2:3  At this point the angelic messenger who spoke to me went out, and another messenger came to meet him
2:4  and said to him, "Hurry, speak to this young man as follows: 'Jerusalem will no longer be enclosed by walls because of the multitude of people and animals there.
2:5  But I (the LORD says) will be a wall of fire surrounding Jerusalem and the source of glory in her midst.'"

2:11  "Many nations will join themselves to the LORD on the day of salvation, and they will also be my people. Indeed, I will settle in the midst of you all." Then you will know that the LORD who rules over all has sent me to you.
