"Give ear, O ye heavens, and I will speak and hear O earth, the words of my mouth. My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as showers upon the grass; because I will publish THE NAME of THE LORD. Ascribe ye greatness unto our GOD. HE is THE ROCK, HIS work is perfect; for all of HIS ways are Judgement; a GOD of truth and without iniquity, Just and Upright is HE." Deuteronomy 32: 1-4

"That I may publish with the voice of thanks giving, and tell of all THY wondrous works [O GOD] Psalms 26:7

"And they found written the The Law which THE LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel, should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month; and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, 'go forth unto the mount and fetch olive branches and pine branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths as it is written, so the people went forth and brought them and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in the Courts of THE HOUSE OF GOD, and in the street, of the water gate, and in the street of the gate of E-phra-im. And all the congregation of them that were come again out of captivity made booths, and set under the booths for since the days of  Jesh-u-a the son of Nun, unto that day, had not the children of Israel done so. And there was great gladness. Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in THE BOOK of THE LAW of GOD. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the manner." Nehemiah 8:

"The Word that THE LORD spake, against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldean by Jeremiah the prophet, '[ declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not; say,"Babylon is taken, [the false god] of bel is confounded, [the false god of ] Mer-o-dach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.  For out of the North there cometh a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate and none shall dwell therein; they shall depart both man and beast. In those days, and in that time, saith THE LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping; they shall go, and seek THE LORD their GOD. They shall ask the way to Zion, with their faces thitherward, saying,'come and let us join ourselves to THE LORD in a perpetual Covenant that shall not be forgotten.  MY people hath been lost sheep; their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on  the mountains; they have gone from mountain to hill; they have forgotten their restingplace.  All that found them have devoured them; and their adversaries said, 'we offend not! because they have sinned against THE LORD, the habitation of justice,even  THE LORD, the hope of their fathers'. Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks. For lo, I WILL raise up and cause to come up to Babylon an assembly of great nations from the North country; and they shall set themselves in array against her; from thence she shall be taken, their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain. And Chal-dea-a shall be a spoil; all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith THE LORD. Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced O ye destroyers of MINE heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls; your mother shall be sore confounded; she that bare you shall be ashamed; behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, a dry land, and a desert. Because of the wrath of THE LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate; every one that goeth by Babylon, shall be astonished, and hiss at her plaques. Put yourselves in array against Babylon round about; all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows, for she hath sinned against THE LORD. Shout against her round about; she hath given her hand; her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down,for it is the Vengeance of THE LORD; take vengeance upon her, [Babylon]. " Jeremiah 50: 1-15a

"IF thou wilt return O Israel saith THE LORD, return unto ME, and if thou wilt put away thine abominations out of MY sight, then shalt thou not remove. And thou shalt swear, 'THE LORD liveth, in truth, in Judgement, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless HIM, and in HIM shall they glory. For thus saith THE LORD to the men of Judah and Jerusalem, 'break up your fallow grounds, and sow not among thorns. Circumcise yourselves to THE LORD, ad take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and Jerusalem; lest MY fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it; because of the evil of your doings. Declare ye in Judah and publish in Jerusalem and say, 'blow ye the trumpet in the land; cry, gather together, and say, 'assemble yourselves and let us go into the defenced cities. Set up the Standard toward Zion; retire, stay not; for I will bring evil from the North and a great destruction. For the lion is come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the Gentiles is on his way; he is gone forth from his place to make thy land desolate; and thy cities shall be laid waste, without an inhabitant. For this gird you with sackcloth, lament and howl, for the fierce anger of THE LORD  is not turned back from us. And it shall come to pass in that day, saith THE LORD, that the heart of the King shall perish, and the heart of the Princes; and the Priests shall be astonished and the prophets shall wonder. Then said, I, 'AH LORD GOD! surely THOU hast greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem saying, 'ye shall have peace, whereas the sword reacheth unto the soul. " Jeremiah 4: 1-10

"For thus saith THE LORD, 'sing with gladness, for Jacob,and shout among the Chief of the nations,:praise ye, praise ye, and say "O LORD save THY people, the remnant of Israel". Behold, I will bring them from the North country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind, and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together; a great company shall return hither. They shall come with weeping and with supplications will I lead them; I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble; for I AM a FATHER to Israel, and E-phra-im is MY firstborn. Hear the word of THE LORD,  O ye nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, 'he that scattereth Israel, will gather and keep him, as a Shepherd doth his flock. For THE LORD hath redeemed Israel, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than he. Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together for the goodness of THE LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd, and their soul shall be as a watered garden and they shall not sorrow any more at all. " Jeremiah 31: 7-12 

"How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, 'thy GOD reigneth. Thy watchmen shall lift up the voices, with the voice together shall they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when THE LORD shall bring again Zion." Isaiah 52: 7-8

"Now THE WORD of THE LORD came unto Jonah, the son of A-mit-tai,saying, 'arise, go to Nin-e-vah and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before ME. . . and THE WORD of THE LORD came unto Jonah the second time saying, 'arise, go unto Nin-e-vah, and and preach unto it the preaching that I bid thee. So Jonah arose and went unto Nin-e-vah, according to THE WORD of THE LORD. Now Nin-e-vah was an exceeding great City of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the City a day's journey and he cried and said, 'yet forty days and Nin-e-vah shall be overthrown." So the people of Nin-e-vah believed GOD and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth from the greatest of them even unto the least of them. For word came unto the King of Nin-e-vah and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe from him and covered him with sackcloth and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nin-e-vah, by the decree of the King and his nobles, saying, 'let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock taste anything; let them not feed nor drink water; but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and cry mightily unto GOD; yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if GOD will turn and repent, and turn away from HIS fierce anger,that we perish not? And GOD saw their works,that they had turned from their evil way, and GOD repented of the evil, that HE had said that HE would do unto them; and HE did it not." Jonah 1: 1-2, 3:1-10

"And JESUS came and spake unto them, saying, 'all power is given unto ME in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptising them in THE NAME of THE FATHER, and of THE SON [JESUS] and of THE HOLY GHOST; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, 'and lo, I AM with you always, even unto the end of the world."

JESUS said, ' for nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be earthquakes in diverse places, and there shall be famines and troubles. These are the beginnings of sorrows. But take heed to yourselves; for they shall deliver you up to Councils and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten; and ye shall be brought before Rulers and Kings for MY sake; for a testimony against them. And the gospel must first be published among all nations." Mark 13: 8-10

JESUS said, 'beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that shall not be revealed; neither hid that shall not be known. Therefore whatsoever ye have spoken in darkness shall be heard in the light; and that which ye have have spoken in the ear in closets shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. " Luke 12: 1c-3

"Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, 'it was necessary that THE WORD of GOD should first have been spoken to you [Jews]*  ; but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo,we turn to the Gentiles. For so hath THE LORD commanded us, saying, " I have set thee a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth." And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified THE WORD of THE LORD; and as many were ordained to eternal life [who] believed. And THE WORD of THE LORD was published throughout all the world." Acts 13: 46-49
