Then they will be My people and I will be their God, declares the Lord GOD.’”Jeremiah 33:18nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”Revelation 3:22He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”Revelation 2:1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him who holds the seven stars in His right hand and walks among the seven golden lampstands.1 Timothy 3:3–10not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.Revelation 2:12To the angel of the church in Pergamum write: These are the words of the One who holds the sharp, double-edged sword.Leviticus 17:5–6For this reason the Israelites will bring to the LORD the sacrifices they have been offering in the open fields.
