PASSIONATE PURSUIT...WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT

​ZECHARIAH 2:1
I LIFTED UP MINE EYES AGAIN, AND LOOKED, AND BEHOLD A MAN WITH A MEASURING LINE IN HIS HAND THEN SAID, WHITHER GOEST THOU? AND HE SAID UNTO ME TO MEASURE JERUSALEM, TO SEE WHAT IS THE BREADTH THEREOF, AND WHAT IS THE LENGTH THEREOF.
AND BEHOLD, THE ANGEL THAT TALKED WITH ME WENT FORTH, AND ANOTHER ANGEL WENT OUT TO MEET HIM,
AND SAID INTO HIM, RUN, SPEAK TO THIS YOUNG MAN, SAYING, JERUSALEM SHALL BE INHABITED AS TOWNS WITHOUT WALLS FOR THE MULTITUDE OF MEN AND CATTLE THEREIN:
FOR I, SAITH THE LORD, WILL BE UNTO HER A WALL OF FIRE ROUND ABOUT, AND WILL BE THE GLORY IN THE MIDST OF HER.
HO,HO, COME FORTH, AND FLEE FROM THE LAND OF THE NORTH, SAITH THE LORD, FOR I HAVE SPREAD YOU ABROAD AS THE FOUR WINDS OF THE HEAVEN, SAITH THE LORD.
DELIVER THYSELF, O ZION, THAT DWELLEST WITH THE DAUGHTER OF BABYLON.
FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; AFTER THE GLORY HATH HE SENT ME UNTO THE NATIONS WHICH SPOILED YOU: FOR HE THAT TOUCHETH YOU HAVE TOUCHED THE APPLE OF HIS EYE.
FOR BEHOLD, I WILL SHAKE MINE HAND UPON THEM, THEY SHALL BE A SPOIL TO THEIR SERVANTS: AND YE SHALL KNOW THAT THE LORD OF HOSTS HAVE SENT ME.
SING AND REJOICE, O DAUGHTER OF ZION: FOR, LO, I COME, AND I WILL DWELL IN THE MIDST OF THEE, SAITH THE LORD.
Have no fear. Be of good courage. The Lord has it all in the palm of his hand. The enemies have attempted to size you up. But the Lord has said to remember his holy word. He has spoken his word and he will hasten to perform it. He, too, has sent his angels in advance to measure and has prepared for a day such as these. All of these things didn’t just happen by chance. Therefore, don’t think it strange the things that you see and that you hear. These times have been appointed for righteous judgment. Have not I prophesied these things? The adversary has attempted to sift the glory from his chosen, the bride. Therefore, has the Lord dispatched his angels to the nations which spoiled you. Watch and know when things have come to pass that there has been a prophet among you. Rejoice and sing for the Lord will inherit his chosen Jerusalem again. The people began to pray and the word of God came forth again unto the prophet…
Zechariah 8:1
AGAIN THE WORD OF THE LORD OF HOSTS CAME TO ME, SAYING, THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS, I WAS JEALOUS FOR ZION WITH GREAT JEALOUSY, AND I WAS JEALOUS FOR HER WITH GREAT FURY.
THUS SAITH THE LORD, I AM RETURNED UNTO ZION ANDWILL DWELL IN THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM AND JERUSALEM SHALL BE CALLED THE CITY OF TRUTH, AND THE MOUNTAIN OF THE LORD OF HOSTS THE HOLY MOUNTAIN.
Repent and return for the Lord has come forth to render just reward to his adversaries. Deliver yourselves from the fury and wrath of God for surely he has raised up enemies to show forth his power and glory in the midst of the earth. Fear the Lord who is the first and the last. Fear the Lord who was dead and is yet alive. Fear him, the Ancient of days.
