The Pulpit Commentary on Zechariah 2:5

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

A wall of fire. She will not need walls. God will be her protection, not only defending her from attack, but consuming the enemy who may presume to assault her (comp. Deuteronomy 4:24; Psalms 68:2). The glory; εἰς δόξαν ἔσομαι.

God will make his glory conspicuous by the mighty deeds he will do in Jerusalem and the providential care he will take of her. He shall be known to be dwelling there, as he revealed his presence by the pillar of fire and the Shechinah (comp.

Isaiah 60:1, Isaiah 60:2, Isaiah 60:19).
