For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay.
8	…………………………………………………God’s True Fasting Isaiah 58: 6-12 “Is not this the kind of fast I have chosen: To loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, To set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry And to provide the poor wanderer with shelter – When you see the naked, to clothe him, And not to turn away from your own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like dawn, And your healing will quickly appear; Then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; You will cry for help, and He will say: Here am I. (con’t . . .)

Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of GOD BLESS IT! GOD BLESS IT! Then the word of the Lord came to me: The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple;his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Who despises the day of small beginnings? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”
