140:3.7

If your children will keep my covenant, my testimony that I will teach them, their children also will sit on your throne forever more.”

“Mother, embrace your children. I will bring them out with gladness like a dove does. Establish their feet, for I have chosen you, says the Lord. I will raise those who are dead up again from their places, and bring them out from their tombs, for I recognize my name in them. Don’t be afraid, you mother of children, for I have chosen you, says the Lord. For your help, I will send my servants Esaias and Jeremy, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for you twelve trees laden with various fruits, and as many springs flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains, on which roses and lilies grow, with which I will fill your children with joy. Do right to the widow. Secure justice for the fatherless. Give to the poor. Defend the orphan. Clothe the naked. Heal the broken and the weak. Don’t laugh a lame man to scorn. Defend the maimed. Let the blind man have a vision of my glory. Protect the old and young within your walls. Wherever you find the dead, set a sign upon them and commit them to the grave, and I will give you the first place in my resurrection. Stay still, my people, and take your rest, for your rest will come. Nourish your children, good nurse, and establish their feet. As for the servants whom I have given you, not one of them will perish, for I will require them from among your number. Don’t be anxious, for when the day of suffering and anguish comes, others will weep and be sorrowful, but you will rejoice and have abundance. The nations will envy you, but they will be able to do nothing against you, says the Lord. My hands will cover you, so that your children don’t see Gehenna. Be joyful, mother, with your children, for I will deliver you, says the Lord. Remember your children who sleep, for I will bring them out of the secret places of the earth and show mercy to them, for I am merciful, says the Lord Almighty. Embrace your children until I come, and proclaim mercy to them, for my wells run over, and my grace won’t fail.”

“But I said, ‘How I desire to put you among the children, and give you a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the armies of the nations!’ and I said, ‘You shall call me “My Father”, and shall not turn away from following me.’
