The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from King James Bible: But wisdom is justified of her children.
MAT 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his
mighty works were done, because they repented not:
MAT 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the
mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon,
they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.
MAT 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and
Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.
MAT 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be
brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in
thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from King James Bible: eat, but ye shall be hungry: behold, my servants shall drink, but ye
shall be thirsty: behold, my servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be
ashamed:
ISA 65:14 Behold, my servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall
cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl for vexation of spirit.
ISA 65:15 And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto my chosen: for
the Lord GOD shall slay thee, and call his servants by another name:
ISA 65:16 That he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself
in the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by
the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because
they are hid from mine eyes.

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from King James Bible: KI1 18:25 And Elijah said unto the prophets of Baal, Choose you one
bullock for yourselves, and dress it first; for ye are many; and call on
the name of your gods, but put no fire under.
KI1 18:26 And they took the bullock which was given them, and they
dressed it, and called on the name of Baal from morning even until noon,
saying, O Baal, hear us. But there was no voice, nor any that answered.
And they leaped upon the altar which was made.
KI1 18:27 And it came to pass at noon, that Elijah mocked them, and
said, Cry aloud: for he is a god; either he is talking, or he is
pursuing, or he is in a journey, or peradventure he sleepeth, and must
be awaked.
