5:7 雅各餘剩的人必在多國的民中，如從耶和華那裡降下的露水，又如甘霖降在草上；不仗賴人力，也不等候世人之功。
5:8 雅各餘剩的人必在多國多民中，如林間百獸中的獅子，又如少壯獅子在羊群中。他若經過就必踐踏撕裂，無人搭救。
5:9 願你的手舉起，高過敵人！願你的仇敵都被剪除！
5:10 耶和華說：到那日，我必從你中間剪除馬匹，毀壞車輛，
5:11 也必從你國中除滅城邑，拆毀一切的保障，
5:12 又必除掉你手中的邪術；你那裡也不再有占卜的。
5:13 我必從你中間除滅雕刻的偶像和柱像，你就不再跪拜自己手所造的。
5:14 我必從你中間拔出木偶，又毀滅你的城邑。
5:15 我也必在怒氣和忿怒中向那不聽從的列國施報。
Then the remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the Lord,
like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
nor wait for the children of man.
And
the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of
sheep,
which, when it goes through, treads down
and tears in pieces, and there is none to
deliver.
Your hand shall be lifted up over your adversaries,
and all your enemies shall be cut off.
And
in that day, declares the Lord,
I will cut off your horses from among you
and will destroy your chariots;
and
I will cut off the cities of your land
and throw down all your strongholds;
and
I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
and you shall have no more tellers of
fortunes;
and
I will cut off your carved images
and your pillars from among you,
and you shall bow down no more
to the work of your hands;
and
I will root out your Asherah images from among you
and destroy your cities.
And
in anger and wrath I will execute vengeance
on the nations that did not obey.

上帝不僅透過耶穌基督來施行拯救，也透過祂在基督裡揀選的人，來成就祂更偉大的事：就是使祂的榮耀充滿全地！
而這樣的作為在聖靈降臨，教會成立以後就開始運行了！如使徒行傳1章8節說：「但聖靈降臨在你們身上，你們就必得著能力，並要在耶路撒冷、猶太全地，和撒馬利亞，直到地極，作我的見證。」
是的教會要成為基督的見證，不只見證基督復活，更要見證基督再來，讓上帝國完全實現！
