1 And then these Messages from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
1 The word of the LORD Almighty came to me.
2 "I am zealous for Zion - I care! I'm angry about Zion - I'm involved!"
2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “I am very jealous for Zion; I am burning with jealousy for her.”
3 "I've come back to Zion, I've moved back to Jerusalem. Jerusalem's new names will be Truth City, and Mountain of God-of-the-Angel-Armies, and Mount Holiness."
3 This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the Faithful City, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain.”
4 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
4 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Once again men and women of ripe old age will sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each of them with cane in hand because of their age.
5 And boys and girls will fill the public parks, laughing and playing - a good city to grow up in."
5 The city streets will be filled with boys and girls playing there.”
6 A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: "Do the problems of returning and rebuilding by just a few survivors seem too much? But is anything too much for me? Not if I have my say."
6 This is what the LORD Almighty says: “It may seem marvelous to the remnant of this people at that time, but will it seem marvelous to me?” declares the LORD Almighty.
