For this is what the LORD Almighty says: “After He has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye” (Zechariah 2:8).

Satan, who is the god of this world, has blinded the minds of those who don’t believe. They are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News. They don’t understand this message about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.

It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

Like a bird that wanders from her nest,So is a man who wanders from his home.

Better to meet a bear robbed of her cubs than a fool bent on folly.

The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God.
