The Heart of God for IsraelЗразок

THE GLORY OF THE LORD WILL RISE UPON JERUSALEM

God will make His glory rise upon Jerusalem. He will be her light and make her shine over the nations. The Lord will arise upon Jerusalem, and His glory will be visible upon her. There will be a sharp contrast between Jerusalem and the peoples of the earth because, at that time, they will live in darkness. The nations will witness Jerusalem reflecting the brightness of God. They will not see the glory of the Lord directly; they will see it indirectly like the light of the sun reflected on the moon at night. As for Jerusalem, she will see God and His glory.

On the earth, Jerusalem will rise as a light, and kings will be drawn to her brightness. The sons and daughters of Israel will gather in Jerusalem. Those living afar will come back home. God will orchestrate a joyful reunion. Jerusalem will rejoice like a mother who gathers her children after a long absence. Her heart will swell and burst with joy. God will channel the wealth of the nations to Jerusalem—gold, incense, camels, sheep, and free labor—because the people will come and serve her.
