God's People Protected
By Mark Flippo
Zechariah 12:3
"And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."
“Shall be cut in pieces”: Like lifting a heavy weight, Jerusalem will “seriously injure” (literally) any people that try to gain victory over it. This is due to divine intervention (verses 4-5). This is speaking of the great armies of the heathen who come against God's people and Jerusalem in particular. They will gather around to destroy, and will be destroyed themselves by God. It will appear the whole world is against them, but God's people will win the victory. Their battle is fought by God against those who oppose His people.
The Church is the Spiritual Israel. Scriptures that pertain to the natural Israel apply to the spiritual Israel! God has set laws in place that apply to us if we are living for Him with the best of our being. Living above sin and Loving the way He loved. With God, learning about Him teaches you that you can obtain higher levels with Him. At His will protection from the worst possible scenarios can be yours. If you want His protection, pray and be one with Him!
