Today a Savior, who is Messiah the Lord, was born for you in the city of David.

I will give one tribe to his son, so that My servant David will always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city I chose for Myself to put My name there.

If his sons forsake My instruction and do not live by My ordinances,if they dishonor My statutes and do not keep My commands,then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their sin with blows.But I will not withdraw My faithful love from him or betray My faithfulness.I will not violate My covenant or change what My lips have said.

But You have spurned and rejected him; You have become enraged with Your anointed.You have repudiated the covenant with Your servant; You have completely dishonored his crown.You have broken down all his walls; You have reduced his fortified cities to ruins.All who pass by plunder him; he has become an object of ridicule to his neighbors.You have lifted high the right hand of his foes; You have made all his enemies rejoice.You have also turned back his sharp sword and have not let him stand in battle.You have made his splendor cease and have overturned his throne.You have shortened the days of his youth; You have covered him with shame. Selah

“ The days are coming”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ when I will raise up a Righteous Branch of David. He will reign wisely as king and administer justice and righteousness in the land.In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. This is what He will be named: Yahweh Our Righteousness.

And Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family line of David,

For the Lord will not reject us forever.Even if He causes suffering, He will show compassion according to His abundant, faithful love.

Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel.

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David.He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no end.

Then a shoot will grow from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots will bear fruit.The Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him— a Spirit of wisdom and understanding, a Spirit of counsel and strength, a Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.His delight will be in the fear of the Lord. He will not judge by what He sees with His eyes, He will not execute justice by what He hears with His ears,but He will judge the poor righteously and execute justice for the oppressed of the land. He will strike the land with discipline from His mouth, and He will kill the wicked with a command from His lips.Righteousness will be a belt around His loins; faithfulness will be a belt around His waist.The wolf will live with the lamb, and the leopard will lie down with the goat. The calf, the young lion, and the fatling will be together, and a child will lead them.The cow and the bear will graze, their young ones will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox.An infant will play beside the cobra’s pit, and a toddler will put his hand into a snake’s den.None will harm or destroy another on My entire holy mountain, for the land will be as full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is filled with water.On that day the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples. The nations will seek Him, and His resting place will be glorious.

The dominion will be vast, and its prosperity will never end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from now on and forever. The zeal of the Lord of Hosts will accomplish this.

Lord, where are the former acts of Your faithful love that You swore to David in Your faithfulness?Remember, Lord, the ridicule against Your servants— in my heart I carry abuse from all the peoples—how Your enemies have ridiculed, Lord, how they have ridiculed every step of Your anointed.

In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt went to war against Jerusalem.He seized the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and the treasuries of the royal palace. He took everything. He took all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
