"THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS"
Text: Jeremiah 23:6
A PROFOUND PROPHECY II
This prophetic word offers a deeper glimpse about the identity of the King whom God would send! This King would be nothing like any of the kings of the past!
“In His days Judah will be saved,
And Israel will dwell safely;
Now this is His name by which He will be called:
‘THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.'”
Jeremiah 23:6

to all who would believe in Him.
