Because of our God’s tender mercy the dawn will break upon us from on high

Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God.

There are three gates on the east side, three gates on the north side, three gates on the south side and three gates on the west side.

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, in the time of King Herod, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem

saying, “Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”

I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven,

For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.

After listening to the king they left, and once again the star they saw when it rose led them until it stopped above the place where the child was.

Then I saw another angel ascending from the east, who had the seal of the living God. He shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given permission to damage the earth and the sea:

Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water to prepare the way for the kings from the east.

They went out and proclaimed everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the accompanying signs.]]
