7. 2 Peter 1:19-21
19 Because of that experience, we have even greater confidence in the message
proclaimed by the prophets. You must pay close attention to what they wrote,
for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and
Christ the Morning Star shines[g] in your hearts.
20 Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the
prophet’s own understanding,[h]
21 or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit,
and they spoke from God.

8. Isaiah 46:10
10 Only I can tell you the future before it even happens. Everything I plan will come to
pass, for I do whatever I wish.
Isaiah 43:5-8
5 “Do not be afraid, for I am with you. I will gather you and your children from east and
west.
6 I will say to the north and south, ‘Bring my sons and daughters back to Israel from the
distant corners of the earth.
7 Bring all who claim me as their God, for I have made them for my glory. It was I who
created them.’”
8 Bring out the people who have eyes but are blind, who have ears but are deaf.

Zechariah 14:9
And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day there will be one Lord—his
name alone will be worshiped.

For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders.
And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of
Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and
justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate
commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen!

13. Daniel 7:13-14
13 As my vision continued that night, I saw someone like a son of man coming with the
clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence.
14 He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so
that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is
eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed.

from slavery and chains,

destroyed. Yes, your insolence is ended.
5 For the Lord has crushed your wicked power and broken your evil rule.
6 You struck the people with endless blows of rage and held the nations in your
angry grip with unrelenting tyranny.
7 But finally the earth is at rest and quiet. Now it can sing again!

15. b. Jerusalem becomes the Capital of the World
Zechariah 14:10
All the land from Geba, north of Judah, to Rimmon, south of Jerusalem, will become one vast
plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up in its original place and will be inhabited all the way from
the Benjamin Gate over to the site of the old gate, then to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower
of Hananel to the king’s winepresses.
c. All the Redeemed of all Ages shall Reign with Christ
Matthew 19:28
Jesus replied, “I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his
glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the
twelve tribes of Israel.

the baby goat. The calf and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child
will lead them all.
7 The cow will graze near the bear. The cub and the calf will lie down together. The
lion will eat hay like a cow.
8 The baby will play safely near the hole of a cobra. Yes, a little child will put its hand
in a nest of deadly snakes without harm.
9 Nothing will hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain, for as the waters fill the sea,
so the earth will be filled with people who know the Lord.

17. b. Herbivores
Genesis 1:30
And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the
sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.”
And that is what happened.

him forever and ever! Amen.
