[:en]SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 2
“Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the Lord. 11 “Many nations will be joined with the Lord in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. The Lord will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. Be still before the Lord, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.” (Zechariah 2:10-13)
A MAN WITH A MEASURING LINE (vs. 1-13)
Jerusalem was a city without walls, but God was going to build a wall of fire around it. The Lord Almighty will measure Jerusalem as to its width and length. That means God owned the city and had plans for it. There was a glorious future fo Jerusalem.
The Lord Almighty declared that Babylon was destined to fall but Jerusalem would have a new beginning. So why should they stay in a condemned city?
Today believers have to choose whether to stay in in the world or to walk with the Lord.[:]
