; HE SHORTENED MY DAYS. (24) I said, “O MY GOD, DO NOT TAKE ME AWAY IN THE MIDST OF MY DAYS; YOUR YEARS are THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS.

Ps. 78:52—But He made HIS OWN PEOPLE go forth LIKE SHEEP, and GUIDED them in the wilderness LIKE A FLOCK; (53) And HE LED them on safely, so that they did not fear; but the sea overwhelmed their enemies. (54) And HE BROUGHT THEM to HIS HOLY BORDER, THIS MOUNTAIN which HIS RIGHT HAND had ACQUIRED. (skipping ahead to verse 68—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 FOREVER. Psalm 96:10—Say among THE NATIONS, “THE LORD REIGNS; THE WORLD ALSO is FIRMLY ESTABLISHED, IT SHALL NOT be MOVED; He shall judge the peoples RIGHTEOUSLY.” (11) Let the heavens rejoice and the THE EARTH be GLAD; let the sea roar, and all its fullness, (12) Let THE FIELD BE JOYFUL, and ALL that is IN IT. (Matt. 13:37—“HE who sows the GOOD SEED is the SON of MAN. (38) THE FIELD is THE WORLD, the GOOD SEEDS are THE SONS of the kingdom.)

Returning to Ps. 96:13—For HE IS COMING, for He is coming to JUDGE the earth. HE SHALL JUDGE the WORLD with RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the peoples with HIS TRUTH. Psalm 97:1—THE LORD REIGNS; Let THE EARTH REJOICE; Let the multitude of isles be glad! (2) CLOUDS and DARKNESS surround HIM; RIGHTEOUSNESS and JUSTICE are THE FOUNDATIONS of HIS THRONE. Psalm 99:1—THE LORD REIGNS; let the peoples tremble! HE DWELLS BETWEEN the CHERUBIM. (Exodus 25:22—And THERE I will MEET with YOU, and I WILL SPEAK with YOU from above THE MERCY SEAT, from BETWEEN the TWO CHERUBIM which are on the ark of THE TESTIMONY.)

Returning to Psalm 99:1—He dwells between the cherubim; let the earth be moved! (2) THE LORD is GREAT IN ZION, (Luke 1:32—He (Jesus) 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.) And He is HIGH above ALL the peoples. (3) Let them PRAISE YOUR GREAT and AWESOME NAME—He is holy. (4) The King’s strength also loves justice; You haves established equity; You have executed JUSTICE and RIGHTEOUSNESS in JACOB. (5) EXALT the LORD our GOD, and WORSHIP at HIS FOOTSTOOL; for HE IS HOLY. (Is. 66:1—Thus says the Lord: HEAVEN is MY THRONE, and EARTH is MY FOOTSTOOL. Where is THE HOUSE that you will build Me? And WHERE is THE PLACE of MY REST?)

Jeremiah 50:6—MY PEOPLE have been LOST SHEEP. THEIR SHEPHERDS have LED THEM ASTRAY, They have turned them AWAY on the mountains. They have gone from mountain to hill; THEY HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR RESTING PLACE. Deut. 12:5—“But you SHALL SEEK THE PLACE where the Lord your God CHOOSES, out of all YOUR TRIBES, to PUT HIS NAME for HIS HABITATION; and THERE you shall GO. (9) “for as yet you have NOT COME to THE REST and THE INHERITANCE which the Lord your God is GIVING YOU.

Psalm 78:68—But CHOSE the TRIBE of JUDAH, (Heb. 7:14—For it is evident that our Lord AROSE from JUDAH, of which TRIBE Moses spoke NOTHING concerning PRIESTHOOD.) (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.) Returning to Ps. 78:68—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 FOREVER.

Jere. 16:19—O Lord, my strength and my fortress, my refuge in the day of afflictions, THE GENTILES shall COME to YOU FROM THE ENDS of THE EARTH and SAY, “Surely our fathers have INHERITED LIES, WORTHLESSNESS and UPROFITABLE THINGS.” Jere. 17:12—A GLORIOUS HIGH THRONE from THE BEGINNING is THE PLACE of OUR SANCTUARY. (13) O Lord, THE HOPE of ISRAEL, all who FORSAKE YOU shall be ASHAMED. Those who DEPART from ME shall be written in the earth, BECAUSE you HAVE FORSAKEN THE LORD, THE FOUNTAIN of LIVING WATERS.” (14) HEAL ME, O Lord, and I shall be healed; SAVE ME and I shall be saved, for You are my praise. (15) Indeed they say to me, ‘WHERE IS THE WORD of THE LORD? LET IT COME NOW!” (16) As for me, I have not HURRIED AWAY from being A SHEPHERD who FOLLOWS YOU, NOR HAVE I DESIRED the WOEFUL DAY;

Ps. 147:8—The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and GREAT in MERCY. (9) THE LORD is GOOD to ALL, and HIS TENDER MERCIES are OVER ALL HIS WORKS. (10) ALL YOUR WORKS SHALL PRAISE YOU, O Lord, and Your saints shall bless You. (11) They shall speak of THE GLORY of YOUR KINGDOM, and TALK of YOUR POWER , (12) To MAKE KNOWN to the sons of men HIS MIGHTY ACTS, and THE GLORIOUS MAJESTY of HIS KINGDOM. (13) YOUR KINGDOM is an EVERLASTING KINGDOM, and YOUR DOMINION ENDURES THROUGOUT ALL GENERATIONS.

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. Ps. 74:2—Remember YOUR CONGREGATION, which You have purchased of old, THE TRIBE of YOUR INHERITANCE, which You have redeemed—THIS MOUNT ZION where You HAVE DWELT.

Ps. 132:8—ARISE, O Lord, to YOUR RESTING PLACE, You and THE ARK of YOUR STRENGTH. (13) For the Lord HAS CHOSEN ZION: He has DESIRED it for HIS HABITATION: (14) “THIS is MY RESTING PLACE FOREVER; HERE I WILL DWELL, for I HAVE DESIRED IT.

Hebrews 4:1—Therefore, since A PROMISE REMAINS of ENTERING HIS REST (Deut. 12:9—for as YET you have not COME to THE REST and THE INHERITANCE which the Lord your God is GIVING you.) let us FEAR lest ANY of you SEEM to HAVE COME SHORT of IT. (2) For indeed THE GOSPEL was preached to US as well as TO THEM; BUT the WORD which they heard DID NOT PROFIT them, NOT BEING MIXED with FAITH in THOSE who HEARD IT. (3) For we who have believed DO ENTER THAT REST.

Isaiah 11:10—And in that day there shall be A ROOT of JESSE, who shall STAND as a BANNER to the people; for THE GENTILES SHALL SEEK HIM, and HIS RESTING PLACE SHALL BE GLORIOUS. (11) It shall come to pass in that day THAT THE LORD SHALL SET HIS HAND AGAIN THE SECOND TIME TO RECOVER THE REMNANT of HIS PEOPLE who ARE LEFT. Is. 10:20—And it shall come to pass in that day THAT THE REMNANT of ISRAEL, and such as HAVE ESCAPED of the house of JACOB, (Ezra 9:8—And NOW for a little while GRACE has BEEN SHOWN from the Lord our God, to LEAVE US A REMNANT TO ESCAPE, and to GIVE US A PEG in HIS HOLY PLACE, that OUR GOD MAY ENLIGHTEN OUR EYES and GIVE US A MEASURE OF REVIVAL IN OUR BONDAGE)

Returning to Isaiah 11:20—that the remnant of Israel, and such as have escaped will NEVER AGAIN depend on him who defeated them, but WILL DEPEND on THE LORD, THE HOLY ONE of ISRAEL, IN TRUTH. (21) THE REMNANT WILL RETURN, the remnant of JACOB. To THE MIGHTY GOD. (22) For though your people, O ISRAEL, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them WILL RETURN; THE DESTRUCTION DECREED shall OVERFLOW with RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hosea 10:12—SOW for yourselves RIGHTEOUSNESS; reap IN MERCY; break up your FALLOW ground, for IT IS TIME to SEEK THE LORD till HE COMES and RAINS RIGHTEOUSNESS on you.

Ps. 90:3—YOU turn man TO DESTRUCTION, and say RETURN, O children of Men. Jere. 14:7—WAIL for THE DAY OF THE LORD shall COME AS DESTRUCTION. Joel 2:11—For THE DAY OF THE LORD is GREAT and VERY TERRIBLE; WHO CAN ENDURE IT? (Amos 9:10—All the sinners of MY PEOPLE shall die by the sword, who say “THE CALAMITY SHALL NOT OVERTAKE US nor CONFRONT US. (11) On the day I WILL RAISE UP THE TABERNACLE of DAVID, (The giant killer) which has fallen down, and repair its damages; I WILL RAISE UP its RUINS, and REBUILD IT as in the days of old; (12) that they may posses the remnant of Edom, and ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME. (Gentiles: Dict. Def. Christian when directly distinguished from Jewish)

Returning to Joel 2:12—Now, therefore, says the Lord, “TURN to ME with ALL YOUR HEART, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” (13) Sor REND your HEART, and not your garments; RETURN to the Lord your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and OF GREAT KINDNESS; and HE RELENTS from DOING HARM. (14) WHO KNOWS if HE WILL TURN and RELENT and LEAVE A BLESSING, behind HIM—

Hosea 11:9—I WILL NOT EXECUTE the FIERCNESS of MY ANGER; I WILL NOT DESTROY EPHRAIM. (fruitful) For I AM GOD, and NOT MAN, THE HOLY ONE in YOUR MIDST; and I WILL NOT COME WITH TERROR. (10) They shall walk after the Lord. HE WILL ROAR LIKE A LION. (Lion of Judah) When HE ROARS, THEN His sons shall COME TREMBLING from the west; (11) They shall come trembling like a bird from Egypt, LIKE A DOVE from the land of Assyria, and I WILL LET THEM DWELL IN THEIR HOUSES, says the Lord.

(Isaiah 27:2—In that day sing to her, A VINEYARD (Is. 7—For THE VINEYARD of the Lord of hosts is THE HOUSE of ISRAEL, and the men of JUDAH are HIS PLEASANT PLANT.) a vineyard of RED WINE! (This must be the best wine He saved for last) (3) I, the Lord, KEEP IT, I WATER IT EVERY MOMENT; lest any HURT IT, I KEEP IT NIGHT and DAY. (4) FURY is NOT IN ME. Who would set briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. (5) Or let him TAKE HOLD of MY STRENGTH, that HE MAY MAKE PEACE WITH ME; and HE SHALL MAKE PEACE WITH ME. (6) Those WHO COME He shall CAUSE to TAKE ROOT in JACOB; ISRAL SHALL BLOSSOM and BUD, and FILL THE FACE OF THE WORLD WITH FRUIT.

Psalm 21:1—THE KING shall have JOY in YOUR STRENGTH, o Lord; and in YOUR SALVATION how greatly shall HE REJOICE! (2) You have given him HIS HEART’S DESIRE, and have not withheld THE REQUEST of HIS LIPS. (3) For You meet him with THE BLESSINGS of GOODNESS; You set A CROWN of PURE GOLD upon HIS HEAD. (4) HE ASKED LIFE from YOU, and YOU GAVE IT to HIM—LENGTH OF DAYS FOREVER and EVER. (5) HIS GLORY is GREAT in YOUR SALVATION; HONOR and MAJESTY You have PLACED UPON HIM. (13) Be EXALTED, O Lord, IN YOUR OWN STRENGTH! WE WILL SING and PRAISE YOUR POWER.

2 Chron. 13:12—NOW LOOK, GOD HIMSELF is WITH US as OUR HEAD, and HIS PRIESTS with SOUNDING TRUMPETS to sound the alarm against you. O CHILDREN of ISRAEL, DO NOT FIGHT AGAINST THE LORD God of YOUR FATHERS, FOR YOU SHALL NOT PROSPER.
