Zech 2:1-13 
1 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand. 

We were told us this "line" in chapter 1, verse 16. 

2 Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof. 

Now, this one is not measuring a land mass. 
What we need to look at is the meaning, the actual translation, of the name Jerusalem. 
Jerusalem means "the teaching of peace". 
So, he is going to assess just where we are at this time as to the "the teaching of peace". 
Is the teaching of the True Peace, which only is through YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, within 1% of the world? or, 100%? or, somewhere in between? 

Well, we know that the whole world has not yet heard nor live by HIS Word. Neither is the whole world living nor teaching peace. 

3 And, behold, the angel that talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him, 
4 And said unto him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle therein: 

Note that this is a young man, a youth, therefore one that is not yet mature. 
Many who are not yet mature have a tendency to think of the literal/physical aspects without considering the spiritual aspect. 
For, Jerusalem need not be, and can not truly be measured by flesh man, but the 'teaching of peace', the teaching of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, can only be measured by YHVH, for HE knows the hearts of all men. 
There is no way that man can build a wall around the 'teaching of peace'. 
But, those who shall abide/dwell within the teaching of peace shall be likened unto communities without need of man's walls. 

5 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. 

Who is our Wall? 
YHVH is the protection that surrounds those who teach HIS Peace, according to HIS Plan. 
And, as a wall of fire, all who unlawfully try to enter shall be destroyed by HIM. 
And, HIS Glory shall be within the midst of Jerusalem. 


6 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. 

We may want to look at this verse more as, 
'Woe! Woe! Flee from the land of the north, saith YHVH. For I have caused you to be scattered'. 

Likened unto the four winds which blow in every direction, and HE has scattered HIS servants and the children of Israel in every direction. 

This word "north" is the Hebrew word tsaapown, and refers to 'that which is dark, hidden, lurking'. 
So, HE is telling us to come out of that darkness and deception, and come into 'the teaching of peace',  the teaching of YAHSHUA. 

7 Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon. 

"Zion" speaks of the mountain of Jerusalem, which spiritually would refer to the nation/government of Jerusalem. 
HE is telling those of the nation/government of Jerusalem to escape, saving themselves, from the "daughter of Babylon". This "daughter of Babylon" speaks of the city/nation/government of confusion. 

8 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 toucheth the apple of his eye. 

What have the nations/heathen done unto scattered Israel? They have plunder much of that which FATHER gave unto us. Even taking away our goodly traditions, leaving their evil traditions in place of YHVH'S. And, many have placed those of Israel into spiritual/religious, economic, educational, and governmental bondage. 
FATHER will not stand for this, for as others do harm unto Israel, it is as if they are poking YHVH in HIS eye. 

9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me. 

FATHER'S hand speaks of HIS Power. 
And, by HIS Hand/Power, these who had spoiled and put into bondage Israel, shall become a booty unto Israel. 

10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. 

Sing praise and rejoice, daughters (no gender, spiritually speaking) of Jerusalem. For YHVH/YAHSHUA shall dwell with us and within us. 

11 And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 

On the first of The LORD'S DAY, many nations (Ethnos) shall be joined unto YAHSHUA. 
These, too, shall be HIS. And, HE will dwell in the midst of these, also. 


Rom 11:1-36 
1 I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 
2 God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 
3 Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. 
4 But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to the image of Baal. 
5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. 
6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. 
7 What then? Israel hath not obtained that which he seeketh for; but the election hath obtained it, and the rest were blinded 
8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the spirit of slumber, eyes that they should not see, and ears that they should not hear;) unto this day. 
9 And David saith, Let their table be made a snare, and a trap, and a stumblingblock, and a recompence unto them: 
10 Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not see, and bow down their back alway. 
11 I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? God forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy. 
12 Now if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? 
13 For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: 
14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. 
15 For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead? 
16 For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. 
17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 
18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 
19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in. 
20 Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 
21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 
22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. 
23 And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be graffed in: for God is able to graff them in again. 
24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be graffed into their own olive tree? 
25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own
conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. 
26 And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob: 
27 For this is my covenant unto them, when I shall take away their sins. 
28 As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. 
29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. 
30 For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief: 
31 Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy. 
32 For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. 
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! 
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor? 
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again? 
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen. (KJV) 

Zech 2: 
12 And the LORD shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again. 

YAHSHUA shall distribute Judah's portion in the "holy land" and shall appoint and require the 'teaching of Peace' again. 

13 Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation. (KJV) 

All earthly flesh shall be silenced, as YAHSHUA returns. 

1 Cor 15:52-56 
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 
54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 
55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? 
56 The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.  (KJV)
