1 Corinthians 10:1-4

For I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that our fathers were all

under the cloud and all passed through the sea; 2. and all were baptized into

Moses in the cloud and in the sea; 3. and all ate the same spiritual food;

4. and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a

spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

Acts 3:22-24

"Moses said, `THE LORD GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR

YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR

BRETHREN; TO HIM YOU SHALL GIVE HEED to

everything He says to you. 23. `And it will be

that every soul that does not heed that

prophet shall be utterly destroyed from among

the people.’ 24. "And likewise, all the prophets

who have spoken, from Samuel and his

successors onward, also announced these

days.

Psalm 147 12-20Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O

Zion!13. For He has strengthened the bars of your gates; He has blessed your sons within you.14. He

makes peace in your borders; He satisfies you

with the finest of the wheat.15. He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs very

swiftly.16. He gives snow like wool; He scatters the frost like ashes.17. He casts forth His ice as

fragments; Who can stand before His cold?18. He sends forth His word and melts them; He causes

His wind to blow and the waters to flow.19. He declares His words to Jacob, His statutes and His

ordinances to Israel.20. He has not dealt thus with any nation; And as for His ordinances, they

have not known them. Praise the LORD !

Isaiah 63:7-9

According to all that the LORD has granted us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has granted them according

to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses. 8.For He said, "Surely, they are My people, Sons who will not deal falsely." So He became their Savior. 9.In all their affliction He was afflicted, And the angel of His presence

saved them; In His love and in His mercy He redeemed them, And He lifted them and

carried them all the days of old.

Amos 3:2

"You only have I chosen among all the families of the earth;

Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities."
