Genesis 49:10
(English-NIV)
The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler's staff from
between
his feet, until he comes to whom it belongs and the obedience of the
nations
is his.
Job 19:25
(English-NIV)
I know that my Redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand upon
the
earth.
Isaiah 11:2-10
(English-NIV)2
The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of
understanding,
the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the
fear of the LORD--3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD.
He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he
hears
with his ears; 4 but with righteousness he will judge the
needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will
strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips
he will slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness will be his belt and
faithfulness
the sash around his waist. 6 The wolf will live with the lamb,
the
leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the
yearling
[1] together; and a little child will lead them. 7 The cow will
feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion
will
eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the hole of
the
cobra, and the young child put his hand into the viper's nest. 9
They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the
earth
will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. 10
In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner
for the
peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his place of rest will be
glorious.
Daniel 7:13
(English-NIV)
"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son
of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of
Days and was led into his presence.
Zechariah 3:8
(English-NIV)
"`Listen, O high priest Joshua and your associates seated before you,
who
are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the
Branch.
Malachi 3:1-3
(English-NIV)
1 "See, I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before
me.
Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the
messenger
of the covenant, whom you desire, will come," says the LORD Almighty. 2
But who can endure the day of his coming? Who can stand when he
appears?
For he will be like a refiner's fire or a launderer's soap. 3
He
will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver; he will purify the
Levites
and refine them like gold and silver. Then the LORD will have men who
will
bring offerings in righteousness,
Luke 1:26-37
(English-NIV)26
In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in
Galilee, 27 to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named
Joseph, a descendant
of David. The virgin's name was Mary. 28 The angel went to her
and
said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you." 29
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of
greeting
this might be. 30 But the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid,
Mary, you have found favor with God. 31 You will be with child
and
give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. 32
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord
God will give him the throne of his father David, 33 and he
will
reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end." 34
"How will this be," Mary asked the angel, "since I am a virgin?" 35
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power
of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will
be
called the Son of God. 36 Even Elizabeth your relative is going
to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in
her sixth month. 37 For nothing is impossible with God."
Revelation
19:11-16
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white
horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and
makes
war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are
many
crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of
God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on
white horses
and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth
comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will
rule
them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the
wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has
this
name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
