A Sabbath Promise


The time is coming when I will gather together all nations and languages.
They will come and see my glory, and I will give them a sign.
I will send some of their survivors to the nations of Tarshish, Pul, Lud, Tuval, Greece and more distant coasts, where they've never heard of my fame or glory.
They will proclaim my glory in these nations;
and they will bring your family out from the gentiles as an offering to the Lord.
On horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, on camels -
Bringing them to my holy mountain in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem),
Just as the people of Isra'el themselves bring their offerings
in clean vessels to the house of Adonai.
I will also take cohanim (priests) and L'vi'im (Levites) from these,"
says the Master.
"For just as the new heavens and the new earth that I am making will continue in my presence," says the Master,
"So will your descendants and your name continue. "
Every month on Rosh-Hodesh (new moon) and every week on Shabbat,
everyone living will come to worship in my presence,"
says the Master.
-Isaiah 66
