Word 14/10/08 "I am with you"

This morning the Lord stirred me to read Zechariah 14. With attention to the following verses:-

Zechariah 14
6And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

Then the Lord had me read Revelation 21 with attention to the following verses:-

Revelation 21
1And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
2And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
3And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
4And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.
6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

The Lord gave this word:-

"Endure unto the end, hold fast that no man may take your crown. I have a place prepared for My own, I have a place for you. I the Lord do love you, My own, you who have sought after me in truth, I am your God and you are My people. Though through your trials do you grow weary, I bring joy and rejoicing in the morning. I control all things therefore have confidence in your God. My Spirit is the way to truth, follow Me, there will be no error, there will be no death, there will be no weeping. I am the Lord your God, I am for you My people. I will never leave you or forsake you. Be in Me, look to Me, I will strengthen what needs to be strengthened I will cast out what needs to be cast out. As the Master Potter hold on to Me let me have My perfect work on you, let Me show you the way. My plans for you did I have before the foundations of the world, no good thing is hidden from My own. The kingdom for the sons of God awaits you Me people, hold fast and endure unto the end. I am with you My people, even unto the end."

John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Revelation 3
12Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name.

Love in Christ
