Discovering Jesus in Zechariah

Send us Fan MailThe episode, "The Branch, the Donkey, and the Pierced King," examines the Book of Zechariah as a prophetic blueprint for the life, death, and return of Jesus. The host discusses Zechariah's visions, starting with High Priest Joshua's filthy garments, which are removed by God to illustrate imputed righteousness through Jesus, who is called "the Branch". The discussion then covers the prophecy of the King's humble entrance on a donkey (Zechariah 9:9), contrasting His first coming for salvation with His future return to reign. Key prophecies are highlighted, including the exact fulfillment of Christ's betrayal for thirty pieces of silver and the profound statement, "They will look on Me, the One they have pierced" (Zechariah 12:10), establishing Christ's deity. This pierced One becomes the source of an open fountain for cleansing (Zechariah 13:1), concluding with the ultimate promise of the King's return to the Mount of Olives, when all common aspects of life will be consecrated as "HOLY TO THE LORD". Support the show
