Zechariah Part 11

When pondering chapter 11 of Zechariah, it is clear that the return of the Jews to Israel, under the Persian Empire was NOT the Redemption of Israel. This chapter prophesies the continuation of Israel’s sinfulness and corruption, after they return to Israel – knowing that they were cast out because of it.

This also prophesies the sacrifice of our Lord. How he would be betrayed by 30 pieces of silver. This is tragic beyond belief, but a great blessing to you and me, because there was no other way that we could be adopted into the household of God.

Zechariah Part 9

Chapter 9 of Zechariah is a difficult one. It talks about the First Coming and the Millennium. About a new covenant that will be spread to the ends of the earth. It also seems to talk about the Redemption of Israel and Armageddon. Or, maybe not.

Zechariah Part 7

Zechariah 6 is the end of the vision that began in chapter 1. And, it also speaks again about the four horses, but it adds a something new to their description.

They are the Four Spirits that go forth from the Lord. And, they sound a lot like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Chapter 6 ends with a crown for Joshua the High Priest, and how this six chapter prophecy will be confirmed. Even more important, this prophecy speaks of Jesus coming and building the Third Temple – the Body of Christ.

Zechariah Part 4

Zechariah 3 gives us prophetic visions of the past and the future. It also raises a few questions and shows us when Zechariah began his ministry. And, we will yet again see a direct connection with the Book of Revelation, as well as a few interesting translation errors.

We will see one of the few conditional prophecies, as well as phrases that are hard to pin down. Timing is everything, and there are a couple of phrases here that I bet have tripped up many people.

Oh, and the unfulfilled prophecies database has a new home.
