የዮሐንስ ራእይ 12 : 13 -
ዘንዶውም ወደ ምድር እንደ ተጣለ ባየ ጊዜ ወንድ ልጅ የወለደችውን ሴት አሳደዳት። ከእባቡም ፊት ርቃ አንድ ዘመን፥ ዘመናትም፥ የዘመንም እኵሌታ ወደ ምትመገብበት ወደ ስፍራዋ ወደ በረሀ እንድትበር ለሴቲቱ ሁለት የታላቁ ንሥር ክንፎች ተሰጣት። እባቡም ሴቲቱ በወንዝ እንድትወሰድ ሊያደርግ ወንዝ የሚያህልን ውኃ ከአፉ በስተ ኋላዋ አፈሰሰ። ምድሪቱም ሴቲቱን ረዳቻት፥ ምድሪቱም አፍዋን ከፍታ ዘንዶው ከአፉ ያፈሰሰውን ወንዝ ዋጠችው። ዘንዶውም በሴቲቱ ላይ ተቈጥቶ የእግዚአብሔርን ትእዛዛት የሚጠብቁትን የኢየሱስም ምስክር ያላቸውን ከዘርዋ የቀሩትን ሊዋጋ ሄደ፤ በባሕርም አሸዋ ላይ ቆመ።
1ኛ የጴጥሮስ መልእክት 1 : 8 - 13
እርሱንም ሳታዩት ትወዱታላችሁ፤ አሁንም ምንም ባታዩት በእርሱ አምናችሁ፥ የእምነታችሁን ፍፃሜ እርሱም የነፍሳችሁን መዳን እየተቀበላችሁ፥ በማይነገርና ክብር በሞላበት ሐሤት ደስ ይላችኋል። ለእናንተም ስለሚሰጠው ጸጋ ትንቢት የተናገሩት ነቢያት ስለዚህ መዳን ተግተው እየፈለጉ መረመሩት፤ በእነርሱም የነበረ የክርስቶስ መንፈስ፥ ስለ ክርስቶስ መከራ ከእርሱም በኋላ ስለሚመጣው ክብር አስቀድሞ እየመሰከረ፥ በምን ወይም እንዴት ባለ ዘመን እንዳመለከተ ይመረምሩ ነበር። ለእነርሱም ከሰማይ በተላከ በመንፈስ ቅዱስ ወንጌልን የሰበኩላችሁ ሰዎች አሁን ባወሩላችሁ ነገር እናንተን እንጂ ራሳቸውን እንዳላገለገሉ ተገለጠላቸው፤ ይህንም ነገር መላእክቱ ሊመለከቱ ይመኛሉ። ስለዚህ የልቡናችሁን ወገብ ታጥቃችሁና በመጠን ኖራችሁ፥ ኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ሲገለጥ የምታገኙትን ጸጋ ፈጽማችሁ ተስፋ አድርጉ።

ሌሎች ግን እያፌዙባቸው፡— ጉሽ የወይን ጠጅ ጠግበዋል፡ አሉ። ነገር ግን ጴጥሮስ ከአሥራ አንዱ ጋር ቆመ፥ ድምፁንም ከፍ አድርጎ እንዲህ ሲል ተናገራቸው፡— አይሁድ በኢየሩሳሌምም የምትኖሩ ሁላችሁ፥ ይህ በእናንተ ዘንድ የታወቀ ይሁን፥ ቃሎቼንም አድምጡ። ለእናንተ እንደ መሰላችሁ እነዚህ የሰከሩ አይደሉም፥ ከቀኑ ሦስተኛ ሰዓት ነውና፤ ነገር ግን ይህ በነቢዩ በኢዩኤል የተባለው ነው፡— እግዚአብሔር ይላል፡— በመጨረሻው ቀን እንዲህ ይሆናል፤ ሥጋ በለበሰ ሁሉ ላይ ከመንፈሴ አፈሳለሁ፤ ወንዶችና ሴቶች ልጆቻችሁም ትንቢት ይናገራሉ፥ ጎበዞቻችሁም ራእይ ያያሉ፥ ሽማግሌዎቻችሁም ሕልም ያልማሉ፤ ደግሞም በዚያች ወራት በወንዶችና በሴቶች ባሪያዎቼ ላይ ከመንፈሴ አፈሳለሁ ትንቢትም ይናገራሉ። ድንቆችን በላይ በሰማይ፥ ምልክቶችንም በታች በምድር እሰጣለሁ፤ ደምም እሳትም የጢስ ጭጋግም ይሆናል፤ ታላቅ የሆነ የተሰማም የጌታ ቀን ሳይመጣ ፀሐይ ወደ ጨለማ ጨረቃም ወደ ደም ይለወጣሉ። የጌታን ስም የሚጠራም ሁሉ ይድናል። የእስራኤል ሰዎች ሆይ፥ ይህን ቃል ስሙ፤ ራሳችሁ እንደምታውቁ፥ የናዝሬቱ ኢየሱስ እግዚአብሔር በመካከላችሁ በእርሱ በኩል ባደረገው ተአምራትና በድንቆች በምልክቶችም ከእግዚአብሔር ዘንድ ለእናንተ የተገለጠ ሰው ነበረ፤ እርሱንም በእግዚአብሔር በተወሰነው አሳቡና በቀደመው እውቀቱ ተሰጥቶ በዓመፀኞች እጅ ሰቅላችሁ ገደላችሁት። እግዚአብሔር ግን የሞትን ጣር አጥፍቶ አስነሣው፥ ሞት ይይዘው ዘንድ አልቻለምና። ዳዊት ስለ እርሱ እንዲህ ይላልና፡— ጌታን ሁልጊዜ በፊቴ አየሁት፥ እንዳልታወክ በቀኜ ነውና። ስለዚህ ልቤን ደስ አለው፥ ልሳኔም ሐሤት አደረገ፥ ደግሞም ሥጋዬ በተስፋ ያድራል፤ ነፍሴን በሲኦል አትተዋትምና፥ ቅዱስህንም መበስበስን ያይ ዘንድ አትሰጠውም። የሕይወትን መንገድ አስታወቅኸኝ፤ ከፊትህ ጋር ደስታን ትሞላብኛለህ። ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ስለ አባቶች አለቃ ስለ ዳዊት እንደ ሞተም እንደ ተቀበረም ለእናንተ በግልጥ እናገር ዘንድ ፍቀዱልኝ፤ መቃብሩም እስከ ዛሬ በእኛ ዘንድ ነው። ነቢይ ስለ ሆነ፥ ከወገቡም ፍሬ በዙፋኑ ያስቀምጥ ዘንድ እግዚአብሔር መሐላ እንደ ማለለት ስለ አወቀ፥ ስለ ክርስቶስ ትንሣኤ አስቀድሞ አይቶ፥ ነፍሱ በሲኦል እንዳልቀረች ሥጋውም መበስበስን እንዳላየ ተናገረ። ይህን ኢየሱስን እግዚአብሔር አስነሣው ለዚህም ነገር እኛ ሁላችን ምስክሮች ነን፤ ስለዚህ በእግዚአብሔር ቀኝ ከፍ ከፍ ብሎና የመንፈስ ቅዱስን የተስፋ ቃል ከአብ ተቀብሎ ይህን እናንተ አሁን የምታዩትንና የምትሰሙትን አፈሰሰው። ዳዊት ወደ ሰማያት አልወጣምና፥ ነገር ግን እርሱ፡— ጌታ ጌታዬን፡— ጠላቶችህን የእግርህ መረገጫ እስካደርግልህ ድረስ በቀኜ ተቀመጥ፥ አለው አለ፡— እንግዲህ ይህን እናንተ የሰቀላችሁትን ኢየሱስን እግዚአብሔር ጌታም ክርስቶስም እንዳደረገው የእስራኤል ወገን ሁሉ በእርግጥ ይወቅ። ይህንም በሰሙ ጊዜ ልባቸው ተነካ፥ ጴጥሮስንና ሌሎችንም ሐዋርያት፡— ወንድሞች ሆይ፥ ምን እናድርግ? አሉአቸው። ጴጥሮስም፡— ንስሐ ግቡ፥ ኃጢአታችሁም ይሰረይ ዘንድ እያንዳንዳችሁ በኢየሱስ ክርስቶስ ስም ተጠመቁ፤ የመንፈስ ቅዱስንም ስጦታ ትቀበላላችሁ። የተስፋው ቃል ለእናንተና ለልጆቻችሁ ጌታ አምላካችንም ወደ እርሱ ለሚጠራቸው በሩቅ ላሉ ሁሉ ነውና፡ አላቸው። በብዙ ሌላ ቃልም መሰከረና፡— ከዚህ ጠማማ ትውልድ ዳኑ ብሎ መከራቸው። ቃሉንም የተቀበሉ ተጠመቁ፥ በዚያም ቀን ሦስት ሺህ የሚያህል ነፍስ ተጨመሩ፤ በሐዋርያትም ትምህርትና በኅብረት እንጀራውንም በመቍረስ በየጸሎቱም ይተጉ ነበር። ነገር ግን በሰው ሁሉ ፍርሀት ሆነ፤ በሐዋርያትም እጅ ብዙ ድንቅና ምልክት ተደረገ። ያመኑትም ሁሉ አብረው ነበሩ፤ ያላቸውንም ሁሉ አንድነት አደረጉ። መሬታቸውንና ጥሪታቸውንም እየሸጡ፥ ማንኛውም እንደሚፈልግ ለሁሉ ያካፍሉት ነበር። በየቀኑም በአንድ ልብ ሆነው በመቅደስ እየተጉ በቤታቸውም እንጀራ እየቈረሱ፥ በደስታና በጥሩ ልብ ምግባቸውን ይመገቡ ነበር፤ እግዚአብሔርንም እያመሰገኑ በሕዝብ ሁሉ ፊት ሞገስ ነበራቸው። ጌታም የሚድኑትን ዕለት ዕለት በእነርሱ ላይ ይጨምር ነበር።

ኮከቡንም ባዩ ጊዜ በታላቅ ደስታ እጅግ ደስ አላቸው። ወደ ቤትም ገብተው ሕፃኑን ከእናቱ ከማርያም ጋር አዩት፥ ወድቀውም ሰገዱለት፥ ሣጥኖቻቸውንም ከፍተው እጅ መንሻ ወርቅና ዕጣን ከርቤም አቀረቡለት። ወደ ሄሮድስም እንዳይመለሱ በሕልም ተረድተው በሌላ መንገድ ወደ አገራቸው ሄዱ። እነርሱም ከሄዱ በኋላ እነሆ፥ የጌታ መልአክ በሕልም ለዮሴፍ ታይቶ፡— ሄሮድስ ሕፃኑን ሊገድለው ይፈልገዋልና ተነሣ፥ ሕፃኑንና እናቱንም ይዘህ ወደ ግብፅ ሽሽ፥ እስክነግርህም ድረስ በዚያ ተቀመጥ፡ አለው። እርሱም ተነሥቶ ሕፃኑንና እናቱን በሌሊት ያዘና ከጌታ ዘንድ በነቢይ፡— ልጄን ከግብፅ ጠራሁት፡ የተባለው እንዲፈጸም ወደ ግብፅ ሄደ፥ ሄሮድስም እስኪሞት ድረስ በዚያ ኖረ። ከዚህ በኋላ ሄሮድስ ሰብአ ሰገል እንደ ተሣለቁበት ባየ ጊዜ እጅግ ተቆጣና ልኮ ከሰብአ ሰገል እንደ ተረዳው ዘመን በቤተ ልሔምና በአውራጃዋ የነበሩትን፥ ሁለት ዓመት የሆናቸውን ከዚያም የሚያንሱትን ሕፃናት ሁሉ አስገደለ። ያን ጊዜ በነቢዩ በኤርምያስ፥ ድምፅ በራማ ተሰማ፥ ልቅሶና ብዙ ዋይታ፤ ራሔል ስለ ልጆችዋ አለቀሰች፥ መጽናናትም አልወደደችም፥ የሉምና የተባለው ተፈጸመ።

Revelation 12 : 13 -
13 And when the dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child. 14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. 15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood. 16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the dragon cast out of his mouth. 17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
1 Peter 1 : 8 - 13
8 Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: 9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. 10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;
Acts 2 : 13 -
13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine. 14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: 15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. 16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God,I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? 38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. 40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation. 41 Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. 42 And they continued stedfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, did eat their meat with gladness and singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.
Psalms 77 : 43 - 44
43 How he had wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan: 44 And had turned their rivers into blood; and their floods, that they could not drink.
Matthew 2 : 10 - 17
10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. 11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh. 12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 13 And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14 When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt: 15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son. 16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. 17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,
