Zechariah 2:1 And I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand! 2 Then 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.” 3 And behold, the angel who talked with me came forward, and another angel came forward to meet him 4 and said to him, “Run, say to that young man, ‘Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of people and livestock in it. 5 And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the Lord, and I will be the glory in her midst.’”
This next vision given to Zechariah was intended to comfort God's people and give them hope. God was going to use His measuring line as He prepared to rebuild Jerusalem after the exile. He was also going to send His "Wall of Fire", demonstrating His presence with and protection of His people. He was also seeing beyond that time, as he saw many nations come and join His people there. God still has a plan.
