So 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.” Zechariah 2:2
The first working day for most of us in 2022 might bring with it a question such as that one in our verse for today. "Where are you going?" For many of us the answer might be obvious such as to work or school, but for others there may yet be no answer. As for Zechariah and later John, the dimensions of the city are not so important as the fact of the city. Jerusalem is there and it is physical. There are prophecies about another city, but we don't want to go there because it is slated for destruction. At the moment there are a great many cities of tremendous size scattered about the Earth, but one place stands out for its renewal, the new Jerusalem, and its physical presence in scripture enough that it is to be measured. So, in the end where are we going? Up to Jerusalem to see the King of kings!
May we soon gather with the Lord in His great city!
