A leading, and somewhat controversial member of Knesset earlier this month stated that those in positions of authority in the Jewish state must not rely on God alone when making decisions regarding the governance of Israel.

 “…when we trusted in God alone, we lost out.”

Not only will Jerusalem grow beyond historical memory, but the Lord “will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her” (Zechariah 2:5). No longer will Jerusalem be the pawn of other nations, no longer will she be subject to the whims of rival nations and competing religions. The Lord Himself will become a wall around her similar to the way God protected them as they fled from Egypt (Exodus 13:21-22).
