Summary

The message draws parallels between the cooperation of Haggai and Zechariah in building the temple and the coming unity of the New Covenant church. The core message emphasizes trusting God to be a 'wall of fire' for protection rather than relying on human defenses. Furthermore, the speaker stresses that the believer's ultimate glory must rest solely in Jesus Christ, not in personal achievements, culture, or material possessions.

Outline

The message in plain words, in the order it unfolds. Select a time to jump the video to that moment.

Haggai and Zechariah working togetherThe older prophet Haggai and the younger prophet Zechariah worked together to build the temple, picturing New Covenant believers building the church.

Freedom from jealousyGod gave more prophecies to the younger man, but Haggai was not jealous, and true believers must never harbor jealousy over spiritual or earthly matters.

Reading Haggai and ZechariahBelievers should read these two Old Testament books to understand the preparation for New Covenant truths.

A wall of fire around JerusalemIn Zechariah chapter 2, the Lord promises to be a wall of fire around Jerusalem and the glory in her midst.Zechariah 2:5

Insecurity in the worldHuman wealth and physical walls cannot protect people from sickness, poverty, and enemies, so we must trust God entirely for protection.

Learning to depend on God aloneThe speaker learned in his twenties not to depend on human beings for defense, but to let the Lord be a wall of fire round about him.

Jesus as the glory in our midstJust as God is a wall of fire, He must also be our only glory, rather than our own capabilities, education, or status.

Culture is not ChristianityCulture and refinement are not the same as Christianity, and believers must accept and love people who lack social polish.

Avoiding pride over our advantagesGlorying in anything other than Jesus Christ causes people to automatically despise others who lack their education, wealth, culture, or tidiness.
