Things to take out of this passage:
- Third Vision: - a guy with a measuring device goes to measure Jerusalem but an angel tells him to stop because Jerusalem will be boundary-less . God will be the protective wall and the heart of the city. This means that Jerusalem means all of us. We are Jerusalem and we are too many to be counted. God is our protection (wall) and lives within us as the source of our life (heart).
- Those who are against Zion are in trouble. God says that Zion (meaning us) is as precious to Him as His own eyes! Wow! That's quite precious! Because of this God will protect them from harm and will destroy anyone who tries to hurt them. It's nice to know that God is looking after us.
Things to put into practice:
- We are God's chosen city and he chooses to dwell within us by His Holy Spirit. We should remember this for both preventing us from sinning because we will grieve the Holy Spirit; and encouraging us to be bold and be strong! ;)
- We are so precious to God. He lovingly made us and cares for us as much as His own eyes. If God can see all then they have to be pretty special eyes! Thank you Lord.

God is going to do amazing things with Jerusalem with God on the outide. First angel seemed to limit God (with measurements), but second angel talked about bursting the walls - faith that more was going to happen and not limiting God
They shouted and were glad - I guess they didn't know what was going to happen fully, but still rejoiced - rather than working everything out.
God is on the move in that place - He has found someone to work through and a city that he is preparing. Talks about unity.
Things we can take away
We need to have God at centre of what we do, and not to limit him- He can break down barriers
Unity - that we become one, rather than many. Kidz club is starting the way in this. It is allowing God to work through all of us whereever we are
We need to rejoice in what is going on however small and if we don't fully understand. God will live in us - and that's good!
