God Will Rescue Jerusalem
The Sovereign Lord says to his people, "When you became slaves, no money was paid for you; in the same way nothing will be paid to set you free. When you went to live in Egypt as foreigners, you did so of your own free will; Assyria, however, took you away by force and paid nothing for you. And now in Babylonia the same thing has happened; you are captives, and nothing was paid for you. Those who rule over you boast and brag and constantly show contempt for me."
- Isaiah 52:1-5
God the Supreme King
- Psalms 96:1-3, 7-10
Christ Our Helper
I am writing this to you, my children, so that you will not sin: but if anyone does sin, we have someone who pleads with the Father on our behalf -- Jesus Christ, the righteous one. And Christ himself is the means by which our sins are forgiven, and not our sins only, but also the sins of everyone.
If we obey God's commands, then are sure that we know him. If we say that we know him, but do not obey his commands, we are liars and there is no truth in us. But if we obey his word, we are the ones whose love for God has really been made perfect. This is how we can be sure that we are in union with God. If we say that we remain in union with God, we should live just as Christ did.
The New Command
My dear friends, this command I am writing you is not new; it is the old command, the one you have had from the very beginning. The old command is the message you have already heard. However, the command I now write you is new, because its truth is seen in Christ an also in you. For the darkness is passing away, and the real light is already shining.
If we say that we are in the light, yet hate others, we are in the darkness to this very hour. If we love others, we live in the light, and so there is nothing in us that will cause someone else to sin. But if we hate others, we are in the darkness; we walk in it and do not know where we are going, because the darkness has made us blind.
- John 2:1-11

Jerusalem, be strong and great again!
Holy city of God, clothe yourself with splendor!
The heathen will never enter your gates again.
Shake yourself free, Jerusalem!
Rise from the dust and sit on your throne!
Undo the chains that bind you, captive people of Zion!

God the Supreme King
Sing a new song to the Lord!
Sing to the Lord, all the world!
Sing to the Lord and praise him!
Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.
Proclaim his glory to the nations.
Praise the Lord, all people on earth;
praise his glory and might.
Praise the Lord's glorious name;
bring an offering and come into his Temple.
Bow down before the Holy one when he appears;
tremble before him, all the earth!
- Psalms 96:1-3, 7-10
