Joel 2:21-27

21 Don’t be afraid, O land.

Be glad now and rejoice,

for the Lord has done great things.

22 Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field,

for the wilderness pastures will soon be green.

The trees will again be filled with fruit;

fig trees and grapevines will be loaded down once more.

23 Rejoice, you people of Jerusalem!

Rejoice in the Lord your God!

For the rain he sends demonstrates his faithfulness.

Once more the autumn rains will come,

as well as the rains of spring.

24 The threshing floors will again be piled high with grain,

and the presses will overflow with new wine and olive oil.

25 The Lord says, “I will give you back what you lost

to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts,

the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts.

It was I who sent this great destroying army against you.

26 Once again you will have all the food you want,

and you will praise the Lord your God,

who does these miracles for you.

Never again will my people be disgraced.

27 Then you will know that I am among my people Israel,

that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other.

Never again will my people be disgraced.

Ezekiel 37:1-14

1 The Lord took hold of me, and I was carried away by the Spirit of

the Lord to a valley filled with bones. 2 He led me all around

among the bones that covered the valley floor. They were

scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely

dried out. 3 Then he asked me, “Son of man, can these bones

become living people again?”

“O Sovereign Lord,” I replied, “you alone know the answer to

that.”

4 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to these bones

and say, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! 5 This is what

the Sovereign Lord says: Look! I am going to put breath into you

and make you live again! 6 I will put flesh and muscles on you and

cover you with skin. I will put breath into you, and you will come to

life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’”

7 So I spoke this message, just as he told me. Suddenly as I

spoke, there was a rattling noise all across the valley. The bones

of each body came together and attached themselves as

complete skeletons. 8 Then as I watched, muscles and flesh

formed over the bones. Then skin formed to cover their bodies,

but they still had no breath in them.

9 Then he said to me, “Speak a prophetic message to the winds,

son of man. Speak a prophetic message and say, ‘This is what

the Sovereign Lord says: Come, O breath, from the four winds!

Breathe into these dead bodies so they may live again.’”

10 So I spoke the message as he commanded me, and breath

came into their bodies. They all came to life and stood up on their

feet—a great army.

11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones represent the

people of Israel. They are saying, ‘We have become old, dry

bones—all hope is gone. Our nation is finished.’ 12 Therefore,

prophesy to them and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says:

O my people, I will open your graves of exile and cause you to

rise again. Then I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 When

this happens, O my people, you will know that I am the Lord. 14 I

will put my Spirit in you, and you will live again and return home to

your own land. Then you will know that I, the Lord, have spoken,

and I have done what I said. Yes, the Lord has spoken!’”

1 Peter 1:3-9

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his

great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised

Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great

expectation, 4 and we have a priceless inheritance—an

inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled,

beyond the reach of change and decay. 5 And through your faith,

God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation,

which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see.

6 So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you

must endure many trials for a little while. 7 These trials will show

that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and

purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere

gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will

bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when

Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world.

8 You love him even though you have never seen him. Though

you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a

glorious, inexpressible joy. 9 The reward for trusting him will be the

salvation of your souls.

Revelation 19:1-8

1 After this, I heard what sounded like a vast crowd in heaven

shouting,

“Praise the Lord!

Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.

2 His judgments are true and just.

He has punished the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth with her immorality.

He has avenged the murder of his servants.”

3 And again their voices rang out:

“Praise the Lord!

The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever!”

4 Then the twenty-four elders and the four living beings fell down

and worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried

out, “Amen! Praise the Lord!”

5 And from the throne came a voice that said,

“Praise our God,

all his servants,

all who fear him,

from the least to the greatest.”

6 Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a vast crowd

or the roar of mighty ocean waves or the crash of loud thunder:

“Praise the Lord!

For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

7 Let us be glad and rejoice,

and let us give honor to him.

For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb,

and his bride has prepared herself.

8 She has been given the finest of pure white linen to wear.”

For the fine linen represents the good deeds of God’s holy

people.

Jeremiah 29:1-14

1 Jeremiah wrote a letter from Jerusalem to the elders, priests,

prophets, and all the people who had been exiled to Babylon by

King Nebuchadnezzar. 2 This was after King Jehoiachin, the

queen mother, the court officials, the other officials of Judah, and

all the craftsmen and artisans had been deported from

Jerusalem. 3 He sent the letter with Elasah son of Shaphan and

Gemariah son of Hilkiah when they went to Babylon as King

Zedekiah’s ambassadors to Nebuchadnezzar. This is what

Jeremiah’s letter said:

4 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says

to all the captives he has exiled to Babylon from

Jerusalem: 5 “Build homes, and plan to stay. Plant gardens, and

eat the food they produce. 6 Marry and have children. Then find

spouses for them so that you may have many grandchildren.

Multiply! Do not dwindle away! 7 And work for the peace and

prosperity of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to

the Lord for it, for its welfare will determine your welfare.”

8 This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel,

says: “Do not let your prophets and fortune-tellers who are with

you in the land of Babylon trick you. Do not listen to their

dreams, 9 because they are telling you lies in my name. I have not

sent them,” says the Lord.

10 This is what the Lord says: “You will be in Babylon for seventy

years. But then I will come and do for you all the good things I

have promised, and I will bring you home again. 11 For I know the

plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and

not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope. 12 In those days

when you pray, I will listen. 13 If you look for me wholeheartedly,

you will find me. 14 I will be found by you,” says the Lord. “I will end

your captivity and restore your fortunes. I will gather you out of the

nations where I sent you and will bring you home again to your

own land.”

Isaiah 43:14-21

14 This is what the Lord says—your Redeemer, the Holy One of

Israel:

“For your sakes I will send an army against Babylon,

forcing the Babylonians to flee in those ships they are so proud

of.

15 I am the Lord, your Holy One,

Israel’s Creator and King.

16 I am the Lord, who opened a way through the waters,

making a dry path through the sea.

17 I called forth the mighty army of Egypt

with all its chariots and horses.

I drew them beneath the waves, and they drowned,

their lives snuffed out like a smoldering candlewick.

18 “But forget all that—

it is nothing compared to what I am going to do.

19 For I am about to do something new.

See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?

I will make a pathway through the wilderness.

I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.

20 The wild animals in the fields will thank me,

the jackals and owls, too,

for giving them water in the desert.

Yes, I will make rivers in the dry wasteland

so my chosen people can be refreshed.

21 I have made Israel for myself,

and they will someday honor me before the whole world.

Romans 8:18-25

18 Yet what we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will

reveal to us later. 19 For all creation is waiting eagerly for that

future day when God will reveal who his children really

are. 20 Against its will, all creation was subjected to God’s curse.

But with eager hope, 21 the creation looks forward to the day when

it will join God’s children in glorious freedom from death and

decay. 22 For we know that all creation has been groaning as in

the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 And we

believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within

us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be

released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for

the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted

children, including the new bodies he has promised us. 24 We were

given this hope when we were saved. (If we already have

something, we don’t need to hope for it. 25 But if we look forward to

something we don’t yet have, we must wait patiently and

confidently.)

Revelation 21:1-5

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven

and the old earth had disappeared. And the sea was also

gone. 2 And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down

from God out of heaven like a bride beautifully dressed for her

husband.

3 I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home

is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be

his people. God himself will be with them. 4 He will wipe every tear

from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or

crying or pain. All these things are gone forever.”

5 And the one sitting on the throne said, “Look, I am making

everything new!” And then he said to me, “Write this down, for

what I tell you is trustworthy and true.
