    All those who fought against Jerusalem shall keep the feast of tabernacles every year or else have no rain after the Lord redeems Jerusalem. Does that mean we will have Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Syria keeping the feast or suffering drought? Perhaps. It may go much wider than that as well. In…

  • Did ye fast unto me?

    When the chosen people question the value of their fasting the Lord reminds them that keeping the letter of the law is off little value when they refuse to keep the Spirit of the law. Their fasting was to check a box of to be seen as righteous but their hearts were not tuned to…

  • Why good tidings now?

    Why was Zechariah bringing good tidings to Jerusalem at that time? He was to call them to repentance and remind them that their fathers had ignored comparable calls to repentance so it doesn’t sound like these promises are based on their behavior. Rather, it seems that the Lord is making promises to demonstrate His faithfulness…

    I wonder about the Lord purifying the sons of Levi. Part of me thinks He has begun that process and another part feels like that is something he will do openly after he comes. As I think about it, and considering what I know of devout modern Jews, I believe the process has started but…

    Who could hear of the millennial reign of Christ and not desire to experience such peace and justice?

    Perhaps it was I’m reaction to the fact that Israel he recently rejected the Lord as their king – seeking a mortal king instead – but the psalmists seem to be intent on reminding the people that He is their true king.

  • Haggai and Zechariah

    Haggai and Zechariah were both passing on the same time period as Ezra. We don’t know a whole lot about them but this further demonstrates what an extraordinary time that was. Zechariah prophesies of the second coming of Christ and may possibly have seen the vision of eternity.

  • Zechariah

    Zechariah was contemporary with Haggai and I didn’t realize it before but it sounds like Zechariah had the vision of eternity. He definitely had a vision of the end times and that generally comes as part of that complete vision. Many have wondered about the prophecy that the lost tribes will come from the land…

    Zechariah 13 – 14 The declaration that “I am no property, I am an husbandman,” makes it sounds as if the Savor will come in disguise at His second coming. That doesn’t sound right to me. Perhaps that image is just how the vision was presented to Zechariah. During the war in heaven the third…
