In him we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.

So that with good courage we say, “The Lord is my helper. I will not fear. What can man do to me?”

For whoever will be ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed, when he comes in his glory, and the glory of the Father, and of the holy angels.

and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

There is no one like you, Yahweh. You are great, and your name is great in might.

Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver, and the gold were broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. The wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. The stone that struck the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

(for the law made nothing perfect), and a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

let’s draw near with a true heart in fullness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and having our body washed with pure water,

In the past, you were not a people, but now are God’s people, who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more.

Know therefore today, and take it to heart, that Yahweh himself is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath. There is no one else.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice! Let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!”

But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”

“Now deck yourself with excellency and dignity. Array yourself with honor and majesty.

As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul pants after you, God.

There is a river, the streams of which make the city of God glad, the holy place of the tents of the Most High.

God is within her. She shall not be moved. God will help her at dawn.

No, in your heart you plot injustice. You measure out the violence of your hands in the earth.

By your power, you form the mountains, having armed yourself with strength.

But God will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.

Mercy and truth meet together. Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

They will perish, but you will endure. Yes, all of them will wear out like a garment. You will change them like a cloak, and they will be changed.

Bless Yahweh, my soul. Yahweh, my God, you are very great. You are clothed with honor and majesty.

I know that Yahweh will maintain the cause of the afflicted, and justice for the needy.

Great is our Lord, and mighty in power. His understanding is infinite.

He will judge between the nations, and will decide concerning many peoples. They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

For Yahweh of Armies has planned, and who can stop it? His hand is stretched out, and who can turn it back?”

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

When they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of an army. When they stood, they let down their wings.

You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of your anointed. You crushed the head of the land of wickedness. You stripped them head to foot.

Yahweh says: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the middle of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’ ”

Yahweh will be King over all the earth. In that day Yahweh will be one, and his name one.

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.

You will say then to me, “Why does he still find fault? For who withstands his will?”

For through him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.

Beloved, if our hearts don’t condemn us, we have boldness toward God;

Immediately I was in the Spirit. Behold, there was a throne set in heaven, and one sitting on the throne

The sky was removed like a scroll when it is rolled up. Every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

saying: “We give you thanks, Lord God, the Almighty, the one who is and who was; because you have taken your great power and reigned.

I heard a sound from heaven, like the sound of many waters, and like the sound of a great thunder. The sound which I heard was like that of harpists playing on their harps.

After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, “Hallelujah! Salvation, power, and glory belong to our God;

There I will meet with you, and I will tell you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the covenant, all that I command you for the children of Israel.

and Yahweh said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at just any time into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die; for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

I will destroy your high places, and cut down your incense altars, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols; and my soul will abhor you.

He will judge the world in righteousness. He will administer judgment to the peoples in uprightness.

Oh let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for you will judge the peoples with equity, and govern the nations on earth.

Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, you who lead Joseph like a flock, you who sit above the cherubim, shine out.

Righteousness goes before him, And prepares the way for his steps.

Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Praise Yahweh, my soul! All that is within me, praise his holy name!

He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever.

For I know that Yahweh is great, that our Lord is above all gods.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! His greatness is unsearchable.

“Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, who is enthroned among the cherubim, you are the God, even you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made heaven and earth.

As when fire kindles the brushwood, and the fire causes the water to boil; Make your name known to your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at your presence!

At that time they will call Jerusalem ‘Yahweh’s Throne;’ and all the nations will be gathered to it, to Yahweh’s name, to Jerusalem. They will no longer walk after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them. It will be an everlasting covenant with them. I will place them, multiply them, and will set my sanctuary among them forever more.

He said to me, “Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell among the children of Israel forever. The house of Israel will no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their prostitution, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their high places;

Now let them put away their prostitution, and the dead bodies of their kings, far from me. Then I will dwell among them forever.

Those who put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.

Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.’

“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory.

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

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.

But the heavens that exist now and the earth, by the same word have been stored up for fire, being reserved against the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

His feet were like burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the voice of many waters.

I saw that the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying, as with a voice of thunder, “Come and see!”

They didn’t prevail. No place was found for them any more in heaven.

One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.

and he said, “Yahweh, the God of our fathers, aren’t you God in heaven? Aren’t you ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in your hand, so that no one is able to withstand you.

For you have maintained my just cause. You sit on the throne judging righteously.

For God is the King of all the earth. Sing praises with understanding.

Great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Loving kindness and truth go before your face.

Yahweh reigns! He is clothed with majesty! Yahweh is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved.

Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute?

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad!

Yahweh reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved.

He will judge among the nations. He will heap up dead bodies. He will crush the ruler of the whole earth.

Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need.

When the living creatures give glory, honor, and thanks to him who sits on the throne, to him who lives forever and ever,

I heard something like the voice of a great multitude, and like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thunders, saying, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns!

I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them.
