The Promise
Saviour Machine Lyrics

We have traced the movements of the tribes
We have followed the path of the Jewish people

Led in chains from the burning ruins
Forced to leave their destroyed city as captives

Of their beloved city into captivity ...
Taken as prisoners from the city they loved

After two-thousand years of exile and dispersion,
Following 2000 years of exile and scattering

They have returned home gathered out of
They have come back together to their homeland

Many people .. unto the former wasteland ...
A land that was once empty and desolate

They have come to claim their promised land
They have returned to take the land God promised them

And embrace their tragic and prophetic role ...
Accepting the difficult and foretold destiny

Bruised and bleeding from the centuries of suffering,
Damaged and hurt from years of pain

They stand to pay the price of blood once more ...
They will suffer again and pay the ultimate cost

God save Israel, the sword of scarcity hangs over her,
May God protect Israel, as they face an extreme scarcity of resources

The false peace has set the stage, the final holocaust awaits ...
Deceiving tranquility is the prelude to the ultimate disaster

... And when the power of the holy people is completely shattered,
When the strength of the righteous is completely broken

All these things shall be finished ...
Everything will come to an end

When the fullness of the gentiles is finished,
When the number of non-Jews who believe is complete

All Israel shall be saved ...
The Jewish people will be redeemed

"In his eyes we shall rise, arise and measure his temple divine ...
We will rise and be purified before God's holy sanctuary

In his time we are aligned, restore the sanctuary of his Christ ..."
We will be restored and perfected in Christ's holy sanctuary at the appointed time

And in the time when the third temple stands,
When the third temple is built

The hour of redemption is surely at hand ...
The time of salvation is approaching

"Lord, set your sanctuary in our midst forevermore,
God, make your holy residence among us forever

See us as we are lost in the day.
Take notice of us, who are lost

The truth come forth we pray, o Lord
We ask for the unveiling of the truth, Lord

Bring us our eternal destiny, redeem the earth
Save us, and rescue the world from its suffering

From the curse of sin and suffering; we sing 'Maranatha' ..."
Free us from the effects of sin and misery, and we sing 'Maranatha'

"Israel; my people stand and seek my face again ...
Israel, my people, stand and turn to me again

And is shall come to pass that in the days at last
This will happen in the coming days

I will pour out my spirit on flesh, and your sons and
I will pour out my spirit on your people

Daughters shall prophesy .. And young men shall see visions,
Your sons and daughters will prophesy, and young men will have visions

And old men shall dream dreams ... through the eyes of
Old men will have dreams that provide insight

A child, in the time of the seals is the promise revealed ..."
In the time when divine secrets are revealed, a child will bring the promise

"Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet
I will send you Elijah the prophet

Before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord ...
Before the day of the Lord comes

Behold my covenant concealed in time;
Behold my agreement, hidden in time

The law of Moses is revealed ...
The law given to Moses is explained

And I will give power unto my two witnesses ...
I will give power to my two witnesses

"Behold the voice of one is crying in the wilderness;
Someone is calling from the desert

Prepare the way of the Lord ..."
Get ready for the Lord

Behold, the prophet of the law has come
The law's prophet has returned

To you again .. the day of my wrath is born ...
To you, the day of my anger has arrived

Behold the prophets of judgment have come,
See the prophets of judgment

Behold the two anointed ones ...
See the two chosen ones

And they shall prophesy twelve-hundred sixty days ...
They will prophesy for 1260 days

And I saw four angels at the corners of
I saw four angels on the edges of

The earth, holding back the winds,
The earth, stopping the winds

Awaiting command ...
Waiting for orders

Behold divine ascension from the rising of the sun,
God's glorious elevation from the east

The seal of the living God
The symbol of the living God

The voice of one calls ...
Someone cries out

"Do not harm the earth or the sea
Do not hurt the earth or the sea

Until we have sealed the servants
Until we have marked the servants

Of our God upon their foreheads ..."
With the mark of our God on their foreheads

And I heard the number of the sealed;
I heard the number of those marked

One hundred and forty-four thousand revealed;
144,000 were revealed

Twelve thousand times twelve thousand sealed
12,000 multiplied by 12,000 marked

From every tribe of the sons of Israel ...
From each of the tribes of Israel

"... Of the tribe of Judah, of the tribe of Rueben,
...From Judah, Rueben,

Of the tribe of Gad, of the tribe of Asher,
Gad, Asher,

Of the tribe of Nephtali, of the tribe of Manesseh,
Naphtali, Manesseh,

Of the tribe of Simeon, Of the tribe of Levi,
Simeon, Levi,

Of the tribe of Issachar, of the tribe of Zebulon,
Issachar, Zebulon,

Of the tribe of Joseph, of the tribe of Benjamin ...
Joseph, Benjamin

"Rise and measure the temple of God ...
Go and measure God's temple

Protect my beloved city until I come ...
Guard my beloved city until I return

"Weather the storm, weather the storm ..."
Endure the difficulty, and persevere

"O my people who dwell in Zion;
My people who live in Zion,

Do not fear the assyrian ...
Do not be afraid of the Assyrians

He shall be brought into the temple;
He will be brought into the temple

Crowned in desolation ...
A sign of destruction and defeat

When you see the abomination
When you see something detestable

Standing in the holy place;
In God's holy dwelling

Then let those are in Judea
Let the people in Judea

Flee unto the mountains ...
Escape to the mountains

Brace yourself for the holocaust,
Prepare yourself for disaster

Prepare for your final exodus ...
Get ready to leave for the last time

And do not seek his rising kingdom, for it is lost ...
Do not look for his increasing power, for it is defeated

But the kingdom of the true messiah
But the reign of the true messiah

Is eternally come ...
Will exist forever

"Occupy until I come ..."
Stay active until I return
