Name of The Lord your God, Who hath dealt wondrously with you: and My people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am The Lord your God, and none else; and My people shall never be ashamed.

And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions; and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My Spirit.

And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the Great and the Terrible Day of The Lord come.

And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on The Name of The Lord shall be delivered [Rev. xiv. 9-13] for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as The Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom The Lord shall call.

Ezek. xxxvi. 25-29. Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My Judgments and do them.

And ye shall dwell in the Land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and increase it, and lay no famine upon you.

Isa. xiv. 5-8. . . The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Isa. xxvii. 2-6. In that Day sing ye unto her, "A vineyard of red wine!" I, The Lord, do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

Fury is not in Me: who would set the briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them to

gether. Or let him take hold of My Strength! that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.

He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit. [Rom. xi. 12, 15, If the fall (or stumbling, 11, ix. 32, 33) of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing (decay, or loss) of them, the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? And if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be but life from the dead? (Matt. xxiii. 13, xxi. 43.) In thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Gen. xii. 3.]

Isa. xxx. 18-25. And therefore will The Lord wait that He may be gracious unto you [15, "For thus saith The Lord God, The Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength:' and ye would not." xxvi. 3, 4, "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee: because he trusteth in Thee. Trust ye in The Lord for ever for in The Lord Jehovah is Everlasting Strength,-The Rock of Ages"], and therefore will He be exalted, that He may have mercy upon you: for The Lord is a God of Judgment: blessed are all they that wait for Him. For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem thou shalt weep no more: He will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when He shall hear it, He will answer thee.

And though The Lord give you the bread of adversity, and the water of affliction [oppression], yet shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers: and thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, "This is the Way, walk ye in it!" when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. Ye shall defile also the covering of the graven images of thy silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold [Hagg. ii. 8.-Rev. xiii. 17; Hab. i. 5-10; Ezek. xxviii. 2-5]: Then shall He give the rain of thy seed [the "former rain," after the heat of the harvest and vintage, to prepare the ground, softening it], that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that Day shall thy

cattle feed in large pastures. The oxen likewise and the young asses that ear the ground shall eat clean provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan. And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every high hill, rivers and streams of waters in the Day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

Isa. xxxiii. 24. And the inhabitant shall not say, "I am sick:" the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

[ocr errors]

Ps. ciii. 1-5. Bless The Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name!

Bless The Lord, O my soul! and forget not all His benefits! Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with loving-kindness and tender mercies;

Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Isa. xxxv. 3-6, 10. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees! Say to them that are of a fearful [hasty] heart, "Be strong! fear not! behold! your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; He will come and save you." 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 sing: . . And the ransomed of The Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away [li. 11].

Isa. xliv. 3-5. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour My Spirit upon thy seed, and My blessing upon thine offspring: and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water-courses. One shall say, "I am The Lord's;" and another shall call himself by The Name of Jacob; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto The Lord; and surname himself by The Name of Israel.

["The Name," in Lev. xxiv. 11; omitting, in reverence, the more explicit mention of “Jehovah,”—as, in Gen. xxxi. 42, “The Fear" of Isaac.]

Isa. lv. 1, 6-11. Ho! every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters! and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat! yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price!

Seek ye the Lord while He may be found! call ye upon Him while He is near! let the wicked forsake his way, and the man of iniquity his thoughts: and let him return unto The Lord! and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God! for He will abundantly [multiply to] pardon.

For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways, saith The Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow, from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: so shall My word be that goeth forth out of My mouth it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Isa. lxii. 8, 9. The Lord hath sworn by His Right Hand, and by The Arm of His Strength, Surely I will no more give thy corn to be meat for thine enemies; and the sons of the stranger shall not drink thy wine, for which thou hast laboured: but they that have gathered it shall eat it, and praise The Lord; and they that have brought it together shall drink it in the Courts of My Holiness.

Isa. lxv. 18, 19, 24. Be ye 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 the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

And it shall come to pass, that before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear.

and

Jer. xxxii. 39, 40. And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear Me all days, for the good of them, and of their children after them: and I will make an Everlasting Covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but will put My fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from Me.

Deut. xxxiii. 26-29. There is none like unto The God of Jeshurun, Who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in His excellency on the sky. The Eternal God is thy Refuge, and underneath are The Everlasting Arms: and He shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, "Destroy them!"

Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: The Fountain of Jacob upon a Land of corn and wine: also his heavens shall drop down dew. Happy art thou, O Israel! who is like unto thee, O people saved by The Lord! The Shield of thy Help, and Who is The Sword of thy Excellency and thine enemies shall be found liars [subdued] unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places.

LIGHT OF THE MILLENNIAL DAY.
Ps. lxxxix. 35-37.

Once have I sworn by My Holiness, that I will not lie unto David.
His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before Me.
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful
witness in heaven. Selah.

Isa. xxx. 26.'

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 The Lord bindeth up the breach of His people, And healeth the stroke of their wound.

THE MORNING OF THIS DAY; ITS CLOUDLESS SUN-RISE; ITS
GROWING LIGHT; ITS MERIDIAN GLORY; AND STILL

REMAINING LIGHT.

Prov. iv. 18.

The path of The Just is as the shining light,

That shineth more and more unto the perfect Day.
