Psalms 24:7

The voice of one who calls out, “Prepare the way of Yahweh in the wilderness! Make a level highway in the desert for our God.

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Yahweh’s Spirit will rest on him: the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of Yahweh.

One thing I have asked of Yahweh, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in Yahweh’s house all the days of my life, to see Yahweh’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.

that you may walk worthily of the Lord, to please him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God,

Yahweh says to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool for your feet.”

then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God.

For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son, and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.

but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him who is the head, Christ,

seeing that his divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us by his own glory and virtue,

“Ah Lord Yahweh! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.

As it is written in the prophets, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you:

All things were made through him. Without him, nothing was made that has been made.

Yes, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply moral excellence; and in moral excellence, knowledge;

Open to me the gates of righteousness. I will enter into them. I will give thanks to Yah.

as newborn babies, long for the pure milk of the Word, that with it you may grow,

Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” Dividing his garments among them, they cast lots.

which none of the rulers of this world has known. For had they known it, they wouldn’t have crucified the Lord of glory.

Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord.

saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!”

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

“ ‘You shall do no injustice in judgment. You shall not be partial to the poor, nor show favoritism to the great; but you shall judge your neighbor in righteousness.

These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

Open the gates, that the righteous nation may enter: the one which keeps faith.

Haven’t you known? Haven’t you heard? The everlasting God, Yahweh, the Creator of the ends of the earth, doesn’t faint. He isn’t weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

And you, child, will be called a prophet of the Most High; for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways,

He said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be in my Father’s house?”

There came a man, sent from God, whose name was John.

Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, yes rather, who was raised from the dead, who is at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

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,

looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising its shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

He said with a loud voice, “Fear the Lord, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heaven, the earth, the sea, and the springs of waters!”

He built twenty cubits on the back part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ceiling. He built them for it within, for an inner sanctuary, even for the most holy place.

David made himself houses in David’s city; and he prepared a place for God’s ark, and pitched a tent for it.

Now set your heart and your soul to follow Yahweh your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Yahweh God, to bring the ark of Yahweh’s covenant and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for Yahweh’s name.”

But David had brought God’s ark up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.

Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance.

They shall be abundantly satisfied with the abundance of your house. You will make them drink of the river of your pleasures.

The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge.

But it is good for me to come close to God. I have made the Lord Yahweh my refuge, that I may tell of all your works.

Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you.

The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory.

Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night, that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.

In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and in his pity he redeemed them. He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

For this is he who was spoken of by Isaiah the prophet, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, make the way of the Lord ready! Make his paths straight!”

It came to pass, when the days were near that he should be taken up, he intently set his face to go to Jerusalem

From now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God.”

Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?

Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

Being therefore exalted by the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this, which you now see and hear.

For of him, and through him, and to him are all things. To him be the glory for ever! Amen.

which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places,

to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name,

having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.

Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,

But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it, that there will no longer be delay,

You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.”

He prepared an inner sanctuary in the middle of the house within, to set the ark of Yahweh’s covenant there.

He set the cherubim within the inner house. The wings of the cherubim were stretched out, so that the wing of the one touched the one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched the other wall; and their wings touched one another in the middle of the house.

Now therefore let the fear of Yahweh be on you. Take heed and do it; for there is no iniquity with Yahweh our God, nor respect of persons, nor taking of bribes.”

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.

Who is this King of glory? Yahweh of Armies is the King of glory!

But let him who glories glory in this, that he has understanding, and knows me, that I am Yahweh who exercises loving kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth, for I delight in these things,” says Yahweh.

There is a man in your kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him. The king Nebuchadnezzar your father, yes, the king, your father, made him master of the magicians, enchanters, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;

They sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are honest, and teach the way of God in truth, no matter whom you teach, for you aren’t partial to anyone.

“Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Paul said, “John indeed baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the one who would come after him, that is, in Jesus.”

But now, brothers, if I come to you speaking with other languages, what would I profit you, unless I speak to you either by way of revelation, or of knowledge, or of prophesying, or of teaching?

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,

which in other generations was not made known to the children of men, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit,

in gentleness correcting those who oppose him: perhaps God may give them repentance leading to a full knowledge of the truth,

Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s chosen ones, and the knowledge of the truth which is according to godliness,

They brought in Yahweh’s ark, and set it in its place, in the middle of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.

Blessed is the one whom you choose and cause to come near, that he may live in your courts. We will be filled with the goodness of your house, your holy temple.

This is the gate of Yahweh; the righteous will enter into it.

Arise, Yahweh, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength.

that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him,

“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, the Holy One, to receive the glory, the honor, and the power, for you created all things, and because of your desire they existed, and were created!”

The priests brought in the ark of Yahweh’s covenant to its place, into the inner sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the cherubim’s wings.

so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud; for Yahweh’s glory filled Yahweh’s house.

Save, Yahweh! Let the King answer us when we call!

The king rejoices in your strength, Yahweh! How greatly he rejoices in your salvation!

His glory is great in your salvation. You lay honor and majesty on him.

and delivered his strength into captivity, his glory into the adversary’s hand.

and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.

‘The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,’ says Yahweh of Armies; ‘and in this place I will give peace,’ says Yahweh of Armies.”

“Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me; and the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, behold, he comes!” says Yahweh of Armies.

So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of God.

He said, “Brothers and fathers, listen. The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

My brothers, don’t hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory with partiality.

who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him.

But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
