12 Now if the Gentiles were enriched because the people of Israel turned down God’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when they finally accept it.

God’s Mercy Is for Everyone
25 I want you to understand this mystery, dear brothers and sisters,[a] so that you will not feel proud about yourselves. Some of the people of Israel have hard hearts, but this will last only until the full number of Gentiles comes to Christ.

The Remnant Purified
7 Then the remnant left in Israel[a]
will take their place among the nations.
They will be like dew sent by the Lord
or like rain falling on the grass,
which no one can hold back
and no one can restrain.

Isaiah 66:8-20
New Living Translation
8 Who has ever seen anything as strange as this?
Who ever heard of such a thing?
Has a nation ever been born in a single day?
Has a country ever come forth in a mere moment?
But by the time Jerusalem’s[a] birth pains begin,
her children will be born.
9 Would I ever bring this nation to the point of birth
and then not deliver it?” asks the Lord.
“No! I would never keep this nation from being born,”
says your God.
10 “Rejoice with Jerusalem!
Be glad with her, all you who love her
and all you who mourn for her.
11 Drink deeply of her glory
even as an infant drinks at its mother’s comforting breasts.”
12 This is what the Lord says:
“I will give Jerusalem a river of peace and prosperity.
The wealth of the nations will flow to her.
Her children will be nursed at her breasts,
carried in her arms, and held on her lap.
13 I will comfort you there in Jerusalem
as a mother comforts her child.”
14 When you see these things, your heart will rejoice.
You will flourish like the grass!
Everyone will see the Lord’s hand of blessing on his servants—
and his anger against his enemies.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,
and his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind.
He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger
and the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.
16 The Lord will punish the world by fire
and by his sword.
He will judge the earth,
and many will be killed by him.
17 “Those who ‘consecrate’ and ‘purify’ themselves in a sacred garden with its idol in the center—feasting on pork and rats and other detestable meats—will come to a terrible end,” says the Lord.
18 “I can see what they are doing, and I know what they are thinking. So I will gather all nations and peoples together, and they will see my glory. 19 I will perform a sign among them. And I will send those who survive to be messengers to the nations—to Tarshish, to the Libyans[b] and Lydians[c] (who are famous as archers), to Tubal and Greece,[d] and to all the lands beyond the sea that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory. There they will declare my glory to the nations. 20 They will bring the remnant of your people back from every nation. They will bring them to my holy mountain in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord. They will ride on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,” says the Lord.

Isaiah 66:8-20
New International Version
8 Who has ever heard of such things?
Who has ever seen(A) things like this?
Can a country be born in a day(B)
or a nation be brought forth in a moment?
Yet no sooner is Zion in labor
than she gives birth to her children.(C)
9 Do I bring to the moment of birth(D)
and not give delivery?” says the Lord.
“Do I close up the womb
when I bring to delivery?” says your God.
10 “Rejoice(E) with Jerusalem and be glad for her,
all you who love(F) her;
rejoice greatly with her,
all you who mourn(G) over her.
11 For you will nurse(H) and be satisfied
at her comforting breasts;(I)
you will drink deeply
and delight in her overflowing abundance.”(J)
12 For this is what the Lord says:
“I will extend peace(K) to her like a river,(L)
and the wealth(M) of nations like a flooding stream;
you will nurse and be carried(N) on her arm
and dandled on her knees.
13 As a mother comforts her child,(O)
so will I comfort(P) you;
and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.”
14 When you see this, your heart will rejoice(Q)
and you will flourish(R) like grass;
the hand(S) of the Lord will be made known to his servants,(T)
but his fury(U) will be shown to his foes.
15 See, the Lord is coming with fire,(V)
and his chariots(W) are like a whirlwind;(X)
he will bring down his anger with fury,
and his rebuke(Y) with flames of fire.
16 For with fire(Z) and with his sword(AA)
the Lord will execute judgment(AB) on all people,
and many will be those slain(AC) by the Lord.
17 “Those who consecrate and purify themselves to go into the gardens,(AD) following one who is among those who eat the flesh of pigs,(AE) rats(AF) and other unclean things—they will meet their end(AG) together with the one they follow,” declares the Lord.
18 “And I, because of what they have planned and done,(AH) am about to come[a] and gather the people of all nations(AI) and languages, and they will come and see my glory.(AJ)
19 “I will set a sign(AK) among them, and I will send some of those who survive(AL) to the nations—to Tarshish,(AM) to the Libyans[b] and Lydians(AN) (famous as archers), to Tubal(AO) and Greece,(AP) and to the distant islands(AQ) that have not heard of my fame or seen my glory.(AR) They will proclaim my glory among the nations. 20 And they will bring(AS) all your people, from all the nations, to my holy mountain(AT) in Jerusalem as an offering to the Lord—on horses, in chariots and wagons, and on mules and camels,”(AU) says the Lord. “They will bring them, as the Israelites bring their grain offerings, to the temple of the Lord in ceremonially clean vessels.(AV)

11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time
to bring back the remnant of his people—
those who remain in Assyria and northern Egypt;
in southern Egypt, Ethiopia,[a] and Elam;
in Babylonia,[b] Hamath, and all the distant coastlands.
12 He will raise a flag among the nations
and assemble the exiles of Israel.
He will gather the scattered people of Judah
from the ends of the earth.
13 Then at last the jealousy between Israel[c] and Judah will end.
They will not be rivals anymore.
14 They will join forces to swoop down on Philistia to the west.
Together they will attack and plunder the nations to the east.
They will occupy the lands of Edom and Moab,
and Ammon will obey them.
15 The Lord will make a dry path through the gulf of the Red Sea.[d]
He will wave his hand over the Euphrates River,[e]
sending a mighty wind to divide it into seven streams
so it can easily be crossed on foot.
16 He will make a highway for the remnant of his people,
the remnant coming from Assyria,
just as he did for Israel long ago
when they returned from Egypt.
Songs of Praise for Salvation
12 In that day you will sing:
“I will praise you, O Lord!
You were angry with me, but not any more.
Now you comfort me.
2 See, God has come to save me.
I will trust in him and not be afraid.
The Lord God is my strength and my song;
he has given me victory.”
3 With joy you will drink deeply
from the fountain of salvation!
4 In that wonderful day you will sing:
“Thank the Lord! Praise his name!
Tell the nations what he has done.
Let them know how mighty he is!
5 Sing to the Lord, for he has done wonderful things.
Make known his praise around the world.
6 Let all the people of Jerusalem[f] shout his praise with joy!
For great is the Holy One of Israel who lives among you.”

12 He will raise a banner(J) for the nations
and gather(K) the exiles of Israel;(L)
he will assemble the scattered people(M) of Judah
from the four quarters of the earth.(N)
13 Ephraim’s jealousy will vanish,
and Judah’s enemies[c] will be destroyed;
Ephraim will not be jealous of Judah,
nor Judah hostile toward Ephraim.(O)
14 They will swoop down on the slopes of Philistia(P) to the west;
together they will plunder the people to the east.(Q)
They will subdue Edom(R) and Moab,(S)
and the Ammonites(T) will be subject to them.(U)
15 The Lord will dry up(V)
the gulf of the Egyptian sea;
with a scorching wind(W) he will sweep his hand(X)
over the Euphrates River.(Y)
He will break it up into seven streams
so that anyone can cross over in sandals.(Z)
16 There will be a highway(AA) for the remnant(AB) of his people
that is left from Assyria,(AC)
as there was for Israel
when they came up from Egypt.(AD)
Songs of Praise
12 In that day(AE) you will say:
“I will praise(AF) you, Lord.
Although you were angry with me,
your anger has turned away(AG)
and you have comforted(AH) me.
2 Surely God is my salvation;(AI)
I will trust(AJ) and not be afraid.
The Lord, the Lord himself,(AK) is my strength(AL) and my defense[d];
he has become my salvation.(AM)”
3 With joy you will draw water(AN)
from the wells(AO) of salvation.
4 In that day(AP) you will say:
“Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;(AQ)
make known among the nations(AR) what he has done,
and proclaim that his name is exalted.(AS)
5 Sing(AT) to the Lord, for he has done glorious things;(AU)
let this be known to all the world.
6 Shout aloud and sing for joy,(AV) people of Zion,
for great(AW) is the Holy One of Israel(AX) among you.(AY)”

The Seventh Trumpet Brings the Third Terror
15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven:
“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,[a]
and he will reign forever and ever.”
16 The twenty-four elders sitting on their thrones before God fell with their faces to the ground and worshiped him. 17 And they said,
“We give thanks to you, Lord God, the Almighty,
the one who is and who always was,
for now you have assumed your great power
and have begun to reign.
18 The nations were filled with wrath,
but now the time of your wrath has come.
It is time to judge the dead
and reward your servants the prophets,
as well as your holy people,
and all who fear your name,
from the least to the greatest.
It is time to destroy
all who have caused destruction on the earth.”
19 Then, in heaven, the Temple of God was opened and the Ark of his covenant could be seen inside the Temple. Lightning flashed, thunder crashed and roared, and there was an earthquake and a terrible hailstorm.
