fight stand speak

Tyranny is never invincible.

(From a Hong Kong protester's sign.)

Lamb

For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, 

and he will guide them to springs of living water,

and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Revelation 7:17

Nations

After this I looked, 

and behold, 

a great multitude 

that no one could number,  

from every nation, 

from all tribes 

and peoples and languages, 

standing before the throne 

and before the Lamb, 

clothed in white robes, 

with palm branches in their hands, 

and crying out with a loud voice,

“Salvation belongs to our God who 

sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Revelation 7:9-10

Jesus

...his voice was like the roar of many waters.

Revelation 1:15

One 

word 

of 

truth 

shall 

outweigh 

the 

whole 

world

When?

For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 

And so we will be with the Lord forever.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

Fiddler

May God bless you and grant you long lives.

May the Lord fulfill our Sabbath prayer for you.

May God make you good mothers and wives.

May He send you husbands who will care for you.

May the Lord protect and defend you.

May the Lord preserve you  from pain.

Favor them, Oh Lord, with happiness and peace.

Oh, hear our Sabbath prayer. Amen.

Sabbath Prayer

Isaiah 60:17-18

Instead of bronze I will bring gold,

and instead of iron I will bring silver;

instead of wood, bronze,

instead of stones, iron.

I will make your overseers peace

and your taskmasters righteousness.

Violence shall no more be heard in your land,

devastation or destruction within your borders; 

You shall call your walls Salvation,

and your gates Praise.
