Zechariah 2:5
2:5 But I (the
Lord says) will be a wall of fire surrounding Jerusalem
and the source of glory in her midst.’”
Zechariah 9:8
9:8 Then I will surround my temple
to protect it like a guard
from anyone crossing back and forth; so no one will cross over against them anymore as an oppressor, for now I myself have seen it.
Zechariah 9:15-16
9:15 The
Lord who rules over all will guard them, and they will prevail and overcome with sling stones. Then they will drink, and will become noisy like drunkards,
full like the sacrificial basin or like the corners of the altar.
9:16 On that day the
Lord their God will deliver them as the flock of his people, for they are the precious stones of a crown sparkling over his land.
Joel 3:16-17
3:16 The Lord roars from Zion;
from Jerusalem his voice bellows out.
The heavens and the earth shake.
But the Lord is a refuge for his people;
he is a stronghold for the citizens of Israel.
The Lord’s Presence in Zion
3:17 You will be convinced that I the Lord am your God,
dwelling on Zion, my holy mountain.
Jerusalem will be holy –
conquering armies will no longer pass through it.
