17 בֶּן־אָדָם בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל יֹשְׁבִים עַל־אַדְמָתָם וַיְטַמְּאוּ אֹותָהּ בְּדַרְכָּם וּבַעֲלִילֹותָם כְּטֻמְאַת הַנִּדָּה הָיְתָה דַרְכָּם לְפָנָי׃

Scriptural Confirmations # 15

  
/ 101  
  

15. 13. From Daniel and the Prophets.

The Lord was represented before Daniel in a form almost like that in which He was presented before John (Revelation 1:14-15).

Before Daniel (Daniel 10:5-6), and then almost like things happened (12:6-7).

In that day, butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left in the midst of the land (Isaiah 7:21-22, 25). The Church of the Lord.

(Jehovah of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify, for let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense, for a gin and a snare for the inhabitant of Jerusalem. (Isaiah 8:13-14; Matthew 21:42-44; Luke 20:17-18).)

(The people walking in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Unto us a Boy is born, unto us a Son is given, whose name is Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, the Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace; to establish the Kingdom in judgment and justice from henceforth to eternity (Isaiah 9:1, 5-6).)

In that day the remnant of Israel shall no more stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth (Isaiah 10:20-22). Wherefore the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, etc. They shall not do hurt in all the mountain of holiness, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah. It shall surely come to pass in that day that the Lord shall again recover the remnant of His people (Isaiah 11:6-9, 11-16).

John 1:1-14

Studie

  

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made through him. Without him was not anything made that has been made.

4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overcome it.

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

7 The same came as a witness, that he might testify about the light, that all might believe through him.

8 He was not the light, but was sent that he might testify about the light.

9 The true light that enlightens everyone was coming into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world didn't recognize him.

11 He came to his own, and those who were his own didn't receive him.

12 But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name:

13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.
