Another Promise

 7 “Come, Zion! Escape, you who live in Daughter Babylon!” 8 For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye 9 I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them.[b] Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me.10 “Shout and be glad, Daughter Zion. For I am coming, and I will live among you,” declares the LORD. 11 “Many nations will be joined with the LORD in that day and will become my people. I will live among you and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. 12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be still before the LORD, all mankind, because he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.”
Zech. 2:7-13

I have been stirred, listening lately to a Prime Minister and a President - one, the Prime Minister of Israel, the Apple of God's eye, who has a keen and correct worldview and wisdom, vs. a President who clearly does not know Biblical, Jewish, or world history, either ancient or modern, nor is He familiar with God's Word. What is the Word of the Lord if not His promises? Who is The Lord Almighty? What He isn't is a man that He should lie, or have just good intentions, but because of a variety of factors those intentions are unfulfilled! No- God, the Lord Almighty, keeps His Word! To His Chosen People, to those grafted in, - and also to His enemies. If you mess with the Apple of His eye you are His enemy! But to those peoples and nations who support and love what He loves, they will be joined with Him, one people, all who call on the name of the Lord. God's promises are transcendent, and available to all who believe and confess Him as Lord and Savior, they are universal, but exclusive simultaneously. He will not share us with idols or other gods.
Be still before Him today, and know that He is God.
