A HEBREW SAGE MIGHT SAY. . .
MESSIAH will come, but I do not desire to pass thru the trials preceding HIS coming.

GREAT WALL OF FIRE
"And I MYSELF - declares the LORD - will be a WALL OF FIRE all around Jerusalem, and I will be the GLORY inside it." [Zechariah (Zecharyah) 2. 5 Tanakh, Nevi'im]

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

Sha’alu (Pray) for the shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!!
