Beloved Names of God..series "Wall of Fire"

Wall of Fire

 

"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."

Zechariah 2:5 KJV

 

 

• Name of God the Father
• God is referred to as a "wall of fire" once in the KJV.
• In an age when fireproof materials were all but inconceivable, a wall of fire would have been considered an unbreachable defense.
• Zechariah was predicting a return to glory for Jerusalem - a city once again under God's protection. The scattered Jews would return from exile and people of many nations would worship in Jerusalem. it would be a time when God would dwell in the city. Zechariah may have been predicting Jesus or the Second coming.

 

IF you have a computer, it is probably protected by a firewall. When you go online, the firewall filters all messages, allowing the permissible ones through and blocking potentially harmful ones.

 

God, Ezekiel promised, would be that kind of protection for Jerusalem, It wouldn't need city walls; it would have a divine Wall of Fire.

 

The Lord can be a Wall of Fire for our lives, too. Jesus activate a program called prayer- it's the best firewall around.
