Habakkuk 3:3-6 God himself proceeded to come from Teman, even a Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His dignity covered [the] heavens; and with his praise the earth became filled.
As for [his] brightness, it got to be just like the light. He had two rays [issuing] out of his hand, and there the hiding of his strength was.
Before him pestilence kept going, and burning fever would go forth at his feet. He stood still, that he might shake up [the] earth. He saw, and then caused nations to leap. And the eternal mountains got to be smashed; the indefinitely lasting hills bowed down. The walkings of long ago are his.
Zephaniah 3:8-9 Therefore keep yourselves in expectation of me,’ is the utterance of Jehovah, ‘till the day of my rising up to [the] booty,
for my judicial decision is to gather nations, for me to collect together kingdoms, in order to pour out upon them my denunciation, all my burning anger; for by the fire of my zeal all the earth will be devoured.
For then I shall give to peoples the change to a pure language, in order for them all to call upon the name of Jehovah, in order to serve him shoulder to shoulder.
Zephaniah 3:10-13 From the region of the rivers of Ethiopia the ones entreating me, [namely,] the daughter of my scattered ones, will bring a gift to me.
In that day you will not be ashamed because of all your dealings with which you transgressed against me,
for then I shall remove from the midst of you your haughtily exultant ones; and you will never again be haughty in my holy mountain.
And I shall certainly let remain in the midst of you a people humble and lowly, and they will actually take refuge in the name of Jehovah.
As regards the remaining ones of Israel, they will do no unrighteousness, nor speak a lie, nor will there be found in their mouths a tricky tongue;
for they themselves will feed and actually lie stretched out, and there will be no one making [them] tremble.
Daniel 11:33-35 And as regards those having insight among the people, they will impart understanding to the many.
And they will certainly be made to stumble by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plundering, for [some] days.
But when they are made to stumble they will be helped with a little help;
and many will certainly join themselves to them by means of smoothness.
And some of those having insight will be made to stumble, in order to do a refining work because of them and to do a cleansing and to do a whitening,
until the time of [the] end; because it is yet for the time appointed.
Daniel 12:1-2 And during that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book. And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence.
Daniel 12:3-4 And the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse; and those who are bringing the many to righteousness, like the stars to time indefinite, even forever. And as for you, O Daniel, make secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of [the] end. Many will rove about, and the [true] knowledge will become abundant.
Daniel 12:9-13 And he went on to say: Go, Daniel, because the words are made secret and sealed up until the time of [the] end.
Many will cleanse themselves and whiten themselves and will be refined. And the wicked ones will certainly act wickedly, and no wicked ones at all will understand;
but the ones having insight will understand. And from the time that the constant [feature] has been removed and there has been a placing of the disgusting thing that is causing desolation,
there will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!
And as for you yourself, go toward the end; and you will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days.
Revelation 7:13-17 And in response one of the elders said to me: These who are dressed in the white robes, who are they and where did they come from? So right away I said to him: “My lord, you are the one that knows. And he said to me:
These are the ones that come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. That is why they are before the throne of God; and they are rendering him sacred service day and night in his temple;
and the One seated on the throne will spread his tent over them. They will hunger no more nor thirst anymore, neither will the sun beat down upon them nor any scorching heat, because the Lamb, who is in the midst of the throne, will shepherd them, and will guide them to fountains of waters of life. And God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.
Revelation 11:15 And the seventh angel blew his trumpet. And loud voices occurred in heaven, saying:
The kingdom of the world did become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will rule as king forever and ever.
Revelation 11:16-18 And the twenty-four elders who were seated before God upon their thrones fell upon their faces and worshiped God, saying: We thank you, Jehovah God, the Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun ruling as king.
But the nations became wrathful, and your own wrath came, and the appointed time for the dead to be judged,
and to give [their] reward to your slaves the prophets and to the holy ones and to those fearing your name, the small and the great,
and to bring to ruin those ruining the earth.
Revelation 12:10 Now have come to pass the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ, because the accuser of our brothers has been hurled down, who accuses them day and night before our God!.
Revelation 16:8-9 And the fourth one poured out his bowl upon the sun; and to [the sun] it was granted to scorch the men with fire. And the men were scorched with great heat, but they blasphemed the name of God, who has the authority over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give glory to him.
Revelation 18:9-10 And the kings of the earth who committed fornication with her and lived in shameless luxury will weep and beat themselves in grief over her, when they look at the smoke from the burning of her, while they stand at a distance because of their fear of her torment and say, ‘Too bad, too bad, you great city, Babylon you strong city, because in one hour your judgement has arrived!
Also, the traveling merchants of the earth are weeping and mourning over her, because there is no one to buy their full stock anymore
Revelation 18:19-20 And they threw dust upon their heads and cried out, weeping and mourning, and said, ‘Too bad, too bad—the great city, in which all those having boats at sea became rich by reason of her costliness, because in one hour she has been devastated!’ Be glad over her, O heaven, also you holy ones and you apostles and you prophets, because God has judicially exacted punishment for you from her!”
Revelation 18:21-24 And a strong angel lifted up a stone like a great millstone and hurled it into the sea, saying: Thus with a swift pitch will Babylon the great city be hurled down, and she will never be found again. And the sound of singers who accompany themselves on the harp and of musicians and of flutists and of trumpeters will never be heard in you again, and no craftsman of any trade will ever be found in you again, and no sound of a millstone will ever be heard in you again, and no light of a lamp will ever shine in you again, and no voice of a bridegroom and of a bride will ever be heard in you again; because your traveling merchants were the top-ranking men of the earth, for by your spiritistic practice all the nations were misled. Yes, in her was found the blood of prophets and of holy ones and of all those who have been slaughtered on the earth.
Revelation 19:7-8 Let us rejoice and be overjoyed, and let us give him the glory, because the marriage of the Lamb has arrived and his wife has prepared herself. Yes, it has been granted to her to be arrayed in bright, clean, fine linen, for the fine linen stands for the righteous acts of the holy ones.
Revelation 19:9 And he tells me: Write: Happy are those invited to the evening meal of the Lamb’s marriage. Also, he tells me: “These are the true sayings of God. NWT
