21:1 And verily I say unto you, I give unto you a
sign, that ye may know the time when these things shall
be about to take place--that I shall gather in, from
their long dispersion, my people, O house of Israel, and
shall establish again among them my Zion; |
|
21:2 And behold, this is the thing which I will give
unto you for a sign--for verily I say unto you that when
these things which I declare unto you, and which I shall
declare unto you hereafter of myself, and by the power of
the Holy Ghost which shall be given unto you of the
Father, shall be made known unto the Gentiles that they
may know concerning this people who are a remnant of the
house of Jacob, and concerning this my people who shall
be scattered by them; |
|
21:3 Verily, verily, I say unto you, when these
things shall be made known unto them of the Father, and
shall come forth of the Father, from them unto you; |
|
21:4 For it is wisdom in the Father that they should
be established in this land, and be set up as a free
people by the power of the Father, that these things
might come forth from them unto a remnant of your seed,
that the covenant of the Father may be fulfilled which he
hath covenanted with his people, O house of Israel; |
|
21:5 Therefore, when these works and the works which
shall be wrought among you hereafter shall come forth
from the Gentiles, unto your seed which shall dwindle in
unbelief because of iniquity; |
|
21:6 For thus it behooveth the Father that it should
come forth from the Gentiles, that he may show forth his
power unto the Gentiles, for this cause that the
Gentiles, if they will not harden their hearts, that they
may 1repent and come unto me and be baptized in my
name and know of the true points of my doctrine, that
they may be numbered among my people, O house of Israel; |
[1] Acts 2:38: ...Repent, and be baptized...in the
name of Jesus Christ... |
21:7 And when these things come to pass that thy
seed shall begin to know these things--it shall be a sign
unto them, that they may know that the work of the Father
hath already commenced unto the fulfilling of the
covenant which he hath made unto the people who are of
the house of Israel. |
|
21:8 And when that day shall come, it shall come to
pass that kings shall shut their mouths; for that which
had not been told them shall they see; and that which
they had not heard shall they consider. |
Isaiah 52:15:
So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut
their mouths at him: for that which had not been told
them shall they see; and that which they had not heard
shall they consider. |
21:9 For in that day, for my sake shall the Father
work a work, which shall be a great and a marvelous work
among them; and there shall be among them those who will
not believe it, although a man shall declare it unto
them. |
Isaiah 29:14:
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work
among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder... |
21:10 But behold, the life of my servant shall be in
my hand; therefore they shall not hurt him, although he
shall be marred because of them. Yet I will heal him, for
I will show unto them that my wisdom is greater than the
cunning of the devil. |
|
21:11 Therefore it shall come to pass that whosoever
will not believe in my words, who am Jesus Christ, which
the Father shall cause him to bring forth unto the
Gentiles, and shall give unto him power that he shall
bring them forth unto the Gentiles, (it shall be done
even as Moses said) they shall be cut off from among my
people who are of the covenant. |
|
21:12 And my people who are a remnant of Jacob shall
be among the Gentiles, yea, in the midst of them as a
lion among the beasts of the forest, as a young lion
among the flocks of sheep, who, if he go through both
treadeth down and teareth in pieces, and none can
deliver. |
The following
section is quoted from Micah 5. 5:8
And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in
the midst of many people as a lion among the beasts of
the forest, as a young lion among the flocks of sheep:
who, if he go through, both treadeth down, and teareth in
pieces, and none can deliver.
|
21:13 Their hand shall be lifted up upon their
adversaries, and all their enemies shall be cut off. |
5:9 Thine
hand shall be lifted up upon thine adversaries, and all
thine enemies shall be cut off. |
21:14 Yea, wo be unto the Gentiles except they
repent; for it shall come to pass in that day, saith the
Father, that I will cut off thy horses out of the midst
of thee, and I will destroy thy chariots; |
5:10 And it
shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that I
will cut off thy horses out of the midst of thee, and I
will destroy thy chariots: |
21:15 And I will cut off the cities of thy land, and
throw down all thy strongholds; |
5:11 And I
will cut off the cities of thy land, and throw down all
thy strong holds: |
21:16 And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thy land,
and thou shalt have no more soothsayers; |
5:12 And I
will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou
shalt have no more soothsayers: |
21:17 Thy graven images I will also cut off, and thy
standing images out of the midst of thee, and thou shalt
no more worship the works of thy hands; |
5:13 Thy
graven images also will I cut off, and thy standing
images out of the midst of thee; and thou shalt no more
worship the work of thine hands. |
21:18 And I will pluck up thy groves out of the midst
of thee; so will I destroy thy cities. |
5:14 And I
will pluck up thy groves out of the midst of thee: so
will I destroy thy cities. |
21:19 And it shall come to pass that all lyings, and
deceivings, and envyings, and strifes, and priestcrafts,
and whoredoms, shall be done away. |
5:15 And I
will execute vengeance in anger and fury upon the
heathen, such as they have not heard. |
21:20 For it shall come to pass, saith the Father,
that at that day whosoever will not repent and come unto
my Beloved Son, them will I cut off from among my people,
O house of Israel; |
|
21:21 And I will execute vengeance and fury upon
them, even as upon the heathen, such as they have not
heard. |
|
21:22 But if they will repent and hearken unto my
words, and harden not their hearts, I will establish my
church among them, and they shall come in unto the
covenant and be numbered among this the remnant of Jacob,
unto whom I have given this land for their inheritance; |
|
21:23 And they shall assist my people, the remnant of
Jacob, and also as many of the house of Israel as shall
come, that they may build a city, which shall be called
the New Jerusalem. |
|
21:24 And then shall they assist my people that they
may be gathered in, who are scattered upon all the face
of the land, in unto the New Jerusalem. |
|
21:25 And then shall the power of heaven come down
among them; and I also will be in the midst. |
|
21:26 And then shall the work of the Father commence
at that day, even when this gospel shall be preached
among the remnant of this people. Verily I say unto you,
at that day shall the work of the Father commence among
all the dispersed of my people, yea, even the tribes
which have been lost, which the Father hath led away out
of Jerusalem. |
|
21:27 Yea, the work shall commence among all the
dispersed of my people, with the Father to prepare the
way whereby they may come unto me, that they may call on
the Father in my name. |
|
21:28 Yea, and then shall the work commence, with the
Father among all nations in preparing the way whereby his
people may be gathered home to the land of their
inheritance. |
|
21:29 And they shall go out from all nations; and
they shall not go out in haste, nor go by flight, for I
will go before them, saith the Father, and I will be
their rearward. |
Isaiah 52:12:
For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for
the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will
be your rereward. |
