“Heaven is My throne,
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
“But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
And earth is My footstool.
Where is the house that you will build Me?
And where is the place of My rest?
2 For all those things My hand has made,
And all those things exist,”
Says the Lord.
“But on this one will I look:
On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit,
And who trembles at My word.
3 “He who kills a bull is as if he slays a man;
He who sacrifices a lamb, as if he breaks a dog’s neck;
He who offers a grain offering, as if he offers swine’s blood;
He who burns incense, as if he blesses an idol.
Just as they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,
4 So will I choose their delusions,
And bring their fears on them;
Because, when I called, no one answered,
When I spoke they did not hear;
But they did evil before My eyes,
And chose that in which I do not delight.”

5 Hear the word of the Lord,
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,
‘Let the Lord be glorified,
That we may see your joy.’
But they shall be ashamed.”
You who tremble at His word:
“Your brethren who hated you,
Who cast you out for My name’s sake, said,

But they shall be ashamed.”
6 The sound of noise from the city!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
A voice from the temple!
The voice of the Lord,
Who fully repays His enemies!
Peace is what God is calling for. However, He can only enforce it, if we ourselves will stand for it in His name. Where is the house that you will build Me? And where is the place of My rest, God asks? He gave us orders in His scriptures to build Him a house that all could come worship in, in His peace. (Ephesians 4:12) " For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ." He has His Son back. And He can now sit back and watch us turn blue in the face as we continue to fight over lands, religions, false idols, etc. Jesus Christ came down and completed the mission against satan. It is now our turn to turn ourselves around into vessels for God, to be used and formed in His holiness. We must take God at His word. The Heavens is His throne and our earth His footstool. He loves those who can humble themselves under His awesome name and tremble at His Omnipresence. God says in verse 3-4, We have chosen our own ways, ways that the enemy has design for us to confuse us, and keep us from God's plan for our lives. God goes on to say, So He will choose our delusions, and bring fear upon us. Because we have not adhered to His holy word. Words that are to bring life to our beings and empower us to fight the good fight of faith, until He is satisfied. Verse 5 says, " Hear the word of the Lord, You who tremble at His word" Your brethren who hated you, who cast you out for my name's sake, Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see your joy. But they shall be ashamed." God must have our full obedience to His word, for it to work. He says, without faith it is impossible to please Him. Come all you who are poor, and all who have an contrite spirit. Tremble, and worship the throne of God.
(John1:5) "The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
(Romans 10:14-17) How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
Who bring glad tidings of good things!”
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Blessings to all who worships the true God of our bible,
