Micah 5:2-6 NLT
2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,are only a small village among all the people of Judah.Yet a ruler of Israel,whose origins are in the distant past,will come from you on my behalf. 3 The people of Israel will be abandoned to their enemiesuntil the woman in labor gives birth.Then at last his fellow countrymenwill return from exile to their own land. 4 And he will stand to lead his flock with the Lord’s strength,in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.Then his people will live there undisturbed,for he will be highly honored around the world. 5 And he will be the source of peace.When the Assyrians invade our landand break through our defenses,we will appoint seven rulers to watch over us,eight princes to lead us. 6 They will rule Assyria with drawn swordsand enter the gates of the land of Nimrod.He will rescue us from the Assyrianswhen they pour over the borders to invade our land.

Revelation 19:1-10 NLT 1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven shouting,“Praise the Lord!Salvation and glory and power belong to our God. 2 His judgments are true and http://just.he has punished the great prostitutewho corrupted the earth with her http://immorality.he has avenged the murder of his servants.” 3 And again their voices rang out:“Praise the Lord!The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!” 4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried out, “Amen! Praise the Lord!” 5 And from the throne came a voice that said,“Praise our God,all his servants,all who fear him,from the least to the greatest.” 6 Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:“Praise the Lord!For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns. 7 Let us be glad and rejoice,and let us give honor to http://him.for the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb,and his bride has prepared herself. 8 She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy people. 9 And the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “These are true words that come from God.” 10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify about their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. For the essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.”

Zechariah 3:1-10 NLT 1 Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. 2 And the Lord said to Satan, “I, the Lord, reject your accusations, Satan. Yes, the Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.” 3 Jeshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood there before the angel. 4 So the angel said to the others standing there, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And turning to Jeshua he said, “See, I have taken away your sins, and now I am giving you these fine new clothes.” 5 Then I said, “They should also place a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean priestly turban on his head and dressed him in new clothes while the angel of the Lord stood by. 6 Then the angel of the Lord spoke very solemnly to Jeshua and said, 7 “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: If you follow my ways and carefully serve me, then you will be given authority over my Temple and its courtyards. I will let you walk among these others standing here. 8 “Listen to me, O Jeshua the high priest, and all you other priests. You are symbols of things to come. Soon I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. 9 Now look at the jewel I have set before Jeshua, a single stone with seven facets. I will engrave an inscription on it, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, and I will remove the sins of this land in a single day. 10 “And on that day, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, each of you will invite your neighbor to sit with you peacefully under your own grapevine and fig tree.”

Joel 2:12-19 NLT 12 That is why the Lord says,“Turn to me now, while there is http://time.give me your http://hearts.come with fasting, weeping, and mourning. 13 Don’t tear your clothing in your grief,but tear your hearts instead.”Return to the Lord your God,for he is merciful and compassionate,slow to get angry and filled with unfailing http://love.he is eager to relent and not punish. 14 Who knows? Perhaps he will give you a reprieve,sending you a blessing instead of this curse.Perhaps you will be able to offer grain and wineto the Lord your God as before. 15 Blow the ram’s horn in Jerusalem!Announce a time of fasting;call the people togetherfor a solemn meeting. 16 Gather all the people—the elders, the children, and even the http://babies.call the bridegroom from his quartersand the bride from her private room. 17 Let the priests, who minister in the Lord’s presence,stand and weep between the entry room to the Temple and the http://altar.let them pray, “Spare your people, Lord!Don’t let your special possession become an object of http://mockery.don’t let them become a joke for unbelieving foreigners who say,‘Has the God of Israel left them?’” 18 Then the Lord will pity his peopleand jealously guard the honor of his land. 19 The Lord will reply,“Look! I am sending you grain and new wine and olive oil,enough to satisfy your http://needs.you will no longer be an object of mockeryamong the surrounding nations.
