… …as Oneas One

In [Isaiah’s] days the sun went backward, and he lengthened the life of the king. By the spirit of might he saw the last things, and comforted those who mourned in Zion. He revealed what was to occur to the end of time, and the hidden things before they came to pass. . . .

[Babylon] made [Jerusalem’s] streets desolate, according to the word of Jeremiah. For they had afflicted him; yet he had been consecrated in the womb as prophet, to pluck up and afflict and destroy, and likewise to build and to plant. It was Ezekiel who saw the vision of glory which God showed him above the chariot of the cherubim. For God remembered his enemies with storm, and did good to those who directed their ways aright. May the bones of the twelve prophets revive from where they lie, for they comforted the people of Jacob and delivered them with confident hope.

“I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.”

(Isa 38:6)

“The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your fathers have

stored up until this day, will be carried off to

Babylon. Nothing will be left, says the LORD.”

(Isa 39:6)

Isaiah


Jeremiah

BEFORE 586"Behold, I set before

you the way of life and the way of death. He who dwells in this city will die by the sword

and by famine and by pestilence; but he who goes out and falls away to the Chaldeans who are besieging you will live, and he will have his own life as booty. For I have set My face

against this city for harm and not for good," declares the LORD. “It will be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will burn it with fire.” (Jer

21:8-10)

AFTER 586“If you will indeed stay in this land, then I will build you up and not tear you

down, and I will plant you and not uproot you; for I shall relent concerning the calamity that I have inflicted on you. Do not be afraid of the king of Babylon, whom you are now fearing; do not be afraid of him,” declares the LORD, “for I am with

you to save you and deliver you from his

hand. I will also show you compassion, so that he will have compassion on you and restore you to

your own soil. But if you…

AFTER 586 (cont…)…are going to say, ‘We

will not stay in this land,’ so as not to listen to the voice of the LORD your

God, saying, ‘No, but we will go to the land of

Egypt, where we shall not see war or hear the

sound of a trumpet or hunger for bread, and we will stay there’; then in that case listen to the word of the LORD, O

remnant of Judah. Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, ‘If you really set your mind to

enter Egypt, and go in to reside there, then it will…

AFTER 586 (cont…)…come about that the sword, which you are afraid of will overtake

you there in the land of Egypt; and the famine, about which you are anxious, will follow

closely after you there in Egypt; and you will die

there. So all the men who set their mind to go to

Egypt to reside there will die by the sword, by

famine, and by pestilence; and they will

have no survivors or refugees from the

calamity that I am going to bring on them.’ For thus says the LORD of

hosts, the God of Israel, ‘As My…

AFTER 586 (cont…)…anger and wrath have been poured out on the

inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be

poured out on you when you enter Egypt. And you will become a curse, an

object of horror, an imprecation, and a

reproach; and you will see this place no more.’ The LORD has spoken to you, O remnant of Judah, ‘Do not go into Egypt!’

You should clearly understand that today I have testified against you.” (Jer 42:10-19)

“As the wood of the vine among the trees of the forest, which I have given to the fire for fuel, so have I given up the

inhabitants of Jerusalem” (Ezek 15:6)“Although I have cast

them far off among the Gentiles, and although I

have scattered them among the countries, yet

I shall be a little sanctuary for them in

the countries where they have gone…I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the

countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.” (Ezek
