The Lord Guarantees Israel’s Continuance The LORD has made a promise to Israel. He promises it as the one who fixed the sun to give light by day and the moon and stars to give light by night. He promises it as the one who stirs up the sea so that its waves roll. His name is the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

Jerusalem Will Be Enlarged“Indeed a time is coming,” says the LORD,“when the city of Jerusalem will be rebuilt as my special city. It will be built from the Tower of Hananel westward to the Corner Gate.
The boundary line will extend beyond that, straight west from there to the Hill of Gareb and then turn southward to Goah.
The whole valley where dead bodies and sacrificial ashes are thrown and all the terraced fields out to the Kidron Valley on the east as far north as the corner of the Horse Gate will be included within this city that is sacred to the LORD. The city will never again be torn down or destroyed.”
