Old/New Testament
4 But in the last days it shall happen that the Mountain of the House of the LORD shall be prepared on the top of the mountains. And it shall be exalted above the hills. And people shall flow to it.
2 Yea, many nations shall come and say, “Come and let us go up to the Mountain of the LORD, and to the House of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways. And we will walk in His paths.” For the Law shall go forth from Zion. And the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 And He shall judge among many people and rebuke mighty, far away nations. And they shall break their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation. Nor shall they learn to fight anymore.
4 But every man shall sit under his vine, and under his fig tree. And no one shall make them afraid. For the Mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken it.
5 For all people will walk, each in the name of his god. And we will walk in the Name of the LORD our God, forever and ever.
6 “At the same time,” says the LORD, “I will gather she who halts, and I will gather she who is cast out, and she whom I have afflicted.
7 “And I will make her who limps a remnant, and her who was cast far off a mighty nation. And the LORD shall reign over them on Mount Zion, from now until forever.
8 “And you, O tower of the flock, the stronghold of the daughter Zion! To you it shall come. The former dominion kingdom shall come to the daughter Jerusalem.”
9 Now, why do you cry out with lamentation? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished? For sorrow has taken you, as a woman in labor.
10 Sorrow and mourn, O daughter Zion, like a woman in labor! For now, you shall go forth from the city and dwell in the field and shall go into Babel. There you shall be delivered. There the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Also now, many nations are gathered against you, saying, “Zion shall be condemned!” and “Our eye shall look upon Zion!”
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD. They do not understand His counsel. For He shall gather them as the sheaves in the barn.
13 “Arise and thresh, O daughter Zion! For I will make your horn iron. And I will make your hooves bronze. And you shall break many people in pieces. And I will consecrate their riches to the LORD, and their substance to the Ruler of the whole world.”
5 Now assemble your garrisons, O daughter of garrisons. He has laid siege against us. They shall strike the judge of Israel with a rod upon the cheek.
2 “And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, are small among the thousands of Judah. Yet out of you shall He come forth to Me Who shall be the Ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth have been from the beginning, from everlasting.”
3 Therefore, He will give them up until the time that she who shall bear has given birth. Then the remnant of their brethren shall return to the children of Israel.
4 And He shall stand and feed in the strength of the LORD, in the majesty of the Name of the LORD his God. And they shall abide. For now shall He be magnified to the ends of the world.
5 And He shall be our peace when Assyria shall come into our land. When He shall tread in our palaces, then shall we raise seven shepherds against him, and eight principal men.
6 And they shall destroy Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with their swords. Thus shall He deliver us from Assyria when He comes into our land, and when He shall tread within our borders.
7 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among many people, as a dew from the LORD, as the showers upon the grass that neither wait for man nor hope in the sons of Adam.
8 And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, in the midst of many people, as the lion among the beasts of the forest, as the lion whelp among the flocks of sheep, who when he goes through treads down and tears in pieces. And no one can deliver.
9 Your Hand shall be lifted up upon your adversaries, and all your enemies shall be cut off.
10 “And it shall happen at that time,” says the LORD, “that I will cut off your horses from your midst. And I will destroy your chariots.
11 “And I will cut off the cities of your land and overthrow all your strongholds.
12 “And I will cut off your sorceries from your hand. And you shall have no more soothsayers.
13 “I will also cut off your idols, and your images from your midst. And you shall no longer worship the work of your hands.
14 “And I will uproot your asherim from your midst. So will I destroy your enemies.
15 “And I will execute a vengeance in wrath and indignation upon the heathen which they have not heard.”
12 And there appeared a great wonder in Heaven: a woman clothed with the Sun. And the Moon was under her feet; and upon her head, a crown of twelve stars.
2 And she was with child, and cried and was pained, travailing in birth, ready to be delivered.
3 And there appeared another wonder in Heaven: a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns upon his heads.
4 And his tail drew a third of the stars of Heaven and cast them to the Earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to be delivered, to devour her child when she had brought it forth.
5 So she brought forth a man child who should rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was taken up to God and to His throne.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that they would feed her there for 1260 days.
7 And there was a battle in Heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. And the dragon fought, and his angels.
8 But they did not prevail, nor was their place found anymore in Heaven.
9 And the great dragon was cast out; that old serpent called the devil and Satan, who deceives all the world. He was cast into the Earth. And his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice in Heaven, saying, “Now is salvation, and strength, and the Kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ! For the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our God day and night, is cast down!
11 “But they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by that word of their testimony! And they did not love their lives unto the death!
12 Therefore, rejoice, you heavens! And you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the Earth, and of the sea! For the devil has come down to you - who has great wrath - knowing that he has but a short time.”
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast to the Earth, he persecuted the woman who had brought forth the man child.
14 But to the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, so that she might fly into the wilderness; into her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.
15 And the serpent cast water after the woman - out of his mouth, like a flood - so that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood,
16 But the Earth helped the woman. And the Earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had cast out of his mouth.
17 Then the dragon was angry with the woman and went and made war with the remnant of her seed, who keep the Commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
18 And I stood on the sea sand.
