I shall see him

“I will pour out on the house of David and on the people of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace (unmerited favor) and supplication. And they will look at Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him as one who weeps bitterly over a firstborn.

Woe to them! For they have gone the [defiant] way of Cain, and for profit they have run headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of [mutinous] Korah.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes (nations) of the earth will mourn over Him [realizing their sin and guilt, and anticipating the coming wrath]. So it is to be. Amen.

A star

“Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”

Because of the tender mercy of our God,
With which the Sunrise (the Messiah) from on high will dawn and visit us,

So we have the prophetic word made more certain. You do well to pay [close] attention to it as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and light breaks through the gloom and the morning star arises in your hearts.

“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you and to give you assurance of these things for the churches. I am the Root (the Source, the Life) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and bright Morning Star.”

A sceptre

“The scepter [of royalty] shall not depart from Judah,
Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet,
Until Shiloh [the Messiah, the Peaceful One] comes,
And to Him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever;

The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of Your kingdom.

He also chose David His servant
And took him from the sheepfolds;

The Lord will send the scepter of Your strength from Zion, saying,
“Rule in the midst of Your enemies.”

There shall be no end to the increase of His government and of peace,
[He shall rule] on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From that time forward and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will accomplish this.

He will be great and eminent and will be called the Son of the Most High; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David;

But about the Son [the Father says to Him],

“Your throne, O God, is forever and ever,
And the

scepter of [absolute] righteousness is the scepter of

His kingdom.

Smite the corners of moab

Then Saul said, “Come here, all you who are leaders of the people, and let us find out how this sin [causing God’s silence] happened today.

All the children

Adam knew [Eve as] his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for [she said], “God has granted another child for me in place of Abel, because Cain killed him.”

Then the seventh angel sounded [his trumpet]; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,

“The kingdom (dominion, rule) of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”

General references

I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
And I did not turn back until they were consumed.

“I will also cut off and destroy the ruler from its midst
And slay all the princes with him,” says the Lord.
