Israel will be saved, as it is written, “The
Deliverer will come from Zion, he will
banish ungodliness from Jacob.”

have washed their robes and made them
white in the blood of the Lamb.”

and the kindness of our God!

Therefore let us be grateful for receiving a
kingdom that cannot be shaken, and
thus let us offer to God acceptable
worship, with reverence and awe,for our
God is a consuming fire!
