Chapter 6 Scriptures

Psalms 72.1-19
O God, give your own judgments to the king,
And your righteousness to the son of the king.
May he plead the cause of your people with righteousness
And of your afflicted ones with [your] judgment.
Let the mountains carry peace to the people,
Also the hills, through righteousness.
Let him judge the afflicted ones of the people,
Let him save the sons of the poor one,
And let him crush the defrauder.
They will fear you as long as there is a sun,
And before the moon, for generation after generation.
He will descend like the rain upon the grass,
Like copious showers that wet the earth.
In his days the righteous one will sprout,
And the abundance of peace until the moon is no more.
And he will have subjects from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.
Before him the inhabitants of the desolate wilderness will bow down,
And his very enemies will lick the dust itself.
The kings of Tarshish [now Spain] and of the islands—
Tribute they will pay.
The kings of Sheba and of Seba [southern Arabia]—
A gift they will present.
And all the kings will prostrate themselves before him;
All the nations, for their part, will serve him.
For he will deliver the poor one crying for help,
Also the afflicted one and whoever has no helper.
He will feel sorry for the lowly one and the poor one,
And the souls of the poor ones he will save.
From oppression and from violence he will redeem their soul,
And their blood will be precious in his eyes.
And let him live, and to him let some of the gold of Sheba be given.
In his behalf let prayer be made constantly;
All day long let him be blessed.
There will come to be plenty of grain on the earth;
On the top of the mountains there will be an overflow.
His fruit will be as in Lebanon,
And those who are from the city will blossom like the vegetation of the earth.
Let his name prove to be to endless time;
Before the sun let his name have increase,
And by means of him let [his subjects] bless themselves;
Let all nations pronounce him happy.
Blessed be Jehovah God, Israel's God,
Who alone is doing wonderful works.
And blessed be his glorious name to endless time,
And let his glory fill the whole earth.
Amen and Amen.

Psalms 37.9-11, 29
[Those who are] evildoers will be cut off, but those [who are] hoping in Jehovah will inherit the earth. Just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more; you will look where he was, and he will not be. But those who are meek will possess the earth, and they will indeed find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
29 The righteous ones will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.

2 Thess 1.7-9
To you who suffer tribulation, [there will come] relief along with us, at the revelation of the Lord Jesus from heaven with his powerful angels in a flaming fire, as he brings vengeance upon those who do not know God and those who do not obey the good news about our Lord Jesus. These very ones will undergo the judicial punishment of everlasting destruction from before the Lord and from the glory of his strength.

Rev 19.11-21 and 21.1-4
I saw the heaven opened, and, look! a white horse! The one seated upon it is called Faithful and True, and he judges and carries on war in righteousness. His eyes are a fiery flame, and upon his head are many crowns. He has a name written that no one knows but he himself, and he is arrayed with an outer garment sprinkled with blood, and the name he is called is The Word of God. Also, the armies that were in heaven were following him on white horses, and they were clothed in white, clean, fine linen. Out of his mouth there protrudes a sharp long sword, that he may strike the nations with it. He will shepherd them with a rod of iron! He treads too the winepress of the anger of the wrath of God the Almighty. Upon his outer garment, even upon his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords. I saw also an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice to all the birds that fly in midheaven: "Come here, be gathered together to the great evening meal of God, that you may eat the flesh of kings, of military commanders, of strong men, of horses and of those riding them, and the flesh of all, of freemen, of slaves, of small ones and great." [Then] I saw the wild beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage the war with the one seated on the horse and with his army. And the wild beast was caught, along with it the false prophet that performed in front of it the signs with which he misled those who received the mark of the wild beast and those who render worship to its image. While still alive, they both were hurled into the fiery lake that burns with sulphur. But the rest were killed off with the long sword of the one seated on the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth. And all the birds were filled with the flesh of them.

Rev 21.1-4
I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the former heaven and the former earth had passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw also the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God and prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his peoples. God himself will be with them, and he will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."

2 Chron 36.12-21
And [Zedekiah, the last king of Israel] continued to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah his God. He did not humble himself on account of Jeremiah the prophet at the order of Jehovah. And even against King Nebuchadnezzar [of Chaldea] he rebelled, who had made him swear by God; and he kept stiffening his neck and hardening his heart so as not to return to Jehovah the God of Israel. Even all the chiefs of the priests and the people themselves committed unfaithfulness on a large scale, according to all the detestable things of the nations, so that they defiled the house of Jehovah which he had sanctified in Jerusalem. And Jehovah the God of their forefathers kept sending against them by means of his messengers, sending again and again, because he felt compassion for his people and for his dwelling. But they were continually making jest at the messengers of the [true] God and despising his words and mocking at his prophets, until the rage of Jehovah came up against his people, until there was no healing. So he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who proceeded to kill their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, neither did he feel compassion for young man or virgin, old or decrepit. Everything He gave into his hand. And all the utensils, great and small, of the house of the [true] God and the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the treasures of the king and of his princes, everything he brought to Babylon. And he proceeded to burn the house of the [true] God and pull down the wall of Jerusalem; and all its dwelling towers they burned with fire and also all its desirable articles, so as to cause ruin. Furthermore, he carried off those remaining from the sword captive to Babylon, and they came to be servants to him and his sons until the royalty of Persia began to reign; to fulfill Jehovah's word by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had paid off its sabbaths. All the days of lying desolated it kept sabbath, to fulfill seventy years.

Deut 31.16-21, 24-29
Jehovah now said to Moses: "Look! You are lying down [in the grave] with your forefathers; and this people will certainly get up and have immoral intercourse with foreign gods of the land to which they are going, in their very midst, and they will certainly forsake me and break my covenant that I have concluded with them. At that my anger will indeed blaze against them in that day, and I shall certainly forsake them and conceal my face from them, and they must become something to be consumed; and many calamities and distresses must come upon them, and they will be bound to say in that day, 'Is it not because our God is not in our midst that these calamities have come upon us?' As for me, I shall absolutely conceal my face in that day because of all the badness that they have done, because they have turned to other gods. And now write for yourselves this song and teach it to the sons of Israel. Place it in their mouths in order that this song may serve as my witness against the sons of Israel. For I shall bring them to the ground that I have sworn about to their forefathers, which flows with milk and honey, and they will certainly eat and be satisfied and grow fat and turn to other gods, and they will indeed serve them and treat me with disrespect and break my covenant. And it must occur that when many calamities and distresses will come upon them, this song must also answer before them as a witness, because it should not be forgotten out of the mouth of their offspring, for I well know their inclination that they are developing today before I bring them into the land about which I have sworn."
24 And it came about that as soon as Moses had finished writing the words of this law in a book until their completion, Moses began to command the Levites, the carriers of the ark of Jehovah's covenant, saying: "Taking this book of the law, you must place it at the side of the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, and it must serve as a witness there against you. For I well know your rebelliousness and your stiff neck. If while I am yet alive with you today, you have proved rebellious in behavior toward Jehovah, then how much more so after my death! Congregate to me all the older men of your tribes and your officers, and let me speak in their hearing these words, and let me take the heavens and the earth as witnesses against them. For I well know that after my death you will without fail act ruinously, and you will certainly turn aside from the way about which I have commanded you; and calamity will be bound to befall you at the close of the days, because you will do what is bad in the eyes of Jehovah so as to offend him by the works of your hands.

Ezek 36.16-32
The word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying: "Son of man, the house of Israel [were] dwelling upon their soil, and they kept making it unclean with their way and with their dealings. Like the uncleanness of menstruation their way has become before me. And I have poured out my rage upon them on account of the blood that they had poured out upon the land, which they had made unclean with their dungy idols. And I have scattered them among the nations, so that they were dispersed among the lands. According to their way and according to their dealings I judged them. So they came in to the nations, and people proceeded to profane my holy name, saying with reference to them, 'These are the people of Jehovah, and from his land they have gone out.' [So] I shall have compassion on my holy name, which the house of Israel have profaned among the nations. Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: "Not for your sakes am I doing [it], O house of Israel, but for my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you have come in. I shall certainly sanctify my great name, which was being profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations will have to know that I am Jehovah," is the declaration of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, "when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. And I will take you out of the nations and collect you together out of all the lands and bring you in upon your soil. And I will sprinkle upon you clean water, and you will become clean; from all your impurities and from all your dungy idols I shall cleanse you. I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I shall put inside you, and I will take away the heart of stone from you and give you a heart of flesh. My spirit I shall put inside you, and I will act so that in my regulations you will walk, and my judgments you will keep and actually carry out. And you will certainly dwell in the land that I gave to your forefathers, and you must become my people and I myself shall become your God. And I will save you from all your impurities and call to the grain and make it abound, and I shall put upon you no famine. And I shall certainly make the fruitage of the tree abound, and the produce of the field, in order that you may no more receive among the nations the reproach of famine. And you will be bound to remember your bad ways and your dealings that were not good, and you will be bound to feel a loathing at your own person on account of your errors and on account of your detestable things. Not for your sakes am I doing [this]," is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah, "let it be known to you. Be ashamed and feel humiliation because of your ways, O house of Israel."'"

Acts 13.20-22
After these things he gave them judges until Samuel the prophet. But from then on they demanded a king, and God gave them Saul son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And after removing him, he raised up for them David as king, respecting whom he bore witness and said, "I have found David the son of Jesse, a man agreeable to my heart, who will do all the things I desire."

Psalms 89.35-37
I have sworn in my holiness,
To David I will not tell lies.
His seed itself will prove to be even to time indefinite,
And his throne as the sun in front of me.
As the moon it will be firmly established for time indefinite,
And as a faithful witness in the skies."

Acts 8.32-35
Now the passage of Scripture that he was reading aloud was this [from Isaiah 53]: "As a sheep he was brought to the slaughter, and as a lamb that is voiceless before its shearer, so he does not open his mouth. During his humiliation the judgment was taken away from him. Who will tell the details of his generation? Because his life is taken away from the earth." In answer the eunuch said to Philip: "I beg you, About whom does the prophet say this? About himself or about some other man?" Philip opened his mouth and, starting with this Scripture, he declared to him the good news about Jesus.
Acts 2.22,23:
"Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man publicly shown by God to you through powerful works and portents and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know, this [man], as one delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you fastened to a stake by the hand of lawless men and did away with."
Acts 13.27,28:
For the inhabitants of Jerusalem and their rulers did not know this One, but, when acting as judges, they fulfilled the things voiced by the Prophets, which things are read aloud every Sabbath, and although they found no cause for death, they demanded of Pilate that he be executed.

1 Pet 2.4-10
Coming to him as to a living stone, rejected, it is true, by men, but chosen, precious, with God, you yourselves also as living stones are being built up a spiritual house for the purpose of a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it is in Scripture: "Look! I am laying in Zion a select stone, a precious top cornerstone, and no one exercising faith in it will by any means be disappointed." It is to you that he is precious, because you are believers; but to those not believing, "the very same stone that the builders rejected has become the head of the corner," and "a stone of stumbling and a rock-mass of offense." These are stumbling because they are disobedient to the word, into which end they were put. But you are "a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for special possession, that you should declare abroad the excellencies" of the one that called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. For you were once not a people, but are now God's people; you were those who had not been shown mercy, but are now those who have been shown mercy.

Ephesians 2.11-22
Therefore keep bearing in mind that formerly you were people of the nations as to flesh; "uncircumcision" you were called by that which is called "circumcision" made in the flesh with hands— that you were at that particular time without Christ, alienated from the state of Israel and strangers to the covenants of the promise, and you had no hope and were without God in the world. But now in union with Christ Jesus you who were once far off have come to be near by the blood of the Christ. For he is our peace, he who made the two parties one and destroyed the wall in between that fenced them off. By means of his flesh he abolished the enmity, the Law of commandments with its decrees, that he might create the two peoples in union with himself into one new man and make peace; and that he might fully reconcile both peoples in one body to God through the execution post [of Christ], because he had killed off the enmity by means of himself. And he came and declared the good news of peace to you, the ones far off, and peace to those near, because through him we, both peoples, have the approach to the Father by one spirit. Certainly, therefore, you are no longer strangers and alien residents, but you are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God, and you have been built up upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone. In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah. In union with him you, too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit.

Ephesians 3:5-6
In other generations this secret was not made known to the sons of men as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by spirit, namely, that people of the nations should be joint heirs and fellow members of the body and partakers with us of the promise in union with Christ Jesus through the good news.

Romans 9.23-26
That he might make known the riches of his glory upon vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, namely, us, whom he called not only from among Jews but also from among nations. It is as he says also in Hosea: "Those not my people I will call 'my people,' and her who was not beloved 'beloved'; and in the place where it was said to them, 'you are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'

Romans 11:25b-26a
A dulling of sensibilities has happened in part to Israel until the full number of people of the nations has come in, and in this manner all Israel will be saved.

verse 23
They also, if they do not remain in their lack of faith, will be grafted [back] in; for God is able to graft them in again.
[Paul was using the illustration of a arborist (God) tending an olive tree (the Kingdom) lopping off dead branches (the faithless Jews) and grafting in fruitful branches (responsive non-Jews). Note that he says Jews can be reconnected to the Kingdom IF they repent. That is up to them. It is not predestined.]

Rom 9.27-29
Moreover, Isaiah cries out concerning Israel: "Although the number of the sons of Israel may be as the sand of the sea, it is the remnant that will be saved. For Jehovah will make an accounting on the earth, concluding it and cutting it short." Also, just as Isaiah had said aforetime: "Unless Jehovah of armies had left a seed to us, we should have become just like Sodom, and we should have been made just like Gomorrah."

Romans 9:1-5
I am telling the truth in Christ; I am not lying, since my conscience bears witness with me in holy spirit, that I have great grief and unceasing pain in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were separated as the cursed one from the Christ in behalf of my brothers, my relatives according to the flesh, who, as such, are Israelites, to whom belong the adoption as sons and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the sacred service and the promises; to whom the forefathers belong and from whom the Christ came according to the flesh: God, who is over all, be blessed forever. Amen.
