A. D. 30. Fall on us, and hide us from the face 14. Let us be glad and rejoice, and of him that sitteth on the throne, and give honour to him: for the marriage from the wrath of the Lamb, 16. And of the Lamb is come, and his wife after this I beheld, and, lo, a great hath made herself ready, xix. 7. And multitude, which no man could num- he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are ber, of all nations, and kindreds, and they which are called unto the marpeople, and tongues, stood before the riage supper of the Lamb. And he throne, and before the Lamb, clothed saith unto me, these are the true saywith white robes, and palms in their ings of God, 9. And there came unto hands; And cried with a loud voice, me one of the seven angels which had saying, Salvation to our God, which the seven vials full of the seven last sitteth upon the throne, and unto the plagues, and talked with me, saying, Lamb, vii. 9, 10. And I said unto Come hither, I will shew thee the him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said bride, the Lamb's wife, xxi. 9. And to me, These are they which came out the wall of the city had twelve founof great tribulation, and have washed dations, and in them the names of the their robes and made them white in twelve apostles of the Lamb, 14. And the blood of the Lamb. For the Lamb I which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, vii. 14. 17. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death, xii. 11. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, xiii. 8. And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads, xiv. 1. These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the first-fruits unto God and to the Lamb, 4. The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone, in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb, 10. And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true arethy ways, thou King of saints, xv. 3. These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful, xvii.

saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it. And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon to shine in it for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof, 22, 23. And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb's book of life, 27. And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him, xxii. 1-3.

b He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities, Isa. liii. 11. Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips, Hos. xiv. 2. Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many, Matt. xx. 28. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 1 Cor. xv. 3. For he hath made him

For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified, x. 4-14. Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye are healed, 1 Pet. ii. 24. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit, iii. 18. And he is the propitiation for our sins and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world, 1 John ii. 2. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin, iii. 5.

Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father, Gal. i. 4. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us : for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree, iii. 13. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time, 1 Tim. ii. 6. Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works, Tit. ii. 14. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high, Heb. i. 3. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people, ii. 17. How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God, ix. 14. So Christ was once offered And it shall be upon Aaron's foreto bear the sins of many; and unto head, that Aaron may bear the inithem that look for him shall he ap-quity of the holy things, which the pear the second time without sin unto children of Israel shall hallow in their salvation, 28.

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places smooth. And the glory of the Lonp shall be revealed, and all fesh shall see it together : for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it, Isa. xl. 3-5. Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me and the LORD whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in behold he shall come, saith the LORD of hosts, Mal. iii. 1. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall. And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet, before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD, iv. 2-5. And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fa thers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to

And thou,child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest : for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us, To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace, 76-79.
