In that day people will ridicule you; they will taunt you with this mournful song: ‘We are utterly ruined; my people’s possession is divided up. He takes it from me! He assigns our fields to traitors.’”
-
Therefore night will come over you, without visions, and darkness, without divination. The sun will set for the prophets, and the day will go dark for them.

The Mountain of the Lord
In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.

The Lord’s Plan
“In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief.
-
I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. The Lord will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
-
“In that day,” declares the Lord, “I will destroy your horses from among you and demolish your chariots.
-
Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
-
The best of them is like a brier, the most upright worse than a thorn hedge. The day God visits you has come, the day your watchmen sound the alarm. Now is the time of your confusion.
-
The day for building your walls will come, the day for extending your boundaries.
-
In that day people will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, even from Egypt to the Euphrates and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.
-
Prayer and Praise
Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your inheritance, which lives by itself in a forest, in fertile pasturelands. Let them feed in Bashan and Gilead as in days long ago.
-
“As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders.”
-
You will be faithful to Jacob, and show love to Abraham, as you pledged on oath to our ancestors in days long ago.
