Thus, He will be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace will be between the twohoffices.”’ 14 Now the crown will become a reminder in the temple of the LORD to Helem, Tobijah, Jedaiah andiHen the son of Zephaniah. 15 Those who are far off will come andjbuild the temple of the LORD.” Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. And it will take place if you completely obey the LORD your God. |
