And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any

more.

O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.

ISAIAH, 2

O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.

PSALM 117

The Messiah

Being selections from the many Prophecies in
The Old Testament

Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is;

Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, “Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?

66

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ (Messiah)."

For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,

For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.

ACTS, 4

THE PROMISE

And God said unto the Serpent

ECAUSE thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life. And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

GENESIS, 3

And God said unto Abraham

In blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies. And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice. GENESIS, 22

And Jacob blessed Judah

Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father's children shall bow down before

thee. Judah is a lion's whelp: from the prey, my
son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he
couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall
rouse him up? The sceptre shall not depart from
Judah, nor a lawgiver until Shiloh come; and
unto him shall the gathering of the people be.
GENESIS, 49

And Balaam prophesied

He hath said, which heard the words of God,
and knew the knowledge of the most High, which
saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a
trance, but having his eyes open: I shall see him,
but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh:
there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre
shall rise out of Israel.

NUMBERS, 24

And Moses said

The Lord said unto me, They have well spoken
that which they have spoken. I will raise them up
a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto
thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he
shall speak unto them all that I shall command
him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever
will not hearken unto my words which he shall
speak in my name, I will require it of him.

DEUTERONOMY, 18
