Christ is described as a wall of fire that protects His people, ensuring their safety in the midst of trials and tribulations.
In Zechariah 2:5, God promises that He will be a wall of fire around His people, symbolizing their protection and security. This image conveys the idea that no harm can come to God's elect that is not permitted by Him for their ultimate good and His glory. Moreover, this protection provides comfort amidst the world's hostility and the spiritual warfare Christians face. Christ Himself is our refuge, safeguarding us from the adversary's attacks and assuring us that we belong to Him eternally. This divine protection serves as a reminder of God's continued presence among His people, where He is both protector and source of glory.
