extol Him, all you peoples.
For great is His love toward us,

endures forever.

This is what the Lord says, He Who appoints the sun to shine by day,
Who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, Who stirs up the sea
so that its waves roar- the Lord the Almighty is His name:
“Only if these decrees vanish from My sight,” declares the Lord, “will the
descendants of Israel ever cease to be a nation before Me.”
ThisĀ is what the Lord says: “Only if the heavens above can be measured
and the foundations of the earth below be searched out will I reject all the
descendants of Israel because of all they have done,” declares the Lord.
(Jeremiah 31.35-37).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will now bring Jacob back from
captivity and will have compassion on all the people of Israel, and I will be zealous
for My holy name. They will forget their shame and all the unfaithfulness they showed
toward Me when they lived in safety in their land with no one to make themĀ afraid.
When I have brought them back from the nations and have gathered them from the
countries of their enemies, I will show Myself holy through them in the sight of many
nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God, for though I sent them into
exile among the nations, I will gather them to their own land, not leaving any behind.
I will no longer hide My face from them, for I will pour out My Spirit on the house of
Israel, declares the Sovereign Lord.
(Ezekiel 39.25-29).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
The burden of the word of the Lord concerning Israel:
Thus says the Lord, Who stretches out the heavens and
lays the foundation of the earth and forms the Spirit of man
within him:
Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of reeling to all the peoples
round about, and in the siege against Jerusalem will there also be
a siege against and upon Judah.
And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all
peoples; all who burden themselves with it shall be sorely wounded.
And all the nations of the earth shall come and gather together
against it.
In that day, says the Lord, I will smite every horse with terror and
panic and his rider with madness; and I will open My eyes and regard
with favor the house of Judah and I will smite every house of the
opposing nations with blindness.
And the chiefs of Judah shall say in their hearts, The inhabitants of
Jerusalem are our strength in the Lord of hosts, their God.
In that day will I make the chiefs of Judah like big, blazing pot among
sticks of wood and like a flaming torch among sheaves of grain, and they
shall devour all the peoples round about, on the right and on the left;
and they of Jerusalem shall yet again dwell securely in their own place,
in Jerusalem.
And the Lord shall save and give victory to the tents of Judah first, that
the glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem
may not be magnified above Judah.
In that day will the Lord guard and defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and
he who is feeble and stumbles among them in that day shall become strong
like David; and the house of David like God, like the angel of the Lord Who is
before them.
And it shall be in that day that I will make it my aim to destroy all the nations
that come against Jerusalem.
And I will pour out upon the house of David and upon the inhabitants of
Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication. And they shall look upon
Me Whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him as one mourns
for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for Him as one who is in bitterness
for his firstborn.
(Zechariah 12.1-10).
HALLELUJAH! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOREVERMORE!
“Great and important and weighty, we confess,
is the hidden truth of godliness.
God was made visible in human flesh, justified
and vindicated in the Holy Spirit, was seen by
angels, preached among the nations, believed
on in the world, and taken up in glory.”
(I. Timothy 3.16)
HALLELUJAH! WE PRAISE YOU LORD JESUS
FOREVERMORE!
