The Bible Study Podcast, episode 880. Today, the Bible Study podcast continues the study of the book

of Zachariah with Chapter 2.

Welcome to the Bible study podcast. I'm your host, Chris Christensen. We continue on with this book of Zachariah. One of the things that's interesting about the book of Zachariah is it's a little different format than many of these other prophets we have looked at because it's got much more of this imagery.

Much more of the imagery you would find, for instance, in the book of Revelation.

And so it's got these visions that Zachariah is seeing, and we get another one today here.

Zachariah 2, a man with a measuring line that I looked up and there before me was a man with a measuring line in his hand.

I asked, where are you going?

He answered me, to measure Jerusalem to find out how wide

and how long it is. When the angel who was speaking to me was leaving, another angel came to meet me

and said to him, run, tell that young man, Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the

great number of people and animals in it. And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,

declares the Lord. And I will be its glory within. Come, come, flee from the land of the north,

declares the Lord, for I have scattered you to the four winds of heaven, declares the Lord.

Come Zion, escape you who live in daughter Babylon, "'for this is what the Lord Almighty says.

"'After the glorious one has sent me against the nations that have plundered you,

"'for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye,

"'I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.

"'Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. Shout and be glad

daughter Zion, for I am coming and I will live among you, declares the Lord. 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 Zion.
