Daniel 7: 13-14
“In my vision at night I looked, and there
before me was one like a son of man,
coming with the clouds of heaven. He
approached the Ancient of Days and was
led into His presence. He was given
authority, glory and sovereign power; all
peoples, nations and men of every
language worshiped Him. His dominion
is an everlasting dominion that will not
pass away, and His kingdom is one that
will never be destroyed.”
The Great Commission
Matthew 28: 18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, “All
authority in heaven and on earth has
been given to me. Therefore, go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing
them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and
teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with
you always, to the very end of the age.”
Revelation 7: 9-10
“After this I looked and there before me
was a great multitude that no one could
count, from every nation, tribe, people
and language, standing before the
throne and in front of the Lamb. They
were wearing white robes and were
holding palm branches in their hands.
And they cried out in a loud voice:
‘Salvation belongs to our God, who sits
on the throne, and to the Lamb.’”
