Meaning of WALL

Ancient cities were generally surrounded by walls for military defense. Jericho had a double brick wall with homes built as “bridges” between the two walls (Josh. 2:15).



Ancient cities were generally surrounded by walls for military defense. Jericho had a double brick wall with homes built as “bridges” between the two walls (Josh. 2:15).

The space between the walls constituted a "second line of defense", but people took advantage of it for commercial activities and housing. In Old Testament times the walls of Jerusalem had 34 towers and 8 gates.

In time of war archers shot from towers and walls and threw stones at attackers (2 Sam. 11:20-24). The Hebrew monarchy ended when the Babylonians destroyed the walls of Jerusalem (2 Chron. 36:17-19).

Nehemiah's most urgent mission was to rebuild them (Neh. 1:3; 2:8-20; 3:4; 6:15), since the walls represented protection. The heavenly city described in the Apocalypse has walls that can be symbolic or real, whose appearance is like precious stones.

The Jerusalem of the millennium is, on the other hand, a city without walls, like modern cities (and even the current Jerusalem, which extends throughout the territory around the ancient remains, which are archaeological relics), since the presence of God He will protect her (Rev. 21:12-14).

And Zechariah's prophecy is even more wonderful, for he says that there will be no need for walls in the New Jerusalem, since God Himself will be a "wall of fire" to protect the people from it (Zech. 2:4, 5).

The holiest place for Jews in modern Jerusalem is "The Wailing Wall." They believe that it was part of the foundations of Solomon's temple and that it enclosed the most holy place.



The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
In Christmas, the worlds of secular and spiritual come together.

The Transcendental Importance of Christmas

Philip Yancey
Unlike most people, I do not feel much Dickensian nostalgia at Christmastime. The holiday fell just a few days after my father died early in my childhood, and all my memories of the season are darkened by the shadow of that sadness.
The gospel is good news, and God will give them the peace they need to submit to Him.

The Message of Christmas

Charles Stanley
One of the messages that we learn from the Christmas story is that of peace. While God might appear overwhelming at times, He always wants to give us the assurance that with Him, peace reigns, even in the announcement of His Son’s birth.
Why is this analogy important to us today? It is because we are the sheep and Jesus is the Shepherd.

The Voice of the Shepherd

Charles Stanley
Have you ever seen a child who cannot find his mother in a crowd? Although she may be out of sight, the little tyke may still hear her voice. It is almost as though his inner radar scans the sounds around him, looking for that one familiar tone.
