Ezekiel 36:16-38

16 And the Word of YAHUVEH was to me, saying,
17 Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt on their land, they even defiled it by their ways and by their doings. As the defilement of woman’s impurity, their way was before Me.
18 So I poured out My fury on them, because of the blood that they had poured out on the land, and for their idols by which they defiled it.
19 And I scattered them among the nations, and they were sown among all the earth; I judged them by their way and by their doings.
20 And when they entered into the nations, there where they went, they even profaned My holy name, by saying to them, These are the people of YAHUVEH, and they are gone out of His land.
21 But I had pity for My holy name which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, there where they went1.
22 Therefore, say to the house of Israel, So says Adonai YAHUVEH: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but only for My holy name which you profaned among the nations, there where you went.
23 And I will sanctify My great name which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned among them. And the nations shall know that I am YAHUVEH, declares Adonai YAHUVEH, when I am sanctified in you, in their eyes.
24 For I will take you from the nations and gather you out of all the lands and bring you into your land2.
25 Then I will sprinkle pure waters on you, and you shall be purified. I will cleanse you from all your defilement and from all your idols3.
26 And I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. And I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give to you a heart of flesh. (Jer 31:31-34)
27 And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you shall keep My judgments and do them. (Joel 2:28)
28 And you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be a people to Me, and I will be Elohim to you.
29 I will also save you from all your defilements, and I will call for grain and increase it, and I will not put a famine on you. (Joel 2:23-26)
30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, in order that you will not any more receive the disgrace of famine among the nations.
31 And you will remember your evil ways and your doings that were not good, and you will despise yourselves in your own eyes for your iniquities and for your abominations.
32 Let it be known to you that I am not doing this for your sake, states Adonai YAHUVEH. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: In the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the wastes shall be built. (Lev 16:30, Is 49:8, Is 58:12)
34 And the desolated land shall be cultivated, rather than being a ruin in the eyes of all passing by.
35 And they shall say, This land that was desolated has become like the garden of Eden. And the wasted and desolated and razed cities are fortified and inhabited. (Joel 2:3, Is 51:3)
36 And the nations left all around you shall know that I, YAHUVEH, built the razed places and planted that which was desolated. I, YAHUVEH have spoken it and will do it.
37 So says Adonai YAHUVEH: Yet for this I will be sought by the house of Israel, to act for them. I will increase them with men like a flock.
38 Like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, so the wasted cities shall be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am YAHUVEH1. (Ps 122:3-4)

Mark 9:1-10

1 And He said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some of those standing here who in no way shall taste of death until they see the kingdom of YAHUVEH coming in power.
2 And after six days YAHUSHUA takes along Peter and Jacob and John, and leads them into a high mount apart, alone. And He was transfigured before their eyes.
3 And His clothes became shining, very white like snow, so much that the sons of men are not able to make this white.
4 And Elijah with Moses was seen by them, and they were speaking with YAHUSHUA.
5 And answering, Peter said to YAHUSHUA, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and, Let us make three booths, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.
6 For he did not know what he was saying, for they were in fear.
7 And a cloud was overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is My Son, the Beloved; 1 hear Him.
8 And suddenly, having looked around, they saw no one any longer, but YAHUSHUA alone with themselves.
9 And as they were coming down from the mount, He commanded them that they should tell no one what they saw, except when the Son of Man should rise from the dead.
10 And they held the saying in themselves, and were inquiring what this saying is “when He is raised from the dead.”
