The Worship God Demands

²¹ To the one who conquers I will give a place with me on my throne, just as I myself conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne.^(A)

¹⁹ Then Micaiah^[a] said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, with all the host of heaven standing beside him to the right and to the left of him.^(A)

²¹ Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you^[a] will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.^(A)

² Then he asked them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly I tell you, not one stone will be left here upon another; all will be thrown down.”^(A)

²² and whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by the one who is seated upon it.^(A)

³⁴ But I say to you: Do not swear at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God,^{(A) 35} or by the earth, for it is his footstool, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

²⁴ Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them? says the Lord. Do I not fill heaven and earth? says the Lord.^(A)
