Psalms 119:130

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

“Isn’t my word like fire?” says Yahweh; “and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

The works of his hands are truth and justice. All his precepts are sure.

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.

I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God, and such as didn’t worship the beast nor his image, and didn’t receive the mark on their forehead and on their hand. They lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.
