“For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her (Jerusalem) a wall
of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her” [Zech.2:5].
In the millennial kingdom, the city will not need walls, for
the Lord Himself will be a wall of fire around it (Is.4:5). Even more
important, God’s glory in the midst of the people will make the whole city a
temple filled with His presence (Ezek.43:1-7). Even now, the presence and glory
of God in the midst of His people is something the church [the born again
believers] must desire and seek above all else. [Note from The Full Life Study
Bible, Donald C. Stamps]
“Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I
will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts
hath sent me unto thee. And the Lord shall inherit Judah
his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again” [Zech.2:11:12].
“That day” refers to the time when Jesus Christ will reign
on earth. Then Zion, the godly remnant of Israel, along
with the Gentiles, will all be God’s people. They will have blessing of God’s
presence in the midst as well as the blessings of God’s choice of Jerusalem as His holy
city. [Note from The Full Life Study Bible, Donald C. Stamps]
Prayer Card: O Lord God of heaven, I want to begin this day You have given

Song: It Is Glory Just To Walk with Him
It is glory just to walk with Him,
It is glory just to walk with Him;
He will guide my steps aright,
Thro’ the vale and o’er the height;
It is glory just to walk with Him.
[Avis M. Burgeson, Sing His Praise]
May the Lord bless you today!
