And a Branch shall go out from the trunk of Jesse, and a Shoot shall grow out of his roots.

The lofty eyes of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down; but Jehovah, He alone, shall be exalted in that day.

And again, Isaiah says: There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.

I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify these things to you, to the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.

So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall drive him out.

The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the cleansing of the peoples.

And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up,

that everyone believing into Him should not perish but have eternal life.

And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all to Myself.

And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

Then you shall be in awe and become radiant, and your heart shall tremble and swell for joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come unto you.

For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you shall suckle, you shall be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees.

And I will set a sign among them. And those among them who escape I will send to the nations; to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud (who draw the bow), to Tubal, and Javan; to the far away coasts that have not heard of My fame, nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem,

saying, Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the East and have come to do homage to Him.

And I say to you that many will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of Heaven.

and in His name the Gentiles will hope.

a Light to bring revelation to the Gentiles, and the Glory of Your people Israel.

Now there were certain Greeks among those who came up to do homage at the feast.

They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, Sir, we wish to see Jesus.

When they heard these things they kept silent; and they glorified God, saying, Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance unto life.

I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you,

to open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, and from the authority of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me.

Therefore let it be known to you that the salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles, and they will hear it!

and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and sing unto Your name.

And again: Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles. Praise Him, all you peoples.

And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.

And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places,

Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you shall suckle, you shall be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

Return to your rest, O my soul, for Jehovah has dealt bountifully with you.

Thus says Jehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.

The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, says Jehovah of Hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says Jehovah of Hosts.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

and to give you who are afflicted rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from Heaven with His mighty angels,

These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power,

Therefore we also pray always for you that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of His goodness and the work of faith with power,

Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear so that none of you should show evidence of falling short.

There remains therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God.

Let us therefore be diligent to enter into that rest, that no one fall according to the same example of disobedience.

And there is no creature that is not revealed in His presence, but all things are naked and laid bare to the eyes of Him to whom we must give answer.

For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.

that the testing of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found unto praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

receiving the outcome of your faith; the salvation of your souls.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory in Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them shout aloud upon their beds.
