Zechariah 7Zechariah 8Revelation 19.1-10Zechariah 7
1
And it came to pass in the fourth year of king Darius, [that] the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah in the fourth [day] of the ninth month, [even] in Chisleu
2
When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men, to pray before the LORD,
3
[And] to speak unto the priests which [were] in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years?
4
Then came the word of the LORD of hosts unto me, saying,
5
Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh [month], even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, [even] to me?
6
And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, did not ye eat [for yourselves], and drink [for yourselves]?
7
[Should ye] not [hear] the words which the LORD hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity, and the cities thereof round about her, when [men] inhabited the south and the plain?
8
And the word of the LORD came unto Zechariah, saying,
9
Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother:
10
And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
11
But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
12
Yea, they made their hearts [as] an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.
13
Therefore it is come to pass, [that] as he cried, and they would not hear so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts:
14
But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.
Zechariah 8
1
Again the word of the LORD of hosts came [to me], saying,
2
Thus saith the LORD of hosts I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury.
3
Thus saith the LORD I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain.
4
Thus saith the LORD of hosts There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.
5
And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof.
6
Thus saith the LORD of hosts If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts.
7
Thus saith the LORD of hosts Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country
8
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.
9
Thus saith the LORD of hosts Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which [were] in the day [that] the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.
10
For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast neither [was there any] peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour.
11
But now I [will] not [be] unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts.
12
For the seed [shall be] prosperous the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these [things].
13
And it shall come to pass, [that] as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, [but] let your hands be strong.
14
For thus saith the LORD of hosts As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not:
15
So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah: fear ye not.
16
These [are] the things that ye shall do Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates:
17
And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour and love no false oath: for all these [are things] that I hate, saith the LORD.
18
And the word of the LORD of hosts came unto me, saying,
19
Thus saith the LORD of hosts The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts therefore love the truth and peace.
20
Thus saith the LORD of hosts [It shall] yet [come to pass], that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities:
21
And the inhabitants of one [city] shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also.
22
Yea, many people and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the LORD.
23
Thus saith the LORD of hosts In those days [it shall come to pass], that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even 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.
Revelation 19
1-10
1
And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:
2
For true and righteous [are] his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.
3
And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4
And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen Alleluia.
5
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great.
6
And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
7
Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8
And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9
And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed [are] they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10
And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
