Matt 1:23 a virgin     
23  a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

Eccl 3:14,15     
14  I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
15  That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Ezek 12:21-25 the word    
21  the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
22  Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth?
23  Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord God; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24  For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel.
25  For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord God.

Neh 8:1,9-13     
1  And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that was before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.

9  ¶ And Nehemiah, which is the Tirshatha, and Ezra the priest the scribe, and the Levites that taught the people, said unto all the people, This day is holy unto the Lord your God; mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the words of the law.
10  Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
11  So the Levites stilled all the people, saying, Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.
12  And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.
13  ¶ And on the second day were gathered together the chief of the fathers of all the people, the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, even to understand the words of the law.

Ps 46:1-2,4-7 (to .),9-11 (to .)     
1  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
2  Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

4  There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.
5  God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.
6  The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.
7  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

9  He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.
10  Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
11  The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge.

John 12:23 Jesus,31,32     
23  Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.

31  Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.
32  And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

Heb 4:12 the word     
12  the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Matt 4:16-25     
16  The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17  ¶ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18  ¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19  And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20  And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21  And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
22  And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23  ¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24  And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25  And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Rom 13:11-13 now it (to ;),13 not in strife,14     
11  now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12  The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
13  Let us walk honestly, as in the day;

13  not in strife and envying.
14  But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Mark 13:33-37     
33  Take ye heed, watch and pray: for ye know not when the time is.
34  For the Son of man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch.
35  Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning:
36  Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
37  And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

Ps 116:12-14   
12  What shall I render unto the Lord for all his benefits toward me?

Rom 8:1,2     
1  There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
2  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

I John 3:2,3     
2  Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
3  And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.

Rom 5:11 we also     
11  we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

Rev 12:7-10 there     
7  there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels,
8  And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9  And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10  And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.

Matt 28:18-20 (to .)     
18  And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19  ¶ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.

Ps 139:1-3,5,6     
1  O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.
2  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
3  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

5  Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.


Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures
39:18 -25    
18     "Now," cried the apostle, "is the accepted time; be-
   hold, now is the day of salvation," ? meaning, not that
   now men must prepare for a future-world salva- Present
21 tion, or safety, but that now is the time in which salvation
   to experience that salvation in spirit and in life. Now is
   the time for so-called material pains and material pleas-
24 ures to pass away, for both are unreal, because impossible
   in Science.

92:32     
       Do you say the time has not yet come in which to
 1 recognize Soul as substantial and able to control the
   body? Remember Jesus, who nearly nineteen centuries
 3 ago demonstrated the power of Spirit and said, The age's
   "He that believeth on me, the works that I privilege
   do shall he do also," and who also said, "But the hour
 6 cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall
   worship the Father in spirit and in truth." "Behold,
   now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of sal-
 9 vation," said Paul.

473:7-10    
               Christ the
                                                       The God- ideal Truth
   principle is omnipresent and omnipotent. God is every-
 9 where, and nothing apart from Him is present or has
   power.

410:4-7    
       "This is life eternal," says Jesus, ? is, not shall be;
   and then he defines everlasting life as a present knowledge
 6 of his Father and of himself, ? the knowledge Life eternal
   of Love, Truth, and Life.  and present

326:16     
       The purpose and motive to live aright can be gained
   now. This point won, you have started as you should.
18 You have begun at the numeration-table of Christian
   Science, and nothing but wrong intention can hinder your
   advancement. Working and praying with true motives,
21 your Father will open the way. "Who did hinder you,
   that ye should not obey the truth?"

xi:9-18   
 9     The physical healing of Christian Science results
   now, as in Jesus' time, from the operation of divine
   Principle, before which sin and disease lose their real-
12 ity in human consciousness and disappear as naturally
   and as necessarily as darkness gives place to light and
   sin to reformation. Now, as then, these mighty works
15 are not supernatural, but supremely natural. They are
   the sign of Immanuel, or "God with us," ? a divine
   influence ever present in human consciousness and re-
18 peating itself, coming now as was promised aforetime,

573:3-9,13-18 (to .)     
 3 The Revelator was on our plane of existence, while yet
   beholding what the eye cannot see, ? that which is in-
   visible to the uninspired thought. This testimony of Holy
 6 Writ sustains the fact in Science, that the heavens and
   earth to one human consciousness, that consciousness
   which God bestows, are spiritual, while to another, the
 9 unillumined human mind, the vision is material.

       Accompanying this scientific consciousness was an-
   other revelation, even the declaration from heaven, su-
15 preme harmony, that God, the divine Principle Nearness
   of harmony, is ever with men, and they are of Deity
   His people. Thus man was no longer regarded as a mis-
18 erable sinner, but as the blessed child of God.

571:15-19     
15     At all times and under all circumstances, overcome
   evil with good. Know thyself, and God will supply
   the wisdom and the occasion for a victory The armor
18 over evil. Clad in the panoply of Love, of divinity
   human hatred cannot reach you.

494:30-3     
30     Our Master cast out devils (evils) and healed the sick.
   It should be said of his followers also, that they cast fear
   and all evil out of themselves and others and heal the sick.

   governed by God. Truth casts out error now Followers

568:25-30   
                                       What shall we say of the mighty
   conquest over all sin? A louder song, sweeter Paean of
27 than has ever before reached high heaven, jubilee
   now rises clearer and nearer to the great heart of Christ;
   for the accuser is not there, and Love sends forth her
30 primal and everlasting strain.

14:6-18    
 6              To be "present with the Lord" is to have, not
   mere emotional ecstasy or faith, but the actual demon-
   stration and understanding of Life as revealed in
 9 Christian Science. To be "with the Lord" is to be in
   obedience to the law of God, to be absolutely governed
   by divine Love, ? by Spirit, not by matter.
12     Become conscious for a single moment that Life and
   intelligence are purely spiritual, ? neither in nor of
   matter, ? and the body will then utter no Spiritualized
15 complaints. If suffering from a belief in consciousness
   sickness, you will find yourself suddenly well. Sorrow
   is turned into joy when the body is controlled by spir-
18 itual Life, Truth, and Love.

306:25    
                 Undisturbed amid the jarring testimony of the
   material senses, Science, still enthroned, is unfolding
27 to mortals the immutable, harmonious, divine Principle,
    ? is unfolding Life and the universe, ever present and
   eternal.

224:4-7    
       As the crude footprints of the past disappear from the
   dissolving paths of the present, we shall better understand
 6 the Science which governs these changes, and shall plant
   our feet on firmer ground.

285:3   
 3                                    This Science of being obtains not
   alone hereafter in what men call Paradise, but here
   and now; it is the great fact of being for time and
 6 eternity.
