the labourers are few;
Peter's Declaration About Jesus
Mk 8:27-30; Lk 9:18-21
Matthew 16:13-20
13 (Lk 9:18-20; Mt 8:20) When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea
Philippi, He asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
14 (Mt 14:2; Mk 6:15) They said, "Some say that You are John the Baptist,
others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 (Ps 42:2; Jn 11:27) Simon Peter replied, "You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God."
17 (Gal 1:16; Jn 1:42; 21:15-17) Jesus answered him,
"Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for flesh and blood
has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
18 (Jn 1:42; Job 38:17) And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock
I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 (Mt 18:18; Isa 22:22; Jn 20:23) I will give you the keys of the kingdom
of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."
20 (Mk 8:30; Lk 9:21) Then He commanded His disciples to tell no one
that He was Jesus the Christ.
[13] When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his
disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
[14] And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias;
and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
[15] He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
[16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the
living God.
[17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona:
for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is
in heaven.
[18] And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I
will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
[19] And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and
whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever
thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
[20] Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was
Jesus the Christ.

Mk 16:14-18; Lk 24:36-49; Jn 20:19-23; Ac 1:6-8
19 (Mk 16:15-16; Ac 1:8) Go therefore and make disciples of all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father
and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 (Mt 18:20; Ac 2:42) teaching them to observe all things I have commanded
you. And remember, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
[19] Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Acts 20:24
24 (Ac 21:13; 2Co 4:1) But none of these things deter me. Nor do I count
my life of value to myself, so that I may joyfully finish my course
and the ministry which I have received from the Lord Jesus, to testify
to the gospel of the grace of God.
[24] But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto
myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I
have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.\

Luke 19:1-5
Jesus and Zacchaeus
1 (Lk 18:35) Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
2 A man was there named Zacchaeus who was a chief tax collector,
and he was rich.
3 (Jn 12:21) He tried to see who Jesus was, but was not able
from the crowd, because he was little in stature.
4 (1Ki 10:27; 1Ch 27:28) So he ran ahead and climbed up into
a sycamore tree to see Him, for He was to pass that way.
[1] And Jesus entered and passed through Jericho.
[2] And, behold, there was a man named Zacchaeus, which was the chief among
the publicans, and he was rich.
[3] And he sought to see Jesus who he was; and could not for the press,
because he was little of stature.
[4] And he ran before, and climbed up into a sycomore tree to see him: for
he was to pass that way.
Luke 19:5-6
5 When Jesus came to the vicinity, He looked up and saw him,
and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down,
for today I must remain at your house."
6 So he hurried and came down, and received Him joyfully
[5] And when Jesus came to the place, he looked up, and saw him, and said
unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at
thy house.
[6] And he made haste, and came down, and received him joyfully.
Ephesians 2:10
10 (Eph 4:24; 2Co 5:17; Eph 1:4) For we are His workmanship, created
in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand,
so that we should walk in them.
[10] For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.

and said to him, "Zacchaeus, hurry and come down,
for today I must remain at your house."

unto him, Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for to day I must abide at
thy house.
Luke 19:7
7 (Mt 9:11; Lk 15:2) When they saw it, they all murmured, saying,
"He has gone to be the guest of a man who is a sinner."
[7] And when they saw it, they all murmured, saying, That he was gone to be
guest with a man that is a sinner.
Why murmur when you are a sinner too?
1 Timomty 1:15
15 (1Ti 3:1; 2Ti 2:11) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance,
that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am the worst.

Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.

half of my possessions to the poor. And if I have taken anything from anyone
by false accusation, I will repay him four times as much."
9 (Ro 4:16; Gal 3:7) Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this
house, because he also is a son of Abraham.
10 (Eze 34:16; Mt 10:6) For the Son of Man has come to seek
and to save that which was lost."
[8] And Zacchaeus stood, and said unto the Lord; Behold, Lord, the half of
my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by
false accusation, I restore him fourfold.
[9] And Jesus said unto him, This day is salvation come to this house,
forsomuch as he also is a son of Abraham.
[10] For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

Daniel 4
Nebuchadnezzar's Second Dream
1 (Da 6:25; 3:4) Nebuchadnezzar the king,
to all peoples, nations, and languages, who dwell in all the earth:
Peace be multiplied to you.
2 (Da 3:26) I thought it good to declare the signs and wonders that
the Most High God has done for me.
3 (Da 2:44; Ps 105:27) How great are His signs,
and how mighty are His wonders!
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom,
and His dominion is from generation to generation.
4 (Isa 47:7-8) I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my house,
and flourishing in my palace.
5 (Da 2:1) I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed
and the visions of my head troubled me.
6 (Da 2:2) Therefore I made a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon
before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.
7 (Isa 44:25; Jer 27:9-10) Then came in the magicians, the astrologers,
the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers, and I told the dream before them;
but they did not make known to me its interpretation.
8 (Da 1:7; 4:18) But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name
was Belteshazzar according to the name of my god and in whom is the Spirit
of the Holy God, and before him I told the dream, saying,
9 (Da 2:48; 5:11) "Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know
that the Spirit of the Holy God is in you and no secret troubles you,
tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.
10 (Da 4:5) Now these were the visions of my mind while on my bed:
I saw a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great.
11 (Dt 9:1; Da 4:21-22) The tree grew and became strong, and its height
reached heaven, and it was visible to the end of all the earth.
12 (Eze 17:23; La 4:20) Its leaves were fair, and its fruit much,
and in it was food for all. The animals of the field had shadow under it,
and the fowl of the heavens lived in its boughs, and all flesh
was fed of it.
13 (Dt 33:2; Da 7:1) "I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed,
and there was a holy watcher coming down from heaven.
14 (Mt 3:10; Eze 31:12--3) He cried aloud and said thus:
'Hew down the tree and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves
and scatter its fruit. Let the animals get away from under it,
and the fowl from its branches.
15 (Job 14:7-9) Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth,
even with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field.
" 'And let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be
with the animals in the grass of the earth.
16 (Da 4:23; 4:25) Let its heart be changed from that of a man,
let him be given the heart of an animal. And let seven periods
of time pass over it.
17 (Da 4:25; 1Sa 2:8; Jer 27:5-7) " 'This matter is by the decree
of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones,
in order that the living may know that the Most High rules
over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills
and sets up over it the basest of men.'
18 (Ge 41:8; Da 5:8) "This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen.
Now you, Belteshazzar, tell its interpretation to me, because
all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known
to me the interpretation. But you are able, for the Spirit of the Holy God
is in you."
Daniel Interprets the Dream
19 (Da 7:28; 8:27) Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonished
for a while, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spoke and said,
"Belteshazzar, do not let the dream, or its interpretation, trouble you."
Belteshazzar answered and said, "My lord, if only the dream was for those
who hate you, and its interpretation for your enemies!
20 (Da 4:10-12) The tree that you saw, which grew and became strong,
whose height reached to the heavens, and was visible to all the earth,
21 and whose leaves were fair, and its fruit much, and in it was food
for all, under which the animals of the field lived,
and upon whose branches the fowl of the heavens had their habitation:
22 (2Sa 12:7; Da 2:37-38) It is you, O king, who have grown
and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven,
and your dominion to the ends of the earth.
23 (Da 5:21) "Whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down
from heaven and saying, 'Cut the tree down and destroy it, yet
leave the stump of its roots in the ground, even with a band of iron
and bronze, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet
with the dew of heaven, and let its portion be with the animals
of the field until seven periods of time pass over it'-
24 (Ps 107:40; Job 40:11-12) "This is the interpretation, O king,
and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon
my lord the king:
25 (Da 4:17; Ps 83:18; Jer 27:5) You shall be driven away from men,
and your dwelling shall be with the wild animals.
You shall be given grass to eat like oxen, and wet with the dew of heaven.
And seven times shall pass over you, until you have learned that
the Most High rules over the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever
He chooses.
26 (Da 4:15) Inasmuch as they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots,
your kingdom shall be assured to you after you acknowledge that Heaven rules.
27 (1Ki 21:29; Isa 55:6-7) Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable
to you, and break off your sins by righteousness and your iniquities
by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a lengthening
of your prosperity.
The Dream Is Fulfilled
28 (Nu 23:19; Zec 1:6) All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.
29 At the end of twelve months he walked on the roof of the palace
of the kingdom of Babylon.
30 (Isa 37:24-25) The king spoke, saying, "Is this not Babylon the Great
that I myself have built as a royal residence by my mighty power
and for the honor of my majesty?"
31 (Lk 12:20) While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice
from heaven: "O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom
has departed from you!
32 (Da 5:21) And you shall be driven away from men, and your dwelling
shall be with the animals of the field. You shall be given grass
to eat as oxen, and seven periods of time shall pass over
you until you know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men
and gives it to whomever He wills."
33 (Da 4:25; 4:32) Immediately the thing was fulfilled concerning
Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men and ate grass as oxen,
and his body was wet with the dew of heaven until his hairs were grown
like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.
Nebuchadnezzar Praises God
34 (Jer 10:10; Da 12:7) But at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar,
lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my understanding returned to me,
and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honored Him who lives forever:
For His dominion is an everlasting dominion,
and whose kingdom endures from generation to generation.
35 (Ps 115:3; 135:6; Job 42:2) And all the inhabitants of the earth
are reputed as nothing;
and He does according to His will
in the army of heaven
and among the inhabitants of the earth.
And no one can stay His hand or say to Him,
"What have You done?"
36 (Pr 22:4; 2Ch 33:12-13) At the same time my reason returned to me.
And for the glory of my kingdom, my honor and splendor returned to me.
And my counselors and my lords sought me out. Then I was established
in my kingdom, and excellent majesty was added to me.
37 (Dt 32:4; Ex 18:11) Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol
and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true
and His ways just, and those who walk in pride He is able to abase.
Daniel 4
[1] Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that
dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
[2] I thought it good to shew the signs and wonders that the high God hath
wrought toward me.
[3] How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is
an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation.
[4] I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in mine house, and flourishing in my palace:
[5] I saw a dream which made me afraid, and the thoughts upon my bed and
the visions of my head troubled me.
[6] Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before
me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.
[7] Then came in the magicians, the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the
soothsayers: and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known
unto me the interpretation thereof.
[8] But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar,
according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods:
and before him I told the dream, saying,
[9] O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit
of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret troubleth thee, tell me the
visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.
[10] Thus were the visions of mine head in my bed; I saw, and behold a tree
in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.
[11] The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto
heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth:
[12] The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was
meat for all: the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of
the heaven dwelt in the boughs thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.
[13] I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and
an holy one came down from heaven;
[14] He cried aloud, and said thus, Hew down the tree, and cut off his
branches, shake off his leaves, and scatter his fruit: let the beasts get
away from under it, and the fowls from his branches:
[15] Nevertheless leave the stump of his roots in the earth, even with a
band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet
with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass
of the earth:
[16] Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a beast's heart be given
unto him; and let seven times pass over him.
[17] This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the
word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most
High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and
setteth up over it the basest of men.
[18] This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen. Now thou, O Belteshazzar,
declare the interpretation thereof, forasmuch as all the wise men of my
kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation: but thou art
able; for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.
[19] Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour,
and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let
not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar
answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the
interpretation thereof to thine enemies.
[20] The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height
reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth;
[21] Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat
for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches
the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
[22] It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness
is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
[23] And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from
heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump
of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in
the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and
let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over
him;
[24] This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most
High, which is come upon my lord the king:
[25] That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they
shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee,
till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth
it to whomsoever he will.
[26] And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy
kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the
heavens do rule.
[27] Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break
off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the
poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
[28] All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar.
[29] At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of
Babylon.
[30] The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built
for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of
my majesty?
[31] While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven,
saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed
from thee.
[32] And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the
beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven
times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the
kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
[33] The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was
driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the
dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his
nails like birds' claws.
[34] And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto
heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the most
High, and I praised and honoured him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is
an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation:
[35] And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he
doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the
inhabitants
of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?
[36] At the same time my reason returned unto me; and for the glory of my
kingdom, mine honour and brightness returned unto me; and my counsellers and
my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and excellent
majesty was added unto me.
[37] Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven,
all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in
pride he is able to abase.
Ezekiel 38
A Prophecy Against Gog
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 (Eze 39:1; Ge 10:2; Eze 27:13) Son of man, set your face against Gog
of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal,
[mostly likely Russia, Moscow and Tbilisi]
and prophesy against him,
3 (Eze 13:8) and say: Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog,
the prince of Rosh, Meshek and Tubal.
4 (Eze 29:4; 38:15) And I will turn you back and put hooks into your jaws,
and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses, and horsemen,
all of them clothed with all sorts of armor, even a great company
with buckler and shield, all of them handling swords.
[Please note, the modern Russian army derived from the Soviet Era
is still powerful]
5 (Eze 27:10; Ge 10:6; Eze 30:5) Persia, Ethiopia, and Put with them,
all of them with shield and helmet. [Iran, Libya and Ethopia will be part
this alliance]
6 (Ge 10:2-3; Eze 27:14) I will do so to Gomer and all its troops,
Beth Togarmah of the north quarters and all its troops,
and many peoples with you. [Eastern Europe or most likely the
old Khazer kingdom]
7 (Isa 8:9-10) Be prepared and prepare yourself, you and all your companies
that are assembled to you, and be a guard to them.
8 (Isa 24:22; Eze 38:16) After many days you shall be called. In the latter
years you shall come into the land that is restored from the sword,
whose inhabitants have been gathered out of many peoples,
against the mountains of Israel which had been always a waste.
But its people were brought out of the nations, and they, all of them,
are dwelling safely.
9 (Isa 28:2; Jer 4:13) You shall ascend and come like a storm;
you shall be like a cloud to cover the land, you and all your troops,
and many peoples with you.
10 (Ps 36:4; Mic 2:1) Thus says the Lord God: It shall come to pass
on that day that things shall come into your mind and you shall think
an evil thought,
11 (Zec 2:4-5) and you shall say, "I will go up against the land
of unwalled villages. I will go against those who are at rest,
that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls
and having neither bars nor gates,"
12 (Isa 10:6; Eze 29:19) to take spoil and to seize prey,
to turn your hand against the desolate places that are now inhabited,
and against the people who are gathered out of the nations,
who have obtained livestock and goods, who dwell in the midst
of the world.
13 (Eze 27:15; 27:12) Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish
with all its villages shall say to you, "Have you come to take spoil?
Have you gathered your company to seize prey, to carry away silver
and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to take great spoil?"
14 (Eze 38:8; 38:11) Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog:
Thus says the Lord God: On that day when My people of Israel dwell safely,
shall you not know it?
15 (Eze 39:2; 38:6) And you shall come from your place out of the north parts,
you and many peoples with you, all of them riding on horses, a great company
and a mighty army.
16 (Eze 38:23; 36:23) And you shall come up against My people of Israel
as a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the latter days
that I will bring you against My land so that the nations
may know Me when I shall be sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.
Ezekiel 38
[1] And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
[2] Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief
prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
[3] And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold I am against thee, O Gog, the
chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
[4] And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring
thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed
with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields,
all of them handling swords:
[5] Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and
helmet:
[6] Gomer, and all his bands; the house of Togarmah of the north quarters,
and all his bands: and many people with thee.
[7] Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company
that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
[8] After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt
come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out
of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always
waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell
safely all of them.
[9] Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to
cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
[10] Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same
time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
[11] And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I
will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling
without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
[12] To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the
desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are
gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell
in the midst of the land.
[13] Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young
lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou
gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take
away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?
[14] Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord
GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not
know it?
[15] And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and
many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and
a mighty army:
[16] And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover
the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my
land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O
Gog, before their eyes.
Judgment on Gog
17 (Isa 34:1-6; 63:1-6) Thus says the Lord God: Are you he of whom
I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel,
who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring
you against them?
18 And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog comes against
the land of Israel, says the Lord God, that My fury shall come up in My anger.
19 (Hag 2:6-7; Eze 5:13) For in My jealousy and in the fire
of My wrath I have spoken: Surely in that day there shall be
a great earthquake in the land of Israel.
20 ( Hos 4:3; Na 1:4-6) The fish of the sea and the fowl of the heavens
and the beasts of the field and all creeping things that creep upon the earth
and all the men who are upon the face of the earth shall shake at My presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 (Jdg 7:22; 1Sa 14:20) I will call for a sword
against him on all My mountains,
says the Lord God. Every man's sword shall be against his brother.
22 (Ps 11:6; Isa 66:16) I will enter into judgment with him with pestilence
and with blood. And I will rain upon him and upon his troops
and upon the many peoples who are with him, an overflowing rain and hailstones,
fire and brimstone.
23 (Eze 36:23; 37:28) Thus I will magnify Myself, and sanctify Myself,
and I will be known in the eyes of many nations.
Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
[A nuclear punishment against Russia]
[17] Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time
by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many
years that I would bring thee against them?
[18] And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against
the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
[19] For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in
that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
[20] So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the
beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and
all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence,
and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall,
and every wall shall fall to the ground.
[21] And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains,
saith the Lord GOD: every man's sword shall be against his brother.
[22] And I will plead against him with pestilence and with blood; and I
will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with
him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.
[23] Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in
the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.
Ezekiel 39
The Destruction of Gog's Armies
1 (Eze 38:2-3) Moreover you, son of man, prophesy against Gog and say:
Thus says the Lord God: I am against you, O Gog,
prince of Rosh, Meshek, and Tubal.
2 (Eze 38:15) And I will turn you back, drive you on, and take you up
the north parts and bring you against the mountains of Israel.
3 (Ps 76:3; Hos 1:5) And I will strike your bow out of your left hand
and will cause your arrows to fall out of your right hand.
4 (Eze 33:27; 39:17-20) You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel,
you and all your troops and the peoples who are with you.
I will give you to the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts
of the field to be devoured.
5 You shall fall upon the open field. For I have spoken, says the Lord God.
6 (Eze 30:8; Jer 25:22) I will send a fire on Magog and among those who dwell
safely in the coastlands. Then they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 (Eze 38:16; 38:23) So I will make My holy name known in the midst
of My people Israel. And I will not let them pollute My holy name anymore.
And the nations shall know that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.
8 (Eze 38:17) It is coming and it shall be done, says the Lord God.
This is the day of which I have spoken.
9 (Ps 46:9; Jos 11:6) Those who dwell in the cities of Israel shall go
and make fires with the weapons and burn them, both the shields
and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the war clubs
and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire for seven years.
[ a long burn]
10 (Isa 33:1; 14:2) They shall take no wood out of the field,
or cut down any out of the forests, for they shall make fires
with the weapons. And they shall despoil those who despoiled them,
and plunder those who plundered them, says the Lord God.
Ezekiel 39
[1] Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith
the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech
and Tubal:
[2] And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee, and
will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon
the mountains of Israel:
[3] And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine
arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
[4] Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou, and all thy bands,
and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds
of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
[5] Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord
GOD.
[6] And I will send a fire on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in
the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
[7] So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and
I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall
know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
[8] Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day
whereof I have spoken.
[9] And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall
set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the
bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn
them with fire seven years:
[10] So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any
out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they
shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith
the Lord GOD.
The Burial of Gog
11 It shall come to pass in that day that I will give to Gog a place
of graves there in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east
of the sea, and it shall stop the passengers. And there they shall bury Gog
and all his multitude, and they shall call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.
12 (Dt 21:23; Eze 39:14) For seven months the house of Israel shall be burying
them so that they may cleanse the land.
[If the elimination of the army is nuclear, it will a
big mess to clean up]
13 (Eze 28:22; Jer 33:9) Indeed, all the people of the land shall bury them.
And it shall be their renown on the day that I shall be glorified,
says the Lord God.
14 They shall separate men who continually pass through the land
to bury the passengers, even those who remain upon the face of the earth,
to cleanse it.
After the end of seven months they shall search.
15 As the passengers pass through the land and anyone sees a man's bone,
then he shall set up a sign by it until the buriers have buried it
in the Valley of Hamon Gog.
16 Also the name of the city shall be Hamonah.
Thus they shall cleanse the land.
17 (Zep 1:7; Jer 12:9; Eze 39:4) As for you, son of man, thus says the Lord
God: Speak to every kind of fowl and to every beast of the field:
Assemble and come. Gather on every side to My sacrifice that I sacrifice
for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that you may
eat flesh and drink blood.
18 (Ps 22:12; Jer 51:40) You shall eat the flesh of the mighty
and drink the blood of the officials of the earth as though of rams,
of lambs, and of goats, of bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 You shall eat fat until you are full and drink blood until you are drunk
from My sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 (Rev 19:18; Ps 76:5-6) Thus you shall be filled at My table with horses
and chariots, with mighty men, and with all the men of war, says the Lord God.
21 (Ex 9:16; Isa 37:20) I will set My glory among the nations,
and all the nations shall see My judgment that I have executed,
and My hand that I have laid upon them.
22 (Jer 24:7; Eze 39:28) So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord
their God from that day and forward.
23 (Isa 1:15; 59:2) The nations shall know that the house of Israel
went into captivity for their iniquity because they trespassed against Me,
and I hid My face from them. And I gave them into the hand of their enemies,
and all of them fell by the sword.
24 (Jer 2:17; 2:19) According to their uncleanness and according
to their transgressions, I have done to them and hid My face from them.
[11] And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a
place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of
the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they
bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of
Hamon-gog.
[12] And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that
they may cleanse the land.
[13] Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to
them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
[14] And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through
the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the
earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
[15] And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man's
bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in
the valley of Hamon-gog.
[16] And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse
the land.
[17] And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every
feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and
come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice
for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may
eat flesh, and drink blood.
[18] Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the
princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of
them fatlings of Bashan.
[19] And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be
drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
[20] Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with
mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
[21] And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall
see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
[22] So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from
that day and forward.
[23] And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity
for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my
face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they
all by the sword.
[24] According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions
have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
The Restoration of Israel
25 (Isa 27:12-13; Eze 34:13) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy
on the whole house of Israel and will be jealous for My holy name.
26 (1Ki 4:25; Mic 4:4) They shall forget their shame and all their trespasses
by which they have trespassed against Me when they lived safely in their land
and no one made them afraid.
27 (Eze 36:23-24; 38:16) When I have brought them back from the peoples
and gathered them out of the lands of their enemies, then I shall be
sanctified in them in the sight of many nations.
28 (Eze 39:22) Then they shall know that I am the Lord their God
who caused them to be led into captivity among the nations,
and then gathered them again to their own land and have left none of them
there anymore.
29 (Joel 2:28; Isa 32:15) Nor will I hide My face from them anymore.
For I will have poured out My Spirit on the house of Israel,
says the Lord God.
[25] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity
of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous
for my holy name;
[26] After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses
whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their
land, and none made them afraid.
[27] When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out
of their enemies' lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many
nations;
[28] Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which cause them to
be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto
their
own land, and have left none of them any more there.
[29] Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out
my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.
2) Our Daily Bread for 7 September 2025 Titled
Dependence on God
Mark 10:13-16
Little Children Blessed
Mt 19:13-18; Lk 18:15-17
13 (Mt 19:13-15; Mk 10:48) They brought young children to Him,
that He might touch them. But the disciples rebuked those who brought them.
14 But when Jesus saw it, He was very displeased and said to them,
"Allow the little children to come to Me, and do not forbid them,
for of such is the kingdom of God.
15 (Mt 18:3; Lk 18:17) Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive
the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it."
16 (Mk 9:36) And He took them up in His arms, put His hands on them,
and blessed them.
[13] Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put
his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them.
[14] But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come
unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
[15] And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence.
[16] And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing
shall I do, that I may have eternal life?
"Oh, you look so serious!" I said to my ten-week-old granddaughter Leilani.
She was studying my face with a knitted brow as I talked to her. "I'd be
serious too," I continued, "looking at this world. But you know what?
Mama loves you, Daddy loves you, and Baba and Papa [our nicknames
as grandparents] love you too. But best of all, Jesus loves you!
And that means everything!"
Then it happened. Like a cloud letting the sun through, the furrow left her
brow and her little face lit up with a smile that melted my heart. Like most
grandparents, I'd like to believe she understood me, though that may be
a stretch. But perhaps she caught some of the joy behind my words. The simple,
innocent joy that shone on her face brought to mind Jesus' words that we must
"receive the kingdom of God like a little child" (Mark 10:15).
Jesus said those words as "people were bringing little children" to Him so
He might "place his hands on them" and bless them (vv. 13, 16).
But "the disciples rebuked them," thinking Jesus too busy or important.
That troubled Him (vv. 14-15).
Children are naturally humble and dependent. To receive God's kindness
to us in Christ, we too must turn from pride and admit our need for Him
in everything. As we do, He exchanges this world's hopelessness with
the promise of life with God forever. And that should make us smile.
Reflect & Pray
In what ways do you need God?
How can you declare your dependence on Him today?
Abba Father, please help me to humbly live
in Your kindness today and also share it with others.
Learn more about having a personal relationship with God.

Week 8 Guided by Grace Day 1 A circle of Light
John 8:12
12 (Jn 12:35; Job 33:28; Isa 49:6)Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying,
"I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me
shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life."
12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness,
but shall have the light of life.
When Judy Garland stepped onstage, she filled the spotlight. Nothing was
illuminated but her face, and as she sang, her listeners had a sense of being
transported beyond themselves into the meaning of her song. The focus of
reality, at that moment, was "Judy", and everything else faded into the dim
recesses of the shadowed room. The spotlight brought her into sharp focus
as the center of attention, and all around her was darkness.
When the scriptures speaks of Jesus as "the light," the image is not
of thousands of blazing bulbs lighting up a football field for a night game.
Rather, he is like a hand-help lamp that throws a circle of light in the
immediate vicinity. such a lamp lights the path that a traveler will walk,
but lights it only one step at a time.
Jesus is the center of that circle of light. As we follow him, we share the
light, but he is always at center. Jesus Christ is the focal point,
and everything else fades into dim gray by comparison.
If we are to keep our lives illuminated, to have his light falling upon the
road we walk, we must stay close to him. Jesus does not hand the lamp
to us and suggest that we go the way he wants; he , the Light, leads,
and if we want to stay in the light, we follow.
Application
a) Have I ever tried to go my own way, apart from the Light?
What was the result?
b) How can this verse help me remember the importance of staying close
to Jesus?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Deut 30:19-20
19 (Dt 4:26; 30:1) I call heaven and earth to witnesses against you this day,
that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse.
Therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live;
20 (Dt 10:20; Ps 27:1) that you may love the Lord your God,
that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him,
for He is your life and the length of your days;
and that you may dwell in the land that the Lord
swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.
19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing:
therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
20 that thou mayest love the LORD thy God,
and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him:
for he is thy life, and the length of thy days:
that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD
sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2022 edition?)
Nova Scotia
Total population 942700
Muslim population (est.) 14629
With 6 of the Nova Scotia's 10 universities located in Halifax, there is
a high concentration of Muslin international students in the area,
a harvest field in itself.
Pray for Nova Scotia and her Muslim populations
- in and around Halifax and other cities
- on university campuses
- for new workers among Muslims
- for pastors and churches to be bold in vision, passion and outreach
to Muslims in their areas.
- for Muslims who are searching for a better way to find a Christian friend
to share Jesus with and disciple them
- for Muslim-background believers to be both wise and bold in sharing their
new faith in Jesus with other Muslims
Halifax is the centre of Muslim activity for the Province of Nova Scotia
with at least 10 Islamic centres (mosques) and musallas
(prayer locations, especially for Friday prayer). And there are other mosques
in Chebucto, Kearney Lake, Dartmouth, Bedford and Truro.
Though the original community of Muslims was primarily composed of
newcomers from Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and India, continued immigration
has further diversified this community. Anf it is said thay Arabic
is the second most spoken language in Halifax.
while conservative estimates place the number of Muslims at almost 15000
in 2014, the Imama of a primary Halifax mosque estimates their population
somewhere between 25000 to 30000.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 12 They were all amazed and perplexed, saying to each other,
"What does this mean?"
13 (1Co 14:23) Others mocking said, "These men are full of new wine."
Peter's Speech at Pentecost
14 (Ac 1:26) But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice
and said to them, "Men of Judea and all you who dwell in Jerusalem,
let this be known to you, and listen to my words.
15 For these are not drunk, as you suppose,
since it is the third hour of the day.
16 But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17 (Isa 44:3; Ac 10:45) 'In the last days it shall be,' says God,
'that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.'
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -

- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

Romans 12:4-8
4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function,
5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another.
6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that
is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith;
7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching;
8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with
generosity; he who rules, with diligence;
he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.
4 For as we have many members in one body,
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and every one members one of another.
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that
is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according
to the proportion of faith;
7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth,
on teaching;
8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let
him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.
Col 3:17
17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed,
do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
