Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, But he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. God showed His prophets what He was going to do. We have His revelation of what He would do. You do not have to guess or speculate about what God would do. He tells us. Actually, […]

Hosea 2:14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, And bring her into the wilderness, And speak comfortably unto her. 15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, And the valley of Achor for a door of hope: And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, And as in the […]

Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. We are all going to die. We are all going to awake. You will not cease to exist. You will exist from now till forever. Some will die […]

Ezekiel 45:9 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.

Ezekiel 37:28 And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore. God has big plans for Israel. Israel is relatively powerless in the scope of world powers, but God will do big things with them. He will build His temple […]

Ezekiel 36:24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land. God has special promises for the nation of Israel. She will come back to her land. God will take her from among all the other nations and countries. He […]

Ezekiel 28:17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee. Most Bible students believe these verses refer to the origin of Satan. He was lifted up […]

Ezekiel 24:18 So I spake unto the people in the morning: and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded. Ezekiel’s wife died. He had preached that morning. He continued doing the Lord’s work even the next day. He didn’t let anything hinder him from doing what he […]

Ezekiel 18:23 Have I any pleasure at all that the wicked should die? saith the Lord GOD: and not that he should return from his ways, and live? God doesn’t want anyone to die or to be destroyed. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. He wants to see them return to […]

Ezekiel 12:25 For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. God often is patient with His people and […]

Ezekiel 2:6 And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house. As the young preacher stands to […]

Lamentations 2:19 Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches Pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: Lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, That faint for hunger in the top of every street. God’s people ought to be crying […]

Jeremiah 50:31 Behold, I am against thee, O thou most proud, Saith the Lord GOD of hosts: For thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee. It is only a matter of time. God will not allow you to live in your pride and rebellion. You cannot escape the consequences of your […]

Jeremiah 44:22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day. There is no way you can continue to do wrong […]

Jeremiah 32:23 And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law; they have done nothing of all that thou commandedst them to do: therefore thou hast caused all this evil to come upon them: God had been kind to His people. He had brought them into […]

Jeremiah 30:22 And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God. God’s people had walked away. They had worshipped false gods, idols. They did not love Him, and He was not happy with them. He promised that a day was coming when He would be their God once again. They would be […]

Jeremiah 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. There are preachers, prophets, and priests who are preaching everywhere that God didn’t send. God never spoke to them. God never sent them. They are fakes. They are self-sent, or demon delivered. As hard as […]

Jeremiah 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, And be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; For the heathen are dismayed at them. Often lost people study the stars to find their destiny. They think that their planets and stars can align just right. That is what those that […]

Jeremiah 2:28 But where are thy gods that thou hast made thee? let them arise, if they can save thee in the time of thy trouble: for according to the number of thy cities are thy gods, O Judah. God’s people were in trouble. They needed help. When they call on God, He reminds them […]

Isaiah 30:21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, When ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left. We do not need to be knocked in the head to know God’s will. He will speak to us quietly. He […]

Isaiah 26:16 LORD, In trouble have they visited thee, They poured out a prayer when thy chastening was upon them. People are so funny. They often will not seek God unless they are in trouble. They need to be at a breaking point. They need to be in a crisis in their lives. Isaiah says […]

Isaiah 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; Their young ones shall lie down together: And the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, And the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. 9 They shall not […]

Isaiah 2:22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: For wherein is he to be accounted of? Stop looking to men. What are men or women that you should look up to them so much? They are going to die. They are not eternal. God is eternal and trustworthy. Isaiah says you […]

Song of Solomon 8:4 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please. Think about how the one you love is feeling. Let him get all the sleep that he wants. Be quiet. Do not disturb him. This is a pretty picture of a woman’s […]
