Walls

99 scripture references across 48 subtopics — Nave's Topical Bible

Overview

Throughout Scripture, walls serve as powerful metaphors for protection, security, and separation. God uses walls to defend His people, yet false prophets build unstable walls that cannot withstand His judgment. The ultimate wall dividing Jews and Gentiles was broken down through Christ's redemptive work.

Key Scriptures

"My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken." (Psalm 62:3, NIV)

"Because you have rejected this message, relied on oppression and depended on deception, this sin will become for you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly, in an instant." (Isaiah 30:13, NIV)

"I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land." (Jeremiah 15:20, NIV)

"For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility." (Ephesians 2:14, NIV)

Application

Trust in God's protective strength rather than building false security through human effort or deception.
