Apple of His eye

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the portion of Yahuah is His people; Jacob is the lot of His inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste, a howling wilderness. He encircled him and cared for him; He guarded him as the pupil (apple) of His eye. As the eagle stirs up its nest; it hovers over its young; it spreads out its wings and takes it, and bears it on its wing. Yahuah alone led him, and there was no strange god with him – Deuteronomy 32:9-12.

Who is the apple of Yahuah’s eye?

His inheritance is Jacob, changed later to Israel to be the apple of His eye. It is Jacob’s decedents and as we will read in Zechariah 2:11 people from other nations are called His people as well.

Is this a land, or a particular place or is it a people Yah has chosen for His inheritance?

Zechariah 2:5 ‘For I Myself am to her,’ declares Yahuah,‘ a wall of fire all around, and for esteem I am in her midst.’”

Yahuah will protect her, not a government, or a religion but the Almighty.

Zechariah 2:6-7 “Oh, Oh! And flee from the land of the north,” declares Yahuah, “for I have scattered you like the four winds of the heavens,” declares Yahuah. “Oh, Tsiyon! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babel.”

Yahuah is telling His people that are scattered around the world to come out of Babel. Take note it is the daughter of Babylon that His people must come out of or escape from. Who is the daughter of Babylon?

 

Zechariah 2:8 For so says Yahuah of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory, to the nations who plundered you; for he who touches you touches the pupil (apple) of His eye.

At this present moment His people who are the apple of His eye is scattered around the world enslaved in a worldly system.

 

Zechariah 2:9 “For look, I am waving My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. And you shall know that Yahuah of hosts has sent Me.

The time will come when Yahuah will wave His hand against those nations where His people are scattered.

 

Zechariah 2:10 “Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Tsiyon! For look, I am coming, and shall dwell in your midst,” declares Yahuah.

His Ruach (Spirit) is now in the midst of His people.

Zechariah 2:11 “And many gentiles (other nations) shall be joined to Yahuah in that day, and they shall become My people. And I shall dwell in your midst. And you shall know that Yahuah of hosts has sent Me to you.

Very clear in this verse who Yahuah’s people are (His apple of His eye).

 

 

 

 

 

Confirmed in Isaiah 14:1 Because Yahuah has compassion on Ya’aqob (Jacob), and shall again choose Yisra’el (Israel), and give them rest in their own land. And the strangers shall join them, and they shall cling to the house of Jacob.

 

Micah 4:2 And many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahuah, to the House of the Elohim of Ya’aqob (Jacob), and let Him teach us His ways, and let us walk in His paths. For out of Tsiyon comes forth the Torah, and the word of Yahuah from Jerusalem.”

His people shall know Yahuah and also who Yahuah has sent to bring His people back to Him.
