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 the earth is my footstool.
What kind of house will you build to me?
Where will I rest?
For my hand has made all these things, Isa 57:15Psa 34:18Psa 51:17Mat 5:3-42Ch 34:27-28Pro 28:14Php 2:12Psa 119:120
and so all these things came to be,” says the LORD:
“but I will look to this man,
even to he who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
and who trembles at my word.
He who kills an ox is as he who kills a man; Pro 15:8Amo 5:21-22Isa 1:11-15Isa 65:12Isa 66:17Lev 2:2Deu 14:8Deu 23:18
he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog’s neck;
he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig’s blood;
he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol.
Yes, they have chosen their own ways,
and their soul delights in their abominations.
I also will choose their delusions, Isa 65:122Ki 21:22Ki 21:6Jer 7:13Pro 1:24Pro 10:24Pro 1:31-32Psa 81:12
and will bring their fears on them,
because when I called, no one answered;
when I spoke, they didn’t listen,
but they did that which was evil in my eyes,
and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
Hear the LORD’s word, Jhn 15:18-20Isa 66:2Mat 5:10-12Mat 10:22Psa 38:201Jn 3:13Isa 5:19Jer 36:16
you who tremble at his word:
“Your brothers who hate you,
who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said,
‘Let the LORD be glorified,
that we may see your joy;’
but it is those who shall be disappointed.
A voice of tumult from the city, Jol 3:7-16Amo 1:2Isa 34:8Isa 59:18Isa 65:5-7
a voice from the temple,
a voice of the LORD that repays his enemies what they deserve.
“Before she travailed, she gave birth. Rev 12:1-5Gal 4:26Isa 54:1
Before her pain came, she delivered a son.
Who has heard of such a thing? Isa 64:41Co 2:9Isa 49:20-22Rom 15:18-21Act 2:41Act 21:20Act 4:4
Who has seen such things?
Shall a land be born in one day?
Shall a nation be born at once?
For as soon as Zion travailed,
she gave birth to her children.
Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to be delivered?” says the LORD. Isa 37:3Gen 18:14
“Shall I who cause to give birth shut the womb?” says your God.
“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her. Deu 32:43Psa 137:6Psa 26:8Ezk 9:4Isa 65:18Isa 44:23Isa 61:2-3Jhn 16:20-22
Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her;
that you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; Isa 60:16Jol 3:18Isa 60:5Psa 36:81Pe 2:2
that you may drink deeply,
and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”
For the LORD says, “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, Isa 48:18Isa 60:16Isa 45:14Isa 66:11Isa 49:19-23Isa 54:3Isa 61:6Isa 9:7
and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream,
and you will nurse.
You will be carried on her side,
and will be dandled on her knees.
As one whom his mother comforts, 2Co 1:4Isa 51:3Isa 40:11Th 2:7Isa 65:18-19Isa 66:10Psa 137:6
so I will comfort you.
You will be comforted in Jerusalem.”
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, Zec 10:7Ezk 37:1-14Ezr 7:9Ezr 8:22Ezr 8:31Pro 17:22Pro 3:8Isa 65:12-16
and your bones will flourish like the tender grass.
The LORD’s hand will be known among his servants;
and he will have indignation against his enemies.
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
and his chariots will be like the whirlwind;
to give his anger with fierceness,
and his rebuke with flames of fire.
For the LORD will execute judgment by fire and by his sword on all flesh; Ezk 38:21-22Ezk 39:2-10Isa 30:30Isa 27:1Rev 19:11-21Isa 34:5-10
and those slain by the LORD will be many.
“Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, following one in the middle, eating pig’s meat, abominable things, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together,” says the LORD. Isa 65:3-4Deu 14:3-8Isa 1:28-29Lev 11:2-8
“For I know their works and their thoughts. The time comes that I will gather all nations and languages, and they will come, and will see my glory. Psa 86:9Rev 11:152Co 4:4-6Isa 2:2Jhn 5:421Co 3:20Heb 4:12Rom 15:8-12
“I will set a sign among them, and I will send those who escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to far-away islands, who have not heard my fame, nor have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations. Isa 52:15Rom 15:21Ezk 27:10Isa 55:5Isa 60:91Ch 16:24Isa 62:10Isa 65:1 They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into the LORD’s house.

“For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me,” says the LORD, “so your offspring and your name shall remain. Isa 65:172Pe 3:13Rev 21:11Pe 1:4-5Jhn 10:27-29Heb 12:26-28Mat 28:20 It shall happen that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, all flesh will come to worship before me,” says the LORD.
