He gives a command to the earth, and what he says is quickly done.

While I was praying, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the earlier vision, came flying down to where I was. It was the time for the evening sacrifice to be offered.

Then I saw the angel who had been speaking to me step forward, and another angel came to meet him.

The first one said to the other, "Run and tell that young man with the measuring line that there are going to be so many people and so much livestock in Jerusalem that it will be too big to have walls.

They are disappointed because so little progress is being made. But they will see Zerubbabel continuing to build the Temple, and they will be glad." The angel said to me, "The seven lamps are the seven eyes of the LORD, which see all over the earth."

For the Son of Man will come like the lightning which flashes across the whole sky from the east to the west.

The great trumpet will sound, and he will send out his angels to the four corners of the earth, and they will gather his chosen people from one end of the world to the other.

He will send the angels out to the four corners of the earth to gather God's chosen people from one end of the world to the other.
