Isaiah 34:13
34:13 Her fortresses will be overgrown with thorns;
thickets and weeds will grow in her fortified cities.
Jackals will settle there;
ostriches will live there.
Hosea 1:10-11
The Restoration of Israel
1:10 (2:1) However, in the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea which can be neither measured nor numbered. Although it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “You are children of the living God!”
1:11 Then the people of Judah and the people of Israel will be gathered together. They will appoint for themselves one leader, and will flourish in the land. Certainly, the day of Jezreel will be great!
Acts 26:18
26:18 to open their eyes so that they turn
from darkness to light and from the power
of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share
among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’

Paul Offers His Defense
26:1 So Agrippa said to Paul, “You have permission to speak for yourself.” Then Paul held out his hand and began his defense:
Acts 5:19-20
5:19 But during the night an angel of the Lord
opened
the doors of the prison,
led them out,
and said,
5:20 “Go and stand in the temple courts
and proclaim
to the people all the words of this life.”
Revelation 12:9-12
12:9 So
that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.
12:10 Then
I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority of his Christ, have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
the one who accuses them day and night before our God,
has been thrown down.
12:11 But they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
12:12 Therefore you heavens rejoice, and all who reside in them!
But woe to the earth and the sea
because the devil has come down to you!
He is filled with terrible anger,
for he knows that he only has a little time!”
Revelation 18:2
18:2 He
shouted with a powerful voice:
“Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great!
She has become a lair for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.
Revelation 20:2-3
20:2 He
seized the dragon – the ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan – and tied him up for a thousand years.
20:3 The angel
then
threw him into the abyss and locked
and sealed it so that he could not deceive the nations until the one thousand years were finished. (After these things he must be released for a brief period of time.)
