And this he said of Judah:“ Hear, O Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him in to his people. With your hands contend for him, and be a help against his adversaries.”

Moses said this about the tribe of Judah:“ O Lord, hear the cry of Judah and bring them together as a people. Give them strength to defend their cause; help them against their enemies!”

And this was regarding Judah; so he said:“ Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, And bring him to his people. With his hands he contended for them, And may You be a help against his adversaries.”

“ Judah, your brothers will praise you. Your enemies will be brought under your control. Your father’s sons will bow down to you.Judah, you are like a lion’s cub. You return from hunting, my son. Like a lion, you lie down and sleep. You are like a mother lion. Who dares to wake you up?The right to rule will not leave Judah. The ruler’s scepter will not be taken from between his feet. It will be his until the king it belongs to will come. The nations will obey that king.He will tie his donkey to a vine. He will tie his colt to the very best branch. He will wash his clothes in wine. He will wash his robes in the red juice of grapes.His eyes will be darker than wine. His teeth will be whiter than milk.

The Lord will not be pleased with the young men. He won’t take pity on widows and on children whose fathers have died. All of them are ungodly and evil. They say foolish things with their mouths. Even then, the Lord is still angry. His hand is still raised against them.

I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I have destroyed all your enemies. Now I will make you famous. Your name will be just as respected as the names of the most important people on earth.I will provide a place where my people Israel can live. I will plant them in the land. Then they will have a home of their own. They will not be bothered anymore. Evil people will no longer crush them, as they did at first.That is what your enemies have done ever since I appointed leaders over my people Israel. But I will give you peace and rest from all of them.“‘ “I tell you that I, the Lord, will set up a royal house for you.Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure.

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood. His name is the Word of God.The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses. They were dressed in fine linen, white and clean.Coming out of the rider’s mouth is a sharp sword. He will strike down the nations with the sword. Scripture says,“ He will rule them with an iron scepter.”( Psalm 2:9) He stomps on the grapes of God’s winepress. The winepress stands for the terrible anger of the God who rules over all.Here is the name that is written on the rider’s robe and on his thigh. the greatest king of all and the most powerful lord of all

Joshua died. After that, the Israelites spoke to the Lord. They asked him,“ Who of us will go up first and fight against the Canaanites?”The Lord answered,“ The tribe of Judah will go up. I have handed the land over to them.”Then the men of Judah spoke to their fellow Israelites, the men of Simeon. They said,“ Come up with us. Come into the territory Joshua gave us. Help us fight against the Canaanites. Then we’ll go with you into your territory.” So the men of Simeon went with them.When the men of Judah attacked, the Lord helped them. He handed the Canaanites and Perizzites over to them. They struck down 10,000 men at Bezek.The men of Judah found Adoni- Bezek there. They fought against him. They struck down the Canaanites and Perizzites.But Adoni- Bezek ran away. The men of Judah chased him and caught him. Then they cut off his thumbs and big toes.Adoni- Bezek said,“ I cut off the thumbs and big toes of 70 kings. I made them pick up scraps under my table. Now God has paid me back for what I did to them.” The men of Judah brought Adoni- Bezek to Jerusalem. That’s where he died.

Day after day men came to help David. Soon he had a large army. It was like the army of God.

And what about my enemies who did not want me to be king over them? Bring them here! Kill them in front of me!’ ”

I run to the Lord for safety. So how can you say to me,“ Fly away like a bird to your mountain.Look! Evil people are bending their bows. They are placing their arrows against the strings. They are planning to shoot from the shadows at those who have honest hearts.When law and order are being destroyed, what can godly people do?”The Lord is in his holy temple. The Lord is on his throne in heaven. He watches everyone on earth. His eyes study them.The Lord watches over those who do what is right. But he really hates sinful people and those who love to hurt others.He will pour out flaming coals and burning sulfur on those who do what is wrong. A hot and dry wind will destroy them.The Lord always does what is right. So he loves it when people do what is fair. Those who are honest will enjoy his blessing.

Instead, he chose to live in the tribe of Judah. He chose Mount Zion, which he loved.

Christ must rule until he has put all his enemies under his control.

Blessed are those who depend on the God of Jacob for help. Blessed are those who put their hope in the Lord their God.

May he send you help from the sacred tent. May he give you aid from Zion.

So David asked the Lord for advice. He said,“ Should I go and attack the Philistines? Will you hand them over to me?” The Lord answered him,“ Go. I will surely hand over the Philistines to you.”

All the tribes of Israel came to see David at Hebron. They said,“ We are your own flesh and blood.

The Lord says,“ Bethlehem Ephrathah, you might not be an important town in the nation of Judah. But out of you will come for me a ruler over Israel. His family line goes back to the early years of your nation. It goes all the way back to days of long ago.”

The Lord who rules over all says,“ I will send my messenger. He will prepare my way for me. Then suddenly the Lord you are looking for will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant will come. He is the one you long for.”

The war between Saul’s royal house and David’s royal house lasted a long time. David grew stronger and stronger. But the royal house of Saul grew weaker and weaker.

It is clear that our Lord came from the family line of Judah. Moses said nothing about priests who were from the tribe of Judah.

The Lord says to my lord,“ Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your control.”The Lord will make your royal authority spread out from Zion to other lands. He says,“ Rule over your enemies who are all around you.”

You, the king, will capture all your enemies. Your right hand will take hold of them.

Lord, the king is filled with joy because you are strong. How great is his joy because you help him win his battles!

Listen for the sound of marching in the tops of the trees. Then move quickly. The sound will mean that I have gone out in front of you. I will strike down the Philistine army.”

Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful. He built forts in Judah. He also built cities in Judah where he could store things.He had large supplies in the towns of Judah.

He commanded 300,000 fighting men.Another was Jehohanan. He commanded 280,000.Another was Amasiah, the son of Zikri. Amasiah commanded 200,000. He had offered to serve the Lord.From Benjamin there were also commanders. One of them was Eliada. He was a brave soldier. He commanded 200,000 men. They were armed with bows and shields.Another was Jehozabad. He commanded 180,000 men. They were prepared for battle.These were the men who served the king.

The devil had caused them to believe lies. He was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. That is where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will all suffer day and night for ever and ever.I saw a great white throne. And I saw God sitting on it. When the earth and sky saw his face, they ran away. There was no place for them.I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.
