TO WHAT PURPOSE COMETH THERE TO ME INCENSE FROM SHEBA

By SQ -


TO WHAT PURPOSE
COMETH THERE
TO ME INCENSE FROM SHEBA,
AND
THE SWEET CANE FROM
A FAR COUNTRY?
YOUR BURNT OFFERINGS
ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE,
NOR YOUR SACRIFICES
SWEET UNTO ME.
THEREFORE THUS SAITH
THE LORD, BEHOLD, 
I WILL LAY STUMBLING
BLOCKS BEFORE
THIS PEOPLE,
AND
THE FATHERS
 AND 
 THE SONS
TOGETHER SHALL FALL
 UPON THEM;
THE NEIGHBOUR AND HIS FRIEND
SHALL PERISH.
THUS SAITH THE LORD,
BEHOLD, A PEOPLE COMETH
FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY,
AND
A GREAT NATION SHALL
BE RAISED FROM
THE SIDES OF THE EARTH.
THEY SHALL LAY
HOLD ON BOW AND SPEAR;
THEY ARE CRUEL,
AND HAVE NO MERCY;
THEIR VOICE ROARETH
LIKE THE SEA;
AND 
THEY RIDE UPON HORSES,
SET IN ARRAY AS MEN
FOR WAR AGAINST THEE,
O DAUGHTER OF ZION.
WE HAVE HEARD
THE FAME THEREOF:
OUR HANDS WAX FEEBLE:
ANGUISH HATH 
TAKEN HOLD OF US,
AND PAIN,
 AS OF A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL.
GO NOT FORTH INTO THE FIELD,
NOR WALK BY THE WAY;
 FOR 
THE SWORD
 OF 
 THE
ENEMY AND FEAR
IS ON EVERY SIDE.
O DAUGHTER OF MY PEOPLE,
GIRD THEE WITH SACKCLOTH,
AND
WALLOW THYSELF IN ASHES:
MAKE THEE MOURNING,
AS FOR AN ONLY SON,
MOST BITTER LAMENTATION:
 FOR THE SPOILER
SHALL SUDDENLY COME UPON US.

 

LOVE

REVELATION 3:10-12 BECAUSE  THOU HAST KEPT  THE  WORD OF MY PATIENCE,   I WILL KEEP THEE  FROM  THE HOUR OF TEMPTATION,  WHICH SHALL COME  UPON ALL THE WORLD,  TO TRY THEM  THAT DWELL  UPON THE EARTH.  BEHOLD,  I COME QUICKLY:   HOLD THAT FAST  WHICH THOU HAST,  THAT NO MAN  TAKE THY CROWN.   HIM THAT OVERCOMETH WILL I MAKE A PILLAR IN THE TEMPLE OF MY GOD, AND HE SHALL GO NO MORE OUT:   AND  I WILL  WRITE UPON HIM  THE NAME OF MY GOD,  AND  THE NAME OF THE CITY  OF MY GOD,  WHICH IS  NEW JERUSALEM,  WHICH COMETH  DOWN OUT OF HEAVEN  FROM MY GOD:  AND  I WILL  WRITE UPON HIM  MY NEW NAME.  LOVE

HE MAKETH WARS TO CEASE

PSALMS 46:1-11 GOD  IS OUR REFUGE AND STRENGTH, A VERY PRESENT HELP   IN TROUBLE. THEREFORE WILL WE NOT FEAR, THOUGH THE EARTH BE REMOVED, AND THOUGH  THE MOUNTAINS BE CARRIED INTO THE MIDST OF THE SEA; THOUGH THE WATERS THEREOF ROAR AND BE TROUBLED, THOUGH THE MOUNTAINS SHAKE WITH THE SWELLING THEREOF SELAH. THERE IS A RIVER, THE  STREAMS WHEREOF SHALL MAKE GLAD THE CITY OF GOD, THE HOLY PLACE OF THE TABERNACLES OF THE MOST HIGH. GOD IS IN THE MIDST OF HER; SHE SHALL NOT BE MOVED: GOD SHALL HELP HER, AND THAT RIGHT EARLY. THE HEATHEN RAGED, THE KINGDOMS  WERE MOVED: HE UTTERED HIS VOICE, THE EARTH MELTED. THE LORD OF HOST IS WITH US; THE GOD OF JACOB  IS  OUR REFUGE.  SELAH   COME,  BEHOLD  THE WORKS OF THE LORD, WHAT DESOLATIONS  HE HATH  MADE IN THE EARTH. HE MAKETH WARS TO CEASE UNTO THE END OF THE EARTH; HE BREAKETH  THE BOW, ...

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF. BY FAITH  JOSEPH,  WHEN HE DIED, MADE MENTION  of the departing of the children of Israel; and  GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES. BY FAITH MOSES WHEN HE WAS BORN,  was hid three months of his parents,  because they saw he was A PROPER CHILD;  and they were NOT AFRAID of the king's commandment. BY FAIT...
