The Desert Shall Bloom
The desert shall rejoice and blossom;
it shall rejoice with gladness and singing.
The glory of the Lord shall be revealed:
and the majesty of our God.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - The Righteous Branch of David
5-6For the time is coming, says the Lord, when I will place a righteous Branch upon King David’s throne. He shall be a King who shall rule with wisdom and justice and cause righteousness to prevail everywhere throughout the earth.a And this is his name: The Lord Our Righteousness. At that time Judah will be saved and Israel will live in peace.
7In that day people will no longer say when taking an oath, “As the Lord lives who rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt,” 8 but they will say, “As the Lord lives who brought the Jews back to their own land of Israel from the countries to which he had exiled them.”
. . . . .Jeremiah 23:5-8- Or “throughout the land.”
