Oh, let the Son of God enfold you with His spirit and his love.

Let him fill your heart and satisfy your soul.

Oh, let him have the things that hold you,

and his spirit like a dove will descend upon your life and make you home.

Welcome to the Word for today,

featuring the Bible teaching of Pastor Chuck Smith, founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues with the kingdom image, as we pick up in Zachariah, chapter 8, verse 1.

And now with today's message,'s pastor chuck now again the word of the lord came unto zachariah saying thus saith the lord of

host i was jealous for zion with jealousy. I was jealous for her with great fury.

Thus saith the Lord, I am returned unto Zion. I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem,

and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth, and the mountain of the Lord of host the holy mountain so this is a promise of

the future age when God will return when Jesus comes and establishes his kingdom upon the earth

and will reign from Mount Zion over the earth.

Thus saith the Lord of hosts, there shall yet be old men and old women dwelling in the streets of Jerusalem,

and every man with his staff in his hand for very age.

And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets there.

What a picturesque scene of the future kingdom.

When boys and girls are playing together in the streets in complete safety.

Very picturesque. Thus saith the Lord of host. Let me say that God

sees the kingdom age in perfection. And the perfection is when boys and girls can play

together safely in the streets.
