Frequently Asked Questions

What is the man with the measuring line doing in Zechariah 2?
He is going out to measure Jerusalem's width and length, but the angel tells him Jerusalem will instead be inhabited "as towns without walls" because of its size (v1-4).
What does verse 5 mean by God being "a wall of fire"?
Rather than a physical wall, the LORD promises to be "a wall of fire round about" Jerusalem and "the glory in the midst of her" (v5).
What does verse 8 mean by "toucheth the apple of his eye"?
It says whoever touches God's people touches "the apple of his eye" - a picture of how closely he guards them - as he sends judgment on the nations that had scattered them (v8-9).
