Working with the Father
Scripture:
Philippians:2:12-18 [12] The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his caves with prey, and his dens with ravin.
[13] Behold, I am against thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour thy young lions; and I will cut off thy prey from the earth, and the voice of thy messengers shall no more be heard.

Yokes of Iron
Scripture:
Jeremiah:27:1-28 [1] In that day Jehovah with his hard and great and strong sword will punish leviathan the swift serpent, and leviathan the crooked serpent; and he will slay the monster that is in the sea.
[2] In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing ye unto it.
[3] I Jehovah am its keeper; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.
[4] Wrath is not in me: would that the briers and thorns were against me in battle! I would march upon them, I would burn them together.
[5] Or else let him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; [yea], let him make peace with me.
[6] In days to come shall Jacob take root; Israel shall blossom and bud; and they shall fill the face of the world with fruit.
[7] Hath he smitten them as he smote those that smote them? or are they slain according to the slaughter of them that were slain by them?
[8] In measure, when thou sendest them away, thou dost contend with them; he hath removed [them] with his rough blast in the day of the east wind.
[9] Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be forgiven, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: that he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in sunder, [so that] the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.
[10] For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness: there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.
[11] When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding: therefore he that made them will not have compassion upon them, and he that formed them will show them no favor.
[12] And it shall come to pass in that day, that Jehovah will beat off [his fruit] from the flood of the River unto the brook of Egypt; and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.
[13] And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great trumpet shall be blown; and they shall come that were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and they that were outcasts in the land of Egypt; and they shall worship Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

True Reform
Scripture:
Jeremiah:26:1-24 [1] In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; salvation will he appoint for walls and bulwarks.
[2] Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in.
[3] Thou wilt keep [him] in perfect peace, [whose] mind [is] stayed [on thee]; because he trusteth in thee.
[4] Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, [even] Jehovah, is an everlasting rock.
[5] For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust.
[6] The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.
[7] The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.
[8] Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Jehovah, have we waited for thee; to thy name, even to thy memorial [name], is the desire of our soul.
[9] With my soul have I desired thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek thee earnestly: for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.
[10] Let favor be showed to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.
[11] Jehovah, thy hand is lifted up, yet they see not: but they shall see [thy] zeal for the people, and be put to shame; yea, fire shall devour thine adversaries.
[12] Jehovah, thou wilt ordain peace for us; for thou hast also wrought all our works for us.
[13] O Jehovah our God, other lords besides thee have had dominion over us; but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
[14] [They are] dead, they shall not live; [they are] deceased, they shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them, and made all remembrance of them to perish.
[15] Thou hast increased the nation, O Jehovah, thou hast increased the nation; thou art glorified; thou hast enlarged all the borders of the land.
[16] Jehovah, in trouble have they visited thee; they poured out a prayer [when] thy chastening was upon them.
[17] Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so we have been before thee, O Jehovah.
[18] We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have as it were brought forth wind; we have not wrought any deliverance in the earth; neither have the inhabitants of the world fallen.
[19] Thy dead shall live; my dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in the dust; for thy dew is [as] the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast forth the dead.
[20] Come, my people, enter thou into thy chambers, and shut thy doors about thee: hide thyself for a little moment, until the indignation be overpast.
[21] For, behold, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

The Greatest Parabola
Scripture:
Philippians:2:5-11 [5] He remembereth his nobles: they stumble in their march; they make haste to the wall thereof, and the mantelet is prepared.
[6] The gates of the rivers are opened, and the palace is dissolved.
[7] And it is decreed: she is uncovered, she is carried away; and her handmaids moan as with the voice of doves, beating upon their breasts.
[8] But Nineveh hath been from of old like a pool of water: yet they flee away. Stand, stand, [they cry]; but none looketh back.
[9] Take ye the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold; for there is no end of the store, the glory of all goodly furniture.
[10] She is empty, and void, and waste; and the heart melteth, and the knees smite together, and anguish is in all loins, and the faces of them all are waxed pale.
[11] Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding-place of the young lions, where the lion [and] the lioness walked, the lion`s whelp, and none made them afraid?

Joyfully Inconvenienced
Scripture:
Philippians:2:1-4 [1] He that dasheth in pieces is come up against thee: keep the fortress, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.
[2] For Jehovah restoreth the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the emptiers have emptied them out, and destroyed their vine-branches.
[3] The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots flash with steel in the day of his preparation, and the cypress [spears] are brandished.
[4] The chariots rage in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways: the appearance of them is like torches; they run like the lightnings.

Escalating Anger
Scripture:
Jeremiah:25:1-38 [1] O Jehovah, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things, [even] counsels of old, in faithfulness [and] truth.
[2] For thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
[3] Therefore shall a strong people glorify thee; a city of terrible nations shall fear thee.
[4] For thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
[5] As the heat in a dry place wilt thou bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
[6] And in this mountain will Jehovah of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
[7] And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering that covereth all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
[8] He hath swallowed up death for ever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the reproach of his people will he take away from off all the earth: for Jehovah hath spoken it.
[9] And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is Jehovah; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
[10] For in this mountain will the hand of Jehovah rest; and Moab shall be trodden down in his place, even as straw is trodden down in the water of the dung-hill.
[11] And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst thereof, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth [his hands] to swim; but [Jehovah] will lay low his pride together with the craft of his hands.
[12] And the high fortress of thy walls hath he brought down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.

Relation, Relation, Relation
Scripture:
Jeremiah:24:1-10 [1] Behold, Jehovah maketh the earth empty, and maketh it waste, and turneth it upside down, and scattereth abroad the inhabitants thereof.
[2] And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the creditor, so with the debtor; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
[3] The earth shall be utterly emptied, and utterly laid waste; for Jehovah hath spoken this word.
[4] The earth mourneth and fadeth away, the world languisheth and fadeth away, the lofty people of the earth do languish.
[5] The earth also is polluted under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, violated the statutes, broken the everlasting covenant.
[6] Therefore hath the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are found guilty: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
[7] The new wine mourneth, the vine languisheth, all the merry-hearted do sigh.
[8] The mirth of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of them that rejoice endeth, the joy of the harp ceaseth.
[9] They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
[10] The waste city is broken down; every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

Living A New Life
Scripture:
Romans:6:1-14 [1] Now in these days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a murmuring of the Grecian Jews against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
[2] And the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not fit that we should forsake the word of God, and serve tables.
[3] Look ye out therefore, brethren, from among you seven men of good report, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
[4] But we will continue stedfastly in prayer, and in the ministry of the word.
[5] And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus a proselyte of Antioch;
[6] whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands upon them.
[7] And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem exceedingly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
[8] And Stephen, full of grace and power, wrought great wonders and signs among the people.
[9] But there arose certain of them that were of the synagogue called [the synagogue] of the Libertines, and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and Asia, disputing with Stephen.
[10] And they were not able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spake.
[11] Then they suborned men, who said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and [against] God.
[12] And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and seized him, and brought him into the council,
[13] and set up false witnesses, who said, This man ceaseth not to speak words against this holy place, and the law:
[14] for we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered unto us.

The Fruits of Justification
Scripture:
Romans:5:1-11 [1] But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession,
[2] and kept back [part] of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles` feet.
[3] But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land?
[4] While it remained, did it not remain thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thy power? How is it that thou hast conceived this thing in thy heart? thou has not lied unto men, but unto God.
[5] And Ananias hearing these words fell down and gave up the ghost: and great fear came upon all that heard it.
[6] And the young men arose and wrapped him round, and they carried him out and buried him.
[7] And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in.
[8] And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much. And she said, Yea, for so much.
[9] But Peter [said] unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to try the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them that have buried thy husband are at the door, and they shall carry thee out.
[10] And she fell down immediately at his feet, and gave up the ghost: and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her by her husband.
[11] And great fear came upon the whole church, and upon all that heard these things.
