Zechariah Chapter 9

Zechariah Chapter 9

Gentle dating...times of the Gentle. Coming to a close because the day of the Lord will be soon.

Ezekiel - phrase 50 times "and then they will know that I am the Lord". Ch26.-Tyre - seige never worked against them. They just moved to an island.

Alexander destroys Tyre and scrapes the city off the rock just like Ezekiel said God would do. When Alexander went back to Jerusalem which refused to help him destroy Tyre, he didn't destroy Jerusalem because He had a dream and it included seeing the priest outside of Jerusalem.

The Lord of Hosts means the Lord of the Armies.

Double imputation - you have to have positive righteousness.

Ezekiel, Lucifer was behind Tyre, so that is why the Lord is so viscous about Tyre.

In this 70 weeks of time all the prophecies will be sealed up and done.

Jewish year is 360 days not 365 in Gentle. So 490 years in Daniel 9. Note...70x7 forgiveness is 490

Luke 19...this is the calendar day the Lord locked in.

Entrance into Jerusalem us the one time Jesus allowed praise of Himself.

Judgment begins at the House of God - us. Good allows stuff to happen to prune us. Run and not be weary. Walk and not be faint.

God's Word is good to the very day He tells about through the Bible.

Catharsis - Catherized heart - free flowing - emotional release

John 12

I. Review of Mary and Martha

A)   Works versus love—(I Cor. 13:3)

B)   How are we identified as Christians?  (John 13:34, 35) If we are loving, we will bear much fruit...we are image bearers. 

C)   How do we get love? (Hebrew Ahab and Hessed)  (II Peter 1:5-7) Virtue went out from Jesus when the woman touched his hem. Goal for a Christian, be complete. Change from a Martha to a Mary

Zechariah 2 - Visions 2 & 3

Zechariah means Jehovah remembers. His dad's name means ? 

Angels are always helper angels. 

Holy Spirit is really our teacher.  He teaches us ALL things.

This book is quoted frequently in NT. Like Rev. With 500 OT references.

Vision 2 - horns - meaning? Righteous? What is the Greek? Vision 1-- measuring line. V15-16 get expanded in later verses.

Selah - means consider or think about it. Joshua 1:8 word means ruminate-bring back up again and again.

Lord will make you dig when studying scripture.

Measuring line in Ezekiel. Largest temple complex in the world. Measuring line usually means an expansion. Dedication of wall starts a timeline. Daniels time. Zechariah is dated in Gentile time - Luke 21.

Biography of Jerusalem - read 

Apple of my eye - in this verse it is the pupil. focused.

Zechariah

Vision over eight parts.

Angel of the Lord is preincarnate Christ.

First part. Man is Angel of the Lord. First Angel of the Lord was to Haggar while fleeing from Sarah. Genesis c16,-18, 21,22,24. Exodus 3:6, Joshua 5:13. 1 Chronicles 21:12-17. Red horse signifies war. Represents Israel's blood. Revelation 6:4. 

There is an angel with Zechariah the whole time. Different from Angel of the Lord.

Other colored horses are looking through the earth. White horse represents victory. So, things wee happening in the world to cause change. Things are happening in the world today for the same reason...God is working on people. Yet, people are accountable for their own actions.

Myrtle trees are indicative of Israel. Angel of Lord on a red horse. Angel of Lord (preincarnate Christ) is destroying Israel. Asks how long God will punish them. 

The Exiled Life 1Peter 1 - Hope

Hope. How to survive as an exile? Hope!

V3a. Who is God? God is the Father of Jesus, His Son.

3a Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 


V3b. Who am I?  We are sons and daughters of God.

3b In his great mercy (pity or compassion) he has given us new birth into a living hope (Spiritually, God's blood goes through our veins) through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead (this is our hope),...

V4. What does my future look like? Hope! Inheritance is forever, and it is secure forever!

4 ...and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you.

V5. How long? When God decides.  What is the inheritance? V8-Jesus

5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
