Psalm 119:133—DIRECT my STEPS by YOUR WORD, and let NO INIQUITY have DOMINION over me. Amos 3:3—Can two WALK TOGETHER, unless they are AGREED? Acts 15:14—“Simon has declared how God at the first VISITED THE GENTILES to TAKE OUT OF THEM a PEOPLE for HIS NAME. (Is. 43:6—I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’ and to the south, ‘Do not keep them back!” Bring My sons from afar, AND MY DAUGHTERS FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH---(7) EVERYONE who is CALLED BY MY NAME, whom I HAVE CREATED for MY GLORY; I have formed him, yes, I HAVE MADE HIM.)
Returning to Acts 15:15--“And with this the words of the prophets AGREE, just as it is written: (16) ‘AFTER THIS I will RETURN and WILL REBUILD the TABERNACLE of DAVID which has FALLEN DOWN. Ps. 78:68—But chose THE TRIBE of JUDAH, (Heb.7:14—For it is evident that OUR LORD AROSE from JUDAH, of which TRIBE Moses spoke nothing CONCERNING PRIESTHOOD.) Returning to Ps. 78:68—But chose the TRIBE of JUDAH, mount ZION which He loved.
(69) And HE BUILT HIS SANCTUARY like THE HEIGHTS, like THE EARTH which He HAS ESTABLISHED FOREVER. (70) He also CHOSE DAVID His servant, and took him from the sheepfolds; (71) from following the ewes that had young He brought him, TO SHEPHERD JACOB HIS PEOPLE, and ISRAEL His INERITANCE. (Isaiah 41:8—But you, ISRAEL, are My servant JACOB, (Ps. 24:6—This is JACOB, the generation of those WHO SEEK HIM, who seek Your face.) The descendants of ABRAHAM My friend. (9) You whom I have taken from THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, and called from its farthest regions, and said TO YOU. You are My servant, I have CHOSEN YOU and have NOT cast you away.
Luke 1:32—“He (Jesus) will be great, and will be CALLED the SON of THE HIGHEST; and the Lord God will GIVE HIM the THRONE of HIS FATHER DAVID. (33) “And HE WILL REIGN over THE HOUSE of JACOB FOREVER, and of HIS KINGDOM there will be NO END.
Hebrews 8:1—Now this is THE MAIN POINT of the things we are saying: We have such a HIGH PRIEST, who is seated AT THE RIGHT HAND of the THRONE of the Majesty IN THE HEAVENS. (2) a MINISTER of the SANCTUARY and Of THE TRUE TABERNACLE which THE LORD ERECTED and NOT MAN. (3) For every HIGH PRIEST is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices. Therefore it is necessary that this One also have something TO OFFER.
(4) FOR IF HE WERE ON EARTH, HE WOULD NOT BE A PRIEST, since there are priests who offer gifts according to the law; Heb. 9:11—But Christ came as HIGH PRIEST of THE GOOD THINGS to COME, with the greater and MORE PERFECT TABERNACLE NOT MADE WITH HANDS, that is, NOT of THIS CREATION. (12) Not with the blood of goats and calves, but WITH HIS OWN BLOOD He entered the MOST HOLY PLACE once FOR ALL, having OBTAINED ETERNAL REDEMPTION. (13) For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, SANCTIFIES for THE PURIFYING of THE FLESH,
(14) how much MORE shall THE BLOOD OF CHRIST, who through the eternal Spirit OFFERED HIMSELF without spot to God, PURGE YOUR CONSCIENCE from DEAD WORKS to SERVE THE LIVING GOD? (15) And for THIS REASON He is THE MEDIATOR of THE NEW COVENANT, by means of death, for THE REDEMPTION of THE TRANSGRESSIONS UNDER THE FIRST COVENANT, that those who are called may receive THE PROMISE of the ETERNAL INHERITANCE. Is. 60:21—Also your people shall ALL be RIGHTEOUS; they SHALL INHERIT THE LAND FOREVER, the BRANCH of MY PLANTING, THE WORK of MY HANDS, that I MAY BE GLORIFIED. (22) A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a STRONG NATION. I THE LORD, will HASTEN IT IN ITS TIME.”
Returning to Acts 15:15—And with this the words of the prophets AGREE, just as it is written (16) After this I will RETURN and WILL REBUILD THE TABERNACLE of DAVID which has fallen down. I WILL REBUILD its RUINS, and I WILL SET IT UP, (17) So that THE REST of MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, EVEN ALL THE GENTILES who are CALLED BY MY NAME, says the Lord, who does ALL these THINGS. Heb. 9:28—To those who eagerly WAIT FOR HIM He will appear A SECOND TIME, APART from SIN for SALVATION.
Amos 9:9—“For surely I will command, and WILL SIFT the HOUSE of ISRAEL among ALL NATIONS, (Isaiah 41:8—But you, ISRAEL, are My servant JACOB, (Ps. 24:6—This is JACOB, the generation of those WHO SEEK HIM, who seek Your face.) The descendants of ABRAHAM My friend. Returning to Amos 9:9—For surely I will command, and will sift the house of ISRAEL among ALL NATIONS, as grain is sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground.
(10) ALL THE SINNERS of MY PEOPLE shall die by the sword, who say, THE CALAMITY shall NOT OVERTAKE US NOR CONFRONT US. (11) “On that day I WILL RAISE UP the TABERNACLE of DAVID, which has FALLEN DOWN, and REPAIR its DAMAGES; I will RAISE UP its ruins, and REBUILD IT as in the days OF OLD; (12) That they may possess THE REMNANT of EDOM, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME, says the Lord who DOES THIS THING. Skipping ahead to verse fifteen, “I WILL PLANT THEM in THEIR LAND, and NO LONGER shall they be PULLED UP from THE LAND (Promise land?) I have GIVEN them,” says the Lord your God.
(Amos 9:12—That they may possess THE REMNANT of EDOM.) Jere. 49:7—AGAINST EDOM: Amos 1:9—Thus says the Lord: “For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will NOT turn away its punishment, BECAUSE they DELIVERED UP the whole captivity TO EDOM, and DID NOT REMEMBER the COVENANT OF BROTHERHOOD. (Acts 17:24—“God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven AND earth, DOES NOT DWELL IN TEMPLES MADE WITH HANDS.
(25) “Nor is He worshiped with MEN’S HANDS, as though HE NEEDED ANYTHING, since He gives TO ALL life, breath, and ALL things. (26) And He has made from ONE BLOOD (The blood of Christ.) EVERY NATION of men to dwell on the face of the earth, and has DETERMINED their PREAPPOINTED TIMES and THE BOUNDARIES of THEIR HABITATION, (27) “So that THEY SHOULD SEEK THE LORD, in THE HOPE THAT they might GROPE for HIM and FIND HIM, though He is NOT FAR from EACH ONE OF US; Skipping ahead to verse thirty-one, “because He has APPOINTED A DAY on which HE WILL JUDGE THE WORLD IN RIGHTEOUSNESS by THE MAN whom He has ORDAINED. He has given ASSURANCE of this TO ALL BY RAISING HIM FROM THE DEAD.
Acts 13:32—And we declare to you GLAD TIDINGS—that promise which was made to the fathers. (33) “God has FULFILLED this for US their children, in THAT HE HAS RAISED UP JESUS. As it is ALSO WRITTEN in the SECOND PSALM: You are My Son, today I have begotten You. Ps. 2:6—Yet I have set My king on My holy hill of ZION. (7) I will declare the decree: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I have begotten You. (8) Ask of Me, and I will give You THE NATIONS for YOUR INHERITANCE, (Remember Esau did not care about his inheritance.) and the ends of the earth for YOUR POSSESSION. 1 Sam 2:10—The adversaries of the Lord SHALL BE BROKEN in pieces; FROM HEAVEN He will thunder against them. THE LORD WILL JUDGE THE ENDS OF THE EARTH. He will give STRENGTH to HIS KING, and EXALT the horn of HIS ANOINTED.”
Ps. 102:12—But You, O Lord shall ENDURE FOREVER, and THE REMEMBRANCE of YOUR NAME to ALL GENERATIONS. (13) YOU WILL ARISE and have MERCY on ZION; for THE TIME to favor her HAS COME. (14) For Your servants take PLEASURE IN HER STONES, 1 Peter 2:5—you also as LIVING STONES, are BEING BUILT UP a SPIRITUAL HOUSE, a holy PRIESTHOOD, to offer up spiritual sacrifices ACCEPTABLE to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Therefore it is ALSO contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I LAY IN ZION a CHIEF CORNERSTONE, elect precious, and he who believes ON HIM will BY NO MEANS be PUT TO SHAME.
Returning to Ps. 102:13--and show favor to her dust. (15) So THE NATIONS shall FEAR THE NAME of THE LORD, and ALL the KINGS of THE EARTH YOUR GLORY. (16) For THE LORD SHALL BUILD UP ZION; He shall APPEAR IN HIS GLORY. (17) He shall regard the prayer of the destitute, and shall not despise their prayer. (18) THIS WILL BE WRITTEN for THE GENERATION to COME, that a people YET TO BE CREATED may PRAISE THE LORD. (19) For HE LOOKED DOWN from THE HEIGHT of HIS SANCTURARY;
FROM HEAVEN the Lord VIEWED THE EARTH, (20) To hear the groaning of THE PRISONER, TO LOOSE those APPOINTED to DEATH, (21) TO DECLARE THE NAME of THE LORD in ZION, and HIS PRAISE in JERUSALEM, (22) when the peoples are gathered together, AND THE KINGDOMS to SERVE the Lord. (23) He weakened my strength in the way; He shortened my days. (24) I said, “O MY GOD, DO NOT TAKE ME AWAY IN THE MIDST of MY DAYS; YOUR YEARS ARE THROUGHOUT ALL GENERATIONS.
(Amos 9:12—And that they may possess the REMNANT OF EDOM.) (Genesis 36:19—These were the sons of ESAU, who IS EDOM,) Jere. 49:7--Thus says the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Temen? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom vanished? (8) Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, O inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring THE CALAMITY of ESAU upon him, the time that I will punish him. (9) If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, would they not destroy until they have enough? (10) But I have made ESAU BARE; I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself. His descendants are plundered, his brethren and his neighbors, and HE IS NO MORE. (11) LEAVE your FATHERLESS children, I WILL PRESERVE THEM ALIVE; and let your WIDOWS TRUST in ME.
Mal. 1:1—The burden of THE WORD of THE LORD to ISRAEL by MALACHI (3) “ I have loved you,” says the Lord. Yet you say, ‘IN WHAT WAY have YOU LOVED US? Was not ESAU JACOB’S brother? Says the Lord. “YET JACOB I HAVE LOVED; (3) But ESAU I HAVE HATED, and LAID WASTE his mountains and HIS HERITAGE for the jackals of THE WILDERNESS. Heb. 12:12—Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, (13) and MAKE STRAIGHT PATHS for your feet, so that what is LAME may NOT BE DISLOCATED, but RATHER HEALED. (Jacob’s hip was put out of joint when he wrestled with Him (God), leaving him an invalid or INVALID until the time of Christ.) (Eph. 1:10—that in the DISPENSATION of THE FULLNESS of THE TIMES He might GATHER together in ONE ALL THINGS in CHRIST, both which are IN HEAVEN and which are ON EARTH—in HIM.)
Returning to Heb.12:14—Pursue peace WITH ALL MEN, and HOLINESS, without which no one will see the Lord. (15) Looking diligently lest anyone FALL SHORT of THE GRACE of GOD; lest any root of bitterness springing up CAUSE TROUBLE, and by this many become defiled; (16) LEST there be ANY FORNICATOR or PROFANE person LIKE ESAU, who for one morsel of FOOD SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT. Joel 1:15—Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand; it shall come as destruction from THE ALMIGHTY. (16) IS NOT THE FOOD CUT OFF before our eyes, JOY and GLADNESS from THE HOUSE of OUR GOD.?) John 4:31—In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, “RABBI EAT.” (32) BUT He said to them, I HAVE FOOD to eat of which YOU DO NOT KNOW. (34) “MY FOOD is TO DO the WILL of Him who SENT Me, and TO FINISH HIS WORK.)
Returning to Joel 1:15—Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is at hand: It shall come as DESTRUCTION (Ps. 90:3—You TURN man to DESTRUCTION, and say, “RETURN, O children of men.) (Job 31:29—“If I have REJOICED at THE DESTRUCTION of him WHO HATED ME, or LIFTED MYSELF UP when evil found him (30) Indeed I have NOT ALLOWED my mouth TO SIN by ASKING for A CURSE ON HIS SOUL.)
Is. 10:22—For though your people, O ISRAEL, be as the sand of the sea, yet A REMNANT of them WILL RETURN; THE DESTRUCTION decreed shall OVERFLOW with RIGHTEOUSNESS.) Is. 16:5—IN MERCY THE THRONE will be ESTABLISHED; and One will sit on it IN TRUTH, in THE TABERNACLE of DAVID, JUDGING and SEEKING JUSTICE and HASTENING RIGHTEOUSNESS. Ps. 94:(15) But JUDGMENT will RETURN to RIGHTEOUSNESS, and ALL THE UPRIGHT in heart will FOLLOW IT. Pro. 2:21—For THE UPRIGHT will DWELL in THE LAND, and THE BLAMELESS will REMAIN IN IT; (22) But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, AND THE UNFAITHFUL WILL BE UPROOTED FROM IT.
Ps. 119:30—I have chosen THE WAY of TRUTH; Your JUDGMENTS I have laid before me. Is. 26:7—The WAY of the JUST is UPRIGHTNESS; O Most UPRIGHT, You weigh THE PATH of the just. (8) Yes, in THE WAY of YOUR JUDGMENTS, O Lord, we have WAITED for You; the desire of our souls is for YOUR NAME and for THE REMEMBRANCE of YOU. (9) With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will SEEK YOU EARLY; for WHEN YOUR JUDGMENTS are in THE EARTH, THE INHABITANTS of THE WORLD will LEARN RIGHTEOUSNESS.
Is. 42:6—I, the Lord, have called You IN RIGHTEOUSNESS, and will hold Your hand; I WILL KEEP YOU and GIVE YOU as A COVENANT to THE PEOPLE, as A LIGHT to THE GENTILES, (7) To open BLIND EYES, to bring out PRISONERS from THE PRISON, those who sit IN DARKNESS from THE PRISON HOUSE. Is. 45:6—I am the Lord, and there is NO OTHER, (7) I form the light and create DARKNESS, I MAKE PEACE and CREATE CALAMITY; I, the Lord, DO ALL THESES THINGS. (8)”Rain down, you heavens , from above, and let the skies pour down RIGHTEOUSNESS; let the earth open, LET THEM BRING FORTH SALVATION, and LET RIGHTEOUSNESS SPRING UP TOGETHER. I, the Lord have CREATED IT.
Ps. 119:133—Direct my steps BY YOUR WORD, (John 1:1—In the beginning was THE WORD and THE WORD was with GOD, and THE WORD was GOD. (14) and THE WORD became FLESH and dwelt among us, and we beheld HIS GLORY, the GLORY as OF THE ONLY BEGOTTEN of THE FATHER, full of GRACE and TRUTH. Skipping ahead to verse eighteen, “No one has seen God at anytime THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, who IS IN THE BOSOM of THE FATHER, He has DELARED HIM. Ps. 2:7—I Will DECLARE the decree: The Lord has said to Me, You are My Son, today I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU. ((8) Ask of Me, and I will GIVE You the nations for Your inheritance and the ends of the earth for Your possession.
Matt. 28:18--Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying, ALL AUTHORITY has been given to ME (Col. 2:10-And you are complete in Him who is THE HEAD of ALL principality and POWER.) in heaven and ON EARTH. (19) Go therefore and make disciples of ALL the NATIONS, baptizing them in the name of THE FATHER and of THE SON and of THE HOLY SPIRIT, (20) TEACHING THEM to OBSERVE ALL THINGS that I HAVE COMMANDED YOU; and lo I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS, EVEN TO THE END OF THE WORLD. (KJV)
John 15:12--"THIS is MY COMMANDMENT, that you LOVE ONE ANOTHER as I HAVE LOVED YOU. (13) 'GREATER LOVE has no one than THIS, than to LAY DOWN ONE'S LIFE for his FRIENDS. (14) You are MY FRIENDS if YOU DO whatever I COMMAND YOU. 1 John 3: 16--By THIS we KNOW LOVE, because He laid down His life for us. And WE ALSO ought to LAY DOWN OUR LIVES FOR THE BRETHREN.
1 John 4:9--In THIS the LOVE OF GOD was MANIFESTED toward us, that GOD HAS SENT HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON INTO THE WORLD, that we MIGHT LIVE through HIM. (10) In this IS LOVE, not THAT WE LOVED GOD, but that HE LOVED US and SENT HIS SON to be THE PROPITIATION for our sins. (11) Beloved, if God SO LOVED US, we ALSO ought to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. (12) No one has seen God at any time. If we LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD ABIDES IN US, and HIS LOVE has been PERFECTED in US. (13) By THIS we KNOW that WE ABIDE IN HIM and HE IN US, BECAUSE HE HAS GIVEN US OF HIS SPIRIT. (14) and we HAVE SEEN (in the word) and TESTIFY that THE FATHER has SENT the SON AS SAVIOR OF THE WORLD. (John 6:32—but MY FATHER gives you THE TRUE BREAD from heaven. (33) For THE BREAD of GOD is He who comes down from heaven and GIVES LIFE to THE WORLD.)
John 3: 16--"For God SO LOVED THE WORLD that HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON, that whoever believes IN HIM should not perish but have everlasting life. (18) For God DID NOT SEND HIS SON into the world TO CONDEMN the WORLD, but that THE WORLD through HIM might BE SAVED. (18) He who believes IN HIM is NOT CONDEMNED; but he who does NOT BELIEVE is CONDEMNED already, because he has NOT BELIEVED in the name of THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON of GOD. John 12:46—I have come as A LIGHT into THE WORLD, that whoever believes IN ME, should NOT abide IN DARKNESS. (47) And if anyone HEARS My WORDS and DOES NOT BELIEVE, I DO NOT JUDGE HIM; for I did not come to judge the world but TO SAVE THE WORLD.
