Deuteronomy 32:43
32:43 Cry out, O nations, with his people,
for he will avenge his servants’ blood;
he will take vengeance against his enemies,
and make atonement for his land and people.
Psalms 97:7
97:7 All who worship idols are ashamed,
those who boast about worthless idols.
All the gods bow down before him.
Luke 2:9-14
2:9 An
angel of the Lord
appeared to
them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were absolutely terrified.
2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid! Listen carefully,
for I proclaim to you good news
that brings great joy to all the people:
2:11 Today
your Savior is born in the city
of David.
He is Christ
the Lord.
2:12 This
will be a sign
for you: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a manger.”
2:13 Suddenly
a vast, heavenly army
appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
2:14 “Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth peace among people with whom he is pleased!”
Luke 2:1
The Census and the Birth of Jesus
2:1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus to register all the empire for taxes.
Luke 3:22
3:22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven, “You are my one dear Son;
in you I take great delight.”
Revelation 5:9-12
5:9 They were singing a new song:
“You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals
because you were killed,
and at the cost of your own blood you have purchased for God
persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
5:10 You have appointed them as a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
5:11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand – thousands times thousands –
5:12 all of whom were singing in a loud voice:
“Worthy is the lamb who was killed
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and praise!”
