And in them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says: Hearing you will hear and shall not at all understand, and seeing you will see and by no means perceive;

All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

Tell the daughter of Zion, Behold, your King is coming to you, meek, and sitting on a donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey.

I will open my mouth in a parable; I will utter dark sayings of old,

I will extend my ear to a parable; I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I proclaim them to you.

Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the judgment than for you.

Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery kept silent since the world began,

but now has been made manifest, and by the prophetic Scriptures has been made known to all nations, according to the commandment of the eternal God, for obedience to the faith;

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, having been hidden, which God appointed before the ages for our glory,

which in other ages was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His holy apostles and prophets:

and to make all see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hidden in God who created all things through Jesus Christ;

of which I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the Word of God,

the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.

who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has deprived death of its power and brought life and incorruptibility to light through the gospel,

in hope of eternal life which God, who is without lie, promised before the beginning of time,

but has in due time proclaimed His Word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Savior;

God, Who at various times and in various ways spoke in times past to the fathers by the prophets,

searching for what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ and the glories after these things.

To them it was revealed that, not to themselves, but to us they were ministering the things which now have been reported to you through those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from Heaven; things which angels desire to look into.

Then the King will say to those on His right hand, Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You gave Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

Known to God from eternity are all His works.

He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you

who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope might be in God.

And all who dwell on the earth will do homage to him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to ascend out of the bottomless pit and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth will marvel, whose names are not written in the Book of Life from the foundation of the world, when they see the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
