Truth is lacking,

and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey.

The Lord saw it, and it displeased him

that there was no justice.

He saw that there was no man,

and wondered that there was no one to intercede;

then his own arm brought him salvation,

and his righteousness upheld him.

So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west,

and his glory from the rising of the sun;

for he will come like a rushing stream,

which the wind of the Lord drives.

(Isaiah 59:15, 16, 19)

But because Jesus lives forever,

his priesthood lasts forever.  

Therefore he is able, once and forever,

to save those who come to God through him.

He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.

(Hebrews 7: 24, 25)
