  wept over it and said, If you, even you, had
  only known on this day what would bring you
  peace- but now it is hidden from your eyes. The
  days will come when your enemies will build an
  embankment against you and encircle you and hem
  you in on every side. They will dash you to the
  ground, you and the children within your walls.

  you did not recognize the time of Gods coming to
  you.

Daniel 79-14

  Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was
  as white as snow the hair of his head was white
  like wool. His throne was flaming with fire and
  its wheels were all ablaze. A river of fire was
  flowing , coming out from before him. Thousands
  upon thousands attended him 10,000 times 10,000
  stood before him

Daniel 79-14

• The court was seated, and the books were opened.
  Then I continued to watch because of the boastful
  words the horn was speaking. I kept looking
  until the beast was slain and its body destroyed
  and thrown into the blazing fire. The other
  beasts had been stripped of their authority, but
  were allowed to live for a period of time

Daniel 79-14

• 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
  worshipped him. His dominion is an everlasting
  dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom
  is one that will never be destroyed.

Ephesians 211-13

• Therefore, remember that formerly you who are
  Gentiles by birth and called uncircumcised by
  those who call themselves The Circumcision
  (that done in the body by the hands of men)-
  remember that at that time you were separate from
  Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and
  foreigners to the covenants of the
  promisewithout hope and without God in the
  world. BUT NOW in Christ, you who once were far
  away have been brought near through the blood of
  Christ.

  rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and
  Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But
  when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he
  rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said.

  the things of men.

  disciples and said "If anyone would come after
  me, he must deny himself and take up his cross
  and follow me. For whoever wants to save his

  me and for the gospel will save it. What good is
  it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit
  his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for
  his soul?
