The last warning can only be
after the second or third. Chance and probability is only given twice or three
times to be sure of no error.
2CO 13:1 This will be my third
visit to you. "Every matter must be established by the testimony of two or
three witnesses." 2 I already gave you a warning when I was with you the
second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those
who sinned earlier or any of the others, 3 since you are demanding proof that
Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is
powerful among you.
HOS 6:1 "Come, let us
return to the LORD.
He has torn us to pieces
but he will heal us;
he has injured us
but he will bind up our wounds.
HOS 6:2 After two days he will revive us;
on the third day he will restore us,
that we may live in his presence.
HOS 6:3 Let us acknowledge the LORD;
let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth."
ZEC 13:8 In the whole
land," declares the LORD,
"two-thirds will be struck down and perish;
yet one-third will be left in it.
ZEC 13:9 This third I will bring into the fire;
I will refine them like silver
and test them like gold.
They will call on my name
and I will answer them;
I will say, `They are my people,'
and they will say, `The LORD is our God.' "
