Hunt for Alexander's tomb: BROOME Western Australia

Now you would think that for the newest modern country,
with the oldest continuous cultures, Archaeology would be
HUGE IN AUSTRALIA, rather than something we keep,
RE-BURYING...but then, we do have The Biggest Secrets

Still missing: Alexander the Great died in 323 BC.

Tim Tutungis talks to ABC Kimberley about his theory.

Map: Broome 6725

Alexander the Great, whose tomb has been missing for
nearly 2,000 years, could be buried in Broome in Western Australia, a
Perth man says.

Macedonian-born Tim Tutungis told ABC Kimberley that he first heard the 'Broomer' from his old mate, Lou Batalis.

"We
just got onto the subject of Alexander The Great's tomb, and he said,
'They'll never ever find it, no matter where they look, because
Alexander the Great is buried in Broome, in Western Australia'," Mr
Tutungis said.

"Approximately 50 years ago, some guy went into a
cave in Broome and he saw some inscriptions in there and they looked
like ancient Greek.

"He reported it to the government, then the government went and saw it and they confirmed there were some inscriptions there.

"They went to the Greek community and they asked the community,'Is there anyone here who can read ancient Greek?'

"Naturally
Louis Batalis put his hand up and said, 'Yes, I went to school in
Egypt, I got educated, I can read it'. So they took him up there and he
defined the inscriptions as saying, in ancient Greek, 'Alexander the
Great'.

"The government did say to him at that time, 'You didn't see this, OK, this never happened'."

History's mystery

Alexander the Great died on June 11, 323 BC, probably from malaria, alcoholism or poisoning.

One
traditionally accepted story says his body was placed in two gold
caskets in a gold carriage. Another says his body was preserved in a
clay jar filled with honey and that this was placed in a glass coffin.

Some
historians say Alexander's general and friend, Ptolemy, stole the body
and took it to Alexandria, while others say Roman Emperor Caligula
looted the tomb and stole Alexander's breastplate.

According to
some sources, Emperor Septimius Severus closed Alexander's tomb about
200 AD, and little is known of the body's whereabouts after that.

Mr
Tutungis says he is 99 per cent convinced Mr Batalis told him the
truth, because people "have looked everywhere" for Alexander's grave, to
no avail.

He says his friend is a very old man now and has virtually lost his memory, and others who heard the story had dismissed it.

But he says Mr Batalis was "a man of substance" who was very educated, and the story stuck with him.

"I
drew my own conclusion because the war of the Macedonians ended up in
India and I assumed that some of the soldiers went back to Macedonia on
foot," Mr Tutungis said.

"Some of the soldiers must have caught a
ship. Why can't we say that Alexander did catch a ship; they lost their
way in the treacherous ways up there.

"Look where India is, look where Broome is; a ship could easily get wrecked in Broome."

Mr Tutungis says a new documentary suggests that when the war ended, Alexander the Great ordered thousands of ships to built.

He
takes that as further evidence to support his theory and has written to
a detective from Scotland Yard who is looking for Alexander's grave.

"Nobody ever, ever suspected that Alexander could have died in Broome," he said.

Shipwreck graveyard found beneath WA carpark
http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2011/s3399107.htm?site=kimberley

Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Broadcast: 28/12/2011
Reporter: Nikki Wilson Smith

A hidden treasure has been unearthed five metres below the surface of a council car park in a coastal WA town.

Transcript

SCOTT BEVAN, PRESENTER: For maritime archaeologists it's a dream
come true - a surprise find in a car park in the quiet WA coastal town
of Bunbury.

Five metres below the surface the team has found
historic hidden treasure and experts say there's no site quite like it
in the world.

Nikki Wilson-Smith reports from Western Australia.

NIKKI
WILSON-SMITH, REPORTER: This isn't what you'd expect to find in a
coastal car park. In Bunbury Western Australia what was a haunt for
hoons has become something much more significant - An archaeology dig.

ROSS
ANDERSON, MARINE ARCHEOLOGIST, WA MUSEUM: We're just hitting solid
material all through here and it's wooden so it's a pretty good sign
that there's another shipwreck here.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: The
area around Bunbury is known as the shipwreck coast and there have been
rumours through the years of American whaling ships wrecked near the
beach and smothered by sand.

John Cross was 16 years old when he worked at a sand mine at this site. In 1961 he was on night shift when he struck wood.

JOHN
CROSS, EXCAVATOR: I hit this what seemed like something solid, it
wasn't a rock and it wasn't steel, it just felt - seeing I have a
process of working it turned out it was wood and it was Oregon wood and
Oregon wood is American.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: John Cross thought
he had hit a shipwreck but no-one was very interested in his find. Fifty
years later he's back working on the same site as a member of an
archaeological dig to confirm his suspicions that this car park is a
shipwreck grave yard.

JOHN CROSS: Much fun, best job I've been
on in my life actually. I've had some tough jobs in my time you know and
this is about the best I've had. So I'm sort of whistling Dixie you
know.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: And it turns out his hunch was right.

ROSS ANDERSON: This would have gone down is side of the hull so it's a piece of deck that's fallen over on its side.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: And you can see there there's still barnacles on that piece of metal.

ROSS ANDERSON: That's right, yeah, so we know this was in the inter tidal zone at one stage.

NIKKI
WILSON-SMITH: Ross Anderson is the head marine archaeologist at the
West Australian Museum and he's leading the excavation. He has been
fascinated by the stories of American whaling ships wrecked at Bunbury
and says there is no other site quite like this in the world.

ROSS
ANDERSON: As a resource, so with three of them we think in the same
location is absolutely unique. So it's that unique combination of
circumstances where you get material and wrecks and everything and then
it gets sealed up by modern development and coastline changes and that's
resulted in just sealing this as almost like a shipwreck park.

NIKKI
WILSON-SMITH: One of the ships found is a mystery and scientists are
currently testing wood samples to try and work out what it is and while
it's yet to be confirmed, archaeologists believe the other two ships on
site are American whalers wrecked here in the 1800s.

ROSS
ANDERSON: One of them, the Samuel Wright, which is the earliest one, is a
Salem whaler. So the Salem whalers were the first ones that really came
and explored these grounds in Western Australia and then everyone sort
of followed them. So like the gold rush this was like a blubber rush.

NIKKI
WILSON-SMITH: The second ship, the North America, was wrecked here in
1843 as the confused captain tried to outrun a comet. Now the ship's
hull has been uncovered, preserved over time.

ROSS ANDERSON: We
were hoping with the water probing to find wooden structure and ballast
or something like that but to actually get an intact bow structure with
all of that diagnostic information, it was quite, you know, that was a
bit of a fluke. You know, we were looking in the right place but to
actually come right down on that particular piece of structure was
fantastic.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: It was also fantastic for Ray
Parks, a Bunbury surveyor who estimated the location of the wrecks using
historic maps.

RAY PARKS, SURVEYOR: That was 27 years ago so
it's great to see that today they are where I thought they were, where I
positioned them. It was quite traumatic, actually, waiting to see if
something was going to come up and it did so you feel a bit justified.
You feel your work was right.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: After years of
planning, days of digging and hours recording painstaking details, the
archaeologists conducting this dig will simply push the sand back over
the wreck and leave it just as they found it.

VICKI RICHARDS,
CONSERVATION SCIENTIST: If they're in good environmental sort of
condition for preservation of the wreck then we suggest that it stays
there, it gets covered up and hopefully it will be there in the future
when there's more archaeological questions to be answered.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: But locals are disappointed.

RAY
PARKS: In a sense you feel a sense of loss when they get buried again
and you can just say well there are some wrecks under there because they
are a very big part of Bunbury's heritage and I understand there's not
too many American whalers that are still intact in this type around the
world. They were mainly broken up.

NIKKI WILSON-SMITH: While the
community waits to see what the future holds for the car park whalers,
John Cross is happy to find the answer to his own 50 year old puzzle.

JOHN
CROSS: There's probably half a dozen in here so we've just got to wait
and see. It's a shame they're going to have to cover it all up because
they've achieved so much and now they're going to cover it up but I
suppose good for someone else to come along in 50 years and have another
dig, you know.

SCOTT BEVAN: How hard will it be to push that
sand back over the site. Fascinating stuff, terrific story too by Nikki
Wilson-Smith.

Nice to see at least one person also saw enough anomalies in what we're to
believe history and archaeology 'prove', to take up study in archaeology, and
better dig out the truth for themselves, and to freely share with others.

Christopher Doukas, 13,
finds 16th century Portugese
swivel gun on Northern Territory beach
From:AAP

Beachcomber:
Christopher Doukas found this gun, believed to be from the 16th
century, on a beach in Northern Territory. Northern Territory News

A DARWIN boy may help re-write Australia's history after unearthing
what he believes is a 500-year-old Portuguese swivel gun on a Northern
Territory beach.

Christopher Doukas made the discovery at Dundee Beach,
about two hours' drive from Darwin, when tides dipped to exceptional lows
in January 2010, and he could walk out a long way from shore.

The boy, now aged 13, saw the item poking out of mud,
dug it out with his father and took it back to his home.

"As soon as we got it back into Darwin my dad got an angle grinder and
nicked a little bit of it. We saw it was bronze, so we knew it was old,"
Christopher said.

Research on the internet showed the item, about the size of a rifle,
bore a striking resemblance to Portuguese swivel guns, used as
anti-personnel weapons on ships in the 16th Century.

In July last year Christopher's mother, Barbara, alerted staff at the
Darwin Museum to the find, and sent in photos that she was told seemed
to indicate it was the genuine article.

But it has only been in the past few weeks, after speaking to her
local MP, that she has been asked to bring it in for further
examination.

Christopher said a similar item had sold in Britain for 8000 pounds (about $12,000),
and he would be interested in selling the gun to a museum.

Portugal occupied Timor from 1515 until 1975, although it is hotly debated
whether Portuguese explorers made it to Australia, about 700km away.

Early maps from France in the 1500s appear to show part of Northern Australia,
which some have cited as evidence Portuguese explorers arrived during that period,
although that interpretation is controversial.

Local historian Peter Forrest was sceptical Portuguese explorers reached
Northern Australia in the 1500s, but if the find was a genuine swivel gun
from that period it would be grist for the mill for people that believed the theory,
he said.

It still needed to be demonstrated that the location of the find had some
connection with Portuguese contact and the item hadn't washed up or been
left there by antique dealers in the 1800s.

Mr Forrest said there was no independent evidence of any Portuguese contact
with that part of Australia during the 1500s and quite a lot of evidence that there
was no such contact.

"I think it is jumping to a very premature conclusion to link that object with
a Portuguese presence in the top end of the territory of any great antiquity," he said.

"Even if it happened, so what? What were the consequences?" he said.

The earliest authenticated European contact with Australia
was in 1606 by a Dutch vessel Duyfken.
_______________________________________

"no independent evidence", IS, in itself, A GREAT LIE.

There is plenty of, INDEPENDENT OF THE ACCEPTED LINE/LIE EVIDENCE.
It is getting "The Officials" TO RECOGNISE and STOP BURYING IT!

Remember, even WHILE The Australians and Dutch were planning,
The Celebration of Their 400 YEAR Relationship,
kids were still being "OFFICIALLY TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS", that those
early Dutch contacts "are myths"!

Oh, Mr. Forrest, you sound bitter. Actually you sound like a jealous, foot stomping child,
who got beaten to the best prizes, by the poor kids.

But I'll offer an answer to your last question (as the preceding one is too childish),
and suggest that "THE CONSEQUENCES", along with all the other known lies and
insane myths, TAUGHT 'as' History: it helped BLIND THE WORLD, FOR HUNDREDS
of Years, to THE REVELATIONS that GOD TOLD US TO WATCH FOR, and, GAVE

HUNDREDS of Years TO THE BEASTLY, to "TEACH" The World to DENY THE TRUTH
of THE HOLY SPIRIT of GOD, or at the 'very least', HATE AND BLAME HIM, For All
The Evils and Lies of Demon Worshiping Man.

Really, the only controversy left, is how long we have to keep pretending...

Narcissistic Personality Disorder
By Psych Central Staff

http://psychcentral.com/disorders/sx36.htm


Narcissistic Personality Disorder is characterized by a long-standing pattern of grandiosity (either in fantasy or actual behavior), an overwhelming need for admiration, and usually a complete lack of empathy toward others. People with this disorder often believe they are of primary importance in everybody's life or to anyone they meet. While this pattern of behavior may be appropriate for a king in 16th Century England, it is generally considered inappropriate for most ordinary people today.

People with narcissistic personality disorder often display snobbish, disdainful, or patronizing attitudes. For example, an individual with this disorder may complain about a clumsy waiter's "rudeness" or "stupidity" or conclude a medical evaluation with a condescending evaluation of the physician.

In laypeople terms, someone with this disorder may be described simply as a "narcissist" or as someone with "narcissism." Both of these terms generally refer to someone with narcissistic personality disorder.

Symptoms of Narcissistic Personality Disorder
In order for a person to be diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) they must meet five or more of the following symptoms:

•Has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
•Is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
•Believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
•Requires excessive admiration
•Has a very strong sense of entitlement, e.g., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
•Is exploitative of others, e.g., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
•Lacks empathy, e.g., is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
•Is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
•Regularly shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

Characteristics of Narcissistic Women

http://www.livestrong.com/article/72413-characteristics-narcissistic-women/


Women who are narcissistic think about themselves before others and act as if the world revolves around them. Women who have narcissistic personality disorder also always put themselves first; however, the personality disorder affects their lives occupationally and socially. Other people are turned off by women with narcissistic personality disorder due to their lack of empathy, inability to relate to others, sense of grandiosity and arrogant behaviors and attitude.

Self-Centered
Many people prioritize themselves and sometimes act self-centered. Women who are narcissistic almost always act self-centered and have a hard time understanding why they can't maintain long-term relationships with girlfriends or maintain romantic relationships. They will blame relationship problems on others instead of taking any responsibility. For instance, if a woman who has a narcissistic personality disorder gets married and has children, she'll put her wishes and needs above those of her husband and children. She might spend money to buy herself designer clothes while her husband shops at consignment stores. She may get her nails and hair done instead of taking her daughter to ballet lessons.

Sponsored Links Attention-Seeking Behavior
Women who are narcissistic need all eyes to be on them and they will do almost anything to make sure the attention is on them. A woman who's narcissistic will interrupt people in the middle of a conversation to turn the subject to herself. She might make her stories seem more dramatic. For instance, she might tell a group of people that her sister is in the hospital due to an almost fatal accident to gain sympathy, when her sister really went to the hospital for a broken arm.

A narcissistic woman might dress provocatively to get the attention of men and talk herself up when meeting a potential date. She might tell him that she runs her entire company or donates her extra time on the weekend to charity when she really doesn't. As long as she's getting undivided attention, she's happy.

Lack of Empathy
Lack of empathy leads to many social problems. When women can't relate to others, it impacts their ability to have meaningful relationships and can also cause problems in the workplace. For instance, a woman with a narcissistic personality disorder has a hard time reading social cues and responding to them. She might be flippant with someone who is sad or antagonize someone who is already angry.

Criticism
A woman who is narcissistic does not respond well to criticism, even if the criticism is thoughtful and constructive, but she's quick to criticize others. This can significantly impact her occupationally. A woman with this issue probably becomes angry and possible defiant when criticized by peers, supervisors, family and friends. She may respond with anger even though she feels deep embarrassment or shame.

and Yahweh will make their scalps bald.”

32 This very day he will halt at Nob. He shakes his hand at the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

Is 12:6
Cry aloud and shout, you inhabitant of Zion; for the Holy One of Israel is great in the midst of you!”

Is 14:32
What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That Yahweh has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people will take refuge.

Is 16:1
Send the lambs for the ruler of the land from Selah to the wilderness, to the mountain of the daughter of Zion.

Is 18:7
In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.

Is 24:23
Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed; for Yahweh of Armies will reign on Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem; and before his elders will be glory.

Is 28:16
Therefore thus says the Lord Yahweh, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

Is 29:8
It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn’t satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.

Is 30:19
For the people will dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. You will weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the voice of your cry. When he hears you, he will answer you.

Is 31:4,9
4 For thus says Yahweh to me,
“As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey,
if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him,
will not be dismayed at their voice,
nor abase himself for the noise of them,
so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

and his princes will be afraid of the banner,”
says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion,
and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Is 33:5,14,20
5 Yahweh is exalted, for he dwells on high.
He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid.
Trembling has seized the godless ones.
Who among us can live with the devouring fire?
Who among us can live with everlasting burning?
20 Look at Zion, the city of our appointed festivals.
Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet habitation,
a tent that won’t be removed.
Its stakes will never be plucked up,
nor will any of its cords be broken.

Is 34:8
For Yahweh has a day of vengeance,
a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.

and come with singing to Zion;

Is 40:9
You who tell good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.
You who tell good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with strength.

Is 51:3,11,16
3 For Yahweh has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Yahweh; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
11 The ransomed of Yahweh shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Is 52:1,2,7,8
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.

7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

Jr 6:2,23
2 The comely and delicate one, the daughter of Zion, will I cut off.

Jr 8:19
Behold, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: isn’t Yahweh in Zion? Isn’t her King in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?

Jr 9:19
For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, How are we ruined! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because they have cast down our dwellings.

Jr 14:19

Lm 1:4,6,17
4 The ways of Zion do mourn, because none come to the solemn assembly;
all her gates are desolate, her priests do sigh:
her virgins are afflicted, and she herself is in bitterness.
6 From the daughter of Zion all her majesty is departed:
her princes are become like harts that find no pasture,
they are gone without strength before the pursuer.
17 Zion spreads forth her hands; there is none to comfort her;
Yahweh has commanded concerning Jacob, that those who are around him should be his adversaries:
Jerusalem is among them as an unclean thing.

Lm 2:1,4,6,8,10,13,18
1 How has the Lord covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in his anger!
He has cast down from heaven to the earth the beauty of Israel,
And hasn’t remembered his footstool in the day of his anger.
4 He has bent his bow like an enemy, he has stood with his right hand as an adversary,
Has killed all that were pleasant to the eye:
In the tent of the daughter of Zion he has poured out his wrath like fire.
6 He has violently taken away his tabernacle, as if it were of a garden; he has destroyed his place of assembly:
Yahweh has caused solemn assembly and Sabbath to be forgotten in Zion,
Has despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest.
8 Yahweh has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion;
He has stretched out the line, he has not withdrawn his hand from destroying;
He has made the rampart and wall to lament; they languish together.
10 The elders of the daughter of Zion sit on the ground, they keep silence;
They have cast up dust on their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth:
The virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground.
13 What shall I testify to you? what shall I liken to you, daughter of Jerusalem?
What shall I compare to you, that I may comfort you, virgin daughter of Zion?
For your breach is great like the sea: who can heal you?
18 Their heart cried to the Lord:
wall of the daughter of Zion, let tears run down like a river day and night;
Give yourself no respite; don’t let the apple of your eye cease.

Lm 4:2,11,22
2 The precious sons of Zion, comparable to fine gold,
How are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter!
11 Yahweh has accomplished his wrath, he has poured out his fierce anger;
He has kindled a fire in Zion, which has devoured its foundations.
22 The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, daughter of Zion; he will no more carry you away into captivity:
He will visit your iniquity, daughter of Edom; he will uncover your sins.

Lm 5:11,18
11 They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
18 For the mountain of Zion, which is desolate:
The foxes walk on it.

Jl 2:1,15,23,32
1 Blow the trumpet in Zion,
and sound an alarm in my holy mountain!
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble,
for the day of Yahweh comes,
for it is close at hand:
15 Blow the trumpet in Zion!
Sanctify a fast.
Call a solemn assembly.
23 “Be glad then, you children of Zion,
and rejoice in Yahweh, your God;
for he gives you the former rain in just measure,
and he causes the rain to come down for you,
the former rain and the latter rain,
as before.
32 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh shall be saved;
for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will be those who escape,
as Yahweh has said,
and among the remnant, those whom Yahweh calls.

Jl 3:16,17,21
16 Yahweh will roar from Zion,
and thunder from Jerusalem;
and the heavens and the earth will shake;
but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people,
and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
17 “So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God,
dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain.
Then Jerusalem will be holy,
and no strangers will pass through her any more.
21 I will cleanse their blood,
that I have not cleansed:
for Yahweh dwells in Zion.”

Am 1:2
He said:
“Yahweh will roar from Zion,
and utter his voice from Jerusalem;
and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn,
and the top of Carmel will wither.”

Am 6:1
Woe to those who are at ease in Zion,
and to those who are secure on the mountain of Samaria,
the notable men of the chief of the nations,
to whom the house of Israel come!

Ob 1:17,21
17 But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions.
21 Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh’s.

Mc 1:13
Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish.
She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion;
For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

Mc 3:10,12
10 They build up Zion with blood,
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
12 Therefore Zion for your sake will be plowed like a field,
and Jerusalem will become heaps of rubble,
and the mountain of the temple like the high places of a forest.

Mc 4:2,7,8,10,11,13
2 Many nations will go and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
and to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion will go forth the law,
and the word of Yahweh from Jerusalem;
7 and I will make that which was lame a remnant,
and that which was cast far off a strong nation:
and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8 You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion,
to you it will come,
yes, the former dominion will come,
the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
10 Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, daughter of Zion,
like a woman in travail;
for now you will go forth out of the city,
and will dwell in the field,
and will come even to Babylon.
There you will be rescued.
There Yahweh will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Now many nations have assembled against you, that say,
“Let her be defiled,
and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
13 Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion;
for I will make your horn iron,
and I will make your hoofs brass;
and you will beat in pieces many peoples:
and I will devote their gain to Yahweh,
and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.

Zp 3:14,16
14 Sing, daughter of Zion! Shout, Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, daughter of Jerusalem.
16 In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, “Don’t be afraid, Zion. Don’t let your hands be slack.”

Zc 1:14,17
14 So the angel who talked with me said to me, “Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.
17 “Proclaim further, saying, ‘Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “My cities will again overflow with prosperity, and Yahweh will again comfort Zion, and will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

Zc 2:7,10
7 ‘Come, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.’
10 Sing and rejoice, daughter of Zion; for, behold, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,’ says Yahweh.

Zc 8:2,3
2 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I am jealous for her with great wrath.”
3 Thus says Yahweh: “I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called ‘The City of Truth;’ and the mountain of Yahweh of Armies, ‘The Holy Mountain.’”

Zc 9:9,13
9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!
Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your king comes to you!
He is righteous, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding on a donkey,
even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me.
I have filled the bow with Ephraim;
and I will stir up your sons, Zion,
against your sons, Greece,
and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.


Jerusalem:

The nations will come to Jerusalem


Is 2:2,3
2 It shall happen in the latter days, that the mountain of Yahweh’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains,
and shall be raised above the hills;
and all nations shall flow to it.
3 Many peoples shall go and say,
“Come, let’s go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths.”

Is 18:7
In that time, a present will be brought to Yahweh of Armies from a people tall and smooth, even from a people awesome from their beginning onward, a nation that measures out and treads down, whose land the rivers divide, to the place of the name of Yahweh of Armies, Mount Zion.

Is 60:3,5,10,11,14
3 Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you.
10 Foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall minister to you: for in my wrath I struck you, but in my favor have I had mercy on you.
11 Your gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring to you the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive.
14 The sons of those who afflicted you shall come bending to you; and all those who despised you shall bow themselves down at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Is 66:12,18
12 For thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you shall suck of it; you shall be borne on the side, and shall be dandled on the knees.
18 For I know their works and their thoughts: the time comes, that I will gather all nations and languages; and they shall come, and shall see my glory.

Jr 3:17
At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Yahweh; and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of Yahweh, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

Mc 4:2
Many nations will go and say,
“Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahweh,
and to the house of the God of Jacob;
and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths.”

Zc 8:22,23
22 Yes, many peoples and strong nations will come to seek Yahweh of Armies in Jerusalem, and to entreat the favor of Yahweh.”
23 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “In those days, ten men will take hold, out of all the languages of the nations, they will take hold of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, ‘We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”

Zc 14:16-19
16 It will happen that everyone who is left of all the nations that came against Jerusalem will go up from year to year to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, and to keep the feast of tents.
17 It will be, that whoever of all the families of the earth doesn’t go up to Jerusalem to worship the King, Yahweh of Armies, on them there will be no rain.
18 If the family of Egypt doesn’t go up, and doesn’t come, neither will it rain on them. This will be the plague with which Yahweh will strike the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of tents.
19 This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations that don’t go up to keep the feast of tents.
