This is the
beautiful promise to Jerusalem in the days drawing closer when "all Israel
shall be saved." [Romans 11.
26] Meanwhile, believers can appropriate it as
evidence of ALMIGHTY
GOD, the MASTER
CREATOR
and
HIS
great concern
and kind consideration for all HIS people.
The safest, most
secure place in all the world for one of MESSIAH'S
servants is to
be in the perfect will of GOD ALMIGHTY. The believer has all around him, an
invisible, but invincible
(indestructible)
spiritual
"wall of fire" both protecting and strengthening him. The psalmist said it this way, "The
ANGEL
OF THE LORD camps around those who fear
HIM and rescues
them."
[Psalms
(Tehillym)
34.
7
Tanakh,
Kethuvim]
Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, who was
fearful of the enemy army arrayed against them, was encouraged when his eyes
were enabled to see
(in answer
to Elisha's prayer)
that, "the
hills all around Elisha were covered with horses and chariots of
fire."
[2
Kings
(Melakhim
Bet)
6.
17
Tanakh,
Nevi'im]
The OMNIPOTENT
LORD
GOD is like an impregnable,
unconquerable wall of mountains surrounding HIS people. "Jerusalem, hills enfold it; and the
LORD
enfolds
HIS people now and
forever."
[Psalms
(Tehillym)
125. 2
Tanakh, Kethuvim] A contemplation
of King David regarding the blessedness of forgiveness of the
LORD
reads, "YOU are my SHELTER, my HIDING
PLACE; YOU
preserve me from distress;
YOU surround me with songs and
joyous shouts of deliverance. Selah" [Psalms
(Tehillym)
32.
7 Tanakh,
Kethuvim]
The earthly
Jerusalem is a foreshadowing of the New Jerusalem which will have "a great
and high wall"
[Revelation
21.
12]
within which
the people of the EVERLASTING
GOD
will dwell
safely forever and all "the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its
light."
[Revelation
21.
24]
"In that day,
this song shall be sung in the land of Judah:
Ours is
a strong and mighty city; HE makes victory our inner and
outer wall."
[Isaiah
(Yeshayah)
26.
1 Tanakh,
Nevi'im] Now, in type . . . reality, throughout
eternity, the GREAT
WALL
OF MOUNTAINS
&
ANGELS
and
DIVINE
FIRE
is our
GREAT SALVATION
in the
LORD
JESUS. "The cry 'Violence!'
shall
no more be heard in your land, nor "Waste, wrack and ruin!" within your
borders.
And you
shall name your walls
Victory,
Salvation
and
your gates
Renown Praise." [Isaiah
(Yeshayah)
60.

Nevi'im]
Amazing, this
is tremendously amazing! I wait for your
DELIVERANCE, O LORD, for it is good to hope
