2 I lifted up my eyes again, and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, so that I may see what its width is, and its length.”
3 And behold, the Angel that talked with me went forth. And another angel went out to meet him,
4 and said to him, “Run! Speak to this young man, and say, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it!
5 ‘For I,’ says the LORD, ‘will be to her a wall of fire all around and will be the Glory in the midst of her.
6 ‘Ho, ho! Come forth and flee from the land of the North!’ says the LORD, ‘for I have scattered you to the four winds of the heaven,’ says the LORD.
7 ‘Save yourself, O Zion, who dwells with the daughter of Babel!’
8 “For thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘After this glory he has sent Me to the nations which plundered you. For he who touches you, touches the apple of His Eye.
9 ‘For behold, I will lift up My Hand upon them. And they shall be a spoil to those who served them. And you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me.
10 ‘Rejoice and be glad, O daughter Zion! For lo, I come, and will dwell in the midst of you,’ says the LORD.
11 “And many nations shall be joined to the LORD on that day and shall be My people. And I will dwell in the midst of you. And you shall know that the LORD of Hosts has sent me to you.
12 “And the LORD shall inherit Judah, His portion, in the Holy Land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.
13 “Let all flesh be still before the LORD! For He is raised up out of His Holy Place!”
3 And he showed me Joshua the High Priest, standing before the Angel of the LORD. And Satan stood at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD reproves you, O Satan! The LORD, Who has chosen Jerusalem, reproves you! Is not this a brand taken out of the fire?”
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and stood before the Angel.
4 And He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “Behold, I have caused your iniquity to depart from you. And I will clothe you with a change of raiment.”
5 And I said, “Let them set a clean turban upon his head.” So, they set a clean turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the Angel of the LORD stood by.
6 And the Angel of the LORD testified to Joshua, saying,
7 “Thus says the LORD of Hosts: ‘If you will walk in My ways, and keep My watch, you shall also judge My House, and shall also keep My courts. And I will give you a place to walk among those who stand by.
8 ‘Hear now, O Joshua the High Priest, you and your friends who sit before you! For they are monstrous people. But behold, I will bring forth the Branch, My Servant.
9 ‘For lo, the stone that I have laid before Joshua, upon one stone shall be seven eyes. Behold, I will carve out its engraving,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘and I will take away the iniquity of this land in one day.
10 ‘On that day,’ says the LORD of Hosts, ‘each man shall call his neighbor under his vine, and under his fig tree.’”
13 And I saw a beast rise out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns. And upon his horns were ten crowns. And upon his head, the name of Blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like a leopard; and his feet like a bear; and his mouth as the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads (as it were) mortally wounded. But his deadly wound was healed. And all the world wondered and followed the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon, who gave power to the beast. And they worshipped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast!? Who is able to make war with him!?”
5 And there was given to him a mouth that spoke great things and blasphemies. And power was given to him lasting 42 months.
6 And he opened his mouth to blaspheme God; to blaspheme His Name and His Tabernacle and those who dwell in Heaven.
7 And it was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. And power was given to him over every tribe and tongue and nation.
8 Therefore, all who dwell upon the Earth whose names are not written in the Book of Life by the Lamb, Who was slain from the beginning of the world, shall worship him.
9 If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
10 “If anyone is led into captivity, he shall go into captivity. If anyone kills with a sword, he must be killed by a sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.”
11 And I beheld another beast coming out of the Earth which had two horns like the Lamb, but spoke like the dragon.
12 And he did all that the first beast could do before him. And he caused the Earth and those who dwell therein to worship the first beast (whose mortal wound was healed).
13 And he did great wonders; so that he made fire come down from Heaven on the Earth, in the sight of man.
14 And he deceived those who dwell on the Earth by the signs which were permitted to him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to those who dwell on the Earth that they should make the image of the beast, which had the wound of a sword and had lived.
15 And it was permitted to him to give a spirit to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast should speak and should cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.
16 And he made all - both small and great, rich and poor, free and enslaved - receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads;
17 so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark or the name of the beast or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom: Let him who has understanding count the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. And his number is 666.
141 O LORD, I call upon You! Hurry to me! Hear my voice when I cry to You!
2 Let my prayer be directed in Your sight as incense, the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.
4 Do not incline my heart to evil, so that I would commit wicked works with those who work iniquity; and do not let me eat of their delicacies.
5 Let the righteous strike me; for that is a benefit. And let him reprove me; it shall be as a precious oil that shall not break my head. For after a while, I shall even pray in their miseries.
6 When their judges are cast down in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet.
7 Our bones lie scattered at the grave’s mouth, as he who hews or digs in the earth.
8 But my eyes look to You, O LORD God. In You is my trust. Do not leave my soul destitute.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I escape. A Psalm of David, to give instruction; and a prayer when he was in the cave
18 There are three things hidden from me. Indeed, four that I do not know:
19 The way of an eagle in the air, the way of a serpent upon a stone, the way of a ship in the midst of the sea, and the way of a man with a maid.
20 Such is also the way of an adulterous woman. She eats and wipes her mouth, and says, “I have done no wickedness.”
