Baruch 5:5
Deuterocanon
1 Take off the garment of your sorrow and affliction, O Jerusalem, and put on forever the beauty of the glory from God. 2 Put on the robe of the righteousness that comes from God; put on your head the diadem of the glory of the Everlasting; 3 for God will show your splendor everywhere under heaven. 4 For God will give you evermore the name, "Righteous Peace, Godly Glory." 5 Arise, O Jerusalem, stand upon the height; look toward the east, and see your children gathered from west and east at the word of the Holy One, rejoicing that God has remembered them.

Luke 13:29
New Testament
26 Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ 27 But he will reply, ‘I don’t know where you come from! Go away from me, all you evildoers!’ 28 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth when you see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves thrown out. 29 Then people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and take their places at the banquet table in the kingdom of God. 30 But indeed, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”

Notes and References
"... The description of the fullness of grain, manna, and wine completes and explains the meaning of the meal, associated with the beginning of the appearance of Messiah, for whose sake the Leviathan and Behemoth have been preserved. This Messianic feast is based upon the last supper, in which the Lord is blessed by means of bread and wine, symbolizing the new covenant. This meal is the realization of Jesus’ promise, given at the Last Supper, that he would no longer drink of the fruit of the vine “until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of heaven.” (Mark 14:22-25; Matthew 8:11; 26:29 ... Luke 13:29; 14:15; 22:16-18) The kingdom of heaven is here the kingdom of paradise expected upon the second coming of Jesus, expressed in the eucharistic sacrament: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes” (1 Corinthians 11:26). The anticipation of the second coming also appears in several places in Aramaic (1 Corinthians 16:22; Revelation 22:17–20; Didache 10.6). This is an ancient prayer, recited at the ceremony of the holy meal associated with the day of Jesus’ resurrection. Just as on the day of the resurrection Christ appeared to his disciples at the time of the meal, so too will he reappear at the meal to take place at the End: “therefore Maranatha is above all a prayer that belongs to the Eucharist.” ..."
