This paper discusses the book of Zechariah. This is a post exile prophecy. Zechariah is largely eschatological and apocalyptic in his outlook. Another prophet of about the same time was Haggai who also wrote to Judah. All scriptures are from the King James' version Bible.

ZECHARIAH THEME:

GOD SOVEREIGNTY OF GLORIOUS MESSIANIC COMING TO ESTABLISH HIS ISRAEL KINGDOM & CONTROL OVER THE EARTH

Zechariah 3:8-9 "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. {9} For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." BRANCH is Jesus

Zechariah 14:3-5 "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. {4} And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. {5} And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."

Zechariah 14:9 "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one."

Zechariah 1:1 "In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"

Darius: King of Babylon allows some 50,000 people to return to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple. Building is ceases when Zerubbabel (governor) refuses the help of the Samaritans (mixed blood Jews and gentiles). They send letters to Babylon. 4 kings later they build.

Berechiah: Name means blessed of Lord.

Iddo: Name means great calamity. A Priest (see Nehemiah scriptures above). The Grandfather of Zechariah.

Prophet: A spokesman for another, as for God. Other names/titles in the Bible are as follows: Man of God; Servant of the Lord; Messenger of the Lord; and Seer (to see).

Exodus 7:1-2 "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. {2} Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land."

Jeremiah 1:7 "But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I <am> a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."

Amos 3:7-8 "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. {8} The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?"

1 Samuel 9:9 "(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for <he that is> now <called> a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)"

Exodus 7:1-2 "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet. {2} Thou shalt speak all that I command thee: and Aaron thy brother shall speak unto Pharaoh, that he send the children of Israel out of his land."

Numbers 11:29 "And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, <and> that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!"

Jeremiah 1:7 "But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I <am> a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak."

John 15:15 "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."


1 Corinthians 12:28 "And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues."

Prophet would meet the following:

- Spoke only in the name of the Lord (Yahweh).

- God had a special calling for him to by a prophet.

- His life matches his position. He did not practice divination.

- Do not assume signs and wonders prove his position.

- His God given prophecies came to pass.

Deuteronomy 13:1-3 "If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, {2} And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; {3} Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul."

2 Thessalonians 2:9 "<Even him>, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,"

- His message was in harmony with previous revelation. History will confirms his authenticity.

Deuteronomy 18:21-22 "And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? {22} When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that <is> the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, <but> the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him."

- Moral quality and spiritual essence of the message.

- Inner witness to the Holy Spirit believer.

- Test the prophets revelation against what the Bible states.

1 Corinthians 14:29 "Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge."

Holy Scriptures:

God's word is above that of His name:

Psalms 138:2 "I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name." God's words is most important.

Word of God is Jesus (God's name) who is in every Scriptures:

Isaiah 55:11 "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." The Bible, scriptures, are God's words.

Psalms 40:7 "Then said I, Lo, I come: in the volume of the book <it is> written of me," (fulfilled see Hebrews 10:7) The Bible is centered on Jesus (God) before & after He is manifested in flesh.

John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God & the Word of God.

(34) And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. {Zechariah 5:2}


(35) Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. {Zechariah 5:3}


(36) I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. {Zechariah 5:4}


(37) Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. {Zechariah 5:5}


(38) And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth. {Zechariah 5:6}


(39) And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. {Zechariah 5:8}


(40) Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? {Zechariah 5:10}


(41) And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. {Zechariah 5:11}


(42) Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? {Zechariah 6:4}


(43) And the angel answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. {Zechariah 6:5}


(44) And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. {Zechariah 6:7}


(45) Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country. {Zechariah 6:8}


(46) And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD: {Zechariah 6:12}


(47) And to speak unto the priests which were in the house of the LORD of hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, separating myself, as I have done these so many years? {Zechariah 7:3}


(48) Speak unto all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When ye fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh month, even those seventy years, did ye at all fast unto me, even to me? {Zechariah 7:5}


(49) Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: {Zechariah 7:9}


(50) Therefore it is come to pass, that as he cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the LORD of hosts: {Zechariah 7:13}


(51) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. {Zechariah 8:2}


(52) Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. {Zechariah 8:3}


(53) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age. {Zechariah 8:4}


(54) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If it be marvellous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvellous in mine eyes? saith the LORD of hosts. {Zechariah 8:6}


(55) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country; {Zechariah 8:7}


(56) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the LORD of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. {Zechariah 8:9}


(57) But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the LORD of hosts. {Zechariah 8:11}


(58) For thus saith the LORD of hosts; As I thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the LORD of hosts, and I repented not: {Zechariah 8:14}


(59) And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD. {Zechariah 8:17}


(60) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts; therefore love the truth and peace. {Zechariah 8:19}


(61) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; It shall yet come to pass, that there shall come people, and the inhabitants of many cities: {Zechariah 8:20}


(62) And the inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, Let us go speedily to pray before the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts: I will go also. {Zechariah 8:21}


(63) Thus saith the LORD of hosts; In those days it shall come to pass, that ten men shall take hold out of all languages of the nations, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, We will go with you: for we have heard that God is with you. {Zechariah 8:23}


(64) And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in his name, saith the LORD. {Zechariah 10:12}


(65) Thus saith the LORD my God; Feed the flock of the slaughter; {Zechariah 11:4}


(66) Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed be the LORD; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not. {Zechariah 11:5}


(67) For I will no more pity the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD: but, lo, I will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the land, and out of their hand I will not deliver them. {Zechariah 11:6}


(68) Then said I, I will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another. {Zechariah 11:9}


(69) And I said unto them, If ye think good, give me my price; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver. {Zechariah 11:12}


(70) And the LORD said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter in the house of the LORD. {Zechariah 11:13}


(71) And the LORD said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd. {Zechariah 11:15}


(72) The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him. {Zechariah 12:1}


(73) In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. {Zechariah 12:4}


(74) And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the LORD of hosts their God. {Zechariah 12:5}


(75) And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. {Zechariah 13:2}


(76) And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. {Zechariah 13:3}


(77) But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth. {Zechariah 13:5}


(78) And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends. {Zechariah 13:6}


(79) Awake, O sword, against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, saith the LORD of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: and I will turn mine hand upon the little ones. {Zechariah 13:7}


(80) And it shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the LORD, two parts therein shall be cut off and die; but the third shall be left therein. {Zechariah 13:8}


(81) And
I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. {Zechariah 13:9}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1st Vision: Man among the Myrtle Trees & Drove of Horses 1:7-1:17

Zechariah 1:7 "Upon the four and twentieth day of the eleventh month, which <is> the month Sebat, in the second year of Darius, came the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,"

Word of the Lord unto Zechariah:

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and nightthat thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Zechariah 1:8 "I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that <were> in the bottom; and behind him <were there> red horses, speckled, and white." Zechariah had all eight visions one night. Though the visions are each distinct, they however form one whole.

Myrtle Trees: Symbolizes Israel. They are 8 feet, but this is at the bottom or a tree crushed that emits a sweet fragrance.

Red horses, speckled, and white: Red symbolizes blood, war & death Speckled symbolizes bay of pail or sorrel. White symbolizes victory

Revelation 6:4 "And there went out another horse <that was> red: and <power> was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword."

Zechariah 1:9 "Then said I, O my lord, what <are> these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will show thee what these <be>."

Zechariah 1:10 "And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These <are they> whom the /\ LORD /\ hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth."

These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro..earth: Angels and demons

Job 1:7 "And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it."

See my paper: "Jewish Bible Teachings on Heaven, Hell & Spirit Beings" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOW SUBJECTS. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 1:11 "And they answered the angel of the /\ LORD /\ that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest."

Angel of the Lord: Pre-incarnate Jesus. See my paper Jesus in the Old Testament.

Exodus 3:2-4 "And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush <was> not consumed. {3} And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. {4} And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here <am> I."

KEYWORD: ANGEL OF THE LORD, JESUS {ZECHARIAH 1:1112:8}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(1) And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. {Zechariah 1:11}

(2) The angel of the LORD answered, LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem {Zechariah 1:12}

(3) The LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words {Zechariah 1:13}

(6) In that day, the house of David shall be as God, as the angel of the LORD before them {Zechariah 12:8}

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zechariah 1:12 "Then [ angel of the /\ LORD /\ ] answered and said, O /\ LORD /\ of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on [ Jerusalem ] and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?" 70 years of Jeremiah.

These threescore and ten years (70):

Jeremiah 25:11 "And this whole land shall be a desolation, <and> an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years."

Zechariah 1:13 "And the /\ LORD /\ answered the angel that talked with me <with> good words <and> comfortable words."

Zechariah 1:14 "So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, [ Thus saith the ] /\ LORD /\ of hosts; /\ I /\ am jealous for [ Jerusalem ] and for Zion with a great jealousy."

I am jealous for Jerusalem & Zion..displeased with heathen at ease:

Jeremiah 25:12 "And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are accomplished, <that> I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the LORD, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans, and will make it perpetual desolations."

Daniel 9:2 "In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem."


Daniel 9:24 "Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy."

Zechariah 4:3 "And two olive trees by it, one upon the right <side> of the bowl, and the other upon the left <side> thereof."

Two olive trees by it: Two is symbolic of unity (Jesus as both King & High Priest as one Zechariah 6:13). Olive tree is symbolic of Israel in Romans 11:24.

Matthew 20:20-22 "Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's children with her sons, worshipping him, and desiring a certain thing of him. {21} And he said unto her, What wilt thou? She saith unto him, Grant that these my two sons may sit, the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, in thy kingdom. {22} But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I shall drink of, and to be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with? They say unto him, We are able."

Revelation 11:3-6 "And I will give <power> unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred <and> threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. {4} These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. {5} And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. {6} These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will." Model Moses & Elijah ministries. Some believe this is Enoch & Elijah the two people who never died.

Zechariah 4:4 "So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What <are> these, my lord?" For each vision, Zechariah asked angel a question. He gets his answer in verse 14.

Zechariah 4:5 "Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord."

WHAT: Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.

Zechariah 4:6 "Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This <is> the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by /\ my /\ /\ spirit /\, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts." God's way.

Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord:

2 Corinthians 10:4 "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)"


2 Corinthians 12:10 "Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."


See my paper: "God the Holy Spirit / Ghost Scriptures & Notes" SCRIPTURES & NOTES THAT SHOW THE HOLY SPIRIT IS GOD & A MANIFESTATION OF THE TRIUNITY GODHEAD for more information on this subject.


KEY VERSES:

Zechariah 1:3 "Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts."

Zechariah 4:6 "Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This <is> the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts."God's way.


MAJOR VERSE: Also 1:3. Oil is a symbol for the Holy Spirit.

Zechariah 4:7 "Who <art> thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel <thou shalt become> a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone <thereof with> shouting, <crying>, Grace, grace unto it." Mountain overcome. Headstone = Jesus; Grace = un-merited favor.

Great mountain..,grace:

Mark 11:23 "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."

See my papers: "Grace" for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 4:8 "Moreover the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ came unto me, saying,"

Word of the LORD:

See my paper: "God's Word/Bible/Scriptures" HOW GOD REVEALS HIMSELF; WRITTEN AND ORAL; SAFE GUARDS ON HIS WORD. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Bible Study & Interpretation Guideline" PRESENTED IS HOW TO STUDY SCRIPTURE SYSTEMATICALLY. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 4:9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this [ house ]; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the /\ LORD /\ of hosts hath sent me unto you."

Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house & shall finish it

John 2:19 "Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

1 Corinthians 3:10-11 "According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. {11} For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."

Zechariah 4:10 "For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel <with> those seven; they <are> the eyes of the /\ LORD /\, which run to and fro through the whole earth."

Seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to fro.whole earth: Eyes are symbolic of all seeing and all knowing. Seven is the number of completion and perfection. See notes on 4:2 & Isaiah 11:1-2.

Haggai 2:3 "Who is left among you that saw this house in her first glory? and how do ye see it now? is it not in your eyes in comparison of it as nothing?"

Zechariah 4:11 "Then answered I, and said unto him, What <are> these two olive trees upon the right <side> of the candlestick and upon the left <side> thereof?" Second time asked.

Zechariah 4:12 "And I answered again, and said unto him, What <be these> two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden <oil> out of themselves?"

Golden: Symbolic of purity.

Oil out of themselves: Holy Spirit as never ending source.

1 John 2:27 "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

Zechariah 4:13 "And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these <be>? And I said, No, my lord."

Two olive branches..are two anointed ones..stand by Lord of earth:

Revelation 11:3-4 "And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth."

Two witnesses prophesy: 2 Olive trees. Olive tree symbolic Israel. These two are Jewish. In Revelation 11:5-6 they model Moses & Elijah ministries. Some believe these to be the two people in the Bible who never died (Elijah and Enoch). Two Witnesses: Deut 17:6, 19:15; Job 33:14; Matt 18:16; 2 Cor 13:1

Zechariah 4:14 "Then said he, These <are> the two anointed ones, that stand by the /\ Lord /\ of the whole earth."Jesus is the earth Lord.

6th Vision: Flying Roll 5:1-5:4

IN CHAPTER 5 – ISRAEL IS A LIGHT TO WORLD

Zechariah 5:1 "Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll." Roll = scroll

Flying roll..is curse..everyone that steal's or swear's is cut off:

Zechariah 5:2 "And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof <is> twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits." cubit = 1.5 - 2 feet

Zechariah 5:3 "Then said he unto me, This <is> the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off <as> on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off <as> on that side according to it."

Curse..stealeth (Eighth Commandment)..sweareth (Third Commandment):

Deuteronomy 27:26 "Cursed <be> he that confirmeth not <all> the words of this law to do them. And all the people shall say, Amen."

Matthew 5:34, 37 "But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: {37} But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."

James 5:12 "But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and <your> nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation."

See my paper: "Jewish Bible Teachings on Heaven, Hell & Spirit Beings" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOW SUBJECTS. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 5:4 "/\ I /\ will bring it forth, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof."

7th Vision: Woman in the Ephah 5:4-5:11

Zechariah 5:5 "Then the angel that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what <is> this that goeth forth."

Zechariah 5:6 "And I said, What <is> it? And he said, This <is> an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This <is> their resemblance through all the earth." Ephah = 3 pt measurement basket

Zechariah 5:7 "And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this <is> a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah."

Women: The Hebrew word wickedness is feminine in gender.

Proverbs 2:16 "To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;"

Zechariah 5:8 "And he said, This <is> wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof." Weight = evil which could not be held down.

This is wickedness: Moral, religious, and civil evil.

2 Thessalonians 2:6-8 "And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. {7} For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth <will let>, until he be taken out of the way. {8} And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:"

1 John 2:15-16 "Love not the world, neither the things <that are> in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. {16} For all that <is> in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

Zechariah 5:9 "Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind <was> in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven." Stork=occult

Zechariah 5:10 "Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah?" ephad: see Zechariah 5:6

Zechariah 5:11 "And he said unto me, To build it an [ house ] in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base."

Land of Shinar: Name means scatter every way. Chaldaea & Babylonia

Jeremiah 29:28 "For therefore he sent unto us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long: build ye houses, and dwell in them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit of them."

8th Vision: Four Chariots 6:1-8 & Crowning of High Priest 6:10-15

Zechariah 6:1 "And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains <were> mountains of brass."

Four Chariots: Four angels to destroy

Revelation 6:2-8 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. {3} And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see. {4} And there went out another horse <that was> red: and <power> was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword. {5} And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand. {6} And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and <see> thou hurt not the oil and the wine. {7} And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see. {8} And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth."

Zechariah 6:5 "And the angel answered and said unto me, These <are> the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the /\ Lord /\ of all the earth."

Zechariah 6:6 "The black horses which <are> therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country."

Zechariah 6:7 "And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth." To and fro: See Zechariah 1:10

Zechariah 6:8 "Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my spirit in the north country."

Zechariah 6:9 "And the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ came unto me, saying,"

Zechariah 6:10 "Take of <them of> the captivity, <even> of Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah;"

Zechariah 6:11 "Then take silver and gold, and make crowns, and set <them> upon the head of Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest;"

WAY: Behold the man whose name <is> The BRANCH he shall build the temple

Deuteronomy 9:18 "And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger."

2 Samuel 12:16 "David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth."

- To seek the Lord's will.

Daniel 9:3 "And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:"

Fasting key scriptures:

Isaiah 58:4-8 Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as <ye do this> day, to make your voice to be heard on high. {5} Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? <is it> to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes <under him>? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? {6} <Is> not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? {7} <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 from thine own flesh? {8} Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward."

Matthew 17:19-21 "Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? {20} And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. {21} Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting."

Zechariah 8:3 "[ Thus saith the ] /\ LORD /\; /\ I /\ am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of [ Jerusalem ]: and [ Jerusalem ] shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the /\ LORD /\ of hosts the holy mountain." Jesus is truth (John 14:6). He will rule from Jerusalem

Zechariah 8:10 "For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; neither <was there any> peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men every one against his neighbour."

Zechariah 8:11 "But now /\ I /\ <will> not <be> unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts."

Zechariah 8:12 "For the seed <shall be> prosperous; the vine shall give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and /\ I /\ will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these <things>."

Zechariah 8:13 "And it shall come to pass, <that> as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Judah, and house of Israel; so will /\ I /\ save you, and ye shall be a blessing: fear not, <but> let your hands be strong." See also Zechariah 10:6

Zechariah 8:14 "For [ thus saith the ] /\ LORD /\ of hosts; As /\ I /\ thought to punish you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, saith the /\ LORD /\ of hosts, and /\ I /\ repented not:"

Zechariah 8:15 "So again have /\ I /\ thought in these days to do well unto [ Jerusalem ] and to the house of Judah: fear ye not."

Zechariah 8:16 "These <are> the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the [ judgment ] of truth and peace in your gates:" See also Zechariah 7:9-10

Speak ye the truth...execute the judgment of truth...peace in gate:

IV) ENCOURAGE & HOPE: {ZECHARIAH 9:1-14:21}

A) 1ST BURDEN/ORACLE - DIVINE WARRIOR/RESTORE: {ZECHARIAH 9:1-11:11}

Zechariah 9:1 "The burden of the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ in the land of Hadrach, and Damascus <shall be> the rest thereof: when the eyes of man, as of all the tribes of Israel, <shall be> toward the /\ LORD /\."

Lord against northern countries probably by Alexander the Great:

Hadrach: No other scripture reference.

Damascus: Syria

Zechariah 9:2 "And Hamath also shall border thereby; Tyrus, and Zidon, though it be very wise." Coastal cities.

Hamath: Amos 6:2

Tyrus: Phoenician, Lebanese

Zidon: Phoenician, Lebanese

Zechariah 9:3 "And Tyrus did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets." Tyre means rock. It was an Island fortress.

Tyrus did build herself a strong hold .. the Lord will cast her out:

Ezekiel 26:4 "And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, and break down her towers: I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her like the top of a rock."

Zechariah 9:4 "Behold, the /\ Lord /\ will cast her out, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire."

Zechariah 9:5 "Ashkelon shall see <it>, and fear; Gaza also <shall see it>, and be very sorrowful, and Ekron; for her expectation shall be ashamed; and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited."

Ashkelon: Jeremiah 47:5

Ekron: Philistia northernmost city

Zechariah 9:6 "And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and /\ I /\ will cut off the pride of the Philistines." Bastard or foreigner.

Ashdod: Philistines (eventually named Palestine). Also Canaan.

Zechariah 9:7 "And /\ I /\ will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, <shall be> for our /\ God /\, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite."

Jebusite: Ancient inhabitants of Jerusalem were absorbed into city.

Zechariah 9:8 "And /\ I /\ will encamp about mine [ house ] because of the army, because of him that passeth by, and because of him that returneth: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes."

I will encamp about mine house:

Psalms 34:7 "The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."

WHAT: Thy King cometh unto thee: he <is> just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass

Zechariah 9:9 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of [ Jerusalem ]: behold, thy /\ King /\ cometh unto thee: /\ he /\ <is> just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." Donkey is lowly animal for servant.

King cometh..riding upon an ass..colt the foal of an ass:

Isaiah 62:11 "Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward <is> with him, and his work before him."

Matthew 21:5 "Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass."

See my paper: "Jesus in the Old Testament" MANY OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES SHOWN THAT THE ANGEL OF THE LORD IS PRE-INCARNATE JESUS CHRIST. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "Messianic Prophecies That Jesus Fulfilled" OLD TESTAMENT SCRIPTURES PROPHECIES & THEIR NEW TESTAMENT FULFILLMENT BY JESUS. for more information on this subject.

WAY: His dominion <shall be> from sea <even> to sea, and from the river <even> to the ends of the earth

Zechariah 9:10 "And /\ I /\ will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from [ Jerusalem ], and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion <shall be> from sea <even> to sea, and from the river <even> to the ends of the earth."

His dominion shall be from sea to sea..to the ends of the earth:

Psalms 22:27-28 "All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. {28} For the kingdom <is> the LORD'S: and he <is> the governor among the nations."

See my paper: "Jesus Life, Events & Identity" JESUS KEY EVENTS SHOW HIS LIFE & IDENTIFY WHO HE IS. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 9:11 "As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant /\ I /\ have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein <is> no water"

By the blood..covenant..I have sent forth prisoners out of the pit: Probably Moses covenant. Pit without water.

Genesis 37:24 "And they took him, and cast him into a pit: and the pit <was> empty, <there was> no water in it." Joseph.

Zechariah 9:12 "Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even to day do /\ I /\ declare <that> /\ I /\ will render double unto thee;"

I will render double unto thee:

Isaiah 61:7 "For your shame <ye shall have> double; and <for> confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them."

Zechariah 9:13 "When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man."

Zechariah 9:14 "And the /\ LORD /\ shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the /\ Lord /\ /\ GOD /\ shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south."

Zechariah 9:15 "The /\ LORD /\ of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and subdue with sling stones; and they shall drink, <and> make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, <and> as the corners of the altar."

Zechariah 9:16 "And the /\ LORD /\ their /\ God /\ shall save them in [ that day ] as the flock of his people: for they <shall be as> the stones of a crown, lifted up as an ensign upon /\ his /\ [ land ]."

Zechariah 9:17 "For how great <is> /\ his /\ goodness, and how great <is> his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids."

Zechariah 10:1 "Ask ye of the /\ LORD /\ rain in the time of the latter rain; <so> the /\ LORD /\ shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field."

Latter rain..Lord shall give them showers of rain..grass in fields:

Joel 2:23 "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first <month>."

Former rain and later rain: See my paper: "Early & Latter Rain". Many religious groups use this scripture as a end time ministry. They believe that God will save many in the end days or give them super-natural signs and wonders to heal & to restore the dead.

See my paper: "Former & Latter Rains" PARALLEL OF SOWING FOR ISRAEL ARE PRESENTED WITH FUTURE PROBLEMS ISRAEL WILL ENCOUNTER for more information on this subject.

CONCLUSION: Therefore

Zechariah 10:2 "For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because <there was> no shepherd."

Idols spoke vanity..diviners..seen lie..false dreams..vain comfort:

Genesis 31:19 "And Laban went to shear his sheep: and Rachel had stolen the images that <were> her father's." Household gods.

Zechariah 10:3 "Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I punished the goats: for the /\ LORD /\ of hosts hath visited his flock the house of Judah, and hath made them as his goodly horse in the battle."

Flock was troubled, because no shepherd.Mine anger against shepherd

Ezekiel 34:5 "And they were scattered, because <there is> no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered."

Ezekiel 34:22-23 "Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between cattle and cattle. {23} And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, <even> my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd."

Ezekiel 34:31 "And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, <are> men, <and> I <am> your God, saith the Lord GOD."

See my paper: "Church Officers and Their Qualifications" THE FIVE FOLD MINISTRIES & THE DEACON MINISTRY ARE PRESENTED for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 10:4 "Out of him came forth the corner, out of him the nail, out of him the battle bow, out of him every oppressor together." Corner could be Jesus (Cornerstone).

Zechariah 10:5 "And they shall be as mighty <men>, which tread down <their enemies> in the mire of the streets in the battle: and they shall fight, because the /\ LORD /\ <is> with them, and the riders on horses shall be confounded."

WHY: I will save the house of Joseph; I have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though I had not cast them off

Zechariah 10:6 "And /\ I /\ will strengthen the house of Judah, and /\ I /\ will save the house of Joseph, and /\ I /\ will bring them again to place them; for /\ I /\ have mercy upon them: and they shall be as though /\ I /\ had not cast them off: for /\ I /\ <am> the /\ LORD /\ their /\ God /\, and will hear them." Judah/Joseph = southern/northern kingdoms united.

I have mercy upon them as though I had not cast them off, I am God: See also Zechariah 8:13

Micah 7:18-19 "Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy. {19} He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea."

See my paper: "Israel & Jewish People in God's Plan" JESUS JEWISHNESS, ISRAEL, JERUSALEM, & JEWS IN GOD'S PLAN; JEWS & GENTILE SALVATION for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 10:7 "And <they of> Ephraim shall be like a mighty <man>, and their heart shall rejoice as through wine: yea, their children shall see <it>, and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the /\ LORD /\."

Zechariah 10:8 "/\ I /\ will hiss for them, and gather them; for /\ I /\ have redeemed them: and they shall increase as they have increased."

Redeemed: To buy back.

1 Corinthians 6:20 "For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

Zechariah 10:9 "And /\ I /\ will sow them among the people: and they shall remember me in far countries; and they shall live with their children, and turn again."

WHILE: I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt

Zechariah 10:10 "/\ I /\ will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria; and /\ I /\ will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and <place> shall not be found for them."

I will bring them from Egypt, Assyria, Gilead and Lebanon:

Isaiah 11:11 "And it shall come to pass in that day, <that> the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea."

Jeremiah 16:15 "But, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers."

Jeremiah 23:3 "And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase."

Zechariah 10:11 "And he shall pass through the sea with affliction, and shall smite the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry up: and the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt shall depart away."

Zechariah 10:12 "And /\ I /\ will strengthen them in the /\ LORD /\; and they shall walk up and down in /\ his /\ name, [ saith the ] /\ LORD /\."

Walk..in his name:

See my paper: "Walk as Jesus Walked" PRESENTED ARE THE WALKS OF THE CHRISTIAN DISCIPLE. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 11:1 "Open thy doors, O Lebanon, that the fire may devour thy cedars."

Zechariah 11:2 "Howl, fir tree; for the cedar is fallen; because the mighty are spoiled: howl, O ye oaks of Bashan; for the forest of the vintage is come down."

Zechariah 11:3 "<There is> a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their { glory } is spoiled: a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is spoiled."

Zechariah 11:4 "[ Thus saith the ] /\ LORD /\ my /\ God /\; Feed the flock of the slaughter;"

Zechariah 11:5 "Whose possessors slay them, and hold themselves not guilty: and they that sell them say, Blessed <be> the /\ LORD /\; for I am rich: and their own shepherds pity them not."

Zechariah 11:6 "For /\ I /\ will no more pity the inhabitants of the [ land ], [ saith the ] /\ LORD /\: but, lo, /\ I /\ will deliver the men every one into his neighbour's hand, and into the hand of his king: and they shall smite the [ land ], and out of their hand /\ I /\ will not deliver <them>."

Zechariah 11:7 "And /\ I /\ will feed the flock of slaughter, <even> you, O poor of the flock. And /\ I /\ took unto me two staves; the one /\ I /\ called Beauty, and the other /\ I /\ called Bands; and /\ I /\ fed the flock."

Zechariah 11:8 "Three shepherds also /\ I /\ cut off in one month; and my soul loathed them, and their soul also abhorred me."

Zechariah 11:9 "Then said /\ I /\, /\ I /\ will not feed you: that that dieth, let it die; and that that is to be cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest eat every one the flesh of another."

Zechariah 11:10 "And /\ I /\ took my staff, <even> Beauty, and cut it asunder, that /\ I /\ might break /\ my /\ covenant which /\ I /\ had made with all the people."

I might break my covenant ..made with all the people:

See my paper: "God's Dispensation & Covenant Plans" AN OVERVIEW OF THE CREATION DISPENSATIONAL & COVENANT (WITHIN EACH DISPENSATION) PLANS ARE SHOWN for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 11:11 "And it was broken in [ that day ]: and so the poor of the flock that waited upon me knew that it <was> the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\."

Zechariah 11:13 "And the /\ LORD /\ said unto me, Cast it unto the potter: a goodly price that I was prised at of them. And I took the thirty <pieces> of silver, and cast them to the potter in the [ house ] of the /\ LORD /\."

Thirty pieces of silver...cast it unto the potter:

Jeremiah 18:2 "Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words."

Matthew 27:9-10 "Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him that was valued, whom they of the children of Israel did value; {10} And gave them for the potter's field, as the Lord appointed me."

Zechariah 11:15 "And the /\ LORD /\ said unto me, Take unto thee yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd."

Zechariah 11:16 "For, lo, /\ I /\ will raise up a shepherd in the [ land ], <which> shall not visit those that be cut off, neither shall seek the young one, nor heal that that is broken, nor feed that that standeth still: but he shall eat the flesh of the fat, and tear their claws in pieces."

Zechariah 11:17 "Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword <shall be> upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened."

SECOND BURDEN/ORACLE: Jerusalem's final siege; Jesus return & kingdom

Zechariah 12:1 "The burden of the [ word ] of the /\ LORD /\ for Israel, [ saith the ] /\ LORD /\, which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man within him."

The word of the LORD for Israel:

See my paper: "The One God - The Shama" THE KEY BIBLE SCRIPTURE FOR ONE GOD IS DEUTERONOMY 6:4. THE WORD FOR GOD IS A PLURALITY, & THE WORD FOR ONE IS A COMPOUND UNITY. THIS IS THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE FOR GOD WHO IS A TRIUNITY PLURALITY ONE UNITY. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 12:2 "Behold, /\ I /\ will make [ Jerusalem ] a cup of trembling unto all the people round about, when they shall be in the siege both against Judah <and> against Jerusalem."

I will make Jerusalem cup of trembling unto all people round about:

Isaiah 51:17 "Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the LORD the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, <and> wrung <them> out."

See my paper: "Restoration of the Kingdom of God to Israel" ISRAEL IS GODS CALENDAR TO EVENTS. JEWS WILL BE RESTORED & SAVED for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 12:3 "And in [ that day ] will /\ I /\ make [ Jerusalem ] a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it."

In that day: See Zechariah 14:1

Daniel 12:1 "And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation <even> to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book."


1 Thessalonians 5:2-4 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. {3} For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. {4} But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.”

Revelation 1:7 “Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.”

All the people of the earth gathered together against it: Zechariah 14:3

Revelation 16:14-16 "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, <which> go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. {15} Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed <is> he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. {16} And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."

Zechariah 12:4 "In [ that day ], [ saith the ] /\ LORD /\, /\ I /\ will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and /\ I /\ will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness."

I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah:

Psalms 33:18 "Behold, the eye of the LORD <is> upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;"

Zechariah 12:5 "And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of [ Jerusalem ] <shall be> my strength in the /\ LORD /\ of hosts their /\ God /\."

Zechariah 12:6 "In that day will /\ I /\ make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and [ Jerusalem ] shall be inhabited again in her own place, <even> in [ Jerusalem ]."

Judah like hearth of fire:

Isaiah 1:31 "And the strong shall be as tow, and the maker of it as a spark, and they shall both burn together, and none shall quench <them>."

Zechariah 12:7 "The /\ LORD /\ also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the house of David and the { glory } of the inhabitants of [ Jerusalem ] do not magnify <themselves> against Judah."

Zechariah 12:8 "In [ that day ] shall the /\ LORD /\ defend the inhabitants of [ Jerusalem ]; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David <shall be> as /\ God /\, as [ angel of the /\ LORD /\ ] before them."

The Lord defend Jerusalem:

Exodus 7:1 "And the LORD said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet."

David as God as angle of the LORD:

Jeremiah 33:15 "In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land."

Zechariah 12:9 "And it shall come to pass in [ that day ], <that> /\ I /\ will seek to destroy all the nations that come against [ Jerusalem ]."

I will seek to destroy all nations that come against Jerusalem:

WHAT: I will pour upon the house of David the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced

Zechariah 12:10 "And /\ I /\ will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of [ Jerusalem ], the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for <his> only <son>, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for <his> firstborn."

I will pour upon the house of David spirit of grace & supplication:

Isaiah 32:15 "Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest."

Zechariah 13:1 "In [ that day ] there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of [ Jerusalem ] for sin and for uncleanness."

A fountain opened to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin:

Revelation 7:17 "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."

Zechariah 13:3 "And it shall come to pass, <that> when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the /\ LORD /\: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth."

Zechariah 3:8-9 "Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. {9} For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day." BRANCH is Jesus

Zechariah 14:3-5 "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. {4} And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south. {5} And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee."

Zechariah 14:9 "And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one."

Lord's name one:

Deuteronomy 6:4 "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God <is> one LORD:"

John 10:30 "I and <my> Father are one."

Ephesians 4:4-6 "<There is> one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; {5} One Lord, one faith, one baptism, {6} One God and Father of all, who <is> above all, and through all, and in you all."

See my paper: "Just Who Is God" GOD CAN NOT BE DIVIDED. GOD IS A QUALITATIVE ONE TRIUNITY NOT THREE SEPARATE PERSONS. for more information on this subject.

See my paper: "The One God - The Shama" THE KEY BIBLE SCRIPTURE FOR ONE GOD IS DEUTERONOMY 6:4. THE WORD FOR GOD IS A PLURALITY, & THE WORD FOR ONE IS A COMPOUND UNITY. THIS IS THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE FOR GOD WHO IS A TRIUNITY PLURALITY ONE UNITY. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 14:10 "All the [ land ] shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of [ Jerusalem ]: and it shall be lifted up, and inhabited in her place, from Benjamin's gate unto the place of the first gate, unto the corner gate, and <from> the tower of Hananeel unto the king's winepresses."

Zechariah 14:11 "And <men> shall dwell in it, and there shall be no more utter destruction; but [ Jerusalem ] shall be safely inhabited."

Zechariah 14:12 "And this shall be the plague wherewith the /\ LORD /\ will smite all the people that have fought against [ Jerusalem ]; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth."

Zechariah 14:13 "And it shall come to pass in [ that day ], <that> a great tumult from the /\ LORD /\ shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour."

Zechariah 14:14 "And Judah also shall fight at [ Jerusalem ]; and the wealth of all the heathen round about shall be gathered together, gold, and silver, and apparel, in great abundance."

Zechariah 14:15 "And so shall be the plague of the horse, of the mule, of the camel, and of the ass, and of all the beasts that shall be in these tents, as this plague."

WHILE: Every one that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD

Zechariah 14:16 "And it shall come to pass, <that> every one that is left of all the nations which came against [ Jerusalem ] shall even go up from year to year to worship the King, the /\ LORD /\ of hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles."

Everyone of all the nations shall go up to Jerusalem at tabernacles:

Luke 21:24 "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." In 1967 Jerusalem was no longer under Gentile control. A new era began. The next era is the Millennial with Jesus on His throne in Jerusalem. All peoples will come up to worship Him there.

Zechariah 14:17 "And it shall be, <that> whoso will not come up of <all> the families of the earth unto [ Jerusalem ] to worship the King, the /\ LORD /\ of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain."

Zechariah 14:18 "And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that <have> no <rain>; there shall be the plague, wherewith the /\ LORD /\ will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."

Zechariah 14:19 "This shall be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all nations that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles."

Zechariah 14:20 "In [ that day ] shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE /\ LORD /\; and the pots in the /\ LORD’S /\ [ house ] shall be like the bowls before the altar."

HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD:

See my paper: "Christian Growth" PRESENTED IS THE STEPS A CHRISTIAN COULD GO THROUGH ONTO PERFECTION. for more information on this subject.

Zechariah 14:21 "Yea, every pot in [ Jerusalem ]m and in Judah shall be holiness unto the /\ LORD /\ of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe therein: and in [ that day ] there shall be no more the Canaanite in the [ house ] of the /\ LORD /\ of hosts."
