than he.”

Isaiah 2:2-3
  Now it shall come to pass in the
latter days That the mountain of the
LORD'S house Shall be established on the
top of the mountains, And shall be exalted
above the hills; And all nations shall flow to
it. 3 Many people shall come and say, "Come,
and let us go up to the mountain of the
LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He
will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in
His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the
law, And the word of the LORD from
Jerusalem.

from the dead the third day, 47 and that
repentance and remission of sins should be
preached in His name to all nations,
beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are
witnesses of these things.”

must obey the gospel of the King. You
have the opportunity to be “greater” than
John the Baptist.

   Will you become a citizen of
         God’s kingdom?
