START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Zechariah 2:8-9
For thus saith the Lord of hosts; After the glory hath he sent me unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his eye. 9 For, behold, I will shake mine hand upon them, and they shall be a spoil to their servants: and ye shall know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me.
TOUCHES THE APPLE OF HIS EYE / ZECHARIAH 2:8-9
Throughout the Bible, Zion is often used as a reference to Jerusalem, or God’s city. The name was also used as a general reference to God’s “dwelling place,” or central place of worship on earth (Psalms 9:11; 74:2; Joel 3:21). At times, it can refer to the renewed and restored Jerusalem in which Christ will reign on earth at the end of history (Isaiah 52:8; 62:1-12). It also refers to God’s eternal heavenly city. However, in the passage, Zion (Zechariah 2:7) refers to the portion of God’s people who came through the exile in Babylon, particularly the ones who remained faithful to Him and would continue to carry out His purposes on earth. They are the apple (pupil or center portion) of God’s eye and the source of His affection (Psalms 17:8). God’s faithful followers today are just as important and loved as much as God’s people were in Old Testament times. We too are under His protective care and concern.
