I am sought

Now it will come about that

In the last days

The mountain of the house of the Lord
Will be established as the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.

Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a

signal for the peoples;

And His resting place will be glorious.

“Behold, you will call a nation you do not know,
And a nation which knows you not will run to you,
Because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel;
For He has glorified you.”

All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord,
And all the families of the nations will worship before You.

Unto

But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator, O Jacob,
And He who formed you, O Israel,
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have called you by name; you are Mine!

We have become like those over whom You have never ruled,
Like those who were not called by Your name.

Yet the number of the sons of Israel

Will be like the sand of the sea,
Which cannot be measured or numbered;
And in the place
Where it is said to them,
“You are not My people,”
It will be said to them,
“You are the sons of the living God.”

“Many nations will join themselves to the Lord in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.

So many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the Lord.’

“They who had no news of Him shall see,
And they who have not heard shall understand.”
