This is God’s Message: ‘I care deeply for Jerusalem and Zion. I feel very possessive of them. But I’m thoroughly angry with the godless nations that act as if they own the whole world. I was only moderately angry earlier, but now they’ve gone too far. I’m going into action. 16-17 “‘I’ve come back to Jerusalem, but with compassion this time.’ This is God speaking.‘I’ll see to it that my Temple is rebuilt.’ A Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies!‘The rebuilding operation is already staked out.’ Say it again—a Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies:‘My cities will prosper again, God will comfort Zion again, Jerusalem will be back in my favor again.’” Second Vision: Four Horns and Four Blacksmiths
