²¹ then say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, ^(A)I will take the people of Israel from the nations among which they have gone, and will gather them from all around, and ^(B)bring them to their own land. ²² And ^(C)I will make them one nation in the land, on ^(D)the mountains of Israel. And ^(E)one king shall be king over them all, and they shall be no longer ^(F)two nations, and no longer divided into two kingdoms. ^23 (G)They shall not ^(H)defile themselves anymore ^(I)with their idols and their detestable things, or with any of their transgressions. But ^(J)I will save them from all the backslidings^[a] in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and ^(K)they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

²⁴ “My servant ^(L)David ^(M)shall be king over them, and they shall all have ^(N)one shepherd. ^(O)They shall walk in my rules and be careful to obey my statutes. ^25 (P)They shall dwell in the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They and their children and their children's children shall dwell there ^(Q)forever, and David my servant shall be their prince ^(R)forever. ^26 (S)I will make a covenant of peace with them. It shall be ^(T)an everlasting covenant with them. And I will set them in their land^[b] and ^(U)multiply them, and will ^(V)set my sanctuary in their midst forevermore. ^27 (W)My dwelling place shall be with them, ^(X)and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. ²⁸ Then ^(Y)the nations will know that ^(Z)I am the Lord who sanctifies Israel, when ^(AA)my sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”

^17 (A)‘These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth. ¹⁸ But ^(B)the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.’

¹⁹ “Then I desired to know the truth about ^(C)the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrifying, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze, and which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet, ^20 (D)and about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. ²¹ As I looked, this horn ^(E)made war with the saints and prevailed over them, ²² until the ^(F)Ancient of Days came, and ^(G)judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when ^(H)the saints possessed the kingdom.

The Rider on a White Horse

¹¹ Then I saw ^(A)heaven opened, and behold, ^(B)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called ^(C)Faithful and True, and ^(D)in righteousness he judges and makes war. ^12 (E)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are ^(F)many diadems, and he has ^(G)a name written that no one knows but himself. ¹³ He is clothed in ^(H)a robe dipped in^[a] blood, and the name by which he is called is ^(I)The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies of heaven, ^(J)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, ^(K)were following him on white horses. ^15 (L)From his mouth comes a sharp sword ^(M)with which to strike down the nations, and ^(N)he will rule^[b] them with a rod of iron. ^(O)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. ¹⁶ On his robe and on his thigh ^(P)he has a name written, ^(Q)King of kings and Lord of lords.
