Friends & Foes:
Gentiles united with Restored Israel
Is 2:2,3
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house
shall be established on the top of the mountains,
and shall be raised above the hills;
and all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many peoples shall go and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion the law shall go forth,
and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem.
Is 14:1
For Yahweh will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set
them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will
unite with the house of Jacob.
Is 55:5
Behold, you shall call a nation that you don’t know; and a nation that
didn’t know you shall run to you, because of Yahweh your God, and for the Holy
One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
Is 60:3-7,10-12,14
3 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather themselves together,
they come to you; your sons shall come from far, and your daughters shall be
carried in the arms.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be
enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of
the nations shall come to you.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover you, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah;
all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and
shall proclaim the praises of Yahweh.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you, the rams of
Nebaioth shall minister to you; they shall come up with acceptance on my altar;
and I will glorify the house of my glory.
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you:
for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor
night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led
captive.
12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish; yes, those
nations shall be utterly wasted.
14 The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those
who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they
shall call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Is 61:5
Strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners shall be your plowmen
and your vinedressers.

At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh; and all the nations
shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem: neither shall they
walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.
Ezk 47:22,23
22 It shall happen, that you shall divide it by lot for an inheritance to you
and to the strangers who sojourn among you, who shall father children
among you; and they shall be to you as the native-born among the children of
Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 It shall happen, that in what tribe the stranger sojourns, there you shall
give him his inheritance, says the Lord Yahweh.
Mc 4:1,2
1 But in the latter days,
it will happen that the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be
established on the top of the mountains,
and it will be exalted above the hills;
and peoples will stream to it.
2 Many nations will go and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
and to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion will go forth the law,
and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;
Zc 2:11
Many nations shall join themselves to Yahweh in that day, and shall be my
people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know that Yahweh of
Armies has sent me to you.
Zc 6:15
Those who are far off shall come and build in the temple of Yahweh; and you
shall know that Yahweh of Armies has sent me to you. This will happen, if you
will diligently obey the voice of Yahweh your God.”’”
Zc 8:22,23
22 many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in
Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of
all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is
a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with
you.’”
Zc 14:16
It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against
Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies,
and to keep the feast of tents.
