Then those who feared the LORD spoke with each other,
and the LORD listened to what they said.
In his presence,
a scroll of remembrance was written
to record the names of those who feared him
and always thought about the honor of his name.
“They will be my people,”
says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.
On the day when I act in judgment,
they will be my own special treasure.
I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.
“I am the LORD,
and I do not change…
Now return to me,
and I will return to you,”
says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

On that day
life-giving waters will flow out from Jerusalem,
half toward the Dead Sea
and half toward the Mediterranean,
flowing continuously in both summer and winter.
And the LORD will be king over all the earth.
On that day
there will be one LORD—
his name alone will be worshiped.
“But one-third will be left in the land.
I will bring that group through the fire
and make them pure.
I will refine them like silver
and purify them like gold.
They will call on my name,
and I will answer them.
I will say,
‘These are my people,’
and they will say,
‘The LORD is our God.’”
Blessings of the One who wrote the future
On that day
his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
east of Jerusalem.
And the Mount of Olives will split apart,
making a wide valley running from east to west.
Half the mountain will move toward the north
and half toward the south.
…Then the LORD my God will come,
and all his holy ones with him.
On that day
the sources of light will no longer shine,
yet there will be continuous day!
Only the LORD knows how this could happen.
There will be no normal day and night,
for at evening time it will still be light.
(Galveston, TX)
I pray that God,
the source of hope,
will fill you completely with joy and peace
because you trust in him.
Then you will overflow with confident hope
through the power of the Holy Spirit.
When Bartimaeus heard
that Jesus of Nazareth was nearby,
he began to shout,
“Jesus,
Son of David,
have mercy on me!”
“What do you want me to do for you?”
Jesus asked.
“My Rabbi,”
the blind man said,
“I want to see!”
And Jesus said to him,
“Go,
for your faith has healed you.”
Instantly the man could see…
(Arizona roadside)
Then,
after doing all those things,
I will pour out my Spirit upon all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy.
Your old men will dream dreams,
and your young men will see visions.
In those days I will pour out my Spirit
even on servants—
men and women alike.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart;
do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
But blessed are those who trust in the LORD
and have made the LORD their hope and confidence.
