Zechariah 3:10 – resting places

Dear Jehovah God,

כוַיְהִ֗י אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הַדְּבָרִ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה וַיֻּגַּ֥ד לְאַבְרָהָ֖ם לֵאמֹ֑ר הִ֠נֵּ֠ה יָֽלְדָ֨ה מִלְכָּ֥ה גַם־הִ֛וא בָּנִ֖ים לְנָח֥וֹר אָחִֽיךָ:

          “It was after these words that Abraham was told by God: ‘Milkah, too, has borne sons to your brother, Nachor.’”

Zechariah 3:10 – resting places

          In this day, Jehovah of hosts, every one of us invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree.

1 Kings 4:25; Isaiah 36:16; Micah 4:4 – vine

          So Judah and Israel live in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon.

          Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus says the king of Assyria, to make our peace with him and come out to him, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern.

          Each of them sits under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make them afraid, for the mouth of You Jehovah of hosts speaks.

Intention of this prayer: vine.

          In this day, Jehovah of hosts, every one of us invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree. So, Judah, Your Remnant, and Israel, both humans and angels, live in safety, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan even to Beersheba, all the days of Solomon, YWYS. Do not listen to Hezekiah, YWYS, for thus says the king of Assyria, Satan, to make with him a blessing and come out to him, and eat each of his vine and each of his fig tree and drink each of the waters of his own cistern. Each of them sits under his vine and under his fig tree, with no one to make afraid, for the mouth of You Jehovah of hosts speaks.

You are Omnipotent. It is by Your understanding that the hawk soars, stretching his wings toward the south. It is at Your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high. On the cliff he dwells and lodges, upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place. From there he spies out food; his eyes see it from afar. His young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he. I know that You can do all things, and that no purpose of Yours can be thwarted. By the WORD of Your Jehovah the heavens were made, and by the breath of His mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap; He lays up the deeps in storehouses. Let all the earth fear You Jehovah; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of You. You, Jehovah God, possess all power.

          You are Merciful. And lovingkindness is Yours, O Lord Jehovah, of You recompense a man according to his work. You, O Lord Jehovah, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to ager and abundant in lovingkindness and truth. You looked upon their distress and when You heard their cry; and You remembered Your covenant for their sake, and relented according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness. Your lovingkindesses indeed never cease, for Your compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. You Jehovah are gracious and merciful; slow to anger and great in lovingkindness. You Jehovah are good to all, and Your mercies are over all Your works. You, Jehovah God, are an actively compassionate being. Your respond compassionately toward those who have opposed Your will in pursuit of their own will.

You are Jehovah God, Jehovah the One and Only!
