Times of Refreshing and Restoration

 

Acts 3:19-21

19 Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, 20 and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, 21 whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.   NKJV

There is a river, whose streams bring gladness to the City of Go, the holy dwelling place of the Most High.  [Psalm 46:4]

ISRAEL

"And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; For the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious."

 

It shall come to pass in that day that the LORD shall set His hand again the second time to recover the remnant of His people who are left, from Assyria and Egypt, from Pathros and Cush, from Elam and Shinar, from Hamath and the islands of the sea.

 

He will set up a banner for the nations, And will assemble the outcasts of Israel, And gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. 

 

Also the envy of Ephraim shall depart, And the adversaries of Judah shall be cut off;  Ephraim shall not envy Judah, And Judah shall not harass Ephraim. [Isaiah 11:10-13]

 

The promise to restore Israel is as certain and fixed as the laws that govern day and night, that control the heavens and the earth.  The Lord has not cast away His people Israel, but will surely restore Israel in the days of the Kingdom of God, which is the Thousand Year Reign of our Lord Jesus Christ (Messiah).

Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the Mountain of the YEHOWAH, To the House of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. 

 

He shall judge between the nations, And rebuke many people; They shall beat their swords into plowshares, And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, Neither shall they learn war anymore.   [Isaiah 2:2-4]

18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. [Romans 8:18-23]
