Vindication

UV 3604/10000 Vindication Behold, I will wave my hand over them and they shall become plunder for their own slaves. Then you shall know ( recognize, understand fully} that the Lord of hosts has sent Me. Zechariah 2 v 9 When anyone touches us, they touch the apple of the Lord’s eye. The pupil referred to as the apple of the eye is the most vulnerable and sensitive part of the human body. It is not a part to be touched even by the person concerned for it will hurt him, blind him temporarily. The apple of the eye is also a reference as a figure of speech to the persons dearest to one. The Lord regards His faithful as the apple of His eye. He promises to be a wall of fire around us and the glory in our midst. The ones who unjustly attack or even aim to assault us will become like plunder to the very people who serve them. The Lord will do this in order to make them understand, recognize that the Lord of the army of heaven, with thousands upon thousands of chariots of fire and awesome being and angels of power, has sent Jesus, His Son to redeem the world and those who belong to Him. The Lord promises to merely shake His hand over them and these consequences of their unjust actions will follow. He is fierce in protecting His own as a lioness protects her cubs, as a mother eagle protects her eaglets. They who attack only in one direction or in one matter will be forced to flee in all directions, scripture says seven as seven implies completeness or the complete and total rout of the forces opposing us. The Lord allows such opposition to rise in His foreknowledge in order to reveal His love, His power, His grace, His justice. The context in which this uni-verse was first written by the prophet Zachariah was that the nation of Israel was dispersed to the four corners of the globe like the winds do to the dust. The Jews were persecuted unjustly for holding onto their faith by powerful kingdoms. The Lord promised to bring them back as a nation and reveal His glory. The Lord just has to shake His hand for powerful opponents and foes to be defeated, dispersed, overcome, overthrown. While He is at this, He establishes His faithful children whatever be the circumstances surrounding them. He has done this over and over again in world history, biblical history as well as personal history. We only need to be patient and wait for His hand to appear and shake over the disruptors, the obscurantists and others ranged against His children,His servants, His people.
