ZECHARIAH 2

ZECHARIAH’S THIRD VISION TELLS OF GOD’S PRESENCE IN JERUSALEM

In his third vision, Zechariah sees a man using a tool to measure Jerusalem. Angels appear to Zechariah, proclaiming that Jerusalem will be a city without walls, overflowing with people and prosperity. Instead of a physical border, the city will be protected by God’s glory in the form of a wall of fire!

The image of the measuring tool is seen in other visions (Ezekiel, Amos, Revelation) and serves as an image of God’s sovereignty, His attention to detail, and His plans to restore and protect His people. God encourages the remaining exiles to flee from the north and return to Jerusalem, the city where His presence will dwell.
