A highway for our God
"Thus says the LORD, "Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is, and walk in it; and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, 'We will not walk in it.' "
(quote from the prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 6:16)
" "For My people have forgotten Me, they burn incense to worthless gods, and they have stumbled from their ways, from the ancient paths, to walk in bypaths, not on a highway." "
(quote from the prophet Jeremiah, Jeremiah 18:5)
"A highway will be there, a roadway, and it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, but it will be for him who walks that way, and fools will not wander on it.
(quote from the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 35:8)
"A voice is calling, "Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God." "
(quote from the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 40:3)
" "I will make My mountains a road, and My highways will be raised up. Behold, these will come from afar ..." Shout for joy, O heavens! and rejoice, O earth! Break forth into joyful shouting, O mountains! For the LORD has comforted His people and will have compassion on His afflicted."
(quote from the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 49:11-13)
"Go through, go through the gates, clear the way for the people; build up, build up the highway, remove the stones, lift up a standard over the peoples." (quote from the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 62:10)
"The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
"BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSANGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY; THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING IN THE WILDERNESS, MAKE READY THE WAY OF THE LORD, MAKE HIS PATHS STRAIGHT." " (quote of the Apostle Mark, Mark 1:1-3)
