Look, your house is left empty. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,‘ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.’ ”( Psalm 118:26)

看哪，你们的家成为荒场留给你们。我告诉你们，从今以后你们不得再见我，直等到你们说：‘奉主名来的是应当称颂的。’”

看吧，你们的家要被废弃。我告诉你们，你们绝不会再见到我，直到你们说：‘奉主名来的是应当称颂的！’”

看吧，你们的家要被废弃。我告诉你们，你们绝不会再见到我，直到你们说：‘奉主名来的是应当称颂的！’”

看啊！你们的家园将一片荒凉。我告诉你们，在你们说‘奉主名来的当受称颂’之前，你们再也见不到我了。”

你看，你们的家必成为荒场留给你们。我告诉你们，从今以后，你们一定见不到我，直等到你们说：‘奉主名来的，是应当称颂的。’”

看哪，你们的家要被废弃。我告诉你们：你们绝不会再见到我了，直到那日子来临，就是你们说‘奉主名而来的那一位是蒙祝福的’那时候。”

看哪，你們的家成為荒場留給你們。我告訴你們，從今以後你們不得再見我，直等到你們說：『奉主名來的是應當稱頌的。』」

看吧，你們的家要被廢棄。我告訴你們，你們絕不會再見到我，直到你們說：『奉主名來的是應當稱頌的！』」

看吧，你們的家要被廢棄。我告訴你們，你們絕不會再見到我，直到你們說：『奉主名來的是應當稱頌的！』」

看啊！你們的家園將一片荒涼。我告訴你們，在你們說『奉主名來的當受稱頌』之前，你們再也見不到我了。」

你看，你們的家必成為荒場留給你們。我告訴你們，從今以後，你們一定見不到我，直等到你們說：‘奉主名來的，是應當稱頌的。’”

你看吧，你們的殿留下給你們了！我告訴你們，你們斷不得以見我，直等到你們說：「奉主名來的是當受祝頌的！」』

看哪，你們的家要被廢棄。我告訴你們：你們絕不會再見到我了，直到那日子來臨，就是你們說『奉主名而來的那一位是蒙祝福的』那時候。」

爾室遺爾矣、我語汝、爾將不見我、迨爾云、奉主名來者宜頌也、

爾室將為墟矣我誠告爾、今而後、爾不見我、時至、將曰、托主名來者、當見寵也、

爾室將荒墟矣、我告爾、爾不復見我、待時至、爾云、奉主名而來者、當稱頌、

茲者爾室其墟矣。吾實語汝、而今而後、以至汝歡歌「奉主名而來者、洵堪頌揚」之日、汝將不得見吾矣。』

Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me again until you say,‘ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’”

Behold, your house is forsaken. And I tell you, you will not see me until you say,‘ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

And now, look, your house is abandoned. And you will never see me again until you say,‘ Blessings on the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

See, your house is abandoned to you. I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say,‘ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord’!”

Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until you say,‘ Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”

See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say,‘ Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

See, your house is abandoned to you. And I tell you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say,‘ He who comes in the name of the Lord is the blessed One’!”

Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until[ the time] come when ye shall say, Blessed[ is] he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Look, your house is forsaken! And I tell you, you will not see me until you say,‘ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Behold, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see me until you say,‘ Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’”

Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. From the temple of the Lord we bless you.

Some of the people went ahead of him, and some followed. They all shouted,“ Hosanna to the Son of David!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

“ Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:26)“ May there be peace and glory in the highest heaven!”Some of the Pharisees in the crowd spoke to Jesus.“ Teacher,” they said,“ tell your disciples to stop!”“ I tell you,” he replied,“ if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.”

Say with your mouth,“ Jesus is Lord.” Believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead. Then you will be saved.With your heart you believe and are made right with God. With your mouth you say what you believe. And so you are saved.Scripture says,“ The one who believes in him will never be put to shame.”( Isaiah 28:16)There is no difference between those who are Jews and those who are not. The same Lord is Lord of all. He richly blesses everyone who calls on him.Scripture says,“ Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”( Joel 2:32)How can they call on him unless they believe in him? How can they believe in him unless they hear about him? How can they hear about him unless someone preaches to them?And how can anyone preach without being sent? It is written,“ How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”( Isaiah 52:7)

So they took branches from palm trees and went out to meet him. They shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the king of Israel!”

Those in front and those in back shouted,“ Hosanna!”“ Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!”( Psalm 118:25, 26)“ Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!”“ Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

May their homes be deserted. May no one live in their tents.

Lebanon, open your doors! Then fire can burn up your cedar trees.Juniper trees, cry out! The cedar trees have fallen down. The majestic trees are destroyed. Cry out, you oak trees of Bashan! The thick forest has been cut down.

What a beautiful sight it is to see messengers coming with good news! How beautiful to see them coming down from the mountains with a message about peace! How wonderful it is when they bring the good news that we are saved! How wonderful when they say to Zion,“ Your God rules!”

Some of Jesus’ disciples were talking about the temple. They spoke about how it was decorated with beautiful stones and with gifts that honored God. But Jesus asked,“ Do you see all this? The time will come when not one stone will be left on top of another. Every stone will be thrown down.”

They found witnesses who were willing to tell lies. These liars said,“ This fellow never stops speaking against this holy place. He also speaks against the law.We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will destroy this place. He says Jesus will change the practices that Moses handed down to us.”

You will look for me, but you won’t find me. You can’t come where I am going.”The Jews said to one another,“ Where does this man plan to go? Does he think we can’t find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks? Will he go there to teach the Greeks?What did he mean when he said,‘ You will look for me, but you won’t find me’? And what did he mean when he said,‘ You can’t come where I am going’?”

So because of what you have done, Zion will be plowed up like a field. Jerusalem will be turned into a pile of trash. The temple hill will be covered with bushes and weeds.

Now I will tell you what I am going to do to my vineyard. I will take away its fence. And the vineyard will be destroyed. I will break down its wall. And people will walk all over my vineyard.I will turn my vineyard into a dry and empty desert. It will not be pruned or taken care of. Thorns and bushes will grow there. I will command the clouds not to rain on it.”

So the people of Israel will live for a long time without a king or prince. They won’t have sacrifices or sacred stones. They won’t have sacred linen aprons or statues of family gods.After that, the people of Israel will return to the Lord their God. They will look to him and to a king from the family line of David. In the last days, they will tremble with fear as they come to the Lord. And they will receive his full blessing.

Before long, the world will not see me anymore. But you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.On that day you will realize that I am in my Father. You will know that you are in me, and I am in you.Anyone who has my commands and obeys them loves me. My Father will love the one who loves me. I too will love them. And I will show myself to them.”Then Judas spoke.“ Lord,” he said,“ why do you plan to show yourself only to us? Why not also to the world?” The Judas who spoke those words was not Judas Iscariot.Jesus replied,“ Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them. We will come to them and make our home with them.

This made the Jews ask,“ Will he kill himself? Is that why he says,‘ You can’t come where I am going’?”But Jesus said,“ You are from below. I am from heaven. You are from this world. I am not from this world.I told you that you would die in your sins. This will happen if you don’t believe that I am he. If you don’t believe, you will certainly die in your sins.”

To this day, when the Law of Moses is read, a veil covers the minds of those who hear it.But when anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.Now the Lord is the Holy Spirit. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, freedom is also there.None of our faces are covered with a veil. All of us can see the Lord’s glory and think deeply about it. So we are being changed to become more like him so that we have more and more glory. And this glory comes from the Lord, who is the Holy Spirit.

After the 62‘ weeks,’ the Anointed King will be put to death. His followers will desert him. And everything he has will be taken away from him. The army of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the temple. The end will come like a flood. War will continue until the end. The Lord has ordered that many places be destroyed.A covenant will be put into effect with many people for one‘ week.’ In the middle of the‘ week’ sacrifices and offerings will come to an end. And at the temple a hated thing that destroys will be set up. It will remain until that ruler who will come is destroyed. Then he will experience what the Lord has ordered.”

“ I will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer on David’s family line. I will also send it on those who live in Jerusalem. They will look to me. I am the one they have pierced. They will mourn over me as someone mourns over an only child who has died. They will be full of sorrow over me. Their sorrow will be just like someone’s sorrow over an oldest son.

Then Jesus told them,“ You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light. Do this before darkness catches up with you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going.While you have the light, believe in it. Then you can become children of light.” When Jesus had finished speaking, he left and hid from them.

Zion, you are bringing good news to your people. Go up on a high mountain and announce it. Jerusalem, you are bringing good news to them. Shout the message loudly. Shout it out loud. Don’t be afraid. Say to the towns of Judah,“ Your God is coming!”The Lord and King is coming with power. He rules with a powerful arm. He has set his people free. He is bringing them back as his reward. He has won the battle over their enemies.He takes care of his flock like a shepherd. He gathers the lambs in his arms. He carries them close to his heart. He gently leads those that have little ones.

Your sacred cities have become a desert. Even Zion is a desert. Jerusalem is a dry and empty place.Our people of long ago used to praise you in our holy and glorious temple. But now it has been burned down. Everything we treasured has been destroyed.

Some will be killed by the sword. Others will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be taken over by Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles come to an end.

I will completely destroy your cities. I will destroy your places of worship. The pleasant smell of your offerings will not give me any delight.I myself will destroy your land so completely that your enemies who live there will be shocked.

Your country has been deserted. Your cities have been burned down. The food from your fields is being eaten up by outsiders. They are doing it right in front of you. Your land has been completely destroyed. It looks as if strangers have taken it over.The city of Zion is left like a shed where someone stands guard in a vineyard. It is left like a hut in a cucumber field. It’s like a city being attacked.

The Lord will gather all the nations together. They will fight against Jerusalem. They’ll capture the city. Its houses will be robbed. Its women will be raped. Half of the people will be taken away as prisoners. But the rest of them won’t be taken.

But suppose you do not obey these commands,” announces the Lord.“ Then I promise you that this palace will be destroyed. You can be as sure of this promise as you are sure that I live.” ’ ”
