Hosea 3:4-5
3:4 For the Israelites
must live many days without a king or prince, without sacrifice or sacred fertility pillar, without ephod or idols.
3:5 Afterward, the Israelites will turn and seek the
Lord their God and their Davidic king.
Then they will submit to the
Lord in fear and receive his blessings
in the future.
John 7:34-36
7:34 You will look for me
but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come.”
7:35 Then the Jewish leaders said to one another, “Where is he going to go that we cannot find him? He is not going to go to the Jewish people dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?
7:36 What did he mean by saying, ‘You will look for me but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
John 8:22-24
8:22 So the Jewish leaders
began to say,
“Perhaps he is going to kill himself, because he says, ‘Where I am going you cannot come.’”
8:23 Jesus replied,
“You people
are from below; I am from above. You people are from this world; I am not from this world.
8:24 Thus I told you
that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe that I am he,
you will die in your sins.”
John 12:35-36
12:35 Jesus replied,
“The light is with you for a little while longer.
Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you.
The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going.
12:36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become sons of light.”
When Jesus had said these things, he went away and hid himself from them.
John 14:19-23
14:19 In a little while
the world will not see me any longer, but you will see me; because I live, you will live too.
14:20 You will know at that time
that I am in my Father and you are in me and I am in you.
14:21 The person who has my commandments and obeys
them is the one who loves me.
The one
who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will reveal
myself to him.”
14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, “what has happened that you are going to reveal yourself to us and not to the world?”
14:23 Jesus replied, “If anyone loves me, he will obey my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and take up residence with him.
