I am with thee even unto the end of thy days, for thou shalt deliver my people from bondage, even Israel my chosen. And it came to pass as the voice was speaking he cast his eyes, and beheld the earth, yea even all of it, and there was not a particle of it which he did not behold, discerning it by the Spirit of God, and he beheld the inhabitants thereof, and there was not a soul which he beheld not, and he discerned by the Spirit of God, and the number thereof was numberless great, even numberless, As the sand upon the sea shore.
