Scriptural Confirmations #59
59. 31. I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies: my house shall be built in it. Jehovah of Hosts shall yet choose Jerusalem (Zechariah 1:16-17).
I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. He said, I go to measure Jerusalem to see what is the breadth thereof and what is the length thereof. For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto Jerusalem a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her. Jehovah shall choose Jerusalem again (Zechariah 2:1-12).
Jehovah chooseth Jerusalem; is not this a brand snatched from the fire (Zechariah 3:2)?
Jehovah said, I will remove the iniquity of the land in one day. In that day shall ye call, a man to his neighbor, under the vine and under the fig tree (Zechariah 3:9-10).
Thus said Jehovah; I will return to Zion and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; therefore Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts the mountain of holiness. The streets of the city shall yet be filled with boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. I will bring them that they may dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, that they may be My people, and I may be their God, in truth and justice. Thus many people shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, to entreat the faces of Jehovah (Zechariah 8:2-5, 8, 12, 15, 20-22).
In that day all the nations of the earth shall be gathered together against Jerusalem. In that day shall Jehovah protect the inhabitant of Jerusalem. The house of David shall be as God, as the angel of Jehovah before them. In that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. But I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitant of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayers, that they may look upon Me whom they pierced (Zechariah 12:3, 8-10).
In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. In that day I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and I will cause the unclean spirit to pass out of the land (Zechariah 13:1-2).
It shall be one day which is known unto Jehovah, not day nor night; for about evening time it shall be light. And it shall be in that day that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem, in summer and in winter. And Jehovah shall be King over all the earth: in that day shall Jehovah be one, and His name one. There shall be no more curse upon the earth, but Jerusalem shall dwell securely (Zechariah 14:6-9, 11). In that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of Jehovah (verse 21).
(All the gates of Zion are devastated (Lamentations 1:4). Jehovah hath turned me back; He laid me waste (verse 13). My sons are devastated (verse 16). Devastation and breaking are come upon us (Lamentations 3:47).
Thine iniquity is consummated, He will visit thine iniquity. He will manifest thy sins (Lamentations 4:22).
Lamentations 4
1
How is the gold become dim! [how] is the most pure gold changed! The stones of the sanctuary are poured out at the head of every street.
2
The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold, How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
3
Even the jackals draw out the breast, they nurse their young ones: The daughter of my people has become cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.
4
The tongue of the nursing child clings to the roof of his mouth for thirst: The young children ask bread, and no man breaks it to them.
5
Those who did feed delicately are desolate in the streets: Those who were brought up in scarlet embrace dunghills.
6
For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, That was overthrown as in a moment, and no hands were laid on her.
7
Her nobles were purer than snow, they were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than rubies, their polishing was as of sapphire.
8
Their appearance is blacker than a coal; they are not known in the streets: Their skin clings to their bones; it is withered, it is become like a stick.
9
Those who are killed with the sword are better than those who are killed with hunger; For these pine away, stricken through, for want of the fruits of the field.
10
The hands of the pitiful women have boiled their own children; They were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people.
11
Yahweh has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his fierce anger; He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
12
The kings of the earth didn't believe, neither all the inhabitants of the world, That the adversary and the enemy would enter into the gates of Jerusalem.
13
[It is] because of the sins of her prophets, [and] the iniquities of her priests, That have shed the blood of the just in the midst of her.
14
They wander as blind men in the streets, they are polluted with blood, So that men can't touch their garments.
15
Depart! they cried to them, Unclean! depart, depart, don't touch! When they fled away and wandered, men said among the nations, They shall no more live [here].
16
The anger of Yahweh has scattered them; he will no more regard them: They didn't respect the persons of the priests, they didn't favor the elders.
17
Our eyes do yet fail [in looking] for our vain help: In our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save.
18
They hunt our steps, so that we can't go in our streets: Our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come.
19
Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky: They chased us on the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.
20
The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Yahweh, was taken in their pits; Of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.
21
Rejoice and be glad, daughter of Edom, that dwell in the land of Uz: The cup shall pass through to you also; you shall be drunken, and shall make yourself naked.
22
The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion; he will no more carry you away into captivity: He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins.
