Zechariah 2:5 – resting places
Dear Jehovah God,
יטוַיָּ֤שָׁב אַבְרָהָם֙ אֶל־נְעָרָ֔יו וַיָּקֻ֛מוּ וַיֵּֽלְכ֥וּ יַחְדָּ֖ו אֶל־בְּאֵ֣ר שָׁ֑בַע וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב אַבְרָהָ֖ם בִּבְאֵ֥ר שָֽׁבַע:
Abraham returned to his young men, and together they set out and went to Beersheba. Abraham remained for a short time in Beersheba.
Zechariah 2:5 – resting places
For You, Jehovah, are a wall of fire around her, and You are the glory in her midst.
Isaiah 4:5; 26:1; 60:18 – wall of fire
Then You Jehovah create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory is a canopy.
In this day this song is sung in the land of Judah: we have a strong city; You set up walls and ramparts for security.
Violence is not heard again in our land, nor devastation or destruction within our borders; but we call our walls salvation, and our gates praise.
Haggai 2:9; Zechariah 2:10, 11 – glory in her midst
The latter glory of this house is greater than the former, Jehovah of hosts, and in this place You give peace, Jehovah of hosts.
Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold You are coming and You dwell in our mist, Jehovah. Many nations join themselves to You Jehovah in this day and become Your people. Then You dwell in our midst, and we know that You Jehovah of hosts send Him to us.
Intention of this prayer: wall of fire, and glory in her midst.
For You, Jehovah, are a wall of fire to her, and You are the glory in her midst. Then You Jehovah create over the whole area of Mount Zion and over her assemblies a cloud by day, even smoke, and the brightness of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory is a canopy. In this day this song sings in the land of Judah, Your Remnant: YFA have a strong city; You set up walls and ramparts for salvation. Violence not heard again in YFA’ land, nor devastation or destruction within YFA’ borders; but YFA call YFA’ walls salvation, and YFA’ gates praise.
The latter glory of this house is greater than the former, Jehovah of hosts, and in this place, You give peace, Jehovah of hosts. Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold You are coming and You dwell in YFA’ mist, Jehovah. Many nations join themselves to You Jehovah in this day and become Your people. Then You dwell in YFA’ midst, and YFA know that You Jehovah of hosts send YWYS to YFA.
You are Immutable. Of old You founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. Even they will perish, but You endure; and all of them will war out like a garment; like clothing You will change them and they will be changed. But You are the same, and Your years will not come to an end. For You, Jehovah, do not change; therefore we are not consumed. Jesus Christ, YWYS, is the same yesterday and today and forever. You Jehovah God are always the same in Your nature, Your character, and Your will and You never change and You can never be made to change.
You are Just. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; lovingkindness and truth go before You. You God Jehovah are not a man, that You should lie, nor a son of man, that You should repent; have You said, and will You not do it? Or have You spoken, and will You not make it good? What shall we say then? There is no injustice with You God Jehovah, is thee? May it never be! You, Jehovah God, are fair in all Your actions. Since You know all every decree is absolutely just.
You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
