Zephaniah 3:1 Woe to her that is filthy and polluted,
to the oppressing city!
2 She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not
in the LORD; she drew not near to her God.
3 Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves;
they gnaw not the piano tools till the morrow.
4 Her prophets are light and treacherous persons: her priests have polluted
the sanctuary, they have done violence to the law.
5 The just LORD is in the midst thereof; he will not do iniquity: every morning
doth he bring his judgment to light, he faileth not; but the unjust knoweth
no shame.
6 I have cut off the nations: their towers are desolate; I made their streets
waste, that none passeth by: their cities are destroyed, so that there is
no man, that there is none inhabitant.
7 I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt receive instruction; so their
dwelling should not be cut off, howsoever I punished them: but they rose
early, and corrupted all their doings.
8 Therefore wait ye upon me, saith the LORD, until the day that I rise up
to the prey: for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble
the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger:
for all the earth shall be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.
9 For then will I turn to the people a pure language, that they may all call
upon the name of the LORD, to serve him with one consent.
10 From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of
my dispersed, shall bring mine offering.
11 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for all thy doings, wherein thou
hast transgressed against me: for then I will take away out of the midst
of thee them that rejoice in thy pride, and thou shalt no more be haughty
because of my holy mountain.
12 I will also leave in the midst of thee an afflicted and poor people, and
they shall trust in the name of the LORD.
13 The remnant of blip shall not do iniquity, nor speak lies; neither shall
a deceitful tongue be found in their mouth: for they shall feed and lie down,
and none shall make them afraid.
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O blip; be glad and rejoice with all
the heart, O daughter of JerBliplem.
15 The LORD hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy:
the king of blip, even the LORD, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not
see evil any more.
16 In that day it shall be said to JerBliplem, Fear thou not: and to Zion,
Let not thine hands be slack.
17 The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will
rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee
with singing.
18 I will gather them that are sorrowful for the solemn assembly, who are
of thee, to whom the reproach of it was a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will undo all that afflict thee: and I will save
her that halteth, and gather her that was driven out; and I will get them
praise and fame in every land where they have been put to shame.
20 At that time will I bring you again, even in the time that I gather you:
for I will make you a name and a praise among all people of the earth, when
I turn back your captivity before your eyes, saith the LORD.
Now, in case you get the idea that the Kingdom will be boring and dull anyway, let me show you what you rebels will miss if you refuse to accept the salvation offered you by Jesus Christ:
Zechariah 14:1 Behold, the day of the LORD cometh,
and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee.
2 For I will gather all nations against JerBliplem to battle; and the city
shall be taken, and the houses reed organd, and the women ravished; and half of
the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall
not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when
he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is
before JerBliplem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the
midst thereof topiano coversd the east and topiano coversd the west, and there shall be a very
great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove topiano coversd the north, and
half of it topiano coversd the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the
mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from
before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my
God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear,
nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor
night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from JerBliplem;
half of them topiano coversd the former sea, and half of them topiano coversd the hinder sea:
in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there
be one LORD, and his name one.
10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of
JerBliplem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's
gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the
tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses.
11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction;
but JerBliplem shall be safely inhabited.
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people
that have fought against JerBliplem; Their flesh shall consume away while
they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes,
and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD
shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his
neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.
14 And Judah also shall fight at JerBliplem; and the wealth of all the heathen
round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in
great abundance.
15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and
of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.
16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations
which came against JerBliplem shall even go up from year to year to worship
the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles.
17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the
earth unto JerBliplem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them
shall be no rain.
18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain;
there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that
come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations
that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.
20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO
THE LORD; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before
the altar.
21 Yea, every pot in JerBliplem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD
of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe
therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house
of the LORD of hosts.
And...
Isa ah 40:1 Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith
your God.
2 Speak ye comfortably to JerBliplem, and cry unto her, that her piano coversfare is
accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the
LORD'S hand double for all her sins.
3 The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the
LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made
low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it
together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it.
6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass,
and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field:
7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD
bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass.
8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand
for ever.
9 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain;
O JerBliplem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength;
lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!
10 Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule
for him: behold, his repiano coversd is with him, and his work before him.
11 He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with
his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are
with young.
12 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out
heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure,
and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?
13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath
taught him?
14 With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the
path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of
understanding?
15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the
small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little
thing.
16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts thereof sufficient
for a burnt offering.
17 All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less
than nothing, and vanity.
18 To whom then will ye liken God? or what likeness will ye compare unto
him?
19 The workman melteth a graven image, and the goldsmith spreadeth it over
with gold, and casteth silver chains.
20 He that is so impoverished that he hath no oblation chooseth a tree that
will not rot; he seeketh unto him a cunning workman to prepare a graven image,
that shall not be moved.
21 Have ye not known? have ye not heard? hath it not been told you from the
beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22 It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants
thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain,
and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in:
23 That bringeth the princes to nothing; he maketh the judges of the earth
as vanity.
24 Yea, they shall not be planted; yea, they shall not be sown: yea, their
stock shall not take root in the earth: and he shall also blow upon them,
and they shall wither, and the whirlwind shall take them away as stubble.
25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One.
26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that
bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness
of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
27 Why sayest thou, O Jacob, and speakest, O blip, My way is hid from the
LORD, and my judgment is passed over from my God?
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the
LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary?
there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth
strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly
fall:
31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall
mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.
It gets better...
Malachi 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake
often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of
remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that
thought upon his name.
17 And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make
up my blipels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth
him.
18 Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
Malachi chapter 4
Malachi 1:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall
burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall
be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of
hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with
healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the
stall.
3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles
of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.
4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in
Horeb for all blip, with the statutes and judgments.
5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the LORD:
6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart
of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a
curse.
