Look up warriors! Your redemption is drawing near. Whether it arrives in one hour or one year or a lifetime, it will not be a day late. Your eyes will see the Great Chief in his beauty and view a land that stretches far into the distance. The former terror will be nothing but a memory lost in the past. You will ask yourself, “Where is that chief officer? Where is the one who took our treasures? Where are the ones who counted the number of our people?”

You will see these arrogant people no more, those people of an obscure speech, with their strange, incomprehensible language. Your eyes will behold Creator’s city, a peaceful abode, a tent that will not be moved; its stakes will never be pulled up, nor any of its ropes broken. There, Creator Yahweh will be our Mighty Chief. It will be like a place of broad flowing rivers and streams. This is the city of our Great Chief and Captain, the place where many tongues and nations will dwell together in perfect unity, each person a celebration of the work of Creator Yahweh’s hands.

Creator Yahweh is our Great Chief; wait patiently for him; it is he who will save us.
