Jerusalem shall be inhabited as villages without walls, For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto her a wall of fire round about. —Zech. 2:4, 5, AS.

Those who have come to Jehovah's organization, Jerusalem, recognize him as their God and Jerusalem as his organization and feel safe because he is their protector. They need not depend on the walls or bulwarks that nations of this world set up to protect themselves, because “Jehovah knows those who belong to him.” The good news of the incoming new world attracts the meek to God's Word, and that draws them closer to Jehovah. Having come to his unwalled city, trusting in him and having confidence in his Word, they are not afraid of what might happen to them. They are sure of protection. Was not God able to protect the congregation of Israel from being engulfed when the earth opened and swallowed up the unfaithful opposition? And to preserve Noah and his family through the flood? Is he not able to preserve those who have come into his unwalled village? He certainly is! W 1/1
