THE CHRISTIAN SCRIPTURES Old Testament Prophecy - Angelfire

19 you will say to them, `Thus says the Lord: "Behold, I will take the tribe of Joseph,
which is through the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel which belong to him, and
I will give them to the tribe of Judah, and they will be one rod in the hand of Judah."´
20 The rods on which you wrote will be in your hand in their sight. 21 You will say to
them, `Thus says the Lord, the Lord: "Behold, I am taking all the house of Israel out of
the midst of the nations where they entered. I will gather them from all who are around
them, and I will bring them into the land of Israel. 22 I will give them as a nation in my
land and among the mountains of Israel. They will have one ruler, and they will no
longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any longer into two kingdoms, 23 so that
they may no longer be defiled by their idols. A I will deliver them from all their lawless
acts by which they sinned, and I will cleanse them. They will be a people for me, and I
the Lord will be a God for them. 24 My slave David will be a ruler in their midst; there will
be one shepherd of everyone, for they will walk in my ordinances, preserve my
judgments, and perform them. 25 They will reside on their land which I have given to my
slave Jacob, where their fathers resided; they themselves will reside on it, B and David
my slave will be their ruler forever. 26 I will make for them a testament of peace; it will
be an eternal testament with them. I will put my holy places in their midst forever. 27 My
tent will be among them; I will be a God for them, and they will be my people. 28 The
nations will know that I am the Lord who makes them holy when my holy places are in
their midst forever."´"

against Gog and the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and
prophesy against him. 3 Say to him, `Thus says the Lord, the Lord: "Behold, I am

which became entirely deserted. He has come out of the nations, and they will all reside
in peace. 9 You will go up like rain and will arrive like a cloud to cover the land, and

your heart, and you will devise evil plans. 11 You will say, `I will go up against the
