Then Jacob called for his sons and said:“ Gather around so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.

Then Jacob sent for his sons. He said,“ Gather around me so I can tell you what will happen to you in days to come.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you what shall happen to you in days to come.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather around, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

Then Jacob summoned his sons and said,“ Assemble yourselves, so that I may tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

And Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said: Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which shall befall you in the latter days.

Then Jacob called his sons and said,“ Gather around, and I will tell you what will happen to you in the days to come.

And Jacob called unto his sons, and said, Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you[ that] which shall befall you in the last days.

Jacob called for his sons and said,“ Gather together so I can tell you what will happen to you in the future.

Jacob called to his sons, and said:“ Gather yourselves together, that I may tell you that which will happen to you in the days to come.

Now I am returning to my own people. But first let me tell you what the Israelites will do to your people in the future.”

Now I am here to explain what will happen to your people in the future, for this vision concerns a time yet to come.”

The anger of the Lord will not diminish until it has finished all he has planned. In the days to come you will understand all this very clearly.

“ In the distant future, when you are suffering all these things, you will finally return to the Lord your God and listen to what he tells you.

Then as I looked, I saw a door standing open in heaven, and the same voice I had heard before spoke to me like a trumpet blast. The voice said,“ Come up here, and I will show you what must happen after this.”

Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works.And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.

The Lord is a friend to those who fear him. He teaches them his covenant.

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

Call them all together— men, women, children, and the foreigners living in your towns— so they may hear this Book of Instruction and learn to fear the Lord your God and carefully obey all the terms of these instructions.

“ Do not touch my chosen people, and do not hurt my prophets.”

The king said to Daniel,“ Truly, your God is the greatest of gods, the Lord over kings, a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this secret.”

You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.

Indeed, the Sovereign Lord never does anything until he reveals his plans to his servants the prophets.

“ Now summon all the elders and officials of your tribes, so that I can speak to them directly and call heaven and earth to witness against them.I know that after my death you will become utterly corrupt and will turn from the way I have commanded you to follow. In the days to come, disaster will come down on you, for you will do what is evil in the Lord’s sight, making him very angry with your actions.”

‘ The time is coming when everything in your palace— all the treasures stored up by your ancestors until now— will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the Lord.

This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say,“ It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”But God shows his anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked people who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

But there is a God in heaven who reveals secrets, and he has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the future. Now I will tell you your dream and the visions you saw as you lay on your bed.“ While Your Majesty was sleeping, you dreamed about coming events. He who reveals secrets has shown you what is going to happen.

Now the Holy Spirit tells us clearly that in the last times some will turn away from the true faith; they will follow deceptive spirits and teachings that come from demons.

The Lord of Heaven’s Armies has revealed this to me:“ Till the day you die, you will never be forgiven for this sin.” That is the judgment of the Lord, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.

And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.

In the last days, the mountain of the Lord’s house will be the highest of all— the most important place on earth. It will be raised above the other hills, and people from all over the world will stream there to worship.

This is the blessing that Moses, the man of God, gave to the people of Israel before his death:“ The Lord came from Mount Sinai and dawned upon us from Mount Seir; he shone forth from Mount Paran and came from Meribah kadesh with flaming fire at his right hand.Indeed, he loves his people; all his holy ones are in his hands. They follow in his steps and accept his teaching.Moses gave us the Lord’s instruction, the special possession of the people of Israel.The Lord became king in Israel— when the leaders of the people assembled, when the tribes of Israel gathered as one.”Moses said this about the tribe of Reuben:“ Let the tribe of Reuben live and not die out, though they are few in number.”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!”Moses said this about the tribe of Levi:“ O Lord, you have given your Thummim and Urim— the sacred lots— to your faithful servants the Levites. You put them to the test at Massah and struggled with them at the waters of Meribah.The Levites obeyed your word and guarded your covenant. They were more loyal to you than to their own parents. They ignored their relatives and did not acknowledge their own children.They teach your regulations to Jacob; they give your instructions to Israel. They present incense before you and offer whole burnt offerings on the altar.Bless the ministry of the Levites, O Lord, and accept all the work of their hands. Hit their enemies where it hurts the most; strike down their foes so they never rise again.”Moses said this about the tribe of Benjamin:“ The people of Benjamin are loved by the Lord and live in safety beside him. He surrounds them continuously and preserves them from every harm.”Moses said this about the tribes of Joseph:“ May their land be blessed by the Lord with the precious gift of dew from the heavens and water from beneath the earth;with the rich fruit that grows in the sun, and the rich harvest produced each month;with the finest crops of the ancient mountains, and the abundance from the everlasting hills;with the best gifts of the earth and its bounty, and the favor of the one who appeared in the burning bush. May these blessings rest on Joseph’s head, crowning the brow of the prince among his brothers.Joseph has the majesty of a young bull; he has the horns of a wild ox. He will gore distant nations, even to the ends of the earth. This is my blessing for the multitudes of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.”Moses said this about the tribes of Zebulun and Issachar:“ May the people of Zebulun prosper in their travels. May the people of Issachar prosper at home in their tents.They summon the people to the mountain to offer proper sacrifices there. They benefit from the riches of the sea and the hidden treasures in the sand.”Moses said this about the tribe of Gad:“ Blessed is the one who enlarges Gad’s territory! Gad is poised there like a lion to tear off an arm or a head.The people of Gad took the best land for themselves; a leader’s share was assigned to them. When the leaders of the people were assembled, they carried out the Lord’s justice and obeyed his regulations for Israel.”Moses said this about the tribe of Dan:“ Dan is a lion’s cub, leaping out from Bashan.”Moses said this about the tribe of Naphtali:“ O Naphtali, you are rich in favor and full of the Lord’s blessings; may you possess the west and the south.”Moses said this about the tribe of Asher:“ May Asher be blessed above other sons; may he be esteemed by his brothers; may he bathe his feet in olive oil.May the bolts of your gates be of iron and bronze; may you be secure all your days.”“ There is no one like the God of Israel. He rides across the heavens to help you, across the skies in majestic splendor.The eternal God is your refuge, and his everlasting arms are under you. He drives out the enemy before you; he cries out,‘ Destroy them!’So Israel will live in safety, prosperous Jacob in security, in a land of grain and new wine, while the heavens drop down dew.How blessed you are, O Israel! Who else is like you, a people saved by the Lord? He is your protecting shield and your triumphant sword! Your enemies will cringe before you, and you will stomp on their backs!”

In the third year of the reign of King Cyrus of Persia, Daniel( also known as Belteshazzar) had another vision. He understood that the vision concerned events certain to happen in the future— times of war and great hardship.

‘ In the last days,’ God says,‘ I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams.

Who has believed our message? To whom has the Lord revealed his powerful arm?

and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah.

Keep on loving each other as brothers and sisters.
