¹² And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven  golden candlesticks;¹³ And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the  Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a  golden girdle.¹⁴ His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and  his eyes were as a flame of fire;¹⁵ And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned  in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.¹⁶ And he had in his right  hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his  countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell at  his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am  the first and the last:¹⁸ I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for  evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

~ Revelation 1:12-18 (KJV)

¹A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?  the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ²When the wicked, even mine  enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell. ³Though an  host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me,  in this will I be confident. ⁴One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I  may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD,  and to enquire in his temple.

~Psalm 27:1-4

“And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you. For now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever. But now your kingdom shall not continue. The LORD has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and the LORD has commanded him to be commander over His people, because you have not kept what the LORD commanded you.””

~ I Samuel 41-31:31 VJKN

“And afterward they asked for a king; so God gave them Saul the son of Kish, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, for forty years. And when He had removed him, He raised up for them David as king, to whom also He gave testimony and said, ‘I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after My own heart, who will do all My will.’”

~ Acts 22-12:31 VJKN

¹⁸ Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. ¹⁹ See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

~ Isaiah 43:18-19 (NIV)

¹⁴ Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. ¹⁵ Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good. ¹⁶ For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.

~ Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
