Deuteronomy Chapter 30

¹When all these things have come upon you, the blessing or the curse, which I have set before you, and you take them to heart among all the nations where Yahweh your God has driven you, ²and return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice exactly as I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul, ³then Yahweh your God will release you from captivity, have compassion on you, gather you and return you from all the peoples where Yahweh your God has scattered you. ⁴[Even] if [you're] banished to the farthest place [under] the sky, Yahweh your God will gather you from there and bring you back from there. ⁵Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your fathers. ⁶Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live. ⁷Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who pursued you. ⁸You'll return and obey Yahweh's voice, and do all his commandments which I command you today. ⁹Yahweh your God will make you prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your fathers, ¹⁰if you obey Yahweh your God's voice, keeping his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

¹¹For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant. ¹²[It is not] in heaven, [that you might] say, "Who'll go up to heaven for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?" ¹³Nor is it beyond the sea, [that you might] say, "Who'll go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may do it?" ¹⁴But the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you can do it. ¹⁵See today, I have set before you life and good, or death and evil. ¹⁶For I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, so that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land which you are going in to possess. ¹⁷But if your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship other gods, and serve them, ¹⁸I declare to you today that you'll surely perish. You won't prolong your days in the land which you're crossing the Jordan to enter and possess. ¹⁹I call heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may live, ²⁰loving Yahweh your God, obeying his voice, and clinging to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may live in the land which Yahweh swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

Zechariah Chapter 2

Zechariah Chapter 3

¹He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh's angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary. ²Yahweh said to Satan, "Yahweh rebuke you, Satan! Yes, Yahweh who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn't this a burning stick plucked out of the fire?"

³Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. ⁴He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, "Take the filthy garments off of him." To him he said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich clothing."

⁵I said, "Let them set a clean turban on his head." So they set a clean turban on his head, and clothed him; and Yahweh's angel was standing by.

⁶Yahweh's angel protested to Joshua, saying, ⁷"Thus says Yahweh of Armies: 'If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by. ⁸Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will produce my servant, the Branch. ⁹For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. ¹⁰In that day,' says Yahweh of Armies, 'you will invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.'"

Zechariah Chapter 4

¹The angel who talked with me came again, and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. ²He said to me, "What do you see?" I said, "I have seen a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl on the top of it, and its seven lamps on it; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it; ³and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

⁴I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What are these, my lord?"

⁵Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

⁶Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, "This is the word of Yahweh to Zerubbabel, saying, 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says Yahweh of Armies. ⁷Who are you, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of 'Grace, grace, to it!'"

⁸Moreover the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ⁹"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands shall also finish it; and you will know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. ¹⁰Indeed, who despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. These are the eyes of Yahweh, which run back and forth through the whole earth."

¹¹Then I asked him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?"

¹²I asked him the second time, "What are these two olive branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that pour the golden oil out of themselves?"

¹³He answered me, "Don't you know what these are?" I said, "No, my lord."

¹⁴Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."

Daniel Chapter 7

¹⁵As for me, Daniel, my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head troubled me. ¹⁶I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things. ¹⁷These great animals, which are four, are four kings, who shall arise out of the earth. ¹⁸But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.

¹⁹Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal, which was diverse from all of them, exceedingly terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of bronze; which devoured, broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; ²⁰and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other [horn] which came up, and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was more stout than its fellows. ²¹I saw, and that horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; ²²until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.

²³Thus he said, The fourth animal shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. ²⁴As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise: and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings. ²⁵He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

²⁶But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end. ²⁷The kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him.

²⁸Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts much troubled me, and my face was changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart.

Daniel Chapter 8

¹In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, after what appeared to me at the first. ²I saw in the vision as I watched that I was in the citadel of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision I was by the river Ulai. ³Then I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. ⁴I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no animals could stand before him, neither was there any who could deliver out of his hand; but he acted according to his will, and magnified himself.

Revelation Chapter 14

¹⁷Another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven. He also had a sharp sickle. ¹⁸Another angel came out from the altar, he who has power over fire, and he called with a great voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, "Send your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for the earth's grapes are fully ripe!" ¹⁹The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great winepress of the wrath of God. ²⁰The winepress was trodden outside of the city, and blood came out from the winepress, even to the bridles of the horses, as far as one thousand six hundred stadia.

Revelation Chapter 15

¹I saw another great and marvelous sign in the sky: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them God's wrath is finished.

²I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who overcame the beast, his image, and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. ³They sang the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, "Great and marvelous are your actions, ForeverOne God, the Almighty! Righteous and true are your ways, O King of the nations. ⁴Who wouldn't fear you, ForeverOne, and glorify your name? For you only are holy. For all the nations will come and worship in your presence. For your righteous-acts have been revealed."

⁵After these things I looked, and the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. ⁶The seven angels who had the seven plagues came out, clothed with pure, bright linen, and wearing golden sashes around their breasts.

⁷One of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever. ⁸The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power. No one was able to enter into the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels would be finished.

Revelation Chapter 16

¹I heard a loud voice out of the temple, saying to the seven angels, "Go and pour out the seven bowls of the wrath of God on the earth!"

²The first went, and poured out his bowl into the earth, and it became a harmful and evil sore on the people who had the mark of the beast, and who worshiped his image.

³The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man. Every living thing in the sea died.

⁴The third poured out his bowl into the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood. ⁵I heard the angel of the waters saying, "You are righteous, who are and who were, O Holy One, because you have judged these things. ⁶For they poured out the blood of the saints and the prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve this."
