Verse 1

When God returns again, nations will have been divided

along the boundaries that are set by His burning flames.

He’ll appear as the scorching sun, as the Holy One,

He’ll walk in nations like Jehovah did in Jewish tribes.

He will lead man in their lives with a pillar of clouds.

They’ll see His glory, for God appears in the holy lands.

They’ll see God’s righteous day, see His glorious appearance

when God reigns on earth and brings His sons

into glory, into glory.

Chorus

Man will bow down, God’s tabernacle set among them,

erected on the rock of work He’s doing today.

God will smash the altar of filth, build one anew.

Man will serve Him in the temple,

lambs, calves piled on the altar.

You will see the day when God receives great glory,

when He tears down the temple and builds a new one.

You will see His tabernacle coming to earth.

It’ll be the same as when you see Him descending.

Verse 2

God’ll gather the nations anew after crushing them,

He’ll build His temple and set up His altar,

so all may offer sacrifices and serve Him,

devote themselves to His work in the Gentiles’ nations.

They will all be like present day Israelites,

who are all dressed up in their priestly robes and crowns,

and who all have the glory of God in their midst.

His majesty hovers over, abiding with them, abiding with them.

Chorus

Man will bow down, God’s tabernacle set among them,

erected on the rock of work He’s doing today.

God will smash the altar of filth, build one anew.

Man will serve Him in the temple,

lambs, calves piled on the altar.

You will see the day when God receives great glory,

when He tears down the temple and builds a new one.

You will see His tabernacle coming to earth.

It’ll be the same as when you see Him descending.

Bridge

God will work similarly in Gentile nations

as He has done in the land of Israel.

For He will expand His work in Israel

and spread it to the nations of the Gentiles.

Chorus

Man will bow down, God’s tabernacle set among them,

erected on the rock of work He’s doing today.

God will smash the altar of filth, build one anew.

Man will serve Him in the temple,

lambs, calves piled on the altar.

You will see the day when God receives great glory,

when He tears down the temple and builds a new one.

You will see His tabernacle coming to earth.

It’ll be the same as when you see Him descending,

when you see Him descending,

(when you see Him descending, when you see Him descending,)

when you see Him descending.
