Book of Prophet
Zechariah
Chapter
2
ⁱ I looked up and saw a man with a measuring line in his hand. ² Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He answered me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 1 to 2)
Oh God If I would ask You the same question today in 2016, I wonder what Your reply would be. You might answer me that You are counting the number of people who are still faithful to You and Your name, and those who really and truly love You, among those who say they do, but in truth they do not. Amen. Oh God my Father I pray that when my time comes I will be worthy of appearing in Your presence Amen.
³ Then the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him, ⁴ and said to him, "Run, say to that young man; Jerusalem shall be inhabited like villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and animals in it. ⁵ For I will be a wall of fire all around it, says the LORD, and I will be the glory within it."
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 3 to 5)

(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 3 to 5)
Oh God my Father I thank You for speaking to me personally after such a long time. I know that You are aware of my situation with the petition board and I know that You are going to protect me with Your firewall against the forces of evil. I thank You Jesus my God and Father.
⁶ Up, up! Flee from the land of the north, says the LORD; for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, says the LORD. ⁷ Up! Escape to Zion, you that live with daughter Babylon.
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 6 to 7)
Oh God my Father today You are making me more aware that You are my God and Saviour and that at any time You can free me and others from our situations of Egypt and bondage from the forces of evil that keep us as slaves, both within ourselves mentally and even in situations over which we seem to have no control. Today You are setting us free to leave behind us all our previous hurts and issues of anger and start a new life under His protection. I thank You my God and Father Amen. Thank You for setting us free. If we decide to sin, it is now our own choice and our responsibility to face the consequences of our actions, for God has given us a second and third chance to confess our sins and start again in our relationship with him and others Amen.
⁸ For thus said the LORD of hosts (after his glory sent me) regarding the nations that plundered you; Truly, one who touches you touches the apple of my eye.
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verse 8)
Oh God my Father I thank You for holding us as being so precious for You. Even though You are referring to the people of the 'Old Testament', I am sure that we are also precious before You, for we are also Your creation Amen.
⁹ See now, I am going to raise my hand against them, and they shall become plunder for their own slaves. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me.
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verse 9)
Oh God my Father, even though Your people the apple of Your eye did negative acts, You still could not show partiality and overlook their actions. You are both just loving and merciful, however when we need to be put in our places and humbled for our own good You justly do it by bringing about situations that humble us. I thank You my God and Father, for doing so even though at times it may be hard to accept Amen.
¹⁰ Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! For lo, I will come and dwell in your midst, says the LORD. ¹¹. Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in your midst. And you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.
(Book of Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 10 to 11)
Oh God my Father, that will indeed be the day when we will become Your people again, and we will be humble enough to give You back the central place in our life, and permit You to take full control of our past present and even our future. Amen.
¹² The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. ¹³ Be silent, all people, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.
(Book of the Prophet Zechariah Chapter 2 verses 12 to 13)
Oh God my Father, how I wish that You take me as Your special portion for I feel lonely and unloved. I pray to be silent but my hurt is broken. I believe that You are active in my situation even though I am not seeing You working. Amen.
Oh God I would like to end this second chapter of the book of the prophet Zechariah with the following prayer;
Oh God my Father I am praying that You intervene in my life for I am passing through hell and back. I do not know how long I can endure anymore. I pray that You deliver me from my situation Amen.
