Obadiah 15-21
Christian Standard Bible
Judgment of the Nations
15 For the day of the Lord(A) is near,
against all the nations.(B)
As you have done,(C) it will be done to you;
what you deserve will return on your own head.(D)
16 As you have drunk on my holy mountain,(E)
so all the nations will drink continually.(F)
They will drink and gulp down
and be as though they had never been.
17 But there will be a deliverance on Mount Zion,(G)
and it will be holy;(H)
the house of Jacob will dispossess(I)
those who dispossessed them.[a](J)
18 Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,(K)
and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,
but the house of Esau will be stubble;
Jacob[b] will set them on fire and consume Edom.[c]
Therefore no survivor will remain(L)
of the house of Esau,
for the Lord has spoken.
Future Blessing for Israel
19 People from the Negev will possess(M)
the hill country of Esau;(N)
those from the Judean foothills will possess
the land of the Philistines.(O)
They[d] will possess
the territories of Ephraim and Samaria,(P)
while Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20 The exiles of the Israelites who are in Halah[e]
and who are among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath(Q)
as well as the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the cities of the Negev.(R)
21 Saviors[f] will ascend Mount Zion(S)
to rule over the hill country of Esau,
and the kingdom will be the Lord’s.(T)
Isaiah 24:23
Christian Standard Bible
23 The moon will be put to shame
and the sun disgraced,
because the Lord of Armies will reign as king
on Mount Zion in Jerusalem,
and he will display his glory
in the presence of his elders.(A)
Ezekiel 25:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
Judgment against Edom
12 “‘This is what the Lord God says: Because Edom acted vengefully against the house of Judah(A) and incurred grievous guilt by taking revenge on them, 13 therefore this is what the Lord God says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off both people and animals from it. I will make it a wasteland; they will fall by the sword from Teman to Dedan. 14 I will take my vengeance(B) on Edom through my people Israel, and they will deal with Edom according to my anger and wrath. So they will know my vengeance. This is the declaration of the Lord God.

The Triumphal Entry
21 When they approached Jerusalem(A) and came to Bethphage at the Mount of Olives,(B) Jesus then sent two disciples, 2 telling them, “Go into the village ahead of you. At once you will find a donkey tied there with her colt. Untie them and bring them to me. 3 If anyone says anything to you, say that the Lord needs them, and he will send them at once.”
4 This took place so that what was spoken through the prophet might be fulfilled:
5 Tell Daughter Zion,
“See, your King is coming to you,
gentle, and mounted on a donkey,
and on a colt,
the foal of a donkey.”[a](C)
6 The disciples went and did just as Jesus directed them. 7 They brought the donkey and the colt; then they laid their clothes on them, and he sat on them. 8 A very large crowd spread their clothes on the road; others were cutting branches from the trees and spreading them on the road. 9 Then the crowds who went ahead of him and those who followed shouted:
Hosannato the Son of David!
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord![b]
Hosannain the highest heaven!(D)
10 When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in an uproar, saying, “Who is this?”

Acts 2:29-36
Christian Standard Bible
29 “Brothers and sisters, I can confidently speak to you about the patriarch David: He is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.(A) 30 Since he was a prophet, he knew that God had sworn an oath to him to seat one of his descendants[a] on his throne.(B) 31 Seeing what was to come, he spoke concerning the resurrection of the Messiah: He[b] was not abandoned in Hades, and his flesh did not experience decay.[c](C)
32 “God has raised(D) this Jesus; we are all witnesses of this. 33 Therefore, since he has been exalted to the right hand of God(E) and has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit,(F) he has poured out(G) what you both see and hear. 34 For it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but he himself says:
The Lord declared to my Lord,
‘Sit at my right hand
35 until I make your enemies your footstool.’[d](H)
36 “Therefore let all the house of Israel know with certainty that God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah.”(I)
