one who will be ruler over Israel,
whose origins are from of old,
from ancient times.”
Isaiah 7:14

and for glory to your people Israel.”
2 Samuel 7:12-16
When your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands.
15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.’”
Daniel 2:44
“In the time of those kings,
the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed,
nor will it be left to another people.
It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it
will itself endure forever.
And our Christmas Lights Testify
Isaiah 9:1-2
Nevertheless,
there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress.
In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
but in the future
he will honor Galilee of the nations,
by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2 The people walking in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
a light has dawned.

The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.

Here is the Gift of Salvation of Jesus in those who want the Holy Spirit of God. His Comforter.
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Declares the Lord, I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord.
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.”

and whoever abides in love abides in God,
and God abides in him.
Loving people have God abide in them.
Romans 8:37-39
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
1 John 4:18

You are not the God of the dead. You are the God of the alive in faith and hope and with Your Love. We will truth the answers You bring us. We will not fail to see Your answers. And we rejoice with delight to know Your Hope and Your Future. We have no prayer too small and no prayer too large. For the Nation. For the Good News. For an increase of Your Holy Spirit in the faithful around the World. Jesus Lives. Amen.
