They come from every tribe, people and nation, no matter what language they speak.You have made them members of a royal family. You have made them priests to serve our God. They will rule on the earth.”Then I looked and heard the voice of millions and millions of angels. They surrounded the throne. They surrounded the living creatures and the elders.In a loud voice they were saying,“ The Lamb, who was put to death, is worthy! He is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength! He is worthy to receive honor and glory and praise!”All creatures in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea were speaking. The whole creation was speaking. I heard all of them say,“ Praise and honor belong to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb! Glory and power belong to God for ever and ever!”The four living creatures said,“ Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

David praised the Lord in front of the whole community. He said,“ Lord, we give you praise. You are the God of our father Israel. We give you praise for ever and ever.Lord, you are great and powerful. Glory, majesty and beauty belong to you. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. Lord, the kingdom belongs to you. You are honored as the one who rules over all.Wealth and honor come from you. You are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power. You can give honor and strength to everyone.Our God, we give you thanks. We praise your glorious name.“ But who am I? And who are my people? Without your help we wouldn’t be able to give this much. Everything comes from you. We’ve given back to you only what comes from you.We are outsiders and strangers in your sight. So were all of our people who lived long ago. Our days on this earth are like a shadow. We don’t have any hope.Lord our God, we’ve given more than enough. We’ve provided it to build you a temple where you will put your holy Name. But all of it comes from you. All of it belongs to you.My God, I know that you tested our hearts. And you are pleased when we are honest. I’ve given all these things just because I wanted to. When I did it, I was completely honest with you. Your people here have also been willing to give to you. And I’ve been happy to see this.Lord, you are the God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel. Keep these desires and thoughts in the hearts of your people forever. Keep their hearts faithful to you.Help my son Solomon serve you with all his heart. Then he will keep your commands and rules. He will do what you require. He’ll do everything to build the grand and wonderful temple I’ve provided for.”Then David said to the whole community,“ Praise the Lord your God.” So all of them praised the Lord. He’s the God of their people who lived long ago. The whole community bowed low. They fell down flat with their faces toward the ground. They did it in front of the Lord and the king.

Jeremiah 32:17-24
“ ‘ Lord and King, you have reached out your great and powerful arm. You have made the heavens and the earth. Nothing is too hard for you.You show your love to thousands of people. But you cause the sins of parents to affect even their children. Great and powerful God, your name is the Lord Who Rules Over All.Your purposes are great. Your acts are mighty. Your eyes see everything people do. You reward each one of them in keeping with their conduct. You do this based on what they have done.You performed signs and wonders in Egypt. And you have continued to do them to this day. You have done them in Israel and among all people. You are still known for doing them.You brought your people Israel out of Egypt. You did it with signs and wonders. You reached out your mighty hand and powerful arm. You did great and wonderful things.You gave Israel this land that you promised to their people of long ago. It is a land that has plenty of milk and honey.Israel came in and took it over. But they did not obey you. They didn’t follow your law. They didn’t do what you commanded them to do. So you brought all this trouble on them.“‘ See how ramps are built up against Jerusalem’s walls to attack it. The city will be handed over to the armies of Babylon. They are attacking it. It will fall because of war, hunger and plague. What you said would happen is now happening, as you can see.

Romans 11:25-29
Brothers and sisters, here is a mystery I want you to understand. It will keep you from being proud. Part of Israel has refused to obey God. That will continue until the full number of Gentiles has entered God’s kingdom.In this way all Israel will be saved. It is written,“ The God who saves will come from Mount Zion. He will remove sin from Jacob’s family.Here is my covenant with them. I will take away their sins.”( Isaiah 59:20, 21; 27:9; Jeremiah 31:33, 34)As far as the good news is concerned, the people of Israel are enemies. This is for your good. But as far as God’s choice is concerned, the people of Israel are loved. This is because of God’s promises to the founders of our nation.God does not take back his gifts. He does not change his mind about those he has chosen.

Psalms 107:8-43
Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.He gives those who are thirsty all the water they want. He gives those who are hungry all the good food they can eat.Others lived in the deepest darkness. They suffered as prisoners in iron chains.That’s because they hadn’t obeyed the commands of God. They had refused to follow the plans of the Most High God.So he made them do work that was hard and bitter. They tripped and fell, and there was no one to help them.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.He brought them out of the deepest darkness. He broke their chains off.Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.He breaks down gates that are made of bronze. He cuts through bars that are made of iron.Others were foolish. They suffered because of their sins. They suffered because they wouldn’t obey the Lord.They refused to eat anything. They came close to passing through the gates of death.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he saved them from their troubles.He gave his command and healed them. He saved them from the grave.Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.Let them sacrifice thank offerings. Let them talk about what he has done as they sing with joy.Some people sailed out on the ocean in ships. They traded goods on the mighty waters.They saw the works of the Lord. They saw the wonderful deeds he did on the ocean.He spoke and stirred up a storm. It lifted the waves high.They rose up to the heavens. Then they went down deep into the ocean. In that kind of danger the people’s boldness melted away.They were unsteady like people who have become drunk. They didn’t know what to do.Then they cried out to the Lord because of their problems. And he brought them out of their troubles.He made the storm as quiet as a whisper. The waves of the ocean calmed down.The people were glad when the ocean became calm. Then he guided them to the harbor they were looking for.Let them give thanks to the Lord for his faithful love. Let them give thanks for the wonderful things he does for people.Let them honor him among his people who gather for worship. Let them praise him in the meeting of the elders.He turned rivers into a desert. He turned flowing springs into thirsty ground.He turned land that produced crops into a salty land where nothing could grow. He did it because the people who lived there were evil.He turned the desert into pools of water. He turned the dry and cracked ground into flowing springs.He brought hungry people there to live. They built a city where they could make their homes.They planted fields and vineyards that produced large crops.He blessed the people, and they greatly increased their numbers. He kept their herds from getting smaller.Then the number of God’s people got smaller. They were made humble by trouble, suffering and sorrow.The God who looks down on proud nobles made them wander in a desert where no one lives.But he lifted needy people out of their suffering. He made their families increase like flocks of sheep.Honest people see it and are filled with joy. But no one who is evil has anything to say.Let those who are wise pay attention to these things. Let them think about the loving deeds of the Lord.

Ezekiel 38:17-23
“‘ Here is what the Lord and King says to Gog.“ In the past I spoke about you through my servants, the prophets of Israel. At that time they prophesied for years that I would bring you against them.Here is what will happen in days to come. You will attack the land of Israel. That will stir up my burning anger,” announces the Lord and King.“ At that time my burning anger will blaze out at you. There will be a great earthquake in the land of Israel.The fish in the sea, the birds in the sky and the wild animals will tremble with fear. They will tremble with fear because of what I will do. So will every creature that moves along the ground. And so will all the people on earth. The mountains will come crashing down. The cliffs will break into pieces. Every wall will fall to the ground.I will punish you on all my mountains,” announces the Lord and King.“ Your men will use their swords against one another.I will judge you. I will send a plague against you. A lot of blood will be spilled. I will send heavy rain, hailstones and burning sulfur down to the earth. They will fall on you and your troops. They will also come down on the many nations that are helping you.That will show how great and holy I am. I will make myself known to many nations. Then they will know that I am the Lord.” ’

Hebrews 6:17-18
So God gave his word when he made his promise. He wanted to make it very clear that his purpose does not change. He wanted those who would receive what was promised to know this.When God made his promise, he gave his word. He did this so we would have good reason not to give up. Instead, we have run to take hold of the hope set before us. This hope is set before us in God’s promise. So God made his promise and gave his word. These two things can’t change. He couldn’t lie about them.
