For look, I have come; I will settle in your midst,” says the LORD.“ Many nations will join themselves to the LORD on the day of salvation, and they will also be my people. Indeed, I will settle in the midst of you all.” Then you will know that the LORD who rules over all has sent me to you.The LORD will take possession of Judah as his portion in the holy land and he will choose Jerusalem once again.Be silent in the LORD’s presence, all people everywhere, for he is being moved to action in his holy dwelling place.
