In the Spirit's Power - William W. Prescott

So built we the wall; and all the wall was joined
together unto the half thereof; for the people had a
mind to work.”
God’s Wall for His People
We read in Mark that a certain man planted a
vineyard and set a hedge about it. What was the
hedge for?--Protection. The Lord brought up His
vine out of Egypt, and set it anew, and built a
hedge about it. That is the purpose of a wall--to
protect and keep out the enemy; but the wall must
be complete. God has built a wall for His people.
The law is this protection, but in order to be a
complete protection, it must be a complete wall.
Our safety is in having a complete wall; but they
have broken down the wall sadly. It is God’s
purpose to have it built again. “Is not this the fast
that I have chosen,” He says, “to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that
ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to
the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are
cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked,
that thou cover him, and that thou hide not thyself
