Majestic Mercy

"I saw in the night and behold,

a Man riding upon a red horse,

and He stood among the myrtle trees

that were in a low valley,

and behind Him there were horses,

red, bay or flame-colored, and white.

 

Then said I, O my lord, what are these?

And the angel who talked with me said,

I will show you what these are.

 

And the Man who stood among the myrtle trees

answered and said, These are they

whom the Lord has sent to walk to and fro

through the earth and patrol it.

 

And the men on the horses

answered the Angel of the Lord

Who stood among the myrtle trees and said,

We have walked to and fro through the earth

and behold, all the earth sits at rest.

 

Then the Angel of the Lord said, O Lord of hosts,

how long will You not have mercy and lovingkindness

for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, against which

You have had indignation these seventy years?

 

And the Lord answered the angel who talked with me

with gracious and comforting words.

 

So the angel who talked with me said to me....

 

Therefore thus says the Lord:

I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion,

lovingkindness and

MERCY."
