OUR FATHER WHO

Zacharia chapter 2 verses 6 - 13 says this;

6 “Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. 7 “Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

This passage carries an urgent warning to Zion to escape the land of the North where they were dwelling with the daughters of zion.  The reason they need to evacuate is that the Lord of hosts had been sent by the Glorious One against the nations who had harmed Zion and they would be brought to ruin such that even their slaves would plunder them.

8 For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. 9 For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.

10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst,” says the Lord. 11 “Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you. 12 And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!”

After the nations who harmed Zion were brought down, the Lord of hosts would come to dwell among His people and many nations would be joined to the Lord in that day.

Judah will be taken by the Lord as his inherited possesion and will select Jerusalem as His dwelling place forever and as the Lord occupies Jerusalem, all of humanity will be silent before Him.

Amen.
