Shalom, @Anne2.

Did you mean to quote these verses this way? First, it's always better to see a verse within its context so that one might deduce what the author is trying to say, and if there are still questions, one should go to the Greek language for the NT.

Regarding Hebrews 8:13:

Here is the context:

Hebrews 8:1-13 (KJV)

1 Now of the things which we have spoken [this is] the sum: We HAVE such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; 2 A minister (servant) of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.

3 For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore [it is] of NECESSITY that this man (Yeeshuwa` or Jesus) have somewhat also to offer. 4 For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: 5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for,

"See," saith He, "[that] thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount." (Exodus 25:40).

6 But now hath he (Yeeshuwa`) obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

7 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then should no place have been sought for the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith,

"Behold, the days come," saith the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant WITH THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL AND WITH THE HOUSE OF JUDAH: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not," saith the Lord. 10 "For this [is] the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days," saith the Lord; "I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord': for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." (Jeremiah 31:31-34).

13 In that he saith, "A new [covenant]," he hath made the first "old." Now that which decayeth and waxeth old [is] ready to vanish away.

This verse describes the Old Covenant as being on the CUSP of retiring; however, it is NOT quite there, yet. The NEW Covenant is also between God and THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL. Gentiles ONLY qualify IF they become a part of the children of Israel!

BTW, this passage is a GREAT way to compare the Hebrew of Jeremiah 31 to the Greek of this passage.

*****

Regarding Hebrews 11:3:

"Worlds" is the Greek word "aioonas" which means "ages," and "framed" is this word:

G2675 καταρτίζω katartízō, kat-ar-tid'-zo; from G2596 and a derivative of G739; to complete thoroughly, i.e. repair (literally or figuratively) or adjust:
—fit, frame, mend, (make) perfect(-ly join together), prepare, restore.

So, with those details, let's look at its context:

Hebrews 11:1-7ff (KJV)

1 Now faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report.

3 Through faith we understand that the worlds (ages) were framed (thoroughly completed) by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. (In other words, He started with NOTHING to CREATE all!)

4 By faith Abel (Hevel) offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain (Qayin), by which he obtained witness that he was "righteous," God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.

5 By faith Enoch (Chanowkh) was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that "he pleased God." () 6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

This was his argument for proof that Chanowkh had faith! He trusted God, and God made him disappear rather than face death.

7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.

...

Noach also showed us his faith in God when he OBEYED God in building the ark. He BELIEVED God would save all aboard the ark, particularly his family. However, in doing so, it led to the condemnation of the rest of humanity as well as the animals that lived upon the land. And, the list goes on!

Anyway, I don't really know WHY you picked this verse. It's not about a covenant, unless you're referring to the Noahic Covenant, for some reason.

Either I've missed your point, or you are thinking of this verse in some other way than it was written.

A change in the priesthood

.Hebrews 7:12  For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.

17  For he testifieth, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.
18  For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.
19  For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by the which we draw nigh unto God. {the bringing … : or, it was the 

The new covenant priesthood is nothing to do with our carnal elements.....

The priests are no longer sons of Aaron, no longer sons of Levi. No longer Jew or Gentile

but

Ga 6:16  And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.

As Judah and Israel according the carnal commands You nor David himself can be a priesthood.

Shalom, @Anne2, and all.

Thank you for your explanations. However, one must work all truths together to form a complete work of God's promises. NOTHING God has promised will fail or "fall to the ground!" I think this is why many Christians have a problem with the later chapters of Ezekiel 40-48. For all that the Messiah has accomplished, there are still promises made to the children of Israel that cannot be ignored. Furthermore, they are quite DETAILED promises that God has made that have never been realized to this day!

Some try to explain this away saying they were "conditional" promises that won't be fulfilled because the children of Israel didn't do their part, but if one will look closely at the promises made, particularly in Ezekiel, who was a priest btw, these are NOT promises made in a "conditional" way, nor is that made a requirement. They are a true PROPHECY of what is to come!

Knowing that God spake through David, Shlomoh, Ysha`yaahuw, Yirmyaahuw, Ychezqee'l, Zkharyaahuw, (David, Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah) and the rest of the OT prophets, AND that God spake through His later prophets, Rav Sha'uwl (Paulos or Paul), Kefa (Peter), and Yochanan (John), all three of whom God sent out (Aposteloi or "Apostles"), they must ALL be true messages, for God does NOT CHANGE HIS MIND about what will happen in the future!

If human beings won't do the things He has called them to do, He doesn't mind waiting a few thousand years to see the prophecy fulfilled, knowing that a "thousand years" to Him are but "a day." This is why it is so hard for us human beings to understand what God is doing from the start to the end! What seems volatile to us, is written in stone to God! "He has DECLARED the end from the beginning!" And, "He will do ALL His will!"

On the other hand, God has NOT revealed EVERYTHING that will happen to any one prophet! And, there are some things that He will NOT reveal, such as the seven thunders of Revelation 10:3-4, that SHALL happen. He's told us through Yochanan that they SHALL happen, but He hasn't told us WHAT shall happen. How's that for a kicker?

So, that which is true in Ezekiel, must also coincide with what is true in Revelation 4:1-22:21 or 2 Peter 3:3-13 or 1 Corithians 15:20-57. Furthermore, they are also governed by the teachings of the Messiah Yeeshuwa` (the Christ Jesus) in Matthew 13 and 23 and 24, Mark 13, Luke 17, and 21, for Yeeshuwa` Himself was a prophet of God, AND He is the SON of God, fulfilling the Davidic Covenant of 2 Samuel 7 and 1 Chronicles 17! 

Now, groups of people can be represented by the "bubbles" of a Venn diagram and a pie chart within those bubbles. Think of the first bubble being "the children of Israel," which contain 13 internal bubbles of each tribe (since Yoceef's bubble contains two bubbles, Efrayim and Manesheh).

Off to the side of this first bubble of "the children of Israel" in the Universe is the second bubble of "all the Gentile nations."  Together, they comprise all the peoples of the world.

Some picture both of these bubbles having offshoots of people who leave these bubbles to form a THIRD bubble called by most "the Church," consisting of "both Jew and Gentile." Furthermore, some see the first two bubbles as joining into one now, called "Unbelievers" or "the Unsaved" or "the Lost," making "the Church" the "Believers" and "the Saved" and "the Found."

I'm going to stop there and ask you, what do YOU, @Anne2 and all, think about these "bubbles?"

There are only two categories today, believers or nonbelievers, everyone falls into one of those categories, believers or nonbelievers.

Thank you retro for the response. I would say we both and others here are in the same boat here. We have a framework we look at. Those frameworks differ making for difficult exchanges.

This last statement is appreciated. Taking things slower. Thank you. These bubbles to my mind all end in one. The promises made to Abraham, as God sware an oath, God will not repent from his oath.

Without an oath, God can say and mean IF YOU DO THIS. If you do that.

we use the concept of conditional vs unconditional. It is God swearing an oath.

If I were to put scripture in specific headings for the Gospel of Jesus the Christ it would start here with God's oath to Abraham. Whatever bubbles we each exist, any rearrangements made are due to what God promised Abraham. The covenants made with Abraham, ARE FOR MERCY...

Example:

 Ro 9:29  And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.

God was going to destroy them and make a nation from Moses....

Ex 32:9  And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10  Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11  And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? {the LORD: Heb. the face of the LORD }
12  Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13  Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14  And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.

De 7:8  But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;

De 7:12  Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: {if: Heb. because }

De 13:17  And there shall cleave nought of the cursed thing to thine hand: that the LORD may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and shew thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto thy fathers;

We  who are Gentiles also have promise concerning ourselves in the covenant made to Abraham.

Ro 4:18  Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.

The Apostles were all Jew's, the Israel of God. Sent into all nations.

Without participating in the promise to Abraham and the blessing of Abraham, we all will be made like Sodom and Gomorrah.

Ge 28:4  And give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee, and to thy seed with thee; that thou mayest inherit the land wherein thou art a stranger, which God gave unto Abraham. {wherein … : Heb. of thy sojournings }
Ga 3:14  That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

No replacement theology. Rather perhaps the enlarging of Shem's tent through Japheth..

Ro 4:9  Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.
Ro 4:10  How was it then reckoned? when he was in circumcision, or in uncircumcision? Not in circumcision, but in uncircumcision.

I hope this Gives you a full enough understanding of one Bubble that I have in view

Ok Luther I think this has been a misunderstanding. When Mentioned the judges i was speaking of the Rabbinic ages of the Rabbis.

The tannaim were 10-22o CE....So those among this Era  would have been generations who Jesus was speaking about and to...when he spoke of the blood of all the prophets would be on this generation, or this generation shall not pass until these things be fufilled ETC. Which I think already happened to them. It wont be in the millenium IMO. .it is already done.

Rabbinical eras
Chazal Zugot Tannaim Amoraim Savoraim Geonim Rishonim Acharonim

Tannaim (Amoraic Hebrew: תנאים [tannɔʔim] "repeaters", "teachers", singular tanna תנא [tanˈnɔː], borrowed from Aramaic)^[1] were the rabbinic sages whose views are recorded in the Mishnah,^[2] from approximately 10–220 CE. The period of the Tannaim, also referred to as the Mishnaic period, lasted about 210 years. It came after the period of the Zugot "Pairs" and was immediately followed by the period of the Amoraim "Interpreters".^[3]

 

The generation of the destruction

• Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel
• Rabban Yochanan ben Zakai

Between the destruction of the Temple and Bar Kokhba's revolt

• Rabbi Eliezer ben Hurcanus
• Rabban Gamaliel of Yavne
• Rabbi Eleazar ben Arach

Perhaps you need to listen to your friend, because that's exactly what scripture teaches

 Jesus Christ Returns In Fire And Final Judgement, Dissolving This Existing Earth By Fire, Immediately After The Tribulation

This Existing Heaven And Earth Will Be (Replaced) By The New Heaven, Earth, Jerusalem, A New Creation, At The Return Of Jesus Christ

(Behold, I Make All Things New)

2 Peter 3:10-13KJV

10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.

11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,

12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

Revelation 21:1-5KJV

1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.

Matthew 24:29-30KJV

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

1 Corinthians 3:13KJV

13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

Luke 17:29-30KJV

29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

30 Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

2 Thessalonians 1:7-9KJV

7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels,

8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:

9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Malachi 3:2KJV

2 But who may abide the day of his coming? and who shall stand when he appeareth? for he is like a refiner's fire, and like fullers' soap:

Psalm 46:6KJV

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

Psalm 50:3KJV

3 Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him.

Psalm 97:5KJV

5 The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

Isaiah 66:15KJV

15 For, behold, the Lord will come with fire, and with his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.

Zechariah 14:12KJV

12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the Lord will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.

Nahum 1:5-6KJV

5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, and the earth is burned at his presence, yea, the world, and all that dwell therein.

6 Who can stand before his indignation? and who can abide in the fierceness of his anger? his fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down by him.

Revelation 20:9KJV

Agreed. Let me ask you this. In many places where the millenialists support their views, they pick and choose verses that generally avoid the " allegorical" language (primarily in the OT). Or they will give a literal explanation for something that is simply impossible to understand that way. 

Why do you think God used this kind of language? Do you believe there is spiritual meaning behind it?

Shabbat shalom, @truth7t7 and you, too, @Luther.

Those of us who know that there will be future Kingdom of the Messiah, which will graduate to be a Kingdom of the Father Himself, after the first 1,000 years, simply don't neglect to accept that information! It's not just "zip - kablooey - done!" There are STAGES to His "end," which is NOT "the end," as in a true fairy tale, but is ONLY "THE BEGINNING!"

GOD DOES NOT LOSE IN "HIS BID" FOR HIS CREATION!!!

He WINS! COMPLETELY!

He will RE-CREATE this world as a "New Heaven (Sky) and a New Earth" "wherein will dwell righteousness" (2 Peter 3:13 and Revelation 21:1-2), and "there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it;" (Revelation 22:3)

And, we don't just see this in Revelation 20-22 and 2 Peter 3, but it is also seen QUITE CLEARLY (to those who have eyes) in 1 Corinthians 15, the RESURRECTION CHAPTER: Remembering that Paul is writing about the Resurrections,

1 Corinthians 15:20-28 (KJV)

20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

23 But every man in his own order:

(0) Christ the firstfruits (which is a SINGULAR Greek word, even though the English translation adds an "s");
(1) afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.

(This matches Revelation 6:9-11:15; just Who do you think is judging the world on His  Father's behalf, and THIS WILL TAKE TIME! According to John, it will take a thousand years PLUS, for He comes BEFORE haSatan is locked away for a thousand years!) 

(2) Then [cometh] the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.

(This matches Revelation 11:15-20:15.)

25 For he (Christ; the Messiah) must reign, till he (God) hath put all enemies under his (the Son's) feet. 26 The last enemy [that] shall be destroyed [is] death.

(This in particular matches Revelation 20:14.)

27 "For he hath put all things under his feet." (Psalm 8:6).

{But when he saith "all things are put under [him," it is] manifest (revealed; obvious) that "he" (God the Father) is excepted, which did "put all things under him (the Son, His Christ or Messiah)."}

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God (the Father) may be all in all.

(This matches Revelation 21:1-22:5.)

FURTHERMORE, we see this also within the prophecies of the Tanakh (the OT), especially Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Zechariah:

Isaiah 60:1-15 (KJV)

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be nursed at thy side. 5 Then thou shalt see, and flow together, and thine heart shall fear, and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be converted unto thee, the forces of the Gentiles shall come unto thee. 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall shew forth the praises of the LORD. 7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall minister unto thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will glorify the house of my glory.

8 Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

9 "Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. 10 And the sons of strangers shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.

11 "Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the forces of the Gentiles, and that their kings may be brought.

12 "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted.

13 "The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.

14 "The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, 'The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.'

15 "Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man went through thee, I will make thee an ETERNAL excellency, a joy of many generations."

Read the rest of Isaiah! IT is, after all, a SINGLE PROPHECY!

Ezekiel 37:11-14 (KJV)

1 Then he said unto me,

"Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel: behold, they say, 'Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost: we are cut off for our parts.' 12 Therefore prophesy and say unto them,

"'Thus saith the Lord GOD;

"'"Behold, O my people, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And ye shall know that I [am] the LORD, when I have opened your graves, O my people, and brought you up out of your graves, 14 And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live, and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the LORD have spoken [it], and performed [it]," saith the LORD.'"

And, it goes on from there! Read the WHOLE rest of the book! It ALL comes true!

Zechariah 14:1-21 (KJV)

1 "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee. 2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle." 

4 And his (the Messiah's) feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

5 "And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee. 6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark: 7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light." 

8 And it shall be in that day, that living (flowing, moving, rushing) waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea (the Dead Sea), and half of them toward the hinder sea (the Mediterranean Sea): in summer and in winter shall it be. 9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.

10 All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and from the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses. 11 And men shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited. 12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth. 13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour. 14 And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance. 15 And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague.

16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. 17 And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. 18 And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be the plague, wherewith the LORD will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles. 19 This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.

20 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, "HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD"; and the pots in the LORD'S house shall be like the bowls before the altar. 21 Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in that day there shall be no more the Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.

All of this likewise shall be fulfilled JUST AS PROMISED! One may NOT pull a verse from here and there and expect to be understanding the Scriptures!
