Zechariah 1:18-2:13

Those who scattered Judah will themselves be shaken, and the people will return to a city protected by the LORD himself.  Those who have been living in Babylon are told to flee from that land of the north, and escape to Zion.

Where are you living today?  Are you at home in the LORD’s land, or do you live in the land of Babylon?  You cannot stay on that foreign soil.  The LORD is about to judge it.  Escape to the LORD’s protected city.

LORD, we have been living in Babylon too long.  Give us the courage to escape it, before it is too late.
