Part 2-Zechariah's 8 Night Visions...
6. The VISION Of The Flying Scroll. (Zechariah 5:1-4)
This was a VISION of sinners being judged. Specifically the sins of stealing and swearing falsely by the name of the LORD are mentioned here.
The focus here is on the sin of individuals.
7. The VISION Of The Flying Basket And The Woman. (Zechariah 5:5-11)
The woman in the basket represents the wickedness of the nations.
The angel packed the woman back into the basket with lead and sent her back to the land of Shinar (i.e. Babylon) which had become a symbol of the center of idolatry and wickedness.
This was a picture to ZECHARIAH that wickedness and sin would be taken away from ISRAEL; and one day sin will be removed from the entire earth.
8. The VISION Of The Four Chariots. (Zechariah 6:1-8)
The horses represent GOD’S JUDGMENT on the world. The black horse and the white horse were sent north, the direction from which most of JUDAH’S enemies came. (BABYLON, ASSYRIA, and in the future GOG and MAGOG.) These horses executed GOD’S JUDGMENT in the north country.
The grisled horse went to the south country. (Egypt)
The bay (red) horses are seen as patrolling the world ready to execute JUDGMENT at GOD’S COMMAND.
JUDGMENT will come upon those who oppress GOD’S PEOPLE! It will come in GOD’S time and at HIS COMMAND.
We've Seen ZECHARIAH'S MESSAGE For JUDAH To RETURN To The LORD. (1:1-6)
We've Seen ZECHARIAH'S Night VISIONS. (1:7 – 6:8)
C. We See ZECHARIAH’S Words Of Encouragement. (Zechariah 6:9-15)
This VISION is about the MESSIAH, WHO will be the KING-PRIEST.
MESSIAH will RULE over HIS PEOPLE and over the entire world.
D. We See ZECHARIAH’S Words Of Contemplation and Rebuke.
(Zechariah 7:1-14)
(Vs 1-7) For the previous 70 years while JUDAH was in exile, the people had been holding FASTS in August and October.
The FAST in August was to commemorate the destruction of JERUSALEM. (Jeremiah 52:12-13)
The FAST in October was held to commemorate the murder of the Governor of Jerusalem, Gedaliah who was murdered. (Jeremiah 40:8; 41:1-3, 15-18)
Here we see that a delegation was sent to inquire about these FASTS that they had been observing. They wanted to know if they should continue these FASTS now that they were back in JERUSALEM and things were being rebuilt.
The LORD, through the PROPHET ZECHARIAH, REBUKED them for their HYPOCRISY.
He showed them that the FASTS they observed were for their own purposes in the first place, not for the LORD.
He accused them of not fasting or feasting once in the way that they should have in all of their 70 years of captivity.
Not one of the fasts or feasts that the LORD had commanded them to observe is mentioned here.
Both FASTS that were mentioned had something to do with calamity that fell upon JERUSALEM and the REMNANT left after the city was destroyed.
They were not FASTING for GOD’S GLORY, but for themselves. God wanted them to see their selfishness.
(Vs 8-14) Here GOD showed them the reason why their prayers had not been answered. It was because of their SIN, their REFUSAL TO HEAR, and their outright HARDENING OF THEIR HEARTS to the PROPHETS who came to them before the exile.
E. We See Zechariah’s Words Of Blessing. (Zechariah 8:1-23)
(Vs 1-8) Here GOD shows that HIS PURPOSE is unchanged and that JUDAH will yet be BLESSED BY HIM.
One day MESSIAH will reign in HIS earthly KINGDOM.
Vs 6–GOD is saying here, “What seems unbelievable to you is no great thing for me.” With GOD all things are possible!
(Vs 9-17) Again the PEOPLE OF GOD are encouraged to get to work. This encouragement came from a view of GOD’S BLESSINGS yet to come if they were obedient to continue on in their labors and in right living.
(Vs 18-23) GOD said that the FASTS that had been held in the past to mark times of calamity in the nation of JUDAH and in JERUSALEM would in the future become days of feasts because of the wonderful blessings upon them in the days of their MESSIAH.
The JEWS who are hated so now by so many will be respected highly throughout the world.
This concluded the MESSAGES that were given while the TEMPLE was being rebuilt.
