34.  Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord alway; again I will say, Rejoice:  for your redemption hath drawn nigh Phil. iii. 1; and iv. 4; Luke xxi. 28., and the heavenly host of the Angels is waiting for your salvation.  And there is now the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord Is. xl. 3.; and the Prophet cries, Ho, ye that thirst, come ye to the water Ib. lv. 1.; and immediately afterwards, Hearken unto me, and ye shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall delight itself in good things Ib. v. 2..  And within a little while ye shall hear that excellent lesson which says, Shine, shine, O thou new Jerusalem; for thy light is come Is. lx. 1..  Of this Jerusalem the prophet hath said, And afterwards thou shalt be called the city of righteousness, Zion, the faithful mother of cities Ib. i. 26.; because of the law which went forth out of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem Ib. ii. 3., which word has from hence been showered forth on the whole world.  To her the Prophet also says concerning you, Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold thy children gathered together Ib. xlix. 18.; and she answers, saying, Who are these that fly as a cloud, and as doves with their young ones to me Ib. lx. 8.? (clouds because of their spiritual nature, and doves, from their purity).  And again, she says, Who knoweth such things? or who hath seen it thus? did ever a land bring forth in one day? or was ever a nation born all at once? for as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children Ib. lxvi. 8..  And all things shall be filled with joy unspeakable because of the Lord who said, Behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy Ib. lxv. 18..
