Soon,
God Almighty will make Israel, The Greatest Of The Nations.
Not
because on anything inherent in Israel itself,
But
only because God has chosen Israel to reveal Himself through,
And
because of His promises to the patriarchs of Israel.
God
Almighty will establish His Throne in Jerusalem on Mount Zion,
And
there He will rule and reign for a thousand years, the Millennium.
In
so doing, God Almighty will demonstrate to the unbelieving world
That
He alone rules over the nations and all of His Creation.
All
the remaining nations are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked;
They
are together a drop in a bucket; they are as nothing;
Worthless,
and less than nothing before the Living God,
Because
of their unbelief. (Isaiah 40:15, 17)
Jeremiah
31
'At
that time,' [the END to “Time”] Declares the Lord,
'I
WILL be the God of all the
clans of Israel
[The
Israel of God, not simply the nation Israel],
And
they will be My people.'
This
is what the Lord says:
'The
people who survive the sword will find favor in the desert;
I
WILL come to give rest to
Israel.'
[The
Millennium is the seventh day rest of God.
God
will have worked with mankind for six thousand years (six days)
And
will rest on the seventh day.]
The
Lord appeared to us in the past, saying:
'I
have loved you with and Everlasting Love;
O
have drawn you with loving-kindness.
I WILL build you up again and you will be rebuilt, O Virgin Israel.
Again
you will take up your tambourines and go out to dance with the
joyful.
Again
you will plant vineyards on the hills of Samaria;
The
farmers will plant them and enjoy their fruit.
There
will be a day when watchmen cry out on the hills of Ephraim,
'Come,
let us go up to Zion, to the Lord our God.'
This
is what the Lord says:
'Sing
for joy for Jacob;
SHOUT
FOR THE GREATEST OF THE NATIONS.
Make
your praises heard, and say,
'O
Lord, save your people, the REMNANT of Israel.'
See,
I WILL bring them from the land of the north
And
gather them from the ends of the earth.
[This
is what the Lord has done and is continuing to do.]
Among
them will be the blind and the lame
Expectant
mothers and women in labor; A great throng will return.
They
will come with weeping; they will pray as I bring them back.
I WILL lead them beside streams of water
On
a level path where they will not stumble,
Because
I AM Israel's Father, and Ephraim is My firstborn son.
Hear
the Word of the Lord, O nations;
Proclaim
it in distant coastlands:
'He
who scattered Israel will gather them
And
will watch over His flock like a Shepherd.'
For
the Lord will ransom Jacob
And
redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they.
They
will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
They
will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord--
The
grain, the new wine and the oil, the young of the flocks and herds.
They
will be like a well-watered garden,
And
they will sorrow no more.
Then
the maidens will dance and be glad, young men and old as well.
I WILL turn their mourning into gladness;
I WILL give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
I WILL satisfy the priests with abundance,
And
My people will be filled with My bounty,' Declares the Lord.
This
is what the Lord says:
'A
voice is heard in Ramah, mourning and great weeping,
Rachel
weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted,
Because
her children are no more.'
[This happened after
the birth of Christ Jesus
When king Herod had
killed all the infant males two years old and under.]
This
is what the Lord says:
'Restrain
your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears,
For
your work will be rewarded,' Declares the Lord.
They
will return from the land of the enemy.
So
there is HOPE for your future,' Declares the Lord.
Your
children will return to their own land.
'I
have surely heard Ephraim's moaning:
'You
disciplined me like an unruly calf, and I have been disciplined.
[This
speaks of Israel's history before and after resurrection of Christ
Jesus.]
Restore
me, and I will return, because You are the Lord my God.
After
I strayed, I repented; after I came to understand, I beat my breast.
I
was ashamed and humiliated
Because
I bore the disgrace of my youth.'
[Ephraim's and Israel's confession.]
[God's responce:]
Is
not Ephraim My dear son, the child in who I delight?
Though
I often speak against him, I still remember him.
Therefore
My heart yearns for him;
I
have great compassion for him,' Declares the Lord. (Jeremiah 31:1-20)
Today,
the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
Save
yourself from this corrupt generation! (Acts 2:40)
As
God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
