<p class="poetry">Because of<n id="1" /> our God&#8217;s tender mercy<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">the dawn<n id="3" /> will break<n id="4" /> upon us from on highp>

Then<n id="1" /> people<n id="2" /> will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table<n id="3" /> in the kingdom of God.<n id="4" />

There are<n id="1" /> 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.<n id="2" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">After Jesus was born in Bethlehem<n id="1" /> in Judea, in the time<n id="2" /> of King Herod,<n id="3" /> wise men<n id="4" /> from the East came to Jerusalem<n id="5" />

saying, &#8220;Where is the one who is born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose<n id="1" /> and have come to worship him.&#8221;

I tell you, many will come from the east and west to share the banquet<n id="1" /> with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob<n id="2" /> in the kingdom of heaven,

After listening to the king they left, and once again<n id="1" /> the star they saw when it rose<n id="2" /> led them until it stopped above the place where the child was.

Then<n id="1" /> I saw another angel ascending from the east,<n id="2" /> who had<n id="3" /> the seal<n id="4" /> of the living God. He<n id="5" /> shouted out with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given permission<n id="6" /> to damage the earth and the sea:<n id="7" />

<p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> the sixth angel<n id="2" /> poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates and dried up its water<n id="3" /> to prepare the way<n id="4" /> for the kings from the east.<n id="5" />

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