Zechariah 2:5 ‘For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.’

DAILY READING – Matthew 23:1-12; Numbers 22:41-23:26; Song of Solomon 3:6-5:1

A measure that has saved lives in Israel is the bomb shelters.
Israeli law stipulates that every citizen must have access to a bomb shelter. In 1951, three years after the State of Israel declared its independence, the country instituted a civil defense law requiring all homes, residential buildings and offices to be equipped with shelters or “safe rooms”.
This has been necessary because of the security situation Israel has continually faced. From its creation in 1948, Israel has often been under threats of attacks from its enemies. This has resulted in the building of over one million public and private bomb shelters, throughout Israel.
These shelters can be sealed in case of an attack with chemical or biological weapons.
Along with the more conventional below-ground bomb shelters, there are underground parking garages that can be converted into nuclear-proof bomb shelters and hospitals able to accommodate thousands.
Entire schools are encased in reinforced concrete with blast-proof windows.
Small “safe rooms” in private residences are meant to withstand rockets and unconventional weapons attack.
These shelters built mainly from concrete and metals are often able to shield people from the force of the rockets.
During the recent 2021 war with Hamas, air raid sirens often sounded to warn people of incoming rocket attacks, leading them to run to bomb shelters for safety. At nights also, thousands of people slept in bomb shelters for protection.

Spiritually we need a shelter from the missile flying by day and by night.
We live in a world, where fierce spiritual battles are being fought on all fronts. In these battles spiritual arrows and missiles are flying furiously in different directions, day and night.
However, due to the covering of the Blood of Jesus, we are shielded and able to live without fear, despite the raging battles.
The Blood of Jesus is our ever constant shield from the evil in the world. It protects us from sickness, from harm and from every evil arrow.
We have a covenant of protection with God through the blood of Jesus. . It is a covenant of exception, which means that what happens to the children of darkness is not permitted to happen to the children of light. There is need for us to understand that our case is different. By covenant, we are exempted from evil occurrences, untimely death, sickness, poverty, and every other evil in the world. And this covenant is based on the power that is in the Blood of Jesus.
In Exodus 12:13 God says ‘And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.’
By the mark of the blood of the lamb, death will always pass over us. Just as the case of Goshen was different by the Blood we are exempted from afflictions of the Egyptians. Psalm 91 says that when we make The Lord our refuge a thousand will fall by our side and ten thousand at our right hand yet it will not come near us. Why? Because we are protected by the blood of Jesus. His Name is a strong tower that we run into and we are safe.
The power in the Blood of Christ is ever sufficient to cover and protect us, no matter what may be going on in the world.
Indeed the Blood of Jesus is our spiritual ‘bomb shelter’ that protects us from the arrows of the wicked. The Blood continually surrounds us and speaks over our lives, ‘Touch not’ to every passing plague.
By His Blood, we have been made untouchable.
Indeed the Blood is our stronghold in battles and God’s protective wall of fire around us and our families.

In Zechariah 2:5 God says ‘For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.’

The Blood of Jesus is our divine seal and cover of fire .
Today, as we remain spiritually fervent through constant prayers, study of the Word and praise, surely by the Blood, no weapon formed against us shall ever prosper.

PRAYER: Father I thank You for shielding me from every evil through the Blood of Jesus. Today, I receive the fullness of the benefits Christ purchased for me at Calvary by His Blood. Indeed affliction can never arise a second time in my life in Jesus Name.
