His Glorious Coming

 

When all the nations gather in warfare against Israel, — “then shall YHWH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when He fought in the day of battle. And His feet shall stand in that day on the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east; and the mount of Olives shall be cleft in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. And you shall flee by the valley of My mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azel; yea, you shall flee, like as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah; and YHWH my GOD shall come, and all the holy ones with You.

 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that there shall not be light; the bright ones shall withdraw themselves: but it shall be one day which is known to YHWH; not day, and not night; but it shall come to pass, that at evening time there shall be light. And it shall come to pass in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea: in summer and in winter shall it be. [About this river you read in Ezekiel 47:1-12.] And YHWH shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall YHWH be One, and His Name One. All the land shall be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she shall be lifted up, and shall dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's wine-presses. And men shall dwell therein, and there shall be no more curse; but Jerusalem shall dwell safely.

 

And this shall be the plague wherewith YHWH will smite all the peoples that have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh shall consume away while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their sockets, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from YHWH shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of His neighbor” (Zechariah 14:3-13).

 

The prophet Joel prophesied in the Name of the LORD: “Behold, in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for My people and for My heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations: and they have parted My land. Let the nations bestir themselves, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about. Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe: come, tread; for the winepress is full, the vats overflow; for their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! for the day of YHWH is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. And YHWH will roar from Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but YHWH will be a refuge to His people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel. So shall you know that I am YHWH your GOD, dwelling in Zion My holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the brooks of Judah shall flow with waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of YHWH, and shall water the valley of Shittim. Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for YHWH dwells in Zion(Joel 3:1-2, 12-21).

 

Enoch, who walked with GOD, saw the coming of Mashiach: “Behold, the Lord has come with ten thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment on all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their works of ungodliness which they have ungodly wrought, and of all the hard things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him” (Jude 14-15).

 

Our Lord Yeshua prophesied: “As the lightning comes forth from the east, and is seen even to the west; so shall be the coming of the Son of Man. Wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. But immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: and then shall appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send forth His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Mat. 24:27-31).

 

But when the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then shall He sit on the throne of His glory: and before Him shall be gathered all the nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats; and He shall set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say to them on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: for I was hungry, and you gave Me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to Me. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we You hungry, and fed You? or athirst, and gave You drink? And when saw we You a stranger, and took You in? or naked, and clothed You? And when saw we You sick, or in prison, and came to You? Then the King shall answer and say to them, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you have done it to Me.

 

Then shall He say also to them on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and His angels: for I was hungry, and you did not give Me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me not in; naked, and you clothed Me not; sick, and in prison, and you visited Me not. Then shall they also answer, saying, Lord, when saw we You hungry, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You? Then shall He answer them, saying, Verily I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it not to one of these least, you did it not to Me. And these shall go away into eternal punishment: but the righteous into eternal life” (Mat. 25:63-68).

 

When He was asked by the Jewish high priest Caiapha: “I adjure You by the living GOD, that You tell us whether You are the Mashiach, the Son of GOD, Yeshua said to him, You have said it: nevertheless I say to you, Henceforth you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

 

Then the high priest rent His garments, saying, He has spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now you have heard the blasphemy: what do you think? They answered and said, He is worthy of death. Then they spat in His face and beat Him: and some smote Him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy to us, You Mashiach: who is he that struck You?” (Mat. 26:63-68).

 

Also the apostle John saw the coming of the Lord: “Behold, He comes with the clouds; and every eye shall see him, even those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall wail because of  Him. Even so, Amen. — And I saw the heaven opened; and behold, a white horse, and He that sat on it called Faithful and True; and in righteousness He judges and wages war. And His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written which no one knows but He Himself. And He is arrayed in a garment dipped in blood: and His name is called The Word of GOD. And the armies which are in heaven followed Him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure. And out of His mouth proceeds a sharp sword, that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treads the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of GOD, the Almighty. And He has on His garment and on His thigh a name written, THE KING OF KINGS, AND THE LORD OF LORDS.

 

And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in mid heaven, Come and be gathered together to the great supper of GOD; that you may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses and of them that sit thereon, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, and small and great.

 

And I saw the beast [the coming world dictator, the antichrist], and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against Him that sat on the horse, and against His army. And the beast was taken, and with Him the false prophet who wrought the signs in His sight, wherewith He deceived them that had received the mark of the beast and them that worshipped His image: they two were cast alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone: and the rest were killed with the sword of Him that sat on the horse, even the sword which came forth out of His mouth: and all the birds were filled with their flesh. And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key of the abyss and a great chain in His hand. And He laid hold on the dragon, the old serpent, which is the Devil and Satan, and bound Him for a thousand years, and cast Him into the abyss, and shut it, and sealed it over him, that he should deceive the nations no more, until the thousand years should be finished: after this he must be loosed for a little time” (Rev. 19:11-20:3).

 

“Who is this that comes from Edom, with scarlet-colored garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in His apparel, marching in the greatness of His strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore are You red in Your apparel, and Your garments like him that treads in the winevat? I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in My wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled on My garments, and I have stained all My raiment. For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and the year of My redeemed is come. And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore My own arm brought salvation to Me; and My wrath, it upheld Me. And I trod down the peoples in My anger, and made them drunk in My wrath, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth” (Isaiah 63:1-6).

 

 

Mashiach on His Throne

 

King David saw the glorious coming of Mashiach, the Son of David: “The Spirit of YHWH spoke by me, and His word was on my tongue. The GOD of Israel said, The Rock of Israel spoke to me: One that rules over men righteously, who rules in the fear of GOD, He shall be as the light of the morning, when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, when the tender grass springs out of the earth, through clear shining after rain” (2 Sam. 23:2-4).

 

The prophet Isaiah exulted prophesying: “A throne shall be established in lovingkindness; and one shall sit thereon in truth, in the tent of David, judging, and seeking justice, and swift to do righteousness” (Isa. 16:5).

 

“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be on his shoulder: and His Name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and of peace there shall be no end, on the throne of David, and on His kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of YHWH of Hosts will perform this” (Isa. 9:6-7).

 

“Behold, a King shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in justice. And a Man shall be as a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest, as streams of water in a dry place, as the shade of a great rock in a weary land. And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken. And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly” (Isa. 32:1-4).

 

Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty: they shall behold a land that reaches afar. — Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. But there YHWH will be to us majestic, a place of broad rivers and streams, wherein shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. For YHWH is our Judge, YHWH is our Lawgiver, YHWH is our King; He will save us. Your tacklings are loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity” (Isa. 33:17, 20-24; verse 21 is the center and heart of all Isaiah).

 

The prophet Zechaiah continues to prophesy: “And it shall come to pass, that every one who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, YHWH of Hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. And it shall be, that whoso of all the families of the earth goes not up to Jerusalem to worship the King, YHWH of Hosts, on them there shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, neither shall it be on them; there shall be the plague wherewith YHWH will smite the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that go not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. In that day shall there be on the bells of the horses, HOLY to YHWH; and the pots in YHWH’S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to YHWH of Hosts; and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil therein: and in that day there shall be no more a Canaanite in the house of YHWH of Hosts” (Zechariah 14:16-21).

 

 

JerusalemHephzi-bah “My Delight is in Her

 

The prophet Jeremiah saw His glory: “Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and He shall reign as King and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness on earth. In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is His name whereby He shall be called: YHWH our Righteousness. Therefore, behold, the days come, says YHWH, that they shall no more say, As YHWH lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, As YHWH lives, who brought up and who led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all the countries whither I had driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land. Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah. In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of Righteousness to grow up to David; and He shall execute justice and righteousness on earth. In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely; and this is the name whereby she shall be called: YHWH our Righteousness.” — Here you see Jerusalem clothed in the righteousness of her Mashiach (Jer. 23:5-8 and 33:14-16).

 

Jeremiah in the dungeon comforts His people: “At that time, says YHWH, will I be the GOD of all the families of Israel, and they shall be My people. Thus says YHWH, The people that were left of the sword found favor in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went to cause him to rest. YHWH appeared of old to me, saying, Yea, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn you. Again will I build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: again shall you be adorned with your tabrets, and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry. Again shall you plant vineyards on the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall enjoy the fruit thereof. For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the hills of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion to YHWH our GOD. For thus says YHWH, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of the nations: make your praises heard, and say, O YHWH, save Your people, the remnant of Israel. Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the uttermost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travails with child together: a great company shall they return hither. They shall come with weeping; and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by rivers of waters, in a straight way wherein they shall not stumble; for I am a Father to Israel, and Ephraim is My first-born.

 

Hear the word of YHWH, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd keeps His flock. For YHWH has ransomed Jacob, and redeemed Him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. And they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow to the goodness of YHWH, to the grain, and to the new wine, and to the oil, and to the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old together; for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow. And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says YHWH” (Jer. 31:1-14). How happy we are today to see the beginning of the fulfillment of these wonderful things.

 

“And the word of YHWH of Hosts came to me, saying, Thus says YHWH of Hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath. Thus says YHWH: I am returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called The City of Truth; and the mountain of YHWH of Hosts, The Holy Mountain. Thus says YHWH of Hosts: There shall yet dwell old men and old women in the streets of Jerusalem, every man with His staff in His hand for high age. And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. Thus says YHWH of Hosts: If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, should it also be marvellous in My eyes? says YHWH of Hosts. Thus says YHWH of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country; and I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their GOD, in truth and in righteousness” (Zechariah 8:1-8).

 

At that time the Jews will be loved and honored by all the nations because of their great Messiah-King: “Thus says YHWH of Hosts: It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come peoples, and the inhabitants of many cities; and the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to entreat the favor of YHWH, and to seek YHWH of Hosts: I will go also. Yea, many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek YHWH of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of YHWH. Thus says YHWH of Hosts: In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they shall take hold of the skirt of Him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that GOD is with you” (Zechariah 8:20-23).

 

“Also the foreigners who join themselves to YHWH, to minister to Him, and to love the Name of YHWH, to be His servants, every one who keeps the sabbath from profaning it, and holds fast My covenant; even them will I bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer: their burnt-offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all peoples. The Lord YHWH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says, Yet will I gather others to him, besides his own who are gathered” (Isaiah 56:5-8).

 

Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child. Who has heard such a thing? who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children. Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? says YHWH: I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut the womb? says your GOD.

 

Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over her; that you may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that you may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. For thus says YHWH, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck thereof; you shall be borne on the side, and shall be dandled on the knees. As one whom His mother comforts, so will I comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem. And you shall see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of YHWH shall be known toward His servants; and He will have indignation against His enemies.

 

For, behold, YHWH will come with fire, and His chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render His anger with fierceness, and His rebuke with flames of fire. For by fire will YHWH execute judgment, and by His sword, on all flesh; and the slain of YHWH shall be many. And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations for an oblation to YHWH, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says YHWH, as the children of Israel bring their oblation in a clean vessel into the house of YHWH. And of them also will I take for priests and for Levites, says YHWH.

 

For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, says YHWH, so shall your seed and your name remain. And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, says YHWH. And they shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men that have transgressed against Me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring to all flesh” (Isaiah 66:7-16, 20-24).

 

The Bridegroom is in love with His bride: “For Zion's sake will I not hold My peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burns. And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory, and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of YHWH shall name. And you shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of YHWH, and a royal diadem in the hand of your GOD. You shall no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall your land any more be termed Desolate: but you shall be called Hephzi-bah, and your land Beulah; for YHWH delights in you, and your land shall be married. For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your Creator marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your GOD rejoice over you.

 

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they shall never hold their peace day nor night: you that are YHWH’S remembrancers, take you no rest, and give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth” (Isaiah 62:1-7).

 

Now take a deep look at the future glory of Jerusalem, the City of the Great King, in reading ALL of Isaiah 60. Here we quote only a part: “Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows? Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish [the far West] first, to bring your sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, for the Name of YHWH your God, and for the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you. And foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in My wrath I smote you, but in My favor have I had mercy on you. Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted. The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir-tree, the pine, and the box-tree together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious. And the sons of them that afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all they that despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The City of YHWH, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

 

Your sun shall no more go down, neither shall your moon withdraw itself; for YHWH will be your everlasting Light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended. Your people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified. The little one shall become a thousand, and the small one a strong nation; I, YHWH, will hasten it in its time” (Isaiah 60:8-14, 20-22).

 

 

Israel My Glory

 

The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem. And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of YHWH’S house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. And many peoples shall go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of YHWH, to the house of the GOD of Jacob; and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of YHWH from Jerusalem. And He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. But they shall sit every man under His vine and under His fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid: for the mouth of YHWH of Hosts has spoken it. For all the peoples walk every one in the name of his god; and we will walk in the name of YHWH our GOD for ever and ever. In that day, says YHWH, will I assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted; and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and YHWH will reign over them in mount Zion from henceforth even for ever. And you, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you shall it come, yea, the former dominion shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem(Isaiah 2:1-4; Micah 4:1-8).).

 

“In that day shall the Branch of YHWH be beautiful and glorious, and the Fruit of the Earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that He that is left in Zion, and he that remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one who is written among the living in Jerusalem; when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof, by the spirit of justice, and by the spirit of burning. And YHWH will create over the whole habitation of mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be spread a covering. And there shall be a pavilion for a shade in the day-time from the heat, and for a refuge and for a covert from storm and from rain. (Isaiah 4:2-6).

 

“And there shall be on every lofty mountain, and on every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that YHWH binds up the hurt of His people, and heals the stroke of their wound” (Isaiah 30:25-26).

 

“The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones: Who among us can dwell with the devouring Fire? who among us can dwell with everlasting burnings? He that walks righteously, and speaks uprightly; he that despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands from taking a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing of blood, and shuts His eyes from looking on evil” (Isaiah 33:14-15).

 

Isaiah rejoices in the living hope, Israel shall rejoice, let the whole creation rejoice: “Behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind. But be you glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people; and there shall be heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man who has not filled His days; for the child shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed. And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them. They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of My people, and My chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands. They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for calamity; for they are the seed of the blessed of YHWH, and their offspring with them. And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear. The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says YHWH” (Isaiah 65:17-25).

 

“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, until Shiloh [Peace Maker] come: And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples” (Gen. 49:10).

 

 

The Prince of Peace

 

King Solomon prophesied about the glorious kingdom of the Son of David, the Prince of Peace: ”He will judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice. The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness. He will judge the poor of the people, He will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor. They shall fear You while the sun endures, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations. He will come down like rain on the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. In His days shall the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more. He shall have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before Him; and His enemies shall lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute: The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea, all kings shall fall down before Him; all nations shall serve Him. For He will deliver the needy when He cries, and the poor, who has no helper. He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy He will save. He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence; and precious will their blood be in His sight: And they shall live; and to Him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: and men shall pray through Him continually; they shall bless Him all the day long. There shall be abundance of grain in the earth on the top of the mountains; the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon: and they of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His Name shall endure for ever; His Name shall sprout forth as long as the sun: and men shall bless themselves in Him; all nations shall call Him happy. Blessed be YHWH GOD, the GOD of Israel, Who only does wondrous things: and blessed be His glorious Name for ever; and the whole earth shall be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen“ (Psalm 72:2-19).

 

Zechariah prophesied: 9. “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your King comes to you; He is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on an ass, even on a colt the foal of an ass. 10. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off; and He shall speak peace to the nations: and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth” (Zech. 9:9-10).

 

Verse 9 has already been fulfilled at His first coming to Jerusalem. Had He been received in faith, He would quickly have fulfilled verse 10 also. But because He was rejected and cursed instead, verse 10 could not be fulfilled then. But GOD keeps His promise: on that day when His people repents and crowns their Mashiach as the King of Israel, then He shall indeed deliver Israel from all their enemies, put an end to war, and rule as Prince of Peace from Jerusalem over the whole earth.

 

Therefore the apostles of Yeshua preached to the inhabitants of Jerusalem: “Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, that so there may come the seasons of refreshing from the presence of the LORD; and that he may send the Mashiach who hath been appointed for you, even Yeshua: whom the heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, whereof GOD spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets that have been from of old” (Acts 3:19-21).

 

“And there shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Yishai, and a Branch out of his roots shall bear fruit. And the Spirit of YHWH shall rest on Him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of YHWH. And His delight shall be in the fear of YHWH; and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither decide after the hearing of His ears; but with righteousness shall He judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and He shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth; and with the breath of His lips shall He slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of His waist, and faithfulness the girdle of His loins. And the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the adder's den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of YHWH, as the waters cover the sea.

 

And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Root of Yishai, who stands for a Banner of the Peoples, to Him shall the nations seek; and His resting-place shall be glorious. — And He will set up a Banner for the Nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth” (Isa. 11:1-12).

 

“The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon: they shall see the glory of YHWH, the excellency of our God. — Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the glowing sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water” (Isa. 35:1-7).

 

Paradise has come to earth: “Mercy and truth are met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth springs out of the earth; and righteousness has looked down from heaven. Yea, YHWH will give that which is good; and our land shall yield its increase. Righteousness shall go before Him, and shall make His footsteps a way to walk in(Psalm 85:10-13).

 

“To this end was the Son of God manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil” (1 Joh. 3:8).

 

 

The Saints shall Reign with Mashiach

 

Daniel saw Mashiach receiving His kingdom: “I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like to a Son of Man, and He came even to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him: His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him” (Daniel 7:13-14, 18, 27).

 

“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they who are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they who turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever” (Daniel 12:2-3).

 

Yeshua Maschiach Himself spoke: “The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of His kingdom all that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears, let him hear“ (Mat. 13:41-43).

 

The apostle John describes the resurrection of the just: “And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them: and I saw the souls of them that had been beheaded for the testimony of Yeshua, and for the Word of GOD, and such as worshipped not the beast, neither his image, and received not the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they lived, and reigned with Mashiach a thousand years. The rest of the dead lived not until the thousand years should be finished. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection: over these the second death has no power; but they shall be priests of GOD and of Mashiach, and shall reign with Him as kings a thousand years(Revelation 20:4-6).

 

Yeshua spoke to His faithful disciples: “Verily I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man shall sit on the throne of His glory, you also shall sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit eternal life. But many shall be last that are first; and first that are last” (Mat. 19:28-30; Col. 3:4).

 

“I will tell of the decree: YHWH said to me, You are My Son; this day have I begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance, even the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel” (Psalm 2:7-9).

 

This absolute kingship Mashiach will share with His true followers, as He says: “He who overcomes, and he who keeps my works to the end, to him will I give authority over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron, as the vessels of the potter are broken to shivers; as I also have received of my Father: and I will give him the Morning Star” (Rev. 2:26-28).

 

Hear the holy calling of GOD: “Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed, and keep My covenant, then you shall be My own possession from among all peoples: for all the earth is Mine: and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation” (Ex. 19:5-6; and 1 Peter 2:9-10).

 

A wonderful secret: “When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when He separated the children of men, He set the bounds of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel. For YHWH’S portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance” (Deut. 32:8-9). GOD owns Israel, and Israel shall rule the nations, and GOD has decided the number of the nations, and placed their boundary marks, according to the number of sons of Israel. So you see, from the beginning GOD has prepared the Kingdom of Israel. How foolish are the bloody wars of the nations, to steal land from one another. Rivers of blood wasted!

 

Yeshua spoke this parable: “A certain Nobleman went into a far country, to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. And he called ten servants of his, and gave them ten pounds, and said to them, Trade herewith till I come. But his citizens hated him, and sent an ambassage after him, saying, We will not that this Man reign over us. And it came to pass, when he was come back again, having received the kingdom, that he commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know what they had gained by trading. And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds more. And he said to him, Well done, you good servant: because you were found faithful in a very little, you shall have authority over ten cities. And the second came, saying, Your pound, Lord, has made five pounds. And he said to him also, And you, be over five cities” (Luke 19:12-19). But what is that one pound He gave to each one of His servants? FLESMIH. May we give our lives for Him.

 

These little lambs who gave their lives for the Truth, shall inherit His kingdom, as He said: “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Mat. 5:5). And He said: “Fear not, little flock, for it has been the good pleasure of your Father to give you the kingdom” (Luke 12:32).

 

Paradise restored — and much more! As GOD placed Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden to cultivate and keep the garden, so GOD has placed Mashiach and His Shulammith to bless and keep His restored Paradise on earth. The whole creation is waiting for the revelation of that holy couple (Romans 8:19-22).

 

Who is a GOD like to You, that pardons iniquity, and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retains not His anger for ever, because He delights in lovingkindness. He will again have compassion on us; He will tread our iniquities under foot; and You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea. You will perform the truth to Jacob, and the lovingkindness to Abraham, which You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old” (Micah 7:18-20).
