Story behind the song
This song was composed on 12/23/2025. We will soon be studying Zechariah in BSF. I have done extensive study on this book. So, I thought it would also be good to have it in music. I started with chapter 2, because a few years back, I had composed a song that was an interp of a large part of chapter 1 (Zechariah - 1st Vision).
Lyrics
1Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
2So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length."
3And there was the angel who talked with me, going out; and another angel was coming out to meet him,
4who said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying: 'Jerusalem shall be inhabited as towns without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
5For I,' says the Lord, 'will be a wall of fire all around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.' "
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.
7Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon."
8For thus says the Lord of hosts: "He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye.
9For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.
10"Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says the Lord.
11Many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall become My people. And I will dwell in your midst. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
12And the Lord will take possession of Judah as His inheritance in the Holy Land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
13Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord, for He is aroused from His holy habitation!"
