(10) _Ezekiel_ foretold a coming time when the Lord will take away the
stony heart out of the people and give them hearts that are warm and
tender (Ezek. 11:19); that the Sodomites, the Samaritans and the Jews—who
were twice as bad as either of the others—shall all return to their former
estate, and the Lord will establish His covenant with them and be pacified
towards them (Ezek. 16:55, 61‐63); that it will no more be true that the
children suffer for the sins of their parents (Ezek. 18:2); that it will
not be necessary then for anybody to die (Ezek. 18:31, 32); that the
people shall dwell safely and build houses and plant vineyards with
confidence (Ezek. 28:26); that the Lord will cause the evil beasts to
cease out of the land; and that the people shall dwell safely in the
wilderness and sleep in the woods, the shower will come down in its
season, there shall be showers of blessing, the trees shall yield their
fruit and the earth shall yield its increase and the people shall dwell
safely and none shall make them afraid (Ezek. 34:25‐28); that the Lord
will put His Spirit into the people and cause them to walk in His ways,
will increase the corn, multiply the fruit of the tree and the increase of
the field, and the land that was desolate shall become like the garden of
Eden (Ezek. 36:26, 27, 29, 30, 35); that the people shall have one
Shepherd and walk in His statutes and do them (Ezek. 37:24); and the Lord
will not hide His face from them any more when He has poured out His
Spirit upon them.—Ezek. 39:29.
(11) _Daniel_ foretold that the God of Heaven shall set up a Kingdom which
shall never be destroyed, but which shall break in pieces and consume all
other kingdoms, and which shall stand forever (Dan. 2:44); and the Kingdom
and dominion and the greatness of the Kingdom _under_ the whole heaven
shall be given to the saints of the Most High as an everlasting
dominion.—Dan. 7:27.
(12) _Hosea_ prophesied food in abundance for the beasts of the field and
the fowls of heaven with the creeping things of the ground; and that the
Lord will break the bow and sword and the battle out of the earth, and
make all to lie down safely; and that it shall come to pass in that Day
that Jehovah will hear the new powers of spiritual control and they shall
hear the cries of men (Hos. 2:18, 21); that the people shall fear the
goodness of the Lord in the latter days (Hos. 3:5); that after the fifth
and sixth thousand‐year Days are past the people will be raised up and
live in the Lord’s sight (Hos. 6:2); and He will ransom them from hell and
redeem them from death, and destroy hell altogether.—Hos. 13:14.
(13) _Joel_ prophesied that the Lord will cause the pastures to spring,
the tree to bear her fruit and the fig tree and the vine to yield their
strength, and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be
delivered.—Joel 2:22, 32.
