FIRST READING

Jeremiah 30:18-24

Verse 18. This is what the LORD says: “I will restore the fortunes of Jacob’s tents and have compassion on his dwellings. And the city will be rebuilt on her own ruins, and the palace will stand in its rightful place. Verse 19. Thanksgiving will proceed from them, a sound of celebration. I will multiply them, and they will not be decreased; I will honor them, and they will not be belittled. Verse 20. Their children will be as in days of old, and their congregation will be established before Me; and I will punish all their oppressors. Verse 21. Their leader will be one of their own, and their ruler will arise from their midst. And I will bring him near, and he will approach Me, for who would dare on his own to approach Me?” Verse 22. “And you will be My people, and I will be your God.” Verse 23. Behold, the storm of the LORD has gone out with fury, a whirlwind swirling down upon the heads of the wicked. Verse 24. The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has fully accomplished the purposes of His heart. In the days to come you will understand this.

PSALM

Complementary (Track 2)

FIRST READING

Isaiah 33:17-22

Verse 17. Your eyes will see the King in His beauty and behold a land that stretches afar. Verse 18. Your mind will ponder the former terror: “Where is he who tallies? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the towers?” Verse 19. You will no longer see the insolent, a people whose speech is unintelligible, who stammer in a language you cannot understand. Verse 20. Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts. Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a peaceful pasture, a tent that does not wander; its tent pegs will not be pulled up, nor will any of its cords be broken. Verse 21. But there the Majestic One, our LORD, will be for us a place of rivers and wide canals, where no galley with oars will row, and no majestic vessel will pass. Verse 22. For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our lawgiver, the LORD is our King. It is He who will save us.

SECOND READING

Revelation 22:8-21

Verse 8. And I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown me these things. Verse 9. But he said to me, “Do not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!” Verse 10. Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near. Verse 11. Let the unrighteous continue to be unrighteous, and the vile continue to be vile; let the righteous continue to practice righteousness, and the holy continue to be holy.” Verse 12. “Behold, I am coming soon, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. Verse 13. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Verse 14. Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates. Verse 15. But outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. Verse 16. “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star.” Verse 17. The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let the one who hears say, “Come!” And let the one who is thirsty come, and the one who desires the water of life drink freely. Verse 18. I testify to everyone who hears the words of prophecy in this book: If anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. Verse 19. And if anyone takes away from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and the holy city, which are described in this book. Verse 20. He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! Verse 21. The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
