Zechariah / Question
Question source
Zechariah
Jerusalem is described as inhabited “as villages without walls” because of the multitude of people and livestock in it in Zechariah 2:4. The LORD also promises to be “a wall of fire” around her and “the glory” within her in Zechariah 2:5. The picture combines growth with divine protection and presence.
4and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.
5For I, says Yahweh, will be to her a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
