A man with a line in his hand
2
📚I lifted up my eyes again, and looked and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 📚Then I said, “Where are you going?” And he said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what its width and length are”.3 📚And, suddenly, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel came out to meet him, 4 📚And said to him, “Run, speak to this young man 📖, saying, ‘Jerusalem will be inhabited like towns without walls 📖 because of the many men and cattle in it. 5 📚For I, says the LORD, will be a wall of fire 📖 all around her, and will be the glory 📖 in her midst’”.
6 📚“Up, and away! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD, for I have spread 📖 you out to the four winds 📖 of the heaven”, says the LORD.
7 📚“Up, O Zion 📖! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter 📖 of Babylon”. 8 📚For thus says the LORD of hosts: After glory he has sent me 📖 to the nations who have plundered you. For he who touches you touches the apple of his eye 📖. 9 📚For, see, I will raise my hand over them, and they will become plunder to their servants. And you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me 📖.
2:9 He will cause governments to fall and the oppressed to have the upper hand over their former rulers.⚜
10 📚“Sing and rejoice 📖, O daughter of Zion, for, see, I am coming 📖, and I will dwell in your midst 📖”, says the LORD. 11 📚“And many nations 📖 will be joined to the LORD in that day, and will be my people; and I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me 📖 to you. 12 📚And the LORD will inherit Judah 📖, his portion in the holy land, and will choose 📖 Jerusalem again. 13 📚Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation”.
2:1-13 This third vision has to do with the future greatness of Jerusalem and Judah.⚜
