Gentiles/heathen » The lord judging the heathen
The Day of Jehovah draws near upon all the nations. It will be done to you just as you have done. Your dealings will return upon you head! Just as you have drunk upon my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink! Continually: Yes they will drink, and swallow down, and will be as though they had never existed.
There will be no more prickling brier or a painful thorn for the house of Israel from any round about them who scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah says: When I gather the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, I will make known my holiness in them in the sight of the nations. Then they will live in their land that I gave to my servant Jacob. They will live in it securely. They will build houses, plant vineyards and live securely when I execute judgments upon all who scorn them round about them. Then they will know that I am Jehovah their God!'
Jehovah is at your right hand. He will crush kings in the day of his anger. He will pass judgment on the nations and fill them with dead bodies. Throughout the earth he will execute their rulers. He will drink from the brook along the road. He will hold his head high.
Son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of Jehovah. 'The Lord Jehovah says: Because the enemy has spoken against you, aha! And the everlasting heights have become our possession. Therefore prophesy and say: 'The Lord Jehovah says: For good reason they have made you desolate and crushed you from every side. That way you would become a possession of the rest of the nations and you have become a subject of conversation for the people. read more.
'Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord Jehovah. The Lord Jehovah says to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the forsaken cities that have become a prey and derision to the rest of the nations that are round about, 'The Lord Jehovah says: 'Surely in the fire of my jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who appropriated my land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn, to drive it out for a prey.'' Prophesy about Israel and tell the mountains and hills and the ravines and valleys: 'This is what the Lord Jehovah says: I am speaking in my anger and fury because you have been insulted by the nations. This is what the Lord Jehovah says: 'I raise my hand and swear that the nations that surround you will be insulted.

Proclaim this among the nations! Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears! Let the weak say, I am strong. Hurry and come all you nations round about. Gather yourselves there and cause your mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah. read more.
Let the nations be aroused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah's Judgment)! I will sit there to judge all the nations round about. Thrust in the sickle for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! The day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars diminish their shining. Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

The ax is ready to cut down the trees at the roots. Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire. I baptize you with water because of your repentance. He that comes after me is mightier than I. He will baptize you with Holy Spirit and fire. I am not even good enough to carry his sandals. His winnowing shovel is in his hand. He will clean his threshing floor and gather his wheat into a barn. He will then burn the husks in a fire that cannot be put out.
He told another illustration, saying: The kingdom of heaven is like a man that sowed good seed in his field. While he slept, his enemy came and sowed weeds with the wheat, and went away. When the blade sprouted and brought forth fruit, it looked like wheat. read more.
The servants of the householder said to him: 'Sir, did you sow good seed in your field? Why does it have weeds mixed in with the good wheat?' He replied: 'An enemy did this.' The servants offered to remove the weeds. He said: 'No, you might uproot the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest. In the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers: Gather weeds first, and bind them in bundles to burn them. Then gather the wheat into my barn.' In another illustration Jesus said: The kingdom of heaven is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man sowed in his field. Mustard seed is the smallest of all seeds. Yet when it grows it becomes as large as a tree. In fact the birds of heaven lodge in the branches. He offered another illustration: The kingdom of heaven is similar to leaven. A woman hid leaven in three measures of meal until it was all leavened. Jesus spoke with illustrations to the crowds. He did not speak anything without using illustrations. That which was spoken through the prophet was fulfilled, saying: I will open my mouth in illustrations. I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world. Then he left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples gathered near him. They said: Explain to us the illustration of the weeds in the field. Jesus said: He that sows the good seed is the Son of man. The field is the world (the society of mankind). The good seed are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one. The enemy that sowed them is the Devil. The harvest is the end of the age. The reapers are angels. The weeds are gathered up and burned (destroyed) with fire. It will be this way at the end of the age. The Son of man will send his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all who stumble others and commit lawlessness. The angels will cast them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. The righteous will shine as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that has ears let him hear.

Many people were expecting the Messiah. They reasoned in their hearts concerning John: Perhaps he was the Messiah. John answered, saying to them: I baptize you with water. He is coming who is mightier than I. I am not worthy to untie his shoelaces. He will baptize you in Holy Spirit and in fire. His winnowing fork is in his hand ready to thoroughly cleanse his threshing-floor. He will gather the wheat into his barn. He will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
Another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud: Thrust in your sickle, and reap! The time has come for you to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe. He who sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped. Another angel came out of the temple in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle. read more.
And yet another angel came out from the altar. He had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle. He said: Thrust in your sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe. The angel thrust his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the anger of God. The winepress was trampled outside the city. Blood came out of the winepress as high up as the horse bridles for a distance of one hundred and eighty miles.

Heaven/the heavens » The heavens being shaken
Immediately after the tribulation of those days, the sun will be darkened. The moon will not give light. The stars will fall from heaven. The powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Behold! The Day of Jehovah is coming! It will be cruel, with fury and burning anger. It will make the land desolation and exterminate the sinners from it. The stars of heaven and their constellations will not shine forth their light. The sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shine its light. I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will also end the arrogance of the proud. I will demean (disgrace) the arrogance of tyranny. read more.
I will make mortal man harder to find than pure gold and mankind than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble. The earth will shake from its place at the fury of Jehovah of Hosts in the day of his burning anger.

Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
In those days after that tribulation, the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give her light. The stars will fall from heaven and the powers that are in the heavens will be shaken.
There will be signs in sun and moon and stars. The earth will experience distress of nations in disarray for the roaring of the sea and the waves. Men will faint out of fear for expectation of the things coming on the world. The powers of the heavens shall be shaken.
You have come to Mount Zion, and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads (thousands of thousands) of angels, to the general assembly and congregation of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just (righteous) (holy) men made perfect (mature) (having all needed qualities). You have come to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks in a better way than the blood of Abel. read more.
Be careful, then, and do not refuse to hear him who speaks. Those who refused to hear the one who gave the divine message on earth did not escape. How much less shall we escape then, if we turn away from the one who speaks from heaven! His voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised: I will once more shake not only the earth but also heaven. The words once more plainly show that the created things will be shaken and removed, so that the things that cannot be shaken will remain.

Hope » Eternal » In God
Why am I in despair? Why have I become disturbed within me? Wait for God for I shall yet praise him, the help of my countenance and my God.
Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, whose refuge and security (confidence and hope) is Jehovah.

Remember, the eye of Jehovah is on those who respect him, on those who hope for his loving-kindness.
Jehovah, for what do I wait? My hope is in you.
Israel/jews » Israel being attacked
The word of Jehovah came to me: Son of man, set your face toward Gog of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him. The Lord Jehovah said: I am against you, O Gog, prince of Rosh, Meshech and Tubal. read more.
I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws. I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords. I will also bring out Persia, Ethiopia and Put with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer with all its troops; Beth-togarmah from the remote parts of the north with all its troops and many peoples with you. Be prepared, and prepare yourself, you and all your companies that are assembled about you, and be a guard for them. After many days you will be summoned. In the latter years you will come into the land that is restored from the sword, whose inhabitants have been gathered from many nations to the mountains of Israel that had been a continual waste. Its people were brought out from the nations, and all of them are living securely. You will go up like a storm. You will be like a cloud covering the land. You your troops will have many peoples with you.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'It will come about on that day, that thoughts will come into your mind and you will devise an evil plan. You will say: I will go up against the land of unwalled villages. I will go against those who are securely at rest. They live without walls and have no bars or gates. I will go to capture spoil and to seize plunder, to turn your hand against the waste places which are now inhabited, and against the people who are gathered from the nations, who have acquired cattle and goods, who live at the center of the world. Sheba and Dedan and the merchants of Tarshish with all its villages will say to you: Have you come to capture spoil? Have you assembled your company to seize plunder, to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to capture great spoil?' Prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog: 'The Lord Jehovah says: On that day when my people Israel are living securely, will you not know it? You will come from your place out of the remote parts of the north, you and many nations with you, all of them riding on horses, a great assembly and a mighty army. You will come up against my people Israel like a cloud to cover the land. It shall come about in the last days that I will bring you against my land, so that the nations may know me when I am sanctified through you before their eyes, O Gog.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'Are you the one of whom I spoke in former days through my servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days for many years that I would bring you against them? It will come about on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel,' declares the Lord Jehovah, 'that my fury will mount up in my anger. In my zeal and in my blazing wrath I proclaim that on that day there will surely be a great earthquake in the land of Israel. The fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, the beasts of the field, all the creeping things that creep on the earth, and all the people who are on the face of the earth will shake at my presence! The mountains will be thrown down! The steep pathways will collapse and every wall will fall to the ground.' I will call for a sword against Gog on all my mountains,' declares the Lord Jehovah. 'Every man's sword will be against his brother. With pestilence and with blood I will enter into judgment on him. I will rain on him and on his troops, and on the many peoples who are with him, a torrential rain, with hailstones, fire and brimstone. I will magnify myself, sanctify myself, and make myself known in the sight of many nations! Then they will know that I am Jehovah.' (Matthew 6:9)

The Lord Jehovah says: 'Son of man, denounce Gog, the chief ruler of the nations of Meshech and Tubal. Tell him that I am his enemy. I will turn him in a new direction and lead him out of the far north until he comes to the mountains of Israel. I will knock his bow out of his left hand and his arrows out of his right hand. read more.
Gog and his army and his allies will fall dead on the mountains of Israel. I will let their bodies be food for all the birds and wild animals.' They will fall dead in the open field. I,' the Lord Jehovah, 'have spoken. I will start a fire in the land of Magog and along all the seacoasts where people live undisturbed. Everyone will know that I am Jehovah! I will make sure that my people Israel know my holy name. I will not let my name be disgraced any more. Then the nations will know that I, Jehovah, am the holy God of Israel.' The Lord Jehovah says: 'The day I spoke about is certain to come. The people who live in the cities of Israel will go out and collect the abandoned weapons for firewood. They will build fires with the shields, bows, arrows, spears, and clubs, and have enough to last for seven years. They will not have to gather firewood in the fields or cut down trees in the forest, because they will have the abandoned weapons to burn. They will loot and plunder those who looted and plundered them. The Lord Jehovah has spoken.' On that day I will give Gog a burial ground there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea. It will block off those who would pass by. So they will bury Gog there with his entire horde, and they will call it the valley of Hamon-gog (Multitude of God). For seven months the house of Israel will be burying them in order to cleanse the land. Even all the people of the land will bury them. It will be to their renown on the day that I glorify myself,' proclaims the Lord Jehovah. They will set apart men who will constantly pass through the land, burying those who were passing through, even those left on the surface of the ground, in order to cleanse it. At the end of seven months they will make a search. As those who pass through the land pass through and anyone sees a man's bone, then he will set up a marker by it until the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamon-gog. Even the name of the city will be Hamonah. In this way they will cleanse the land.' As for you, son of man, the Lord Jehovah says: 'Speak to every kind of bird and to every beast of the field: Assemble and come, gather from every side to my sacrifice that I am going to sacrifice for you. It is a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood. You will eat the flesh of mighty men and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, as though they were rams, lambs, goats and bulls, all of them fatlings of Bashan.' You will eat fat until you are glutted, and drink blood until you are drunk; from my sacrifice I have sacrificed for you.' You will be glutted at my table with horses and charioteers, with mighty men and all the men of war,' declares the Lord Jehovah. I will show my greatness among the nations. All the nations will see how I will turn my power against them to punish them. From that day on, the people of Israel will know that I am Jehovah their God. Then the nations will know that the people of Israel went into captivity because they did wrong and rebelled against me. I hid my face (withdrew my support) from them and handed them over to their enemies. They were killed in battle. I paid them back for their uncleanness and their sins. I hid my face from them.'

Behold! At that time I will bring back the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem. I will gather all nations! I will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will execute judgment upon them there for my people and for my heritage, Israel. They have scattered my people among the nations and they have divided up my land. They cast lots for my people, and traded a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. read more.
What are you to me, O Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you pay recompense (compensation) to me? If you pay recompense to me swiftly and speedily, will I return your recompense upon your own head? You have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my precious treasures into your temples. You sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks. You remove them far from their border. Behold, I will arouse them out of the place where you sold them and will return your recompense upon your head. I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah. And they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Jehovah has spoken it. Proclaim this among the nations! Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears! Let the weak say, I am strong. Hurry and come all you nations round about. Gather yourselves there and cause your mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah's Judgment)! I will sit there to judge all the nations round about. Thrust in the sickle for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! The day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars diminish their shining. Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.

Behold, I will arouse them out of the place where you sold them and will return your recompense upon your head. I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the children of Judah. And they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a nation far off: for Jehovah has spoken it. Proclaim this among the nations! Prepare for war! Stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near let them come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears! Let the weak say, I am strong. Hurry and come all you nations round about. Gather yourselves there and cause your mighty ones to come down, O Jehovah. Let the nations be aroused and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat (Jehovah's Judgment)! I will sit there to judge all the nations round about. Thrust in the sickle for the harvest is ripe! Come and tread for the winepress is full and the vats overflow. Their wickedness is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! The day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars diminish their shining. Jehovah will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem. The heavens and the earth will shake: but Jehovah will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
The prophetic utterance of the word of Jehovah concerning Israel. Jehovah declared: Who stretches forth the heavens? Who lays the foundation of the earth? Who forms the spirit of man within him? I will make Jerusalem a cup that causes trembling to the people in the nations nearby. Judah will also be attacked when they attack Jerusalem. It will happen in that day! I will make Jerusalem a heavy weight for all the people. All who lift it will be severely injured. All the nations of the earth will gather against her. read more.
In that day, said Jehovah, I will strike every horse with terror and his rider with madness! I will watch the house of Judah. Every horse of the people will be struck with blindness. The people of Judah (including the leaders) will say in their hearts: The inhabitants of Jerusalem are my strength through Jehovah of Hosts their God. I will make the people of Judah like a pan of fire among wood and like a flaming torch among sheaves of grain. They will consume all the peoples on the right hand and on the left all around. The inhabitants of Jerusalem will again dwell in their own place, in Jerusalem. Jehovah will save the dwellings of Judah first. The glory of the house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem will not be magnified above Judah. In that day Jehovah will defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem. He that is feeble among them will be like David. For the house of David will be like God, like the angel of Jehovah before them. It will happen at that time. I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of kindness and of supplication. They will look to the one whom they pierced; and they will mourn for him, as one mourns for his only son. There will be a bitter lamentation for him, like one who grieves for his first-born.

Behold! A Day of Jehovah comes, when the spoil taken from you will be divided among you. I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem! The city will be defeated.

His feet will stand in that day upon the Mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east. The Mount of Olives will be split in half toward the east and toward the west.

For the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel. Yes you will flee the same as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah.

It will not be day and it will not be night, but there will light in the evening. It will happen! Living waters will go out from Jerusalem: half of them toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. It will be both in the summer and in the winter. Jehovah will be King over all the earth. Jehovah will be the only one and his name will be the only one in that day. All the land will be made like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem will be lifted up, and will dwell in her place, from Benjamin's gate to the place of the first gate, to the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's winepresses. People will live there and there will be no more curses. Jerusalem will dwell safely. The plague will be that Jehovah will strike all the peoples that have gone to war against Jerusalem! Their flesh will wither away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes will wither away in their sockets, and their tongue will wither away in their mouth. It will happen! A great tumult (trouble) (disturbance) from Jehovah will fall on them. Everyone of them will lay hold on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand will rise up against the hand of his neighbor (neighbor will fight against neighbor).

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates. Its water was dried up so that the way might be prepared for the kings from the east. I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his outer garment, that he does not walk naked and they see his shame. He gathered them together to a place called in the Hebrew tongue Har-Magedon. Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. A loud voice came out of the temple of heaven. It said: It is done! There were voices, and thunders, and lightnings. There was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. The great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. God remembered Babylon the Great. He gave her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his anger (wrath). Every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. There fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent (45 to 100 pounds). Men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, for the plague was exceeding great.
