Advent Daybook, 26: Jerusalem, an immovable tent
“Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts!
Your eyes will see Jerusalem,
an untroubled habitation, an immovable tent,
whose stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.
But there the Lord in majesty will be for us
a place of broad rivers and streams,
where no galley with oars can go,
nor majestic ship can pass.
For the Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver;
the Lord is our king; he will save us.

And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.”
He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”

— Isaiah 33:20-22 & Revelation 22:6,20 (ESV)
