II Corinthians 7:13-15; Ephesians 6:5; Philippians 2:12
Jeremiah 6:9-17 9 Thus saith YAHUWEH of hosts, They shall throughly glean the remnant of Israel as a vine: turn back thine hand as a grape gatherer into the baskets. 10 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of YAHUWEH is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it. Read 11-15
16 Thus saith Yahuweh, Stand you in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein. 17 Also I set a watchman over you, saying, Hearken to the trumpet. But, they said, We will not hearken. Read 18-28

Halle lu YAH to our soon coming King!
