Saturday in Easter

7Verse 7. “Are you not like the Cushites to Me, O children of Israel?” “Did I not bring Israel up from the land of Egypt, the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Arameans from Kir? 8Verse 8. Surely the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth. Yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob,” 9Verse 9. “For surely I will give the command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations as grain is sifted in a sieve; but not a pebble will reach the ground. 10Verse 10. All the sinners among My people will die by the sword — all those who say, ‘Disaster will never draw near or confront us.’” 11Verse 11. “In that day I will restore the fallen tent of David. I will repair its gaps, restore its ruins, and rebuild it as in the days of old, 12Verse 12. that they may possess the remnant of Edom and all the nations that bear My name,” 13Verse 13. “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when the plowman will overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes, the sower of seed. The mountains will drip with sweet wine, with which all the hills will flow. 14Verse 14. I will restore My people Israel from captivity; they will rebuild and inhabit the ruined cities. They will plant vineyards and drink their wine; they will make gardens and eat their fruit. 15Verse 15. I will firmly plant them in their own land, never again to be uprooted from the land that I have given them,”

30Verse 30. Then He asked, “To what can we compare the kingdom of God? With what parable shall we present it? 31Verse 31. It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds sown upon the earth. 32Verse 32. But after it is planted, it grows to be the largest of all garden plants and puts forth great branches, so that the birds of the air nest in its shade.”
