We have learned previously how to stand on the walls of Jerusalem and watch, so that if the enemy approaches we can sound the alarm, but there is more to our duty than simply defense. In our walking to and fro atop the wall we are to watch over the citizens who live within these walls, and to pray over them until the walls of the New Jerusalem are erected, and the Lord Jesus takes His throne. We are to lift up the needs of God’s children, not because it is our job, but because we love them as God does. We will not rest, and neither will our Father, until our Savior returns, the New Jerusalem is reestablished, and His kingdom assumes its full glory.
