Zechariah 2:7-11 CEV Leave Babylonia (false religion) and hurry back to Zion (the teachings of the true God)." (8) Then the glorious LORD () All-Powerful ordered me to say to the nations that had raided and robbed Zion (God's faithful people - today that's Christians): Zion is (Christians are) as precious to the LORD as are his eyes. Whatever you do to Zion, you do to him. (9) And so, he will put you in the power of your slaves, and they will raid and rob you. (People who raid and rob are not God's servants. He sometimes uses the wicked to accomplish his will.) Then you will know that I am a prophet of the LORD All-Powerful. (10) City of Zion, sing and celebrate! The LORD () has promised to come and live with you. (11) When he does, many nations will turn to him and become his people. At that time you will know that I am a prophet of the LORD All-Powerful.
