⁵ For the LORD is good. His mercy is everlasting; and His truth is from generation to generation. A Psalm of David

¹⁵ The Word of the LORD came again to me, saying:

¹⁶ “Moreover, you son of man, take a piece of wood for yourself and write upon it, ‘To Judah, and to the children of Israel, his companions…’ Then take another piece of wood and write upon it, ‘To Joseph, the tree of Ephraim, and to all the House of Israel his companions…’

¹⁷ “And you shall join them, one to another, into one tree. And they shall be as one in your hand.

¹⁸ “And when the children of your people shall speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’

¹⁹ “you shall answer them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will take the tree of Joseph (which is in the hand of Ephraim) and the tribes of Israel (his fellows) and will put them together with the tree of Judah and make them one tree. And they shall be one in My Hand.

²⁰ “And the wood upon which you write shall be in your hand, in their sight.

²¹ “And say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, wherever they have gone, and will gather them on every side and bring them into their own land.

²² “And I will make them one people in the land, upon the mountains of Israel. And one king shall be king to them all. And they shall no longer be two peoples or be divided into two kingdoms anymore.

²³ “Nor shall they be polluted anymore with their idols, or with their abominations, or with any of their transgressions. But I will save them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned and will cleanse them. So shall they be My people; and I will be their God.

²⁴ “And David, My servant, shall be king over them; and they shall all have one shepherd. They shall also walk in My Judgments and observe My Statutes and do them.

²⁵ “And they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob, My servant, where your fathers have dwelt. And they shall dwell there, they and their sons and their sons’ sons, forever. And My servant, David, shall be their prince forever.

²⁶ “Moreover, I will make a Covenant of Peace with them. It shall be an everlasting Covenant with them. And I will place them, and multiply them, and will set My Sanctuary among them forevermore.

²⁷ “My Tabernacle shall also be with them. Yea, I will be their God; and they shall be My people.

²⁸ “Thus the heathen shall know that I, the LORD, sanctifies Israel, when My Sanctuary shall be among them forevermore.”’”

15 And I saw another sign in Heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues. For by them is fulfilled the wrath of God.

² And I saw (as it were) a glassy sea, mingled with fire. And those who had gotten victory over the beast - and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name - stand at the glassy sea, having the harps of God.

³ And they sang the song of Moses (the servant of God) and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvelous are your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are your ways, King of Saints!

⁴ “Who shall not fear you, O Lord, and glorify Your Name! For You only are holy! And all nations shall come and worship before You! For Your judgments are revealed!”
