but their minds were closed. For to this day, at the reading of the old covenant, the same veil remains; it is not lifted, because it is set aside only in Christ.Even to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their hearts,but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.

Isaiah 2:1-8
The vision that Isaiah son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. All nations will stream to it,and many peoples will come and say,“ Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us about His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For instruction will go out of Zion and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.He will settle disputes among the nations and provide arbitration for many peoples. They will turn their swords into plows and their spears into pruning knives. Nations will not take up the sword against other nations, and they will never again train for war.House of Jacob, come and let us walk in the Lord’s light.For You have abandoned Your people, the house of Jacob, because they are full of divination from the East and of fortune-tellers like the Philistines. They are in league with foreigners.Their land is full of silver and gold, and there is no limit to their treasures; their land is full of horses, and there is no limit to their chariots.Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their hands, to what their fingers have made.

Zechariah 14:9-21
On that day Yahweh will become King over all the earth— Yahweh alone, and His name alone.All the land from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem will be changed into a plain. But Jerusalem will be raised up and will remain on its site from the Benjamin Gate to the place of the First Gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the royal winepresses.People will live there, and never again will there be a curse of complete destruction. So Jerusalem will dwell in security.This will be the plague the Lord strikes all the peoples with, who have warred against Jerusalem: their flesh will rot while they stand on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths.On that day a great panic from the Lord will be among them, so that each will seize the hand of another, and the hand of one will rise against the other.Judah will also fight at Jerusalem, and the wealth of all the surrounding nations will be collected: gold, silver, and clothing in great abundance.The same plague as the previous one will strike the horses, mules, camels, donkeys, and all the animals that are in those camps.Then all the survivors from the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up year after year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to celebrate the Festival of Booths.Should any of the families of the earth not go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, rain will not fall on them.And if the people of Egypt will not go up and enter, then rain will not fall on them; this will be the plague the Lord inflicts on the nations who do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.This will be the punishment of Egypt and all the nations that do not go up to celebrate the Festival of Booths.On that day, the words HOLY TO THE LORD will be on the bells of the horses. The pots in the house of the Lord will be like the sprinkling basins before the altar.Every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of Hosts. Everyone who sacrifices will come and take some of the pots to cook in. And on that day there will no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the Lord of Hosts.

Zechariah 8:20-23
The Lord of Hosts says this:“ Peoples will yet come, the residents of many cities;the residents of one city will go to another, saying: Let’s go at once to plead for the Lord’s favor and to seek the Lord of Hosts. I am also going.Many peoples and strong nations will come to seek the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem and to plead for the Lord’s favor.”The Lord of Hosts says this:“ In those days, 10 men from nations of every language will grab the robe of a Jewish man tightly, urging: Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

May he rule from sea to sea and from the Euphrates to the ends of the earth.May desert tribes kneel before him and his enemies lick the dust.May the kings of Tarshish and the coasts and islands bring tribute, the kings of Sheba and Seba offer gifts.Let all kings bow down to him, all nations serve him.For he will rescue the poor who cry out and the afflicted who have no helper.He will have pity on the poor and helpless and save the lives of the poor.He will redeem them from oppression and violence, for their lives are precious in his sight.

Isaiah 60:1-22
Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines over you.For look, darkness covers the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the Lord will shine over you, and His glory will appear over you.Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your radiance.Raise your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried on the hip.Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and rejoice, because the riches of the sea will become yours and the wealth of the nations will come to you.Caravans of camels will cover your land— young camels of Midian and Ephah— all of them will come from Sheba. They will carry gold and frankincense and proclaim the praises of the Lord.All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will serve you and go up on My altar as an acceptable sacrifice. I will glorify My beautiful house.Who are these who fly like a cloud, like doves to their shelters?Yes, the islands will wait for Me with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from far away, their silver and gold with them, for the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you. Although I struck you in My wrath, yet I will show mercy to you with My favor.Your gates will always be open; they will never be shut day or night so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession.For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be annihilated.The glory of Lebanon will come to you— its pine, fir, and cypress together— to beautify the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify My dwelling place.The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet. They will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.Instead of your being deserted and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you an object of eternal pride, a joy from age to age.You will nurse on the milk of nations, and nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.I will bring gold instead of bronze; I will bring silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones. I will appoint peace as your guard and righteousness as your ruler.Violence will never again be heard of in your land; devastation and destruction will be gone from your borders. But you will name your walls salvation and your gates, praise.The sun will no longer be your light by day, and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not fade; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will be over.Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch I planted, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.The least will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am Yahweh; I will accomplish it quickly in its time.

Revelation 20:2-4
He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the Devil and Satan, and bound him for 1,000 years.He threw him into the abyss, closed it, and put a seal on it so that he would no longer deceive the nations until the 1,000 years were completed. After that, he must be released for a short time.Then I saw thrones, and people seated on them who were given authority to judge. I also saw the people who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of God’s word, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and who had not accepted the mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with the Messiah for 1,000 years.

Isaiah 66:18-23
“ Knowing their works and their thoughts, I have come to gather all nations and languages; they will come and see My glory.I will establish a sign among them, and I will send survivors from them to the nations— to Tarshish, Put, Lud( who are archers), Tubal, Javan, and the islands far away— who have not heard of My fame or seen My glory. And they will proclaim My glory among the nations.They will bring all your brothers from all the nations as a gift to the Lord on horses and chariots, in litters, and on mules and camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,” says the Lord,“ just as the Israelites bring an offering in a clean vessel to the house of the Lord.I will also take some of them as priests and Levites,” says the Lord.“ For just as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, will endure before Me”— this is the Lord’s declaration—“ so your offspring and your name will endure.All mankind will come to worship Me from one New Moon to another and from one Sabbath to another,” says the Lord.
