Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15 Isaiah portrays a messenger bringing news from the battlefield to the king and his people who anxiously await the outcome (see 2 Sam. 18:26). Paul quotes this prophecy in Romans as he urges his readers to help spread the good news.
Revelation 19:6 In his vision, John saw a great multitude worshiping the victorious Christ and, as in Handel's resounding chorus, the word "Hallelujah" is repeated again and again. "Hallelujah" comes from two Hebrew words (Hallelu Ya) and means "praise the Lord."
Job 19:25-26 Falsely accused and facing inexplicable suffering, Job could still utter words of faith; God, his redeemer, would one day exonerate him. That faith has empowered believers from ancient days on to endure unjust suffering and persecution.
