Part 1 The Servant

THE LITTLE BOOK ​

REVELATIONS 10: And I saw another strong angel coming down out of heaven, clothed with a cloud; and the rainbow was upon his head, and his face was like the sun, and his feet like pillars of fire; and he had in his hand a little book which was open. And he placed his right foot on the sea and his left on the land;

REVELATIONS 10: and he cried out with a loud voice, as when a lion roars; and when he had cried out, the seven peals of thunder uttered their voices.

REVELATIONS 10: but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, then the mystery of God is finished, as He preached to His servants the prophets.

REVELATIONS 10: And the voice which I heard from heaven, I heard again speaking with me, and saying, "Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on the land."

REVELATIONS 10: And I went to the angel, telling him to give me the little book. And he said to me, "Take it, and eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey."

REVELATIONS 10: And I took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was in my mouth sweet as honey; and when I had eaten it, my stomach was made bitter.

REVELATIONS 10: And they said to me, "You must prophesy again concerning many peoples and nations and tongues and kings."

Matthew 12: 42 The Queen of the South shall rise up with this generation at the judgment and shall condemn it, because she came from th ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and behold, something greater than Solomon is here.

Matthew 16: 28 Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who shall not taste death until they see the son of man coming in his kingdom.

John 21: 20-23 Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following them, the one who also had leaned back on his breast at the supper, and said, "Lord, who is the one who betrays you?" Peter therefore seeing him said to Jesus, "Lord, and what about this man?" Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me!" This saying therefore went out about the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

THE DIVINE WOMAN ​

REVELATIONS 12: And a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars; and she was with child; and she cried out, being in labor and in pain to give birth.

REVELATIONS 12: And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne.

John 19: 26-27 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to his mother, "Woman, behold your son!" Then he said to the disciple, "Behold, your mother!" And from that hour the disciple took her into his own household.

Acts 12: 12 And when he realized this he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.

Micah 5: 3-5 Therefore, he will give them up until the time when she who is in labor has born a child. Then the remainder of his brethren will return to the sons of Israel. And he will arise and Shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they will remain, because at that time he will be great to the ends of the earth. And this one will be our peace.

REVELATIONS 12: And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared_by God, so that there she might be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.

REVELATIONS 12: And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.

REVELATIONS 12: And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

Daniel 7: 4 The first was like a lion and had the wings of an eagle I kept looking until its wings had been plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground, and made to stand on two feet like a man; a human mind also was given to it.

REVELATIONS 12: And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood.

REVELATIONS 12: And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth.

REVELATIONS 12: And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her off-spring, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

THE WHITE HORSEMAN ​

REVELATIONS 6: I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, "Come." And I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him; and he went out conquering, and to conquer.

REVELATIONS 8: And the first sounded, and there came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and they were thrown to the earth; and a third of the earth was burnt up, and a third of the trees were burnt up, and all the green grass was burnt up

Isaiah 46: 10-11 Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times things which have not been done, saying, my purpose will be established, and I will accomplish all my good pleasure; calling a bird of prey from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country. Truly I have spoken; truly I will bring it to pass. I have planned it, surely I will do it.

Isaiah 41:27 Formerly I said to Zion, "Behold, here they are. And to Jerusalem, I will give a messenger of good news."

Isaiah 42: 6-9 I am the Lord, I have called you in righteousness, I will also hold you by the hand and watch over you, and I will appoint you as a covenant to the people, as a light to the nations, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the dungeon, and those who dwell in darkness from the prison. I am the Lord, that is my name; I will not give glory to another, not my praise to graven images. Behold, the former things have come to pass, now I declare new things; before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.

Matthew 23:39 For I say to you, from now on you shall not see me until you say, "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"

Mark 13:10 And the gospel must first be preached to all the nations.

Isaiah 42: 1-4 Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have put my spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. He will not cry out or raise his voice, nor make his voice heard in the street. A bruised reed he will not break, and a dimly burning wick he will not extinguish; he will faithfully bring forth justice. He will not be disheartened or crushed, until he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands will wait expectantly for his law.

Isaiah 40: 9-11 Get yourself up on a high mountain, 0 Zion, bearer of good news, lift up your voice mightily, 0 Jerusalem, bearer of good news; lift it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, "Here is your God! Behold, the Lord God will come with might, with his arm ruling for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him, like a shepherd he will tend his flock, in his arm he will gather the lambs, and carry them in his bosom; he will gently lead the nursing ewes.

Isaiah 41: 2-3 Who has aroused one from the east whom he calls in righteousness to his feet? He delivers up nations before him, and subdues kings. He makes them like dust with his sword, as the wind-driven chaff with his bow. He pursues them, passing on in safety, by a way he had not been traversing with his feet.

Isaiah 42:13 The Lord will go forth like a warrior, he will arouse his zeal like a man of war. He will utter a shout, yes, he will raise a war cry. He will prevail against his enemies.

Isaiah 49: 24-27 "Can the prey be taken from the mighty man, or the captives of a tyrant be rescued?" Surely, thus says the Lord, "Even captives of the mighty man will be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; for I will contend with the one who contends with you, and I will save your sons. And I will feed your oppressors with their own flesh, and they will become drunk with their own blood as with sweet wine; and all flesh will know that I, the Lord, am your savior, and your redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob."

Isaiah 52: 13-15 Behold, my servant will prosper, he will be high and lifted up, and greatly exalted. Just as many were astonished at you, my people, so his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men. Thus he will sprinkle many nations, kings will shut their mouths on account of him; for what had not been told them they will see, and what they had not heard they will understand.

Isaiah 41:25 I have aroused one from the north, and he has come; from the rising of the sun he will call upon my name; and he will call upon rulers as upon mortar, even as the potter treads clay.

Isaiah 45: 1-7 Thus says the Lord to Cyrus his anointed, whom I have taken by the righthand, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open doors before him so that gates will not be shut: I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze, and cut through their iron bars. And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden wealth of secret places, in order that you may know that it is I, The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name. For the sake of Jacob my servant, and Israel my chosen one, I have also called you by your name; I have given you a title of honor though you have not known me. I am the Lord, and there is no other; besides me there is no God. I will guide you, through you have not known me; that men may know from the rising to the setting of the sun that there is no one besides me. I am the Lord, and there is no other, the one forming light and creating darkness, causing well-being and creating calamity; I am the Lord who does all these.

Matthew 24: 44-47 For this reason you be ready too; for the son of man is coming at an hour when you do not think he will. Who then is the faithful and sensible slave whom his master put in charge of his household to give them their food at the proper time? Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. Truly I say to. you, that he will put him in charge of all his possessions.

THE EARLY SERVANT ​

Isaiah 50: 1-3 Thus says the Lord, "Where is the certificate of divorce, by which I have sent your mother away? Or to whom of my creditors did I sell you? Behold, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away. Why was there no man when I came? When I called why was there none to answer? Is my hand so short that it cannot ransom? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, I dry up the sea with rebuke, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink for lack of water, and die of thirst. I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering."

Isaiah 59: 15-21 Now the Lord saw, and it was displeasing in his sight that there was no justice. And he saw that there was no man, and was astonished there there was no one to intercede; then his own arm brought salvation to him; and his righteousness upheld him. And he put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself with zeal as a mantle. According to their deeds, so he will repay, wrath to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the coastlands he will make recompense. So they will fear the name of the Lord from the west and his glory from the rising of the sun, for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. And a redeemer will come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, declares the Lord. And as for me, this is my covenant with them, says the Lord: "My spirit which 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 offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring's offspring," says the Lord from now and forever.

Isaiah 48: 6-11 I proclaim to you new things from this time, even hidden things which you have not known. They are created now and not long ago; and before today you have not heard them, lest you should say, "Behold, I knew them." You have not heard, you have not known. Even from long ago your ear has not been open, because I knew that you would deal very treacherously; and you have been called a rebel from birth. For the sake of my name I delay my wrath, and for my praise I restrain it for you, in order not to cut you off. Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction. For my own sake, I will act; for how can my name be profaned? And my glory I will not give another.

Isaiah 11: 1-5 Then a shoot will spring from the stem of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. And He will not judge by what His eyes see, nor make a decision by what his ears hear; but with righteousness he will judge the poor, and decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked. Also righteousness will be the belt about his loins, and faithfulness the belt about his waist.

Isaiah 53: 1-12 Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of parched ground; he has no stately form or majesty that we should look upon him, nor appearance that we should be attracted to him. He was despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and like one from whom men hide their face, he was despised and we did not esteem him. Surely our griefs he himself bore, and our sorrows he carried; yet we ourselves esteemed him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was pierced through for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; the chastening for our well being fell upon him, and by his scourging we are healed. All of us like sheep have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; but the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all to fell on him. He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to slaughter, and like a sheep that is silent before its shearers, so he did not open his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, for the transgression of my people to whom the stroke was due? His grave was assigned to be with wicked men, yet with a rich man, in his death; although he had done no violence, nor was there any deceit in his mouth. But the Lord.was pleased to crush him, putting him to grief; if he would render himself as a guilt offering, he will see his offspring, he will prolong his days, and the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in his hand. As a result of the anguish of his soul, he will see it and be satisfied; by his knowledge the righteous one, my servant, will justify the many, as he will bear their iniquities. Therefore, I will allot him a portion with the great, and he will divide the booty with the strong; because he poured out himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors.

Isaiah 61: 1-4 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the afflicted; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to captives, and freedom to prisoners; to proclaim the favorable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn, to grant those who mourn in Zion, giving them a garland instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the mantle of praise instead of a spirit of fainting. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified. Then they will rebuild the ancient ruins, they will raise up the former devastations, and they will repair the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.

Isaiah 42: 18-22 Hear, you deaf! And look, you blind, that you may see. Who is blind but my servant, or so deaf as my messenger, whom I send? Who is the Lord? You have seen many things, but you do not observe them; your ears are open, but none hears. The Lord was pleased for his righteousness' sake to make the law great and glorious. But this is a people plundered and despoiled; all of them are trapped in caves, or are hidden away in prisons; they have become a prey with none to deliver them, and a spoil, with none to say, give them back!

Isaiah 49: 1-13 Listen to me, 0 islands, and pay attention, you peoples from afar. The Lord called me from the womb; from the body of my mother he named me. And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand he has concealed me, and he has also made me a select arrow; he has hidden me in his quiver. And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will show my glory." But I said, "I have toiled in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with the Lord, and my reward with my God." And now says the Lord, who formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, in order that Israel might be gathered to him (for I am honored in the sight of the Lord, and my God is my strength), he said, "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 make you a light of the nations so that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." Thus says the Lord the redeemer of Israel, and its Holy one, to the despised one, to the one abhorred by the nations, to the servant of rulers, "Kings shall see and arise, princes shall also bow down; because of the Lord who is faithful, the Holy one of Israel who has chosen you." Thus says the Lord, " In a favorable time I have answered you, and in a day of salvation I have helped you; and I will keep you and give you for a covenant of the people, to restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages; saying to those who are bound, 'go forth, to those who are in darkness, show yourselves.' Along the roads they will feed, and their pasture will be on all bare heights. "They will not hunger or thirst, neither will the scorching heat or sun strike them down; for he who has compassion on them will lead them, and will guide them to springs of water. And I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways will be raised up. Behold, these shall come from afar; and these will come from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Sinim." Shout for joy, 0 heavens! and rejoice, 0 earth! Break forth into joyful shouting, 0 mountains! For the Lord has comforted his people, and will have compassion on his afflicted.

THE LORD'S SACRIFICE ​

Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest of the Negev, hear the word of the Lord; thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it shall consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched, and the whole surface from south to north will be burned by it. And all flesh will see that I, the Lord, have kindled it; it shall not be quenched.

Ezekiel 12: 24-28 For there will no longer be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I, the Lord, shall speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, 0 rebellious house, I shall speak the word and perform it, declares the Lord God. Furthermore, the word of the Lord came to me saying, "Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.' Therefore say to them, thus says the Lord God, 'None of my words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,' declares the Lord God.

Ezekiel 13:21 I will also tear off your veils and deliver my people from your hands, and they will no longer be in your hands to be hunted; and you will know that I am the Lord! Because you disheartened the righteous with falsehood when I did not cause him grief, but have encouraged the wicked not to turn from his wicked way and preserve his life, therefore you women will no longer see false visions or practice divination, and I will deliver my people out of your hand. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.

Zephaniah 1: 4-6 So I will stretch out my hand against Judah and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the names of the idolatrous priests along with the priests. And those who bow down and swear to the Lord and yet swear by Milcom, and those who have turned back from following the Lord, and those who have not sought the Lord or inquired of him.

Jeremiah 9:25 Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, that I will punish all who are circumcised and yet uncircumcised.

Ezekiel 14: 21-23 For thus says the Lord God, how much more when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem; sword, famine, wild beasts, and plague to cut off man and beast from it! Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come forth to you and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it. Then they will comfort you when you see their conduct and actions, for you will know that I have not done in vain whatever I did to it, declares the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 33: 1-5 And the word of the Lord came to me saying, Son of man, speak to the sons of your people, and say to them, if I bring a sword upon a land, and the people of the land take one man from among them and make him their watchman; and he sees the sword coming upon the land, and he blows on the trumpet and warns the people, then he who hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, and a sword come and takes him away, his blood will be on his own head. He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood will be on himself. But had he taken warning, he would have delivered his life.

Ezekiel 33: 6-7 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and a sword comes and takes a person from them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require from the watchman's hand. Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from my mouth, and give them warning from me.

Ezekiel 3: 18-19 When I say to the wicked, you shall surely die; and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand. Yet if you have warned the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.

Zephaniah 1: 7-13 Be silent before the Lord God! For the day of the Lord is near, for the Lord has prepared a sacrifice, he has consecrated his guests. Then it will come about on the day of the the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all who clothe themselves with foreign garments. And I will punish on that day all who leap on the temple threshold, who fill the house of their Lord with violence and deceit. And on that day, declares the Lord, there will be the sound of a cry from the fish gate, a wail from the second quarter and a loud crash from the hills. Wail, 0 inhabitants of the Mortar, for all the people of Canaan will be silenced; all who weigh out silver will be cut off. And it will come about at that time that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are stagnant in spirit, who say in their hearts, the Lord will not do good or evil! Moreover, their wealth will become plunder, and their houses desolate; yes, they will build houses but not inhabit them, and plant vineyards but not drink their wine.

Jeremiah 14: 13-14 But, "Ah, Lord God!" I said, "Look, the prophets are telling them, you will not see the sword nor will you have famine, but I will give you lasting peace in this place." Then the Lord said to me, "The prophets are prophesying falsehood in my name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds."

Ezekiel 9: 1-8 Then he cried out in my hearing with a loud voice saying, "Draw near, 0 executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand." And behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar. Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub on which it had been, to the threshold of the temple. And he called to the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case. And the Lord said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst." But to the others he said in my hearing, "Go through the city after him and strike; do not let your eye have pity, and do not spare. Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the Mark; and you shall start from my sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple. And he said to them, "Defile the temple and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!" Thus they went out and struck down the people in the city. Then it came about as they were striking and I alone was left, that I fell on my face and cried out saying, "Alas, Lord God! Art thou destroying the whole remnant of Israel by pouring out thy wrath on Jerusalem?"

Ezekiel 1: 9-11 Then he said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'Thy Lord has forsaken the land, and the Lord does not see!' But as for me, my eye will have no pity nor shall I spare, but I shall bring their conduct upon their heads." Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as thou hast commanded me."

Ezekiel 10: 2-7 And he spoke to the man clothed in linen and said, "Enter between the whirling wheels under the cherubim, and fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and scatter them over the city." And he entered in my sight. Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered, and the cloud filled the inner court. Then the glory of the Lord went up from the cherub to the threshold of the temple, and the temple was filled with the cloud, and the court was filled with the brightness of the glory of the Lord. Moreover, the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks. And it came about when he commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel. Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim , took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

Ezekiel 10: 18-19 Then the glory of the Lord departed from the threshold of the temple and stood over the cherubim. When the cherubim departed, they lifted their wings and rose up from the earth in my sight with the wheels beside them; and they stood still at the entrance of the east gate of the Lord's house. And the glory of the God of Israel hovered over them.

Isaiah 19: 16-25 In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he is going to wave over them. And the land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the Lord of hosts which he is purposing against them. In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the Lord of hosts; one will be called the City of Destruction. In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord near its border. And it will become a sign and a witness to the Lord 'of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the Lord because of oppressors, and he will send them a Savior and a Champion, and he will deliver them. Thus the Lord will make himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the Lord in that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the Lord and perform it. And the Lord will strike Egypt, striking but healing; so they will return to the Lord, and he will respond to them and will heal them. In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. In that day Israel will be· the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, "Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance."

Isaiah 19: 1-4 Behold, the Lord is riding on a swift cloud, and is about to come to Egypt; the idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence, and the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them. So I will incite Egyptians against Egyptians; and they will each fight against his brother, and each against his neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; and will confound their strategy, so that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead, and to mediums and spiritualists. Moreover, I will deliver the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel master, and a mighty king will rule over them, declares the Lord·God of hosts.

Ezekiel 17: 17-24 And Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company will not help him in the war, when they cast up mounds and build siege walls to cut off many lives. Now he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and behold, he pledged his allegiance, yet did all these things; he shall not escape. Therefore, thus says the Lord God, as I live, surely my oath which he despised and my covenant which he broke, I will inflict on his head. And I will spread my net over him, and he will be caught in my snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful acts which he has committed against me. And all the choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I,the Lord, have spoken. Thus says the Lord God, I shall also take a sprig from the lofty top of the cedar and set it out; I shall pluck from the topmost; of its young twigs a tender one, and I shall plant it on a high and lofty mountain. On the high mountain of Israel I shall plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit, and become a stately cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches. And all the trees of the field will know that I am the Lord; I bring down the high tree, exalt the low tree, dry up the green tree, and make the dry tree flourish. I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will perform it.

Isaiah 19: 5-7 And the waters from the sea will dry up, and the river will be parched and dry. And the canals will emit a stench, the streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up; the reeds and rushes will rot away. The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile and all the sown fields by the Nile will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

Some parts get preachy, but the warning/hint was to not add or take away anything, so I had to include many things that anticipated the future, including that which did not blow sunshine up the skirts of all. This is why I was hesitant for so long.

My version of the puzzle may not be the only one and others are welcome to adjust the puzzle pieces. Some may even feed all the pieces to AI and see how it assembles. The entire prophecy puzzle is about 4-5 times larger. There were a lot of pieces that needed a place.

The main job of the Servant is to gather the lost eleven tribes of Israel, who have been scattered everywhere. Before this can happen, the land of Israel will need to be straighten out and cleaned up. Then there is a blessing and excitement as the lost sheep converge onto Israel. A beat down comes first, and then there is a building back up, like boot camp. This is the first act.

WARNINGS ​

Isaiah 58:1 Cry loudly, do not hold back, raise your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

Micah 3:8 On the other hand I am filled with power with the spirit of the Lord and with justice and courage to make known to Jacob his rebellious act, even to Israel his sin.

Jeremiah 3: 11-13 And the Lord said to me, faithless Israel has proved herself more righteous than treacherous Judah. Go, and proclaim these words toward the north and say, return, faithless Israel, declares the Lord; I will not look upon you in anger. For I am gracious, declares the Lord; I will not be angry forever. Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the Lord your God and have scattered your favors to the strangers under every green tree, and you have not obeyed my voice, declares the Lord.

Hosea 14: 1-2 Return, 0 Israel, to the Lord your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. Take words with you and return to the Lord. Say to him, take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously, that we may present the fruit of our lips.

Isaiah 54: 9-10 For this is like the days of Noah to me; then I swore that the waters of Noah should not flood the earth again, so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you, nor will I rebuke you. For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake, but my loving kindness will not be removed from you, and my covenant of peace will not be shaken, says the Lord who has compassion on you.

Isaiah 51: 21-23 Therefore, please hear this, you afflicted, who are drunk, but not with wine: thus says your Lord, the Lord, even your God who contends for his people, behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of reeling; the chalice of my anger, you will never drink it again. And I will put it into the hand of your tormentors, who have said to you, lie down that we may walk over you. You have even made your back like the ground, and like the street for those who walk over it.

Isaiah 57: 14-21 And it shall be said, build up, build up, prepare the way, remove every obstacle out of the way of my people. For thus says the high and exalted one who lives forever, whose name is holy, dwell on a high and holy place, and also with the contrite and lowly of spirit in order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of those whom I have made. Because of the iniquity of his unjust gain I was angry and struck him; I hid my face and was angry. And he went on turning away, in the way of his heart. I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will lead him and restore comfort to him and to his mourners, creating the praise of the lips. Peace, peace to him who is far and to him who is near, says the Lord, and will heal him. But the wicked are like the tossing sea, for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up refuse and mud. There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.

FAST OF RIGHTEOUSNESS​

Isaiah 56: 1-2 Thus says the Lord, "Preserve justice, and do righteousness, for my salvation is about to come and my righteousness to be revealed. How blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who takes hold of it; who keeps from profaning the sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil."

Isaiah 58: 6-12 Is this not the fast which I chose, to loosen the bonds of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke, and to let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke? Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry, and bring the homeless poor into the house; when you see the naked, to cover him; and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light will break out like the dawn, and your recovery will speedily spring forth; and your righteousness will go before you; the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry, and he will say, here I am. If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness, and if you give yourself to the hungry, and satisfy the desire of the afflicted then your light will rise in darkness, and your gloom will become like midday. And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desires in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail. And those from among you will rebuild the ancient ruins; you will raise up the age-old foundations; and you will be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of the streets in which to dwell.

THE SERVANT WILL GATHER THE CHILDREN ​

Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that fears the Lord, that obeys the voice of his servant, that walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.

Isaiah 14:1 Then the Lord will have compassion on Jacob, and again choose Israel, and settle them in their own land, then strangers will join them and attach themselves to the house of Jacob.

Isaiah 49: 22-23 Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my standard to the peoples; and they will bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters will be carried on their shoulders. And kings will be your guardians, and their princesses your nurses. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of your feet; and you will know that I am the Lord; those who hopefully wait for me will not be put to shame."

Isaiah 51:11 So the ransomed of the Lord will return, and come with joyful shouting to Zion; and everlasting joy will be on their heads. They will obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing will flee away.

Ezekiel 11: 17-21 Therefore say, thus says the Lord God, I shall gather you from the peoples and assemble you out of the countries among which you have been scattered, and I shall give you the land of Israel. When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it. And I shall give them one heart, and shall put a new spirit within them. And I shall take the heart of stone out of their flesh and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in my statutes and keep my ordinances, and do them. Then they will be my people and I shall be their God. But as for those whose hearts go after detestable things and abominations, I shall bring their conduct down onto their heads, declares the Lord God.

THE COVENANT ​

Romans 9: 6-8 For they are not all Israel; who are descended from Israel; neither are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, that is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.

Isaiah 46: 3-4 Listen to me, 0 House of Jacob, and all the remnant of the House of Israel, you who have been borne by me from birth, and have been carried from the womb; even to your old age, I shall be the same, and even to your graying years I shall bear you! I have done it, and I shall carry you; and I shall bear you, and I shall deliver you.

Isaiah 54: 1-3 For the sons of the desolate one will be more numerous than the sons of the married woman, says the Lord. Enlarge the place of your tent; stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, spare not; lengthen your cords, and strengthen your pegs. For you will spread abroad to the right and to the left. And your descendants will possess nations, and they will resettle the desolate cities.

Ezekiel 16: 60-63 Nevertheless, I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you, then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant. Thus I will establish my covenant with you, and you shall know that I am the Lord, in order that you may remember and be ashamed, and never open your mouth any more because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done, the Lord God declares.

Acts 10: 34-35 I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality. But in every nation the man who fears him and does what is right, is welcome to him.

Peter I 2: 9-10 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light; for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God;' you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.

Isaiah 30: 20-22 Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, he, your teacher, will no longer hide himself, but your eyes will behold your teacher. And your ears will hear a word behind you, this is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right or to the left. And you will defile your graven images, overlaid with silver, and your molten images plated with gold. You will scatter them as an impure thing; and say to them, begone!

Isaiah 43: 1-7 But now, thus says the Lord, your creator, 0 Jacob, and he who formed you, 0 Israel, do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, nor will the flame burn you. For I am the Lord your God, the holy one of Israel, your savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. Since you are precious in my sight, since you are honored and I love you, I will have other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, and gather you from the west. I will say to the north, give them up! and to the south, do not hold them back. Bring my sons from afar, and my daughters from the ends of the earth, everyone who is called by my name, and whom I have created for my glory, whom I have formed, even whom I have made.

Ezekiel 37:19 Say to them, 'thus says the Lord God, "behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his companions; and I will put them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in my hand.

Haggai 2: 4-7 But now take courage, Zerubbabel, declares the Lord, take courage also, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all you people of the land take courage, declares the Lord, and work; for I am with you, says the Lord of Hosts. As for the promise which I made you when you came out of Egypt, my spirit is abiding in your midst; do not fear! For thus says the Lord of Hosts, once more in a little while, I am going to shake the heavens and the earth, the sea also and the dry land. And I will shake all the nations; and they will come with the wealth of all nations; and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of Hosts.

Isaiah 60: 15-16 Whereas you have been forsaken and hated with no one passing through, I will make you an everlasting pride, a joy from generation to generation. You will also suck the milk of nations, and will suck the breast of kings; then you will know that I, the Lord, am your savior, and your redeemer, the mighty one of Jacob.

Ezekiel 36: 6-11 Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys. Thus says the Lord God, "Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations." Therefore, thus says the Lord God, "I have sworn that surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their insults. But you, 0 mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for my people Israel; for they will soon come. For, behold, I am for you, and 1 will turn to you, and you shall be cultivated and sown. And I will multiply men on you, and the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. And I will multiply on you man and beast; and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as you were formerly and will treat you better than at the first. Thus you will know that I am the Lord."

Jeremiah 3: 17-18 At that time they shall call Jerusalem 'the throne of the Lord,' and all the nations will be gathered to it, for the name of the Lord in Jerusalem; nor shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart. In those days the house of Judah will walk with the house of Israel, and they will come together from the land of the north to the land that I gave your fathers as an inheritance.

CLEANSE AND HEAL​

Isaiah 43: 24-25 You have bought me no sweet cane with money, neither have you fill me with the fat of your sacrifices; rather you have burdened me with your sins, you have wearied me with your iniquities. I even I, am the one who wipes out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

Isaiah 48: 17-19 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 in the way you should go, if only you had paid attention to my commandments!

Your descendants would have been like the sand, and your offspring like its grains; their name would never be cut off or destroyed from my presence.

Ezekiel 37: 11-14 Then he said to me, "Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel; behold, they say, 'our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished. We are completely cut off.'

Then you will know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves and caused you to come up out of your graves, my people.

And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me.

Ezekiel 20: 39-44 As for you, 0 house of Israel, thus says the Lord God: go serve everyone his idols; but later, you will surely listen to me, and my holy name you will profane no longer with your gifts and with your idols.

As a soothing aroma I shall accept you, when I bring you out from the people and gather you from the lands where you are scattered; and I shall prove myself holy among you in the sight of the nations. And you will know that I am the Lord, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land which I swore to give to your forefathers. And there you will remember your ways and all your deeds, with which you have defiled yourselves; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all the evil things that you have done.

For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you will be careful to observe my ordinances. And you will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be my people, and I will be your God. Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I will not bring a famine on you. And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, that you may not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations.

Isaiah 45: 22-25 Turn to me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.

In the Lord all the offspring of Israel will be justified, and will glory.

Isaiah 44: 21-23 Remember these things, 0 Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I have formed you, you are my servant, 0 Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

Jeremiah 16: 14-15 Therefore behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when it will no longer be said, as the Lord lives, who brought up the Sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt, but, as the Lord lives, who brought up the Sons of Israel from the land of the north and from all the countries where he had banished them. For I will restore them to their own land which I gave to their fathers.

Ezekiel 34: 11-16 For thus says the Lord God, behold, I myself will search for my sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for my sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. I will feed them in a good pasture and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down in good grazing ground, and they will feed in the rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed my flock and I will lead them to rest, declares the Lord God. I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken, and strengthen the sick but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment.

Ezekiel 37: 21-23 And say to them, 'thus says the Lord God, "behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations where they have gone, and I will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israeli and one king will be king for all of them; and they will no longer be two nations, and they will no longer be divided into two kingdoms. And they will no longer defile themselves with their idols, or with their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. And they will be my people, and I will be their God.

Jeremiah 32: 37-39 Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands to which I have driven them in my anger, in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them back to this place and make them dwell in safety and they shall be my people, and I will be their God and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me always, for their own good, and for the good of their children after them.

Isaiah 11: 11-13 Then it will happen on that day that the Lord will again recover the second time with his hand the remnant of his people, who will remain, from Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush Elam, Shinar, Hamath, and from the islands of the sea. And he will lift up a standard for the nations, and will assemble the banished ones of Israel, and will gather the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. Then the jealousy of Ephraim will depart, and those who harass Judah will be cut off; Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah, and Judah will not harass Ephraim.

Zechariah 8: 7-8 Thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold, I am going to save my people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; and I will' bring them back, and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem, and they will be my people and I will be their God in truth and righteousness."

Jeremiah 31: 8-9 Behold, I am bringing them from the north country, and I will gather them from the remote parts of the earth, among them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; a great company, they shall return here. With weeping they shall come, and by supplication I will lead them.' I will make them walk by streams of waters, on a straight path in which they shall not stumble for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first-born.

Micah 2:12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; like a flock in the midst of its pasture they will be noisy with men.

Jeremiah 30:3 for, behold, days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will restore the fortunes of my people Israel and Judah. The Lord says, I will also bring them back to the land that I gave to their forefathers, and they shall possess it.

Isaiah 56: 6-8 Also the foreigners who join themselves to the Lord, to minister to him, and to love the name of the Lord, to be his servants, everyone who keeps from profaning the sabbath, and holds fast my covenant; even those I will bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices will be called a house of-prayer for all the peoples. The Lord God, who gathers the dispersed of Israel, declares, yet others I will gather to them, to those already gathered.

 

[wellwisher]

While I was reading the section; Cleanse and Heal, although most of these quotes are from the Old Testament, I noticed many of these prophesies basically promised something like the forgiveness of Sins. Forgiveness of sins is normally associated with Jesus. But the text was written long before Jesus. It makes me wonder if Jesus, as the Son of God, was Lord back then. He then incarnates into the future as a man, to expand the message of the forgiveness of sins to others. Jesus said nobody has seen the Father except the Son and whomever the son chooses. What was thought to be the Father, may have been the Son; Lord. The prophesy puzzle overlaps past, present and future, but not sequentially as history. This is possible where space and time are not connected.

Jeremiah 33: 6-9 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them; and I will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth, and I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and I will rebuild them as they were at first. And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me, and by which they have transgressed against me. And it shall be to me a name of joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do for them, and they shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the peace that I make for it.

REBUILD JERUSALEM ​

Isaiah 52: 7-12 How lovely on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who announces peace and brings good news of happiness, who announces salvation, and says to Zion, "Your God Reigns!" Listen! Your watchmen lift up their voices, they shout joyfully together; for they will see with their own eyes when the Lord restores Zion. Break forth, shout joyfully together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the Lord has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem. The Lord has bared his holy arm in the sight of all the nations; that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there, touch nothing unclean; go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the Lord. But you will not go out in haste, nor will you go as fugitives; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.

Daniel 9: 24-25 Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city to finish the transgression, to make an end of all sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy place. So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress. Then after the sixty-two weeks the messiah will be cut off and have nothing.

Isaiah 44: 26-28 Confirming the word of his servant, and performing the purpose of his messengers. It is I who says of Jerusalem, she shall be inhabited! And of the cities of Judah, they shall be built. And I will raise up her ruins again. It is I who says to the depth of the sea, be dried up! And I will make your rivers dry. It is I who says of Cyrus, he is my shepherd! And he will perform all my desire. And he declares of Jerusalem, she will be built, and of the temple, your foundation will be laid.

Zechariah 4: 9-10 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven will be glad when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel - these are the eyes of the Lord which range to and fro throughout the earth.

Isaiah 45:13 And I have aroused him in righteousness, and I will make all his ways smooth; he will build my city, and will let my exiles go free, without any payment or reward, says the Lord of hosts.

Zechariah 6:15 And those who are far off will come and build the temple of the Lord. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place, if you completely obey the Lord your God.

BUILD THE CHILDREN​

Isaiah 49: 14-21 But Zion said, "The Lord has forsaken me, and the Lord has forgotten me.- Can a woman forget her nursing child, and have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you. Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms my hands; your walls are continually before me. Your builders hurry; your destroyers and devastators will depart from you. Lift up your eyes and look around; all of them gather together, they come to you. As I live, declares the Lord, you shall surely put on all of them as jewels, and bind them on as a bride. For your waste and desolate places, and your destroyed land surely now you will be too cramped for the inhabitants,

Ezekiel 36: 33-38 Thus says the Lord God, "on the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. And the desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passed by. And they will say, 'this desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste, desolate, and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.' Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken and will do it." Thus says the Lord God, this also I will let the house of Israel ask me to do for them: I will increase their men like a flock. Like the flock for sacrifices, like the flock at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so will the waste cities be filled with flocks of men. Then they will know that I am the Lord."

Isaiah 60:10 And foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will minister to you; for in my wrath I struck you, and in my favor I have had compassion on you.

Jeremiah 30: 18-19 Thus says the Lord, "Behold, I will restore the fortunes of the tents of Jacob and have compassion on his dwelling places; and the city shall be rebuilt on its ruins, and the palace shall stand on its rightful place. And from them shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of those who make merry; and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; I will also honor them, and they shall not be insignificant."

Zechariah 1: 16-17 Therefore, thus says the Lord, I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; my house will be built in it, declares the Lord of hosts, and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem. Again, proclaim, saying, ~thus says the Lord of hosts, "My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and the Lord will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem, and those who swallowed you will be far away. The children of whom you were bereaved will yet say in your eyes, the place is too cramped for me; make room for me that I may live here. Then you will say in your heart, who has begotten these for me, since I have been bereaved of my children, and am barren, an exile and a wanderer. And who has reared these? Behold, I was left alone; from where did these come?

Amos 9: 11-12 In that day I will raise up the fallen booth of David, and wall up its breaches, I will also raise up its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old; that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations who are called by my name, declares the Lord who does this.

CULTIVATE​

Amos 9: 14-15 Also I will restore the captivity of my people Israel, and they will rebuild the ruined cities and live in them, they will also plant vineyards and drink their wine, and make gardens and eat their fruit. I will also plant them on their land, and they will not again be rooted out from their land which I have given them says the Lord your God.

This ends the first Act. The Servant/White Horseman has prepared the way, getting things ready for the Red Horseman. The Red Horseman is like refiner's fire; red and emotions, and fullers soap. He has a sharp sword; logic, and his fiery emotions, used to cleanse the children and challenge the status quo with the help of the Lord.

THE RED HORSEMAN AND SWORD ​

REVELATIONS 6: And when He broke the second seal, I heard the second living creature saying, "Come." And another, a red horse, went out; and to him who sat on it, it was granted to take peace from the earth, and that men should slay one another; and a great sword was given to him.

REVELATIONS 8: and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea; and a third of the sea became blood; and a third of the creatures, which were in the sea and had life, died; and a third of the ships were destroyed.

NATIONS WILL GATHER​

REVELATIONS 11: And there was given me a measuring rod like a staff; and someone said, "Rise and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and those who worship in it.

REVELATIONS 11: "And leave out the court which is outside the temple, and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.

Jeremiah 23: 2-6 Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending my people: You have scattered my flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am about to attend to you for the evil of your deeds, declares the Lord. Then I myself shall gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and shall bring them back to their pasture; and they will be fruitful and multiply. I shall also raise up shepherds over them and they will not be afraid any longer, nor be terrified, nor will any be missing declares the Lord. Behold, the days are corning, declares the Lord, when I shall raise up for David a righteous Branch; and he will reign as king and act wisely and do justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely; and this is his name by which he will be called, the Lord our righteousness.

Isaiah 41: 8-16 But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, Descendant of Abraham my friend, you whom I have taken from the ends of the earth and called from its remotest parts, and said to you, you are my servant I have chosen you and not rejected you. Do not fear, for I am with you; do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Behold, all those who are angered at you will be shamed and dishonored; those who contend with you will be as nothing and will perish. You will seek those who quarrel with you, but will not find them, those who war with you will be as nothing, and non-existent. For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand, who says to you, do not fear, I will help you. Do not fear, your worm Jacob, you men of Israeli I will help you, declares the Lord, and your redeemer is the Holy one of Israel. Behold, I have made you a new, sharp threshing sledge with double edges; you will thresh the mountains, and pulverize them, and will make the hills like chaff. You will winnow them, and the wind will carry them away, and the storm will scatter them; but you will rejoice in the Lord, you will glory in the Holy one of Israel.

Jeremiah 31:27 Behold, days are corning, declares the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beast.

Isaiah 43: 8-10 Bring out the people who are blind, even though they have eyes, and the deaf, even though they have ears. All the nations have gathered together in order that the peoples may be assembled. Who among them can declare this and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses that they may be justified, or let them fear and say, "It is true". You are my witnesses, declares the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, in order that you may know and believe me, and understand that I am He. Before me there was no God formed, and there will be none after me.

Zechariah 2: 1-13 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is." And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him, and said to him, "Run, speak to that young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. For I declared the Lord, will be the wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst. Ho there! Flee from the land of the north, declares the Lord, for I have dispersed you as the four winds of the heavens, declares the Lord. Ho, Zion! Escape, you who are living with the daughter of Babylon. For thus says the Lord of hosts, "after glory he has sent me against the nation which plunder you, for he who touches you, touches the apple of his eye. For behold, I will wave my hand over them, so that they will be plunder for their slaves. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me. Sing for joy and be glad, 0 daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst, declares the Lord. And many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become my people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you. And the Lord will possess Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord; for he is aroused from his holy habitation.

THE MESSENGER ​

Malachi 3: 1-4 Behold, I am going to send my messenger, and he will clear the way before me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts. But who can endure the day of his coming? And who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. And he will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the Lord offerings in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in the days of old and as the former years.

Isaiah 60: 1-5 Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will rise upon you, and his glory will appear upon you. And nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. Lift up your eyes round about, and see; they all gather together, they come to you. Your sons will come from afar, and your daughters will be carried in their arms. Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will thrill and rejoice; because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

THE BRANCH ​

Zechariah 6: 11-13 And take silver and gold, make an ornate crown, and set it on the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Then say to him, thus says the Lord of hosts, "Behold, a man whose name is Branch, for he will branch out from where he is; and he will build the temple of the Lord. Yes, it is he who will build the temple of the Lord, and he who will bear the honor and sit and rule on his throne. Thus, he will be a priest on his throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the two offices.

Jeremiah 30: 21-22 And their leader shall be one of them, and their ruler shall be come forth from their midst; and I will bring him near, and he shall approach me; for who would dare to risk his life to approach me? declares the Lord. And you shall be my people, and I will be your God.

Zechariah 3: 8-10 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you - indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold I am going to bring in my servant the Branch. For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, everyone of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.

Jeremiah 33: 14-18 Behold, days are coming declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and the house of Judah. In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous branch of David to spring forth; and he shall execute justice and righteousness on the earth. In those days Judah shall be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety; and this is the name by which she shall be called: the Lord is our righteousness. For thus says the Lord, David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel; and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to prepare sacrifices continually.

Isaiah 32:1 Behold, a king will reign righteously, and princes will rule justly.

Hosea 1: 10-11 Yet the number of the sons of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered; and it will come about that in the place where it is said to them, you are not my people, it will be said to them, you are the sons of the living God. And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel will be gathered together, and they will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.

Hosea 2: 21-23 And it will come about in that day that I will respond, declares the Lord. I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth, and the earth will respond to the grain, to the new wine, and to the oil, and they will sow her for myself in the land. I will also have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion, and I will say to those who were not my people, "You are my people!" And they will say, "Thou are my God!"

Daniel 7:5 And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, "Arise, devour much meat!"

Isaiah 44: 1-5 But now listen, 0 Jacob, my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus says the Lord who made you and formed you from the womb, who will help; you, 'do not fear, 0 Jacob my servant; and you Jeshurun whom I have chosen'. For I will pour out water on the thirsty land and streams on the dry ground; I will pour out my spirit on your offspring, and my blessing on your descendants; and they will spring up among the grass like poplars by streams of water. This one will say, I am the Lord's; and that one will calIon the name of Jacob; and another will write on his hand, belonging to the Lord, and will name Israel's name with honor.

Isaiah 42: 15-17 I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and wither all their vegetation; I will make the rivers into coastlands, and dry up the ponds. And I will lead the blind by a way they do not know, in paths they do not know I will guide them. I will make darkness into light before them and rugged places into plains. These are the things I will do, and will not leave them undone. They shall be turned back and be utterly put to shame, who trust in idols, who say to molten images, you are our gods.

THE FLYING SCROLL​

Isaiah 28: 16-19 Therefore thus says the Lord God, Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a tested stone, a costly cornerstone for the foundation, firmly placed. He who believes in it will not be disturbed. And I will make justice the measuring line, and righteousness the level; then hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the secret place. And your covenant with death shall be cancelled, and your pact shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through then you become its trampling place. As often as it passes through it will seize you.

Isaiah 28:21 For the Lord will rise up as at Mount Perazim, he will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon; to do his task, his unusual task ,and to work his work, his extraordinary work.

And I answered, "I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits and its width ten cubits." Then he said to me, "This is the curse that is going forth over the face of the whole land; surely everyone who steals will be purged away according to the writing on one side, and everyone who swears will be purged away according to the writing on the other side. I will make it go forth," declares the Lord of hosts, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of the one who swears falsely by my name; and it will spend the night within that house and consume it with its timber and stones.

THE PATROL OF THE EARTH​

Zechariah 1: 8-11 I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red sorrel, and white horses behind him. Then I said, "My Lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are." And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the Lord has sent to patrol the earth." So they answered the angel of the Lord who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet."

THE FOUNTAIN FOR SIN AND IMPURITY ​

Zechariah 13: 1-3 In that day a fountain will be opened for the house of David and for the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for sin and for impurity. And it will come about in that day, declares the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols from the land, and they will no longer be remembered; and I will also remove the prophets and the unclean spirit from the land.

THE SENSUAL ONE​

Isaiah 45: 16-17 They will be put to shame and even humiliated, all of them; the manufacturers of idols will go away together in humiliation. Israel has been saved by the Lord with an everlasting salvation; you will not be put to shame for all eternity.

Isaiah 47: 8-11 Now, then, hear this, you sensual one, who dwells securely, who says in your heart, I am and there is no one besides me. I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know loss of children. But these two things shall come on you suddenly in one day: Loss of children and widowhood. They shall come on you in full measure in spite of your many sorceries, in spite of the great power of your spells. And you felt secure in your wickedness and said, no one sees me, your wisdom and your knowledge, they have deluded you; for you have said in your heart, I am and there is no one besides me. But evil will come on you which you will not know how to charm away; and disaster will fall on you for which you cannot atone, and destruction about which you do not know will come on you suddenly.

Isaiah 32: 15-20 Until the spirit is poured out upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fertile field and the fertile field is considered as a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness will abide in the fertile field. And the work of righteousness will be peace, and the service of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. Then my people will live in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in undisturbed resting places; and it will hail when the forest comes down, and the city will be utterly laid low. How blessed will you be, you who sow beside all waters, who let out freely the ox and the donkey.

Isaiah 33: 5-6 The Lord is exalted, for he dwells on high; he has filled Zion with justice and righteousness. And he shall be the stability of your times, a wealth of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of the Lord is his treasure.

Jeremiah 31: 33-34 But this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord, I will put my law within them, and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And they shall not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, know the Lord, for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, declares the Lord, for I will forgive their iniquity and their sin I will remember no more.

Isaiah 33:24 And no resident will say ,I am sick; the people who dwell there will be forgiven their iniquity.

Isaiah 55: 1-5 Ho! Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you who have no money come, buy and eat. Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is .good, and delight yourself in abundance. Incline your ear and come to me. Listen, that you may live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, according to the faithful mercies shown to David. Behold, I have made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. Behold, you will call a nation you do not know, and a nation which knows you not will run to you, because of the Lord your God, even the Holy one of Israel; for he has glorified you.

Isaiah 65: 13-16 Behold, my servants shall eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, my servants shall drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, my servants shall rejoice, but you shall be put to shame. Behold, my servants shall shout joyfully with a glad heart, but you shall cry out with a heavy heart, and you shall wail with a broken spirit. And you will leave your name for a curse to my chosen ones, and the Lord God will slay you. But my servants will be called by another name. Because he who is blessed in the earth shall be blessed by the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my sight!

Zechariah 8: 20-23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, "It will yet be that peoples will come, even the inhabitants of many cities; and the inhabitants of one will go to another saying, 'Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the Lord, and to seek the Lord of hosts; I will also go.' So many people and mighty nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord. Thus says the Lord of hosts, 'In those days ten men from the nations of every language will grasp the garment of a Jew saying, "Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you."

THERE IS ORDER IN THE WORLD ​

Jeremiah 17: 5-8 Thus says the Lord, "Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart turns away from the Lord. For he will be like a bush in the desert and will not see when prosperity comes, but will live in stony wastes in the wilderness, a land of salt without inhabitant. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord and whose trust is the Lord. For he will be like a tree planted by the water, that extends its roots by a stream and will not fear when the heat comes; but its leaves will be green, and it will not be anxious in a year of drought nor cease to yield fruit."

Isaiah 16: 4-5 For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, oppressors have completely disappeared from the land. A throne will even be established in loving kindness, and a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David; moreover, he will seek justice and be prompt in righteousness.

Isaiah 29: 18-24 And on that day the deaf shall hear words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. The afflicted also shall increase their gladness in the Lord, and the needy of mankind shall rejoice in the Holy one of Israel. For the ruthless will come to an end, and the scorner will be finished. Indeed all who are intent on doing evil will be cut off; who cause a person to be indicted by a word and ensnare him who adjudicates at the gate, and defraud the one in the right with meaningless arguments. Therefore, thus says the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now turn pale; but when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in his midst, they will sanctify my name; indeed, they will sanctify the Holy one of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel. And those who err in mind will know the truth, and those who criticize will accept instruction.

Isaiah 35: 2-8 They will see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God. Encourage the exhausted, and strengthen the feeble. Say to those with anxious heart, take courage, fear not. Behold, your God will come with vengeance; the recompense of God will come, but he will save you. Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. Then the lame will leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb will shout for joy. For waters will break forth in the wilderness and streams in Arabah. And the scorched land will become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, its resting place, grass becomes reeds and rushes. And a highway will be there a roadway, and it will be called "the highway of holiness". The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will not wander on it.

DAVID ​

Jeremiah 30: 9-10 But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up for them. And fear not, 0 Jacob my servant, declares the Lord, and do not be dismayed, 0 Israel; for behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be quiet and at ease, and no one shall make him afraid.

Ezekiel 34: 23-26 Then I will set over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he will feed them; he will feed them himself and be their shepherd. And I, the Lord, will be their God, and my servant David will be prince among them; I, the Lord, have spoken. And I will make a covenant of peace with them and eliminate harmful beasts from the land, so that they may live securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods. And I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. And I will cause showers to come down in their season; they will be showers of blessing.

Ezekiel 37: 24-26 And my servant David will be king over them, and they will all have one shepherd; and they will walk in my ordinances, and keep my statutes, and observe them. And they shall live on the land that I gave to Jacob, my servant, in which you fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons, and their son~s sons' forever; and David my servant shall be their prince forever. And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them and multiply them and will set my sanctuary in their midst forever.

A RENOWNED PLANTING PLACE​

Isaiah 12: 3-6 Therefore you will joyously draw water from the springs of salvation. And in that day you will say, "Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name. Make them remember that his name is exalted." Praise the Lord in song, for he has done excellent things; let this be known throughout the earth. Cry aloud and shout for joy, 0 inhabitant of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy one of Israel.

Isaiah 65: 8-10 Thus says the Lord, as the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, 'Do not destroy it, for there is benefit in it' so I will act on behalf of my servants in order not to destroy all of "them. And I will bring forth offspring from Jacob, and an heir of my mountains from Judah; even my chosen ones shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell there. And Sharon shall be a pasture land for flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting place for herbs.

Isaiah 43: 11-13 I even I, am the Lord; and there is no savior besides me. It is I who have declared and saved and proclaimed, and there was no strange god among you; so you are my witness, declares the Lord, and I am God. Even from eternity I am he; and there is none who can deliver out of my hand; I act and who can reverse it?

Micah 7: 14-17 Shepherd thy people with thy scepter, the flock of thy possession which swells by itself in the woodland. In the midst of a fruitful field. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in the days of old. As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles. Nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will put their hand on their mouth, their ears will be deaf. They will lick the dust like a serpent, like reptiles of the earth. They will come trembling out of their fortresses; to the Lord our God they will come in dread, and they will be afraid before thee.

Isaiah 51: 3-5 Indeed, the Lord will comfort Zion; he will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness he will make like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody. Pay attention to me, 0 my people and give ear to me, 0 my nation; for a law will go forth from me, and I will set my justice for a light of the peoples. My righteousness is near, my salvation has gone forth, and my arms will judge the people the coastland will wait for me, and for my arm they will wait expectantly.

Ezekiel 34: 29-31 And I will establish for them a renowned planting place, and they will not again be victims of famine in the land, and they will not endure the insults of the nations any more. Then they will know that If the Lord their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, declares the Lord God. As for you, my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, you are men, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.

Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun, even to its setting, my name will be great among the nations, and in every place incense is going to be offered to my name, and a grain offering that is pure; for my name will be great among the nations, says the Lord of hosts.
