Third Vision: The Man with a Measuring Line
1And I lifted up my eyes, and I saw a man with a measuring cord in his hand. # Eze 40:3; Zec 1:16 2And I said, “Where are you going?”
And he responded, “To measure Jerusalem and to note what is its width and length.” # Rev 21:15–17
3Then the angel who was speaking with me went out, # Zec 1:19 and then another angel came out to meet him, 4and said to him, “Run, say to this young man: Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and animals in her. 5And I will be like a wall of fire all around her, # Isa 4:5; 60:18–19 says the Lord, and I will be as glory in her midst.”
Interlude: An Appeal to the Exiles
6Up, up, flee from the northern land, # Isa 48:20 says the Lord, for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven, # Eze 17:21 says the Lord.
7Deliver yourself, # Isa 52:11 O Zion, you who live with the daughter of Babylon. 8For thus says the Lord of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations which plunder you, for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. # Dt 32:10; Ps 17:8 9For I will swing My hand against them, # Isa 19:16 and they will become plunder for their servants. # Isa 14:2 Then you will know well that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me.
10Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, for I am coming and will dwell in your midst, # Lev 26:12; Zec 8:3 says the Lord. 11And many nations will join themselves with the Lord in that day, and they will be My people. And I will reside in your midst, and you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent Me to you. 12And the Lord will possess Judah as His portion in the holy land, # Dt 32:9 and He will again choose Jerusalem. # Zec 1:17 13Be still, all flesh before the Lord, for He is stirred from His holy habitation. # Ps 68:5; Hab 2:20
