Matthew 21:33-43

Listen to another illustration. A master of a house made a vineyard, and put a wall around it. He made a wine press and built a tower. Then he rented it to workers and traveled to another country. When the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit. The workmen attacked his servants, striking one with a stone and killing the other.read more.
He sent other servants more in number than the first. They did the same to them. Finally he sent his son to them, saying, 'Certainly they will respect my son.' When the workmen saw the son, they said, 'Let us put him to death and take his heritage, for someday he will own this property.' They took him out of the vineyard and killed him. When the lord of the vineyard returns, what will he do to the workmen? They all said: He will put those cruel men to death. Then he will find other workmen who are worthy and who will give him fruit when it is ready. Jesus said to them: Have you read the Scriptures, 'The stone the builders rejected has been made the chief cornerstone of the building. This was Jehovah's doing, and it is wonderful in our eyes.' (Isaiah 28:16) For this reason I tell you, The kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to a nation producing fruit.

Daniel 9:24-27

Seventy weeks (seventy sets of seven time periods) are decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish transgression and to make an end of sin, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy. Know and discern, that from the utterance of the commandment to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem until the Anointed One (Messiah), the Leader: there shall be seven weeks, also sixty-two weeks. It shall be built again with a public square and moat, even in terrible times. And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one will be cut off (destroyed) (killed) and shall have nothing. The people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end of it shall be by the flood of war and desolations.read more.
He will make a firm covenant with many for one week (time period of seven). In the middle of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the offerings to cease. The one that makes desolate will come upon the wing of abominations. At the end that which is decreed will be poured out upon the one lying desolate.

Acts 13:32-48

We tell you good news. It is God's promise to the fathers. God has fulfilled this promise to their children by resurrecting Jesus. Just as it is written in the second psalm: You are my Son, today I have become your father. (Psalms 2:7) He raised him up from the dead, never to decay. It is stated in these words: I will give you the sure blessings promised David. (Isaiah 55:3)read more.
He said in another psalm: You will not allow your Holy One to see decay. (Ps 16:10) After David served his own generation by doing the will of God he died and was buried with his fathers. His body decayed. But he (Jesus), whom God raised again, saw no decay. You should know, men and brothers that it is through this man Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him all who believe are justified from all things. You could not be justified through the Law of Moses. Beware that what the prophets said does not happen to you. Look among the nations, watch, and be amazed. Though you are told you will not believe the work I do today. (Habakkuk 1:5) When the Jews left the synagogue the people asked for this message to be preached to them the next Sabbath. When the congregation dismissed, many followed Paul and Barnabas. They urged them to continue in the grace of God. Nearly the entire city gathered the next Sabbath day to hear the word of God. When the Jews saw the crowds they were filled with envy. They spoke against those things Paul spoke. They contradicted and blasphemed him. Paul and Barnabas became very bold, and said: It was necessary that the Word of God should first be spoken to you. But seeing you reject it you judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life! Therefore we turn to the people of the nations. Jehovah commanded us with these words: I appoint you as a light to the nations. My salvation will come to the ends of the earth. (Isaiah 49:6) And when the people of the nations heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God. As many as were receptive to eternal life believed.

Romans 10:1-21

Brothers, my hearts desire and my prayer to God for Israel is for their salvation. I testify that they have zeal for God, but not according to [precise and correct] knowledge. They are ignorant of God's righteousness. They seek to establish their own righteousness and have not submitted to the righteousness of God.read more.
Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who exerts active faith. Moses writes down the righteousness that is of the law. The man who has practiced those things shall live by them. But the righteousness of faith speaks this way: Do not say in your heart: 'who will ascend to heaven? That is, to bring Christ down; or 'who will descend into the abyss? That is, to bring up Christ from among the dead.' But what does it say? The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. It is the word of faith, which we preach. (Deuteronomy 30:8-20) If you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and have active faith in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes for righteousness. And with the mouth one declares for salvation. The scripture says: No one believing on him shall be disappointed. (Isaiah 28:16) For there is no difference between Jew and Greek. The same Lord (God) of all is abounding in riches for all who call on him. Everyone who calls on the name of Jehovah will be saved. (Joel 2:32) How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without someone to preach? How will they preach unless they have been sent? Just as it is written: How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace and who bring good tidings of good things! For they proclaim salvation and say to Zion: Your God reigns as king! (Hebrew: Elohiym' malak': God rules!) (Isaiah 52:7) But they have not all obeyed the good news. For Isaiah says: Jehovah, who has believed our message? (Isaiah 53:1) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word about Christ. I say: Have they not heard? Yes in fact their sound went into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited earth. (Psalm 19:4) I say Israel did not know. First Moses said: I will provoke you people to rivalry through that which is not a nation, and I will anger you with a foolish nation. (Deuteronomy 32:21) Isaiah is very bold, and says: Those who did not seek me found me. I was made manifest to those who did not ask for me. But to Israel he says: All day long I have stretched out my hands to a people who are disobedient and self-willed (obstinate). (Isaiah 65:1, 2)

Luke 16:26

There is a deep pit lying between us, so that those who want to cross over from here to you cannot do so. And no one can cross over to us from where you are.

Revelation 20:11-15

I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it. From before him the earth and heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God. The books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged according to the things written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead in it. Death and the grave delivered up the dead in them. Every man was judged according to his works.read more.
Death and the grave were hurled into the lake of fire. This is the second death. Whoever was not found written in the book of life was hurled (thrust) (thrown) into the lake of fire.
