Heaven Is My Throne
This is what the LORD says: Act 17:24Act 7:48-50Mat 5:34-351Ki 8:27Psa 132:72Sa 7:5-7Jhn 4:20-211Ch 28:2
“Heaven is My throne,
and earth is My footstool.
What kind of house will you build for Me?
Or where will My place of repose be?
Has not My hand made all these things? 1 Isa 57:15Psa 34:18Psa 51:17Mat 5:3-42Ch 34:27-28Pro 28:14Php 2:12Psa 119:120
And so they came into being,”
declares the LORD.
“This is the one I will esteem:
he who is humble and contrite in spirit,
who trembles at My word.
Whoever slaughters an ox is like one who slays a man; Pro 15:8Amo 5:21-22Isa 1:11-15Isa 65:12Isa 66:17Lev 2:2Deu 14:8Deu 23:18
whoever sacrifices a lamb is like one who breaks a dog’s neck;
whoever presents a grain offering is like one who offers pig’s blood;
whoever offers frankincense is like one who blesses an idol.
Indeed, they have chosen their own ways
and delighted in their abominations.
So I will choose their punishment Isa 65:122Ki 21:22Ki 21:6Jer 7:13Pro 1:24Pro 10:24Pro 1:31-32Psa 81:12
and I will bring terror upon them,
because I called and no one answered,
I spoke and no one listened.
But they did evil in My sight
and chose that in which I did not delight.”
You who tremble at His word, Jhn 15:18-20Isa 66:2Mat 5:10-12Mat 10:22Psa 38:201Jn 3:13Isa 5:19Jer 36:16
hear the word of the LORD:
“Your brothers who hate you
and exclude you because of My name
have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified
that we may see your joy!’
But they will be put to shame.”
Hear the uproar from the city; Jol 3:7-16Amo 1:2Isa 34:8Isa 59:18Isa 65:5-7
listen to the voice from the temple!
It is the voice of the LORD,
repaying His enemies what they deserve!
Rejoice with Jerusalem
“Before she was in labor, she gave birth; Rev 12:1-5Gal 4:26Isa 54:1
before she was in pain, she delivered a boy.
Who has heard of such as this? Isa 64:41Co 2:9Isa 49:20-22Rom 15:18-21Act 2:41Act 21:20Act 4:4
Who has seen such things?
Can a country be born in a day
or a nation be delivered in an instant?
Yet as soon as Zion was in labor,
she gave birth to her children.
Shall I bring a baby to the point of birth and not deliver it?” Isa 37:3Gen 18:14
says the LORD.
“Or will I who deliver close the womb?”
says your God.
Be glad for Jerusalem and rejoice over her, Deu 32:43Psa 137:6Psa 26:8Ezk 9:4Isa 65:18Isa 44:23Isa 61:2-3Jhn 16:20-22
all who love her.
Rejoice greatly with her,
all who mourn over her,
so that you may nurse and be satisfied Isa 60:16Jol 3:18Isa 60:5Psa 36:81Pe 2:2
at her comforting breasts;
you may drink deeply and delight yourselves
in her glorious abundance.
For this is what the LORD says: Isa 48:18Isa 60:16Isa 45:14Isa 66:11Isa 49:19-23Isa 54:3Isa 61:6Isa 9:7
“I will extend peace to her like a river,
and the wealth of nations like a flowing stream;
you will nurse and be carried on her arm,
and bounced upon her knees.
As a mother comforts her son, 2Co 1:4Isa 51:3Isa 40:11Th 2:7Isa 65:18-19Isa 66:10Psa 137:6
so will I comfort you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
When you see, you will rejoice, Zec 10:7Ezk 37:1-14Ezr 7:9Ezr 8:22Ezr 8:31Pro 17:22Pro 3:8Isa 65:12-16
and you will flourish like grass;
then the hand of the LORD will be revealed to His servants,
but His wrath will be shown to His enemies.
Final Judgments against the Wicked
For behold, the LORD will come with fire— Isa 30:332Pe 3:10-122Th 1:6-9Mat 22:7Psa 11:6Psa 21:9Psa 68:17Psa 97:3
His chariots are like a whirlwind—
to execute His anger with fury
and His rebuke with flames of fire.
For by fire and by His sword, Ezk 38:21-22Ezk 39:2-10Isa 30:30Isa 27:1Rev 19:11-21Isa 34:5-10
the LORD will execute judgment on all flesh,
and many will be slain by the LORD.
“Those who consecrate and purify themselves to enter the groves—to follow one in the center of those who eat the flesh of swine and vermin and rats—will perish together,” declares the LORD. Isa 65:3-4Deu 14:3-8Isa 1:28-29Lev 11:2-8
“And I, knowing their deeds and thoughts, am coming 2to gather all nations and tongues, and they will come and see My glory. Psa 86:9Rev 11:152Co 4:4-6Isa 2:2Jhn 5:421Co 3:20Heb 4:12Rom 15:8-12
I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from among them to the nations—to Tarshish, Put, and the archers of Lud; to Tubal, Javan, and the islands 3far away who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. Isa 52:15Rom 15:21Ezk 27:10Isa 55:5Isa 60:91Ch 16:24Isa 62:10Isa 65:1
So they will proclaim My glory among the nations. And they will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the LORD on horses and chariots and wagons, on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the LORD, “just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.” Isa 60:3-14Isa 11:9Isa 43:6Isa 56:7Isa 65:11Isa 65:25Rom 15:161Pe 2:5
“And I will select some of them as priests and Levites,” says the LORD. 1Pe 2:9Exo 19:61Pe 2:5Isa 61:6Rev 1:6Rev 20:6Rev 5:10Jer 13:18-22
“For just as the new heavens and the new earth, 4 Isa 65:172Pe 3:13Rev 21:11Pe 1:4-5Jhn 10:27-29Heb 12:26-28Mat 28:20
which I will make, will endure before Me,”
declares the LORD,
“so your descendants and your name will endure.
From one New Moon to another Ezk 46:1Psa 86:9Col 2:16-17Ezk 46:6Zec 14:16Isa 1:13-14Jhn 4:23Mal 1:11
and from one Sabbath to another,
all mankind will come to worship before Me,”
says the LORD.
“As they go forth, they will see the corpses Isa 14:11Rev 14:10-111Th 2:15-16Dan 12:2Rev 21:8Isa 34:10Mrk 9:43-49Psa 58:10-11
of the men who have rebelled against Me;
for their worm will never die,
their fire will never be quenched, 5
and they will be a horror
to all mankind.”
