GOD SENDS AN ANGEL

“See, I am sending an angel before you,
to guard you on the way
and bring you to the place
I have prepared."
Exodus 23:20


Be attentive to him and heed his voice. Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin. My authority resides in him. If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you, I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes. (Exodus 23:21-22)

“My angel will go before you and bring you to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Canaanites, Hivites and Jebusites; and I will wipe them out.” (Exodus 23:23)


My God has sent his angel and closed the lions’ mouths so that they have not hurt me. For I have been found innocent before him; neither to you have I done any harm, O king!” (Daniel 6:23)

VILLA ALESSA

God's Holy Mountain

There shall be no harm or ruin on all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be filled with knowledge of the Lord, as water covers the sea. - Isaiah 11:9

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will provide for all peoples a feast of rich food and choice wines, juicy, rich food and pure, choice wines. - Isaiah 25:6

On this mountain He will destroy the veil that veils all peoples, the web that is woven over all nations; He will destroy death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces; the reproach of His people He will remove from the whole earth; for the Lord has spoken. - Isaiah 25:7-8

On that day it will be said: “Behold our God, to whom we looked to save us! This is the Lord for whom we looked; let us rejoice and be glad that he has saved us!” For the hand of the Lord will rest on this mountain. - Isaiah 25:9-10

Glorious Dwelling

On that day, the root of Jesse, set up as a signal for the nations, the Gentiles shall seek out, for his dwelling shall be glorious. - Isaiah 11:10





Facade was toward the East
The Angel brought me back to the entrance of the temple, and I saw water flowing out from beneath the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the facade of the temple was toward the east; the water flowed down from the southern side of the temple, south of the altar. - Ezekiel 47:1


I rejoiced because they said to me, 
“We will go up to the house of the Lord.”
 Psalm 122:1

"May peace be within your walls, 
prosperity in your buildings." 
Psalm 122:7

Because of my relatives and friends I will say, 
“Peace be within you!” 
Because of the house of the Lord, our God, 
I will pray for your good.
Psalm 122:8-9


He led me outside by the north gate, and around to the outer gate facing the east, where I saw water trickling from the southern side. - Ezekiel 47:2

Water from the Southern Side




Outer Gate facing the East
"Now we have set foot within your gates."
Psalm 122:2


Water Trickling


8 He said to me, “This water flows into the eastern district down upon the Arabah, and empties into the sea, the salt waters, which it makes fresh. 9 Wherever the river flows, every sort of living creature that can multiply shall live, and there shall be abundant fish, for wherever this water comes the sea shall be made fresh. - Ezekiel 47:8-9


Abundant Fish

12 Along both banks of the river, fruit trees of every kind shall grow; their leaves shall not fade, nor their fruit fail. Every month they shall bear fresh fruit, for they shall be watered by the flow from the sanctuary. Their fruit shall serve for food, and their leaves for medicine.” - Ezekiel 47:12


Fruit Trees

They ornamented the facade of the temple with gold crowns and shields; they repaired the gates and the priests’ chambers and furnished them with doors. - 1 Maccabees 4:57

WORSHIP THE LORD


All the angels stood around the throne 
and around the elders and the four living creatures. 
They prostrated themselves before the throne, 
worshipped God, and exclaimed: 
“Amen. Blessing and glory, 
wisdom and thanksgiving, 
honor, power, and might 
be to our God 
forever and ever. 
Amen.” 
Revelations 7:11-12

BE SEALED BY AN ANGEL




Then I saw another angel 
ascend from the rising of the sun, 
with the seal of the living God, 
and he called with a loud voice to the four angels 
who had been given power 
to harm earth and sea, saying, 
"Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, 
till we have sealed the servants of our God 
upon their foreheads." 
Revelations 7:2-3

SEE HOW GREAT IS ITS WIDTH AND LENGTH


GREAT IS ITS WIDTH AND LENGTH

5 I, Zechariah, raised my eyes and looked: there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 6 I asked, “Where are you going?” He answered, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how great is its width and how great its length.”


IN OPEN COUNTRY

7 Then the angel who spoke with me advanced, and another angel came out to meet him 8 and said to him, “Run, tell this to that young man: People will live in Jerusalem as though in open country, because of the multitude of men and beasts in her midst. 9 But I will be for her an encircling wall of fire, says the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.”



I AM COMING TO DWELL AMONG YOU

14 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! See, I am coming to dwell among you, says the Lord. 15 Many nations shall join themselves to the Lord on that day, and they shall be his people, and he will dwell among you.


Zechariah 2:5-9, 14-15
