Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things that are written therein: for the time is at hand. Revelation 1.3.
For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes. 1 Samuel 2.30
