27On that day the LORD will use his powerful and deadly sword to punish Leviathan, that wriggling, twisting dragon, and to kill the monster that lives in the sea.H3117H3068H7186H1419H2389H2719H6485H3882H1281H5175H3882H6129H5175H2026H8577H32202On that day the LORD will say of his pleasant vineyard,H3117H6031H3754H2561H25313"I watch over it and water it continually. I guard it night and day so that no one will harm it.H3068H5341H8248H7281H6485H5341H3915H31174I am no longer angry with the vineyard. If there were thorns and briers to fight against, I would burn them up completely.H2534H5414H8068H7898H4421H6585H6702H31625But if the enemies of my people want my protection, let them make peace with me. Yes, let them make peace with me."H2388H4581H6213H7965H6213H79656In the days to come the people of Israel, the descendants of Jacob, will take root like a tree, and they will blossom and bud. The earth will be covered with the fruit they produce.H935H3290H8327H3478H6692H6524H4390H6440H8398H85707Israel has not been punished by the LORD as severely as its enemies nor lost as many people.H5221H4347H5221H2026H2027H20268The LORD punished his people by sending them into exile. He took them away with a cruel wind from the east.H5432H7971H7378H1898H7186H7307H3117H69219But Israel's sins will be forgiven only when the stones of pagan altars are ground up like chalk, and no more incense altars or symbols of the goddess Asherah are left.H2063H5771H3290H3722H6529H5493H2403H7760H68H4196H1615H5310H842H2553H696510The fortified city lies in ruins. It is deserted like an empty wilderness. It has become a pasture for cattle, where they can rest and graze.H1219H5892H910H5116H7971H5800H4057H5695H7462H7257H3615H558511The branches of the trees are withered and broken, and women gather them for firewood. Because the people have understood nothing, God their Creator will not pity them or show them any mercy.H7105H3001H7665H802H935H215H5971H998H6213H7355H3335H260312On that day, from the Euphrates to the Egyptian border, the LORD will gather his people one by one, as threshing separates the wheat from the chaff.H3117H3068H2251H7641H5104H5158H4714H3950H259H259H1121H347813When that day comes, a trumpet will be blown to call back from Assyria and Egypt all the Israelites who are in exile there. They will come and worship the LORD in Jerusalem, on his sacred hill.H3117H1419H7782H8628H935H6H776H804H5080H776H4714H7812H3068H6944H2022H3389
Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
