After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

And it shall come to pass in the last days, {that} the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. {established: or, prepared}

He shall come down like rain upon the mown grass: as showers {that} water the earth.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

Thou shalt know also that thy seed {shall be} great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. {great: or, much}

Judah and Israel {were} many, as the sand which {is} by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking, and making merry.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added {unto them} about three thousand souls.

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. {grow: or, blossom} {cast...: Heb. strike}

{Is} it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?

Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:

Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.

For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring:

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

Then shall he give the rain of thy seed, that thou shalt sow the ground withal; and bread of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat and plenteous: in that day shall thy cattle feed in large pastures.

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, {and} the excellency of our God.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,)

The trees of the LORD are full {of sap}; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.

Blessed {are} ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth {thither} the feet of the ox and the ass.

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. {received: Heb. found}

Thou shalt know also that thy seed {shall be} great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth. {great: or, much}

And I will sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to {them which were} not my people, Thou {art} my people; and they shall say, {Thou art} my God.

For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will also take of the highest branch of the high cedar, and will set {it}; I will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender one, and will plant {it} upon an high mountain and eminent:

For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, {ye are} God's building. {husbandry: or, tillage}

The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.

Yea, the LORD shall give {that which is} good; and our land shall yield her increase.

In that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth {shall be} excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel. {beautiful...: Heb. beauty and glory} {them...: Heb. the escaping}

It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, {and} the excellency of our God.

But in the last days it shall come to pass, {that} the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added {unto them} about three thousand souls.

And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.

The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness.

{It is} like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:

Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls.

Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.

It is like a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and cast into his garden; and it grew, and waxed a great tree; and the fowls of the air lodged in the branches of it.

I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. {grow: or, blossom} {cast...: Heb. strike}
