2:6 耶和華說:「我從前分散你們在天的四方(原文是猶如天的四風),現在你們要從北方之地逃回。這是耶和華說的。
2:7 與巴比倫人同住的錫安民哪,應當逃脫。
2:8 萬軍之耶和華說,在顯出榮耀之後,差遣我去懲罰那擄掠你們的列國,摸你們的就是摸他眼中的瞳人。
2:9 看哪,我(或譯:他)要向他們掄手,他們就必作服事他們之人的擄物,你們便知道萬軍之耶和華差遣我了。
Up! Up! Flee from the land of the north,
declares the Lord. For I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the
heavens, declares the Lord. Up! Escape
to Zion, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon. For thus said the Lord of hosts, after his
glory sent me to the nations who plundered you, for he who touches you touches
the apple of his eye: "Behold, I will shake my hand over them, and they
shall become plunder for those who served them. Then you will know that the
Lord of hosts has sent me.

上帝雖然讓以色列人被亞述和巴比倫兩大強權滅了南國和北國,但是上帝仍然是看顧以色列人,沒有讓他們滅種,仍然可以回到故土。不僅如此,亞述被巴底倫滅了,巴比倫被波斯滅了,上帝真的進行審判。
同樣今日的基督徒,我們也要看見上帝的作為,祂也必保守我們。甚至在末世完全得贖的時候,上帝要勝過一切的仇敵,親自坐王!
我們要歡慶!上帝一定會做王,基督就是我們的王,將來我們更要同基督做王!
