“This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
People from nations and cities around the world will travel to Jerusalem. The people of one city will say to the people of another, ‘Come with us to Jerusalem to ask the Lord to bless us. Let’s worship the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. I’m determined to go.’
Many peoples and powerful nations will come to Jerusalem to seek the Lord of Heaven’s Armies and to ask for his blessing.
“This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says:
In those days ten men from different nations and languages of the world will clutch at the sleeve of one Jew. And they will say, ‘Please let us walk with you, for we have heard that God is with you.’”
Zechariah 8:20-23
So beautiful. Is this not what we all want? Church, would we not love for those of every nation to grab hold of our sleeves and beg to walk in The Way? For them to see the Beauty and Worth of our King among us and be determined to seek Him?
These verses are the result of the previous two chapters. The product of just living and loving kindness is His fame.
We cannot do this on our own grit. Not by force, nor by strength, but by His Spirit. We abide in Him. We share honest community with one another. And we allow Him to transform us.
And others will hear Yahweh is with us.
