2 Now it shall come
to pass in the
latter
days
that the
mountain of the
Lord’s house
shall be
established
on the
top of the mountains,
and shall be exalted
above the hills; and
all nations
shall flow
to it.
3 Many people shall
come and say,
“Come, let us go up
to the mountain of
the Lord, to the
house of Jacob; He
will teach us His
ways, and we shall
walk in His paths.”
For out of
Zion
shall
go forth the
law
, and
the word of the Lord
from
Jerusalem
.
44 And in the
days
of these kings
the
God of heaven shall
set up a
kingdom
which shall
never
be
destroyed
; and the
kingdom shall not
be left to other
people; it shall
break and consume
all these kingdoms,
and it shall
stand
forever
.

28 "And it shall come
to pass afterward
that I will
pour out
My
Spirit
on all flesh;
Your sons and your
daughters shall
prophesy
, your old
men shall dream
dreams, your young
men shall see visions.
32 And it shall come
to pass that
whoever
calls
on the name of
the
Lord
shall be
saved
. For in
Mount
Zion
and in
Jerusalem
there
shall be
deliverance
,
as the Lord has said,
among the remnant
whom the Lord calls.
2 And the Gentiles
shall see your
righteousness, and
all kings your glory.
You shall be called
by a
new name
,
which the mouth of
the Lord will name
31 Behold, the days
are coming, says the
Lord, when I will
make a
new
covenant
with the
house of Israel and
with the house of
Judah, 32 not
according to the
covenant that I
made with their
fathers in the day
that I took them by
the hand to lead
them out of the land
of Egypt, My
covenant which they
broke, though I was
a husband to them,
says the Lord.
3 For this is he who
was spoken of by the
prophet Isaiah,
saying: "The voice of
one crying in the
wilderness: 'Prepare
the way of the Lord;
Make His paths
straight.'
1 In those days
John the Baptist
came preaching in
the wilderness of
Judea, 2 and
saying, “
Repent
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven is
at hand!”
17 From that
time
Jesus
began
to preach and to
say, “
Repent
for
the
kingdom
of
heaven is
at
hand.”
Bar-Jonah, for flesh and
blood has not revealed
this to you, but My Father
who is in heaven. 18 And
I also say to 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 And I will
give you the
keys of the
kingdom of heaven
, and
whatever you bind on
earth will be bound in
heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven."
13 When Jesus came into
the region of Caesarea
Philippi, He asked His
disciples, saying, "Who do
men say that I, the Son of
Man, am?"14 So they said,
"Some say John the
Baptist, some Elijah, and
others Jeremiah or one of
the prophets."15 He said to
them, "But who do you say
that I am?"16 Simon Peter
answered and said, "You
are the Christ, the Son of
the living God.“ 17 Jesus
answered and said to him,
“Blessed are you, Simon
1 And He said to
them, “
Assuredly
, I
say to you that
there are some
standing here who
will
not taste death
till they
see
the
kingdom
of God
present with
power
.”

(Col. 1:13)
1 Now Saul was
consenting to his
death. At that time a
great persecution
arose against
the
church
which was at
Jerusalem; and they
were all scattered
throughout the
regions of Judea
and Samaria, except
the apostles
13 He has delivered
us from the power
of darkness and
conveyed us into
the
kingdom
of the Son
of His love 14 in
whom we have
redemption through
His blood, the
forgiveness of sins
23 So when they
had appointed
elders in every
church
, and prayed
with fasting, they
commended them
to the Lord in whom
they had believed.
28 Therefore
take
heed to yourselves
and to all the flock,
among which the
Holy Spirit has
made you overseers,
to shepherd the
church of God
which he purchased
with His own blood
3 nor as being lords
over those
entrusted to you,
but being examples
to the flock
2 Shepherd the
flock of God which
is
among you
,
serving as
overseers, not by
compulsion but
willingly, not for
dishonest gain but
eagerly;
spoke as a child, I
understood as a child, I
thought as a child; but
when I became a man,
I put away childish
things. 12 For now we
see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part, but
then I shall know just
as I also am known. 13
And now abide faith,
hope, love, these three;
but the greatest of
these is love.
8 Love never fails. But
whether there are
prophecies,
they will
fail
, whether there are
tongues,
they will
cease
; whether there is
knowledge,
it will
vanish away
. 9 For we
know in part and we
prophesy in part. 10
But when that which is
perfect has come, then
that which is in part
will be done away
. 11
When I was a child, I

Isaiah 2:2 2 Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord s house shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow to it. 3 Many people shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

Matthew 16:13 13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"14 So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 Jesus answered and said to him, Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to 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 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

1 Cor. 13:8 spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face.
