| 4 Say to those who are afraid: “Have courage, do not fear. See, your God comes, demanding justice. He is the God who rewards, the God who comes to save you.” 5 Then will the eyes of the blind be opened and the ears of the deaf unsealed. 6 Then will the lame leap as a hart and the tongue of the dumb sing and shout. For water will break out in the wilderness and streams gush forth from the desert. 7 The thirsty ground will become a pool, the arid land springs of water. In the haunts where once reptiles lay, grass will grow with reeds and rushes. | 8 There will be a highway which will be called The Way of Holiness; no one unclean will pass over it nor any wicked fool stray there. 9 No lion will be found there nor any beast of prey. Only the redeemed will walk there. 10 For the ransomed of Yahweh will return: with everlasting joy upon their heads, they will come to Zion singing, gladness and joy marching with them, while sorrow and sighing flee away. |
This is what I AM about to do. Take careful note of all the myriad ways in which I, the Living God, will come to the aid of my little ones, just as those you love have done so and have thrown themselves upon My mercy, trusting only in Me. They know that when they have Me, they need nothing and no one else. Pay close attention to what I now reveal, what I AM about to do for those whom I have claimed for Myself not just in time but eternally. I, the Lord, your God, will come like a Bridegroom riding the dawn. I will come with glory, might, and power. I will crush, defeat, and annihilate the Enemy and those ruled by him. I will snatch, from the jaws of the wolves, My ewes and My little lambs. I will heal them, and I will feed them. I will wash away all their iniquities and cleanse them from every sin. Not a single one whom the Father has entrusted to Me will be lost. I Myself will go out and seek them. I will fight triumphantly on their behalf. I will make their enemies a thing of scorn. No hand or weapon raised against those who are called by My Name will prosper. No longer will they be thought of as weak things with no one to defend or champion them. I will give them a seat among the people of God. Those who look at them will marvel at the power of the One who has set Himself beside them to fight for them. I, the Mighty Warrior, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, have raised My mighty Hand to vanquish and destroy every evil plan and plot against them, and I will make a level ground for them to walk in safety and freedom, destroying every and all the traps set to ensnare them by the friends of evil.
