SONG NO. 223
JEHOVAH IS A WALL OF FIRE SURROUNDING JERUSALEM
ISAIAH . 10 : 12-19 ; JEREMIAH . 21 1-9 ; 50 : 33-34
The pagan nation destroyed Jerusalem very badly
Which caused Jehovah to look upon Jerusalem very sadly
They destroyed Jehovah’s holy temple
Took His holy vessels and captured His people
Why with Jehovah’s people this thing to happen
Why were they targeted by other nation’s weapon
Because of their wickedness and badness
Jehovah endured His own people to suffered this sadness
But why Jehovah was angry with the nations He did use
What did they do for His love to lose
If we know David and Saul’s story
For their predicament we will feel sorry
As David did not harm Saul though Saul was bad
Those other nations should not make God’s people so Sad
When the Israelites repented and walked in Jehovah’s way,then they are in Jehovah’s care
Jehovah accepted His people and listened their prayer
Just as Cyrus helped Jehovah’s people to build the holy city again
The other nations should accept Jehovah’s sovereignty reign
If Jehovah punishes His own people and lets them to feel sadness
Jehovah will surely punish the other nations for their badness
Instead the nations accepted this reality that Jehovah used them against Israelite
They praised themselves and boast on their own might
Because the nations did not accept Jehovah’s fear
They are liable to punishment and out of Jehovah’s care
So Jehovah is like a wall of fire around His holy city
Because Jehovah for His own people felt very much pity
No-one on the earth can Jehovah’s people touch
Jehovah provides His people security very much
Jehovah promised His people that He would give them glory
Because they repented and Jehovah accepted they were sorry
Jehovah will select Judah as His best portion
So you O , nations be fear Jehovah and act with caution
Jehovah chose Jerusalem as His holy ground
Since now Jerusalem has Jehovah’s approval found
