Glory Given To God
??Zechariah? ?2:4?-?5? ?NIV??
[4] and said to him: “Run, tell that young man, ‘Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of people and animals in it. [5] And I myself will be a wall of fire around it,’ declares the Lord, ‘and I will be its glory within.’
No concern of your location
How tall the walls we all build
Around our border of what we allow to enter
Within to mold us to this world
May God tear down the walls of deception
And build a wall of fire around one
Shinning light on the darkness in this world
Giving glory unto the one who creates
A new creation to be molded from above
That one might be of the free Jerusalem
One in unity and love
Then one shall know this is of God
??John? ?4:21?-?24? ?NIV??
[21] “Woman,” Jesus replied, “believe me, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. [22] You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. [23] Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. [24] God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
??Galatians? ?4:24?-?26? ?NIV??
[24] These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. [25] Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. [26] But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
