“Indeed, I have inscribed [a picture of] you on the palms of My hands; Your city walls [Zion] are continually before Me.

“Lift up your eyes and look around [at the returning exiles]; All these gather together and they come to you [to rebuild you]. As I live,”

declares the LORD,

“You [Zion] will indeed clothe yourself with all of them as jewels and tie them on as a bride.

“Then [Zion], you will say in your heart,

Who has borne me these children, Since I have been bereaved of my children And am barren, an exile and a wanderer?

And who has reared these? Indeed, I was left alone;

From where then did these children come?’”

This is what the Lord GOD says, “Listen carefully, I will lift up My hand to the [Gentile] nations And set up My banner to the peoples; And they will bring your sons in the fold of their garments, And your daughters will be carried on their shoulders.

“Kings will be your attendants, And their princesses your nurses. They will bow down to you with their faces to the earth…

And lick the dust of your feet;

And you shall know [with an understanding based on personal experience] that I am the LORD;

For they shall not be put to shame who wait and hope expectantly for Me.

In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword [of judgment]; and His face [reflecting His majesty and the Shekinah glory] was like the sun shining in [all] its power [at midday]. They will hunger no longer, nor thirst anymore; nor will the sun beat down on them, nor any [scorching] heat;

“I will bring them (all Israel) back home again from the land of Egypt And gather them from Assyria, And I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon [the land on the east and on the west of the Jordan] Until no room can be found for them.

So I say, have they stumbled so as to fall [to spiritual ruin]?

Certainly not!

But by their transgression [their rejection of the Messiah] salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make Israel jealous [when they realize what they have forfeited].

And the grapes in the wine press were trampled and crushed outside the city, and blood poured from the wine press, reaching up to the horses’ bridles, for a distance of sixteen hundred stadia.

“A Redeemer (Messiah) will come to Zion, And to those in Jacob (Israel) who turn from transgression (sin),”

declares the LORD.

“As for Me, this is My covenant with them,”

says the LORD:

“My Spirit which is upon you [writing the law of God on the heart], and My words which I have put in your mouth shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouths of your [true, spiritual] children, nor from the mouth of your children’s children,”

says the LORD,

“from now and forever.”

“Who are these who fly like a cloud And like doves to their windows?

Then you will say in your heart,

“Who has begotten these for me, Since I have lost my children and am desolate,

A captive, and wandering to and fro?

And who has brought these up?

There I was, left alone;

But these, where were they?’ ”

And the Daughter of Zion is abandoned like a shelter in a vineyard, like a shack in a cucumber field, like a city besieged. For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,”

says your God.

“For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else. And instead of humiliation your people will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double [what they had forfeited]; Everlasting joy will be theirs.

I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, My soul will exult in my God; For He has clothed me with garments of salvation, He has covered me with a robe of righteousness, As a bridegroom puts on a turbin, And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Go through, go through the gates, Clear the way for the people; Build up, build up the highway,Remove the stones, lift up a banner over the peoples.

Listen carefully, the LORD has proclaimed to the end of the earth, Say to the Daughter of Zion,

“Look now, your salvation is coming [in the LORD];

Indeed, His reward is with Him, and His restitution accompanies Him.”

The nations [the redeemed people from the earth] will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring into it their glory. And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. And The Lamb and The City do not need the Sun or the Moon to illuminate it, for the glory of God illuminates it, and The Lamb is its lamp.

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter–like the light of seven days–on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter–like the light of seven days–on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.

See the stone I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave on it an inscription, declares the LORD of Hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.

For who has despised the day of small things?

But these seven eyes of the LORD, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”

“Arise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion! For I will make your horn iron And I will make your hoofs bronze; That you may beat many peoples in pieces [trampling down your enemies], That you may devote to the LORD their unjust gain (pagan possessions) And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

Get up and smash them to pieces, daughter of Zion, because I will make your horn like iron and your hooves like bronze! And you will beat many people to pieces, and I will consecrate their dishonest gain to the LORD and their assets to the Lord of the entire earth.”

“The sons of those who oppressed you will come bowing down to you [in submission], And all those who despised you and treated you disrespectfully will bow down at the soles of your feet, And they will call you the City of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

“You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin. And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.

But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

He who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God], I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God; he will most certainly never be put out of it, and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which descends out of heaven from My God, and My [own] new name.

And the LORD their God shall save them on that day As the flock of His people; For they are like the [precious] jewels of a crown, Displayed and glittering in His land. And when the Chief Shepherd (Christ) appears, you will receive the [conqueror’s] unfading crown of glory.
