Zec Zechariah, chapter Book of Zechariah, chapter 2
Then I looked again and I saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. Ezk 40:3; Rev 21:15“Where are you going?” I asked him.
“I'm going to Jerusalem to measure its width and length,” he replied. The angel I was talking to came forward and another angel came to meet him and told him, “Run, and tell the young man2:4. Referring to the man with the measuring line mentioned in 2:1. that Jerusalem will have so many people and farm animals that it will be too big to have walls.” Isa 60:11; Rom 8:31; Rev 21:24The Lord declares, I myself will be a wall of fire all around the city, and I will be the glory inside it.
Run! Run! Run away from the northern land, says the Lord, because I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven. Isa 52:11; Jer 51:45; Rev 18:4Run away, people of Zion! All of you who live in Babylon must escape. For this is what the Lord Almighty said: Afterwards the glorious Lord2:8. “Afterwards the glorious Lord”: Hebrew unclear. Literally, “after glory.” sent me against the nations that plundered you—for those who touch you touch the apple of his eye. Deu 32:10; Psa 17:8I will raise my hand against them and their former slaves will plunder them. Then you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me.2:9. “Me.” Zechariah is referring to himself, and saying that the fulfillment of this prophecy will confirm the truth of his message.
Sing in celebration, people of Zion, for I am coming to live with you, declares the Lord. Isa 12:6; Ezk 37:27Many nations will become believers2:11. “Become believers”: literally, “join themselves.” in the Lord on that day, and they shall be my people. I will live among you, and you will know the Lord Almighty has sent me to you. Isa 11:10; Zep 2:11The people of Judah will be the Lord's special people in the holy land, and he will once again choose Jerusalem as his special city. Zec 1:17; Zec 3:2Be silent before the Lord, everyone, for he has risen from the holy place where he lives.Hab 2:20; Zep 1:7
