Time: Written after the Temple Was Completed circa 480-470BC
What the Lord is Saying: In this chapter Jerusalem is mentioned 10 times. The phrase "in that day" is mentioned 7 times in reference to the Day of the Lord (Great Tribulation Period).
Jerusalem is to be protected and specifically during the Second Coming of Christ and the tribulation period.
The Lord
- stretched out the heavens
- laid the foundations of the earth
- formed the human spirit
So? He has the power. Jerusalem will be protected. It will be an immovable rock. Nations will try but will be unsuccessful. A lot will be going on around Judah, but God is watching over you. You have enemies but they will be blinded. Strength will be found in the Lord. You will have security amidst chaos around you. The weakest will be as mighty as the highest King.
And then God will pour out a spirit of grace and prayer. They will be overcome with this spirit of forgiveness. People will have sorrow
Promise: Physical renewal cannot occur until there is true spiritual renewal.
