"Wait for Jehovah: Be strong, and let thy heart take courage; Yea, wait thou for Jehovah." Ps 27:14
The Way to His Father and God in pray. The Mediator to God is God's only begotten Son. The Truth His Father's Truth as The Word of God, The Logos is Jesus who was sent by His Father,The Life..The Life God gave to the world in His Lamb His Son Jesus. John 3:16-18. The Life Jesus was so willing to give in being a submissive Son who did His Father's Will and Will again.
"For evil-doers shall be cut off; But those that wait for Jehovah,they shall inherit the earth. For just a little while longer, and the wicked ones shall be no more: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. The righteous shall inherit the earth, And dwell therein forever. Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the earth; When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it." Ps 37:9-11,29
I have paid attention, and I kept listening. It was not right the way they kept speaking. There was not a man repenting over his badness, saying, ‘What have I done?’ Each one is going back into the popular course, like a horse that is dashing into the battle. and if that nation I warned repents of its evil, then I will relent and not inflict on it the disaster I had planned. and if it does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it. Perhaps everyone will listen and turn from his evil way, that I may relent concerning the calamity which I purpose to bring on them because of the evil of their doings. ’Now change your lives and start doing good and obey the Lord your God.
Then he will change his mind and not bring on you the disaster he has told you about. If YOU will without fail keep dwelling in this land, I will also build YOU up and I shall not tear [YOU] down, and I will plant YOU and I shall not uproot [YOU]; for I shall certainly feel regret over the calamity that I have caused to YOU. Do not be afraid because of the king of Babylon, of whom YOU are in fear.’ "‘Do not be afraid because of him,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘for I am with YOU, in order to save YOU and to deliver YOU out of his hand. Jer 8:6; 18:8,10; 26:3,13; 42:10,11
Therefore say unto the house of Israel, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: Repent, and turn yourselves from your idols; and turn away your faces from all your abominations."‘Therefore each one according to his ways is how I shall judge YOU, O house of Israel,’ is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah Repent, and turn yourselves from all your transgressions; so iniquity shall not be your ruin. And the word of Jehovah continued to occur to me, saying: "Son of man, here I am taking away from you the thing desirable to your eyes by a blow, and you should not beat your breast, neither should you weep nor should your tears come on. Sigh without words. For the dead ones no mourning should you make. Your headdress bind on yourself, and your sandals you should put upon your feet. And you should not cover over [the] mustache, and the bread of men you should not eat." Eze 14:6; 18:30; 24:15-17
Ezekiel had a vision where an angel gave him a tour of God’s heavenly house. After the vision he wrote that a river of the Spirit of God flows out through the entrance door into the throne room. Speaking about the angel, Ezekiel said, "Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar." Eze 47:1. We know that the "house" this verse is talking about is the heavenly temple of God because it is water that "flows from the sanctuary" v 47:12
The Father has exalted Jesus to such a great extent that He is radiating enough of the Holy Spirit to cause a river to flow down from before the throne: "Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb" Revelation 22:1
Note the volume. It is a river. It is not a small stream. It is the radiance of God that becomes the river that flows out through the doorway to the throne room. I will ransom them from the power of Sheol; I will redeem them from death: O death, where are thy plagues? O Sheol, where is thy destruction? their repentance shall be hid from mine eyes. Ho 13:14. Who is there knowing whether he will turn back and actually repent, feel regret and let remain after it a blessing, a grain offering and a drink offering for Jehovah YOUR God? Joe 2:14
"For this is what Jehovah of armies has said, ‘"Just as Ihad in mind to do what was calamitous to YOU people because of YOUR forefathers’ making me indignant," Jehovah of armies has said, "and I felt no regret,so I will again have in mind in these days to deal well with Jerusalem and with the house of Judah. Do not be afraid."’ "‘These are the things that YOU people should do: Speak truthfully with one another. With truth and the judgment of peace do YOUR judging in YOUR gates. And calamity to one another do not YOU scheme up in YOUR hearts, and do not love any false oath; for these are all things that I have hated,’ is the utterance of Jehovah." Zec 8:14-17
Jesus said : "YOU must pray, then, this way: Our Father in heaven, help us to honor your name. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place , as in heaven, also upon earth. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us for doing wrong, as we are to forgive others. Keep us from being tempted and protect us from the evil one. If you forgive others for the wrongs they do to you, your Father in heaven will forgive YOU; whereas if YOU do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will YOUR Father forgive YOUR trespasses. Matthew 6:9-15
In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Ju·de´a, saying: "REPENT, for the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near." This, in fact, isthe one spoken of through Isaiah the prophet in these words: "Listen! Someone is crying out in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of Jehovah, YOU people! Make his roads straight.’" But this very John had his clothing of camel’s hair and a leather girdle around his loins; his food too was insect locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem and all Ju·de´a and all the country around the Jordan made their way out to him, and people were baptized by him in the Jordan River, openly confessing their sins. When he caught sight of many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to the baptism, he said to them: "YOU offspring of vipers, who has intimated to YOU to flee from the coming wrath? So then produce fruit that befits repentance; and do not presume to say to yourselves, ‘As a father we have Abraham.’ For I say to YOU that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. Already the ax is lying at the root of the trees; every tree, then, that does not produce fine fruit is to be cut down and thrown into the fire. I, for my part, baptize YOU with water because of YOUR repentance; but the one coming after me is stronger than I am, whose sandals I am not fit to take off. That one will baptize YOU people with holy spirit and with fire.
His winnowing shovel is in his hand, and he will completely clean up his threshing floor, and will gather his wheat into the storehouse, but the chaff he will burn up with fire that cannot be put out." Then Jesus came from Gal´i·lee to the Jordan to John, in order to be baptized by him. But the latter tried to prevent him, saying: "I am the one needing to be baptized by you, and are you coming to me?" In reply Jesus said to him: "Let it be, this time, for in that way it is suitable for us to carry out all thatis righteous." Then he quit preventing him. After being baptized Jesus immediately came up from the water; and, look! the heavens were opened up, and he saw descending like a dove God’s spirit coming upon him. Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved." Mt 3:1-17
Then he started to reproach the cities in which most of his powerful works had taken place, because they did not repent: "Woe to you, Cho·ra´zin! Woe to you, Beth·sa´i·da! because if the powerful works had taken place in Tyre and Si´don that took place in YOU, they would long ago have repented in sackcloth and ashes. Consequently I say to YOU, It will be more endurable for Tyre and Si´don on Judgment Day than for YOU. And you, Ca·per´na·um, will you perhaps be exalted to heaven? Down to Ha´des you will come; because if the powerful works that took place in you had taken place in Sod´om, it would have remained until this very day. Consequently I say to YOU people, It will be more endurable for the land of Sod´om on Judgment Day than for you." Mt 11:20-24
For just as Jo´nah was in the belly of the huge fish three days and three nights, so the Son of man will be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights. Men of Nin´e·veh will rise up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; because they repented at what Jo´nah preached, but, look! something more than Jo´nah is here. The queen of the south will be raised up in the judgment with this generation and will condemn it; because she came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Sol´o·mon, but, look! something more than Sol´o·mon is here. Mt 14:40-42
At that very season there were certain ones present that reported to him about the Gal·i·le´ans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. So in reply he said to them: "Do YOU imagine that these Gal·i·le´ans were proved worse sinners than all other Gal·i·le´ans because they have suffered these things? No, indeed, I tell YOU; but, unless YOU repent, YOU will all likewise be destroyed. Or those eighteen upon whom the tower in Si·lo´am fell, there by killing them, do YOU imagine that they were proved greater debtors than all other men inhabiting Jerusalem? No, indeed, I tell YOU; but, unless YOU repent, YOU will all be destroyed in the same way." Lu 13:1-5
Now all the tax collectors and the sinners kept drawing near to him to hear him. Consequently both the Pharisees and the scribes kept muttering, saying: "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them." Then he spoke this illustration to them, saying: "What man of YOU with a hundred sheep, on losing one of them, will not leave the ninety-nine behind in the wilderness and go for the lost one until he finds it? And when he has found it he puts it upon hisshoulders and rejoices. And when he gets home he calls his friends and his neighbors together, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, because I have found my sheep that was lost.’ I tell YOU that thus there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner that repents than over ninety-nine righteous ones who have no need of repentance. Lu 15:1-7But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to these.’ Then he said, ‘No, indeed, father Abraham, but if someone from the dead goes to them they will repent.’ But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded if someone rises from the dead.’" Then he said to his disciples: "It is unavoidable that causes for stumbling should come. Nevertheless, woe to the one through whom they come! It would be of more advantage to him if a millstone were suspended from his neck and he were thrown into the sea than for him to stumble one of these little ones. Pay attention to yourselves. If your brother commits a sin give him a rebuke, and if he repents forgive him. Even if he sins seven times a day against you and he comes back to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him." Lu 16:29,30; 17:1-4
He now said to them: "These are my words which I spoke to YOU while I was yet with YOU, that all the things written in the law of Moses and in the Prophets and Psalms about me must be fulfilled." Then he opened up their minds fully to grasp the meaning of the Scriptures, and he said to them: "In this way it iswritten that the Christ would suffer and rise from among the dead on the third day, and on the basis of his name repentance for forgiveness of sins would be preached in all the nations—starting out from Jerusalem, YOU are to be witnesses of these things. And, look! I am sending forth upon YOU that which is promised by my Father. YOU,though, abide in the city until YOU become clothed with power from on high." Lu 24:44-49
Consequently his name, by [our] faith in his name, has made this man strong whom YOU behold and know, and the faith that is through him has given the man this complete soundness in the sight of all of YOU. And now, brothers, I know that YOU acted in ignorance, just as YOUR rulers also did. But in this way God has fulfilled the things he announced beforehand through the mouth of all the prophets, that his Christ would suffer.
"Repent, therefore, and turn around so as to get YOUR sins blotted out, that seasons of refreshing may come from the person of Jehovah and that he may send forth the Christ appointed for YOU, Jesus, whom heaven, indeed, must hold within itself until the times of restoration of all things of which God spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets of old time. Ac 3:16-21
If, therefore, God gave the same free gift to them as he also did to us who have believed upon the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I should be able to hinder God?" Now when they heard these things, they acquiesced, and they glorified God, saying: "Well, then, God hasgranted repentance for the purpose of life to people of the nations also." Ac 11:17,18
"Seeing, therefore, that we are the progeny of God, we ought not to imagine that the Divine Being is like gold or silver or stone, like something sculptured by the art and contrivance of man. True, God has overlooked the times of such ignorance, yet now he is telling mankind that they should all everywhere repent. Because he has set a day in which he purposes to judge the inhabited earth in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed, and he has furnished a guarantee to all men in that he has resurrected him from the dead." but both to those in Damascus first and to those in Jerusalem, and over all the country of Ju·de´a, and to the nations I went bringing the message that they should repent and turn to God by doing works that befit repentance. Ac 17:29-31; 26:20
Or do you despise the riches of his kindness and forbearance and long-suffering, because you do not know that the kindly [quality] of God is trying to lead you to repentance? But according to your hardness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath foryourself on the day of wrath and of the revealing of God’s righteous judgment. And he will render to each one according to his works: Ro 2:4-6
Consequently let him that thinks he is standing beware that he does not fall. No temptation has taken YOU except what is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not let YOU be tempted beyond what YOU can bear, but along with the temptation he will also make theway out in order for YOU to be able to endure it. 1 Co 10:12,13
now I rejoice, not because YOU were just saddened, but becauseYOU were saddened into repenting; for YOU were saddened in a godly way, that YOU might suffer no damage in anything due to us. For sadness in a godly way makes for repentance to salvation that is not to be regretted; but the sadness of the world produces death. For, look! this very thing, YOUR being saddened in a godly way, what a great earnestness it produced in YOU, yes, clearing of yourselves, yes, indignation, yes, fear, yes, longing, yes,zeal,yes, righting of the wrong! Inevery respect YOU demonstrated yourselves to be chaste in this matter. Certainly, althoughI wrote YOU, I did it, neither for the one who did the wrong, nor for the one who was wronged, but that YOUR earnestness for us might be made manifest among YOU in the sight of God. 2 Co 7:9-12
Perhaps, when I come again, my God might humiliate me among YOU, and I might mourn over many of those who formerly sinned but have not repented over their uncleanness and fornication and loose conduct that they have practiced. 2 Co 12:21
So, flee from the desires incidental to youth, but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace, along with those who call upon the Lord out of a clean heart. Further, turn down foolish and ignorant questionings, knowing they produce fights. But a slave of the Lord does not need to fight, but needs to be gentle toward all, qualified to teach, keeping himself restrained under evil, instructing with mildness those not favorably disposed; as perhaps God may give them repentance leading to anaccurate knowledge of truth, 2 Ti 2: 22-25
But by the same word the heavens and the earth that are now are stored up for fire and are being reserved to the day of judgment and of destruction of the ungodly men. However, let this one fact not be escaping YOUR notice, beloved ones, that one day is with Jehovah as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day. Jehovah is not slow respecting his promise, as some people consider slowness, but he is patient with YOU because he does not desire any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 2 Pe 3:7-9
"‘Therefore remember from what you have fallen, and repent and do the former deeds. If you do not, I am coming to you, and I will remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent. Re 2:5
"‘Nevertheless, I do hold [this] against you, that you tolerate that woman Jez´e·bel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and misleads my slaves to commit fornication and to eat thingssacrificed to idols. And I gave her time to repent, but she is not willing to repent of her fornication. Look! I am about to throw her into a sickbed, and those committing adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of her deeds. "‘All those for whom I have affection I reprove and discipline. Therefore be zealous and repent. Re 2:20-22; 3:19
because they poured out the blood of holy ones and of prophets, and you have given them blood to drink. They deserve it." And I heard the altar say: "Yes, Jehovah God, the Almighty, true and righteous are your judicial decisions." And the fourth one poured out his bowl upon the sun; and to [the sun] it was granted to scorch the men with fire. And the men were scorched with great heat, but they blasphemed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give glory to him. And the fifth one poured out his bowl upon the throne of thewild beast. And its kingdom became darkened, and they began to gnaw their tongues for [their] pain, but they blasphemed the God of heaven for their pains and for their ulcers, and they did not repent of their works.
