Discovery BoxIsaiah 66:12-13 
Context66:12 For this is what the Lord says:
“Look, I am ready to extend to her prosperity that will flow like a river,
the riches of nations will flow into her like a stream that floods its banks. 1
You will nurse from her breast 2 and be carried at her side;
you will play on her knees.
66:13 As a mother consoles a child, 3
so I will console you,
and you will be consoled over Jerusalem.”
Isaiah 66:20
Context66:20 They will bring back all your countrymen 4 from all the nations as an offering to the Lord. They will bring them 5 on horses, in chariots, in wagons, on mules, and on camels 6 to my holy hill Jerusalem,” says the Lord, “just as the Israelites bring offerings to the Lord’s temple in ritually pure containers.
