The Prophet Zechariah-Pt 2

This Bible Study continues looking at the Prophet Zechariah. It picks up with the sixth vision of the eight that were given to him portraying the final resoration of the nation Israel during the Millennial Reign of Christ. The vision of the flying scroll was a vision of sinners being judged for specifically the sins of stealing and swearing falsely. The seventh vision of the flying basket and the woman is about the wickedness of the nations and how wickedness and sin would be taken away from Israel, and one day they will be removed from the entire earth. The eighth vision of the four chariots shows God's Judgment on the world because they oppressed God's people. Zechariah then gives words of encouragement with regard to the future Messiah who is their King-Priest and will rule not only over His people, but over the entire world. After this, the prophet gave words of contemplation and rebuke regarding their questions related to fasts that they had established. Zechariah then concludes his messages while the Temple was being rebuilt by offering words of blessing, showing that God's purposes for Israel were unchanged! One day Messiah will reign in His earthy Kingdom!
