"There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High."(Ps.46:4). Haggai predicted "Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land."(Hag.2:6) But true worshippers shall have no need for alarm."Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof" we have God our refuge and our strength.
What the liars of Ephraim have made shall not stand. The true worshippers who are blessed by the covenant half their refuge and it is named. Zion is founded and the covenant is drawn up between God and Man. "Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."(Is.28:16). God made a count of those who were born in Zion. "And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: And the highest himself shall establish her. The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, That this man was born there."(Ps.87:5-6) When I am born there before the foundation of the world why would I want to sit with false worshippers, " Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness?". God also made two lights to indicate the Throne of God and of the Lamb.(Re.22:1). These lights are for the earth for those in the outer darkness. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also./And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth." (1:15-16) These two lights are the signs. God showed Abraham them, "Therefore sprang there even of one, and him as good as dead, so many as the stars of the sky in multitude, and as the sand which is by the sea shore innumerable./These all died in faith." (He.11)
