"Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord [is] at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things [are] noble, whatever things [are] just, whatever things [are] pure, whatever things [are] lovely, whatever things [are] of good report, if [there is] any virtue and if [there is] anything praiseworthy -- meditate on these things."
Philippians 4:4-8
(The Apostle Paul wrote this letter to the church in Philippi some time after visitting the city, where he was beaten and imprisoned for preaching the good news of Jesus Christ.)

Isaiah 6:1 & 7:13-14; Acts 1:7-11
"In the year of that King Uzziah died [approx. 700 B.C.], I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of His robe filled the temple." ...
"Then Isaiah said, 'Hear now you house of David! [Israel] Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel [which means God with us].'..."
Isaiah 6:1 & 7:13-14
"He [Immanuel] said to them [approx. 31 A.D.]: 'It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father [Lord] has set by His own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.'
After He said this, He was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid Him from their sight.
They were looking intently up into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. 'Men of Galilee,' they said, 'why do you stand here looking in the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.'"
