Good Morning “Sheep in The Fold”.  Today we are in Zechariah 11.In this chapter Zechariah gives us both short term prophecy we’ve already seen happen, and long term prophesy we await.  The images he portrays beautifully, are horrific when understood.  The strength of Lebanon (her cedars) will be  destroyed. Judgment is coming from the north through the mountain passes (doors) of Lebanon and Israel...  Read More

Good Morning “Joy Seekers”.  Today we are in Zechariah 10.Let it rain, let it rain!  If and when it rains it is because The Lord brings it!  He is The Provider.  Judah put their trust in idols, diviners and false teachers all of which proved empty (a lesson for us all).  Thus they wandered through life aimlessly, like sheep without a shepherd.  With no guidance from our Shepherd we, like them, fai...  Read More

Good Morning “Those Who See”.  Today we are in Zechariah 9.Chapters 9-11 gives us prophecy of the coming Messiah, Jesus, and His rejection by His own people.  Chapters 12-14 follow with the inspired account of Jesus’ second coming and His acceptance by the repentant Remnant.Israel’s rejection of Messiah shouldn’t surprise us.  Jesus did not come as many had imagined.  They were already accustomed ...  Read More

Good Morning “Limitless Faith.”  Today we are in Zechariah 8.“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,”‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬What if we limit our prayers because of our lack of true Biblical maturity, and spiritual intimacy with our Savior - our God?  Walk with me here for a moment… imagine you are Moses, fle...  Read More

Good Morning “Understanders of Gods Grace.” Today we are in Zechariah 7.  Judah had returned from Babylonian exile.  The Temple reconstruction was about half done.  While in exile they became accustomed to fasting during the 5th and 7th months of the year.  The fast in the fifth month commemorated the destruction of the temple (2 Kings 25:8-9).  The fast in the 7th month remembered the murder of G...  Read More

Good Morning “Holy Temples”. Today we are in Zechariah 6.“Mountains of bronze” speak to strength and judgment.  What Zechariah saw were four angels (“spirits of heaven”) going out into the world, without haste.  The colors of the chariot horses seem to correlate with different judgments.  If we compare them with the horses of apocalypse  we see in Revelation 6, we might conclude that red = war, bl...  Read More

Good Morning “Sin Leavers.”  Today we are in Zechariah 5.  Let’s talk about the imagery we see in the two visions given in today’s chapter.  Many believe the flying scroll represents ALL of the sin of Gods people, not just the 2 sins listed.  They suggest ALL of the sins of the 10 commandments are represented here - the sins on each of the two tablets.  They get the idea from the two sins listed o...  Read More

Good Morning “Foundation Builders.”  Today we are in Zechariah 4.  “So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.” Zechariah‬ ‭4‬:‭6‬ ‭NIV‬‬Zerubbabel was given the job of rebuilding the physical Temple.  Another, known as the “Son of David, Jesus, would come later.  He has gone ahead of us, not just to build a...  Read More

Good Morning “Washed in The Blood”.  Today we are in Zechariah 3.“Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.” Zechariah‬ ‭3‬:‭1‬ ‭NIV‬‬Satan… the never-ceasing accuser of God’s people. We see Satan the Accuser throughout Scripture (Job 1:8-11; Luke 22:31-32).But we have an advocate.  One that testifies on our ...  Read More

Good Morning “Future Anticipators.” Today we are in Zechariah 2.There is a lot going on in this chapter of Zechariah. In the short term Jerusalem was protected during the rebuilding phase, especially under Ezra and Nehemiah.  Ultimately she will experience The Lords protection through the Millennial Kingdom.  Hoards of people will descend upon the Holy City in that time… the point being made by th...  Read More

Good Morning “Welcomers of Grace.” Today we are in Zechariah 1.The prophet Zechariah brought Gods Word to Judah beginning around the 2nd year of King Darius.  If you’re tracking along you’re thinking… wait, that’s around the same time as Haggai preached to Judah.  You would be correct - within just a couple months.  Zechariah also called Judah to repentance, encouraged them as they were rebuilding...  Read More

Good Morning “Holy Temples”.  Today we are in Haggai 2.Yesterday we looked at the 1st Word from The Lord given through Haggai.  In short… “Get your priorities straight, and get back to work on my temple.”  We acknowledged this was not just a command to build a building but to build their faith, grow in Him, build His Kingdom.  The same distorted priorities limit our growth and service as well.The ...  Read More
