Zechariah 2 is yet another difficult chapter in two parts. The first is a prophecy of how big Jerusalem will be and that God will be a wall of fire around her and that He will be the glory in the midst of the city.
The second part speaks of God calling the people of Israel from the North, to the Land of Israel. Furthermore, He also speaks of being in their midst and many nations joining themselves to them.
The question is…
Has any of this happened yet?
Let’s see if we can answer that.
Zechariah is the second-to-last prophet in the Hebrew Scriptures, and he is the last prophet to be murdered by Israel. And, when you read the Book of Malachi, you can see why Zechariah was murdered. Malachi also shows us that the prophecies of Zechariah are not for Second Temple Israel.
Even though Zechariah also speaks about his present day, the prophecies about the Last Days are the most powerful. When we get to the last chapter, there won’t be any confusion over whether he is a prophet of the Last Days. However, we have yet to start with Chapter 1.
So, let’s do that.
The books of Daniel and Zechariah fit closely with the Book of Revelation. Other prophets like Isaiah have much to say about Armageddon, the Millennium and even the Great Tribulation. But, Daniel and Zechariah have a specific focus that we should pay attention to, if we wish to understand the events of Revelation more clearly.
Furthermore, there are some descriptions in Zechariah that will change how you will think about key parts of Revelation.
As always, we will have more questions than answers, but we will do our very best to stick to what God actually says, instead of what we want Him to say.
Hey, I got Covid. And, it wasn’t very fun. Then, I got one of those nice big sinus-splitting, lung-filling bacterial infections. And, I’m not sure that the second infection waited for Covid to finish. And, I have no idea where I got any of that.
The good news is that it didn’t keep me from publishing the First Draft of the website where I will be hosting the unfulfilled prophecies spoken by God to the prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures. The site still needs work, but the core of it is up, running, and usable.
I have been working on a project for a few months that categorizes all the prophecies spoken by God through the prophets. The initial stage of this project is complete, and I am now getting ready to take a section of this database public.
I have been working against the clock on this, due to my uncertainty over how my Leukemia will progress. Praise God that this burden has been lifted from my shoulders, so I feel like I will be able to finish all phases of this project.
