Elisha Vision – Commentary

A Zionist is simply one who believes that God gave the land of Israel to the Jews. Yehovah God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is the top Zionist in the universe. It is His idea and His will that Israel live on the particular geographical location He chose for them. His enemies have tried to complicate the definition, but in the end it about the land and God’s everlasting promise. You can see His love and even His zeal for Zion in this quote.

“Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ​‘​I am zealous for Zion with great zeal; ​​with great fervor I am zealous for her.’ Thus says Yehovah: ​‘​I will return to Zion, ​​and dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. ​​Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, ​​the Mountain of Yehovah of hosts, ​​The Holy Mountain.’ Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ​‘​Old men and old women shall again sit ​​in the streets of Jerusalem, ​​each one with his staff in his hand ​​because of great age. ​​The streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.’ Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ​‘​If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes?’ ​​Says Yehovah of hosts. Thus says Yehovah of hosts: ​‘​Behold, I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west; ​​I will bring them back, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. ​​They shall be My people and I will be their God, in truth and righteousness.’”  Zechariah 1:1-8

Notice that this short passage tells us five specific things about God Himself.

1. He expresses great zeal; ​​with great fervor.
2. He will make Jerusalem His dwelling place, His home! 
3. It will be marvelous in His eyes!
4. He will bring His people back.
5. They will be His people and He will be their God, in truth and righteousness.

None of this is delegated to the angels. God does it Himself with great satisfaction and joy. Yehovah reveals His heart in this chapter. He is a hands-on God! This is what He personally wants. He rejoices in performing His promise. No matter how much controversy surrounds Zionism, we must stand in agreement with God. Our own personal integrity issues from that agreement. Align your will with God’s will, even when it is hard. “Integrity is siding with God’s Word against yourself.” Anonymous.

“The integrity of the upright will guide them, But the perversity (or duplicity) of the unfaithful will destroy them.”  Proverbs 11:3

“May integrity and honesty protect me, for I put my hope in you.”  Psalm 25:21 NLT

Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem and pray for rain.
