Zechariah Chapter 1 Discussion

Denise,

If you put it in years, three score would be 60. A score is 20.

Question: What does threescore mean? How long is threescore?

Thanks Mishael,

That is a wonderful post.

Thank You Father The life of God flows in my blood and cleanses my arteries of all matter that does not pertain to life. My heart beats with the rhythm of life, carrying the Life of God throughout my body, restoring LIFE AND HEALTH ABUNDANTLY. ( John 17:23; Eph. 2:22).

I have a strong heart. Every heart beat floods by body with life and cleanses me of disease and pain. Ex. 23:25 Mark 11:23.

I command my blood cells to destroy every disease germ and virus that tries to inhabit my body. I command every cell of my body to be normal In Jesus' Name. Rom. 5:17; Luke 17:6

Every cell that does not promote life and health in my body is cut off from its life source. My immune system will not allow boils and infection to live in my body In Jesus' Name! Luke 17:6; Mark 11:2

I am redeemed from the curse of the law and my heart beats with the rhythm of life. The spirit and life of God's Word flows in me cleansing my blood of every disease and impurity.

The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death; therefore, I will not allow sin, sickness or death to lord over me! Rom 8:2; 6:13,14

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwells in me, permeating His life through my veins, sending healing throughout my body Rom 8:11.

In Jesus' Name I forbid my body to be deceived in any manner. Body, you will not be deceived by any disease germ or virus. Neither will you work against life or health in any way. Every cell in my body supports life and health.

Let's look at the principle that could be the key to you being a partaker of God's provision concerning your healing.

There is probably no other subject as important to your healing and health than the principle of CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT. We see in Romans 4:17-22 that Abraham became fully persuaded that God would do what He had promised. The way he became fully persuaded was by calling those things which were not manifest as though they were.

Mishael

Dear Ronnette, i feel the same blessings from all here at the KJV web site. This is comforting all things in me in this last days.

Love y all and God have give us a wonderfull tools.

God bless us in Jesus name

I had the most wonderful time this morning reading all comments and the explanations about this chapter after reading the entire Chapter 1. I thank God and praise The LORD for all of you. I seldom read something that really encourages me, specially when you are in bed sick and covered with boils. It is not like Job, but enough to pull you down. Despite that situation, I want you all to know, you all made me so comforted. I love to read from the saints comments all the time. I continue to pray for all of you and we continue to pray for Israel's safety and salvation. Agape.

Tim 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 We need to remember that angels are messengers but some are on the bad side of the

fence spiritually so to speak, those we will judge.

We will judge the angels! And are not to rise anyone or thing above our God in heaven and Jesus Christ.When we pass over into the heavenly realms will we be like the angels?

Genesis 22:18, Haggai 1:12-13, Genesis 48:15, Luke 11:28, 1 John 5:1-3, hopefully these are helpful.

There is also a search tab, where you can try searching the site.

I read in the old testament I think in Amos or Zackaria where a man obeyed God Daily and God blessed him, Do you know where that is please, dale

Verses 12-16-God discerned that the people needed more encouragement so he sent another angel. God will send us the encouragement we need if we are faithful to him.

Nella, I had a read of the whole chapter of Zechariah 1, particularly v 15, & wondered how you were looking at this verse. Do you feel that the LORD, Who is sovereign over all people & all things, only shows a great displeasure in the heathen standing against Israel, rather than doing something about it?

In this vision (or, dream) that came to Zechariah, the main message to the prophet was that though Israel would suffer at the hands of their enemies (& mostly because of Israel's own sin & disobedience), there would be a day coming when their enemies (now at ease), will be the ones to be dealt with by the LORD (Zech chap 12). This is a wonderful book depicting how God would one day (in the last days) re-visit His people & re-vitalize them with His Spirit, beginning with His Branch (Messiah, Jesus) of which Joshua was used as a type ( Zech 6:12). I'm sure present day Israel would be resting their hope in the surety of this prophetical book, but in grief they will see the Branch Whom they crucified coming to judge them & rule over them one day.

So, the 'Sovereignty of God' is not in question in that verse 15, nor in other similar verses that seemingly shows God 'doing nothing about the situation'. Rather, it again shows to us of how God is concerned about His people & will allow suffering to come to them for their learning but will surely intervene at His appointed Time when He will shower them with His blessings.

How does one reconcile Zechariah 1:15 with the sovereignty of God over all things?

Vs 18-21 can be seen as applicable in our lives today. We daily face the four horns of Lack of understanding, Limitations we place on ourselves, Frustations we encounter, and our Confidence that falls short. God sends His Carpenters daily to rebuild our lives, if we will submit to Him. His Peace that calms us, His Hope that strengthens us, His Faith that substains us, and His Love that s real.

Myrtle trees mean good things are about to happen, but "in the bottom" means that the situation could not be any worse. Behind the red horseman were red horses meaning more war and bloodshed, speckled or black and white horses. Black meaning all the ills of war and white meaning righteousness. So this could mean wars waged with death and famine plaguing the land followed by righteousness.

" Zech. 1:8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees." Night, here, means the kind of darkness over a land caused by war, famine, sickness, and disease. The man riding the red horse means the blood shed in war. But "he stood among the myrtle trees." Myrtle trees symbolize prosperity and good things to come.

Neither Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, or Media Persia scattered the children of Israel. Yes they were taken into captivity by these nations, but pretty much kept in tact as their identity and location were still known even during the time of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The fact 70yrs is mentioned in the vision denotes the passage as prophetic to occur in a future date beyond ZECHARIA's time.

Verse 4: If we had a bad parental example, we aren't doomed to follow their example. We can chose to do right.

Bruce; Why the relentless quarreling? Why the twisting of words and accusations? There are many "similes" used to describe the LORD's taking away of sins in His people... the depths of the sea, behind His back, removed as far as the east is from the west, etc... "Blessed are the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." So then the aggressive nit-picker and fault-finder inherits what?

disciple: The Lord has removed My Sins as far as The East is from The West. Psalms 103:12. I never heard of Him throwing sins behind Him! What Sins has He Thrown backwards? Some take Pride and sit on The Throne giving directions not Knowing they're on The Wide Road. In that Day Many will Say:Lord,Lord have We done many Wonderful Works? Matthew 7:13-23

(7-17); The LORD's city set upon a hill, all Nations have seen: yet who among all their great ones has ever taken to heart what God has done to Israel, so as to consider themselves lest they also fall into His hands! Instead they have wickedly embolden themselves to fill up their world with all that they have imagined to do, and do not repent; and add to wrath by persecuting the already punished.

(1-6); A precept that was spoken of the LORD in Moses; ( Leviticus 26:39-45); tells how WE in the end of days; when we do indeed confess our sins, and the sins of our ancestors, that we will with that humbled and penitent spirit, accept of the punishment from God, and amend our ways and our doings to walk in truth and do right in His sight. The condition of the world won't change until all is done.

Traditionally in Israel, horns are shofars, a call to war when they are lifted up. So the word horn is associated with war. Understand that scattered can mean troops, pilots or other military have left their homeland to fight foreign nations. It does not necessarily mean they have disbanded or fled their country in fear. I think it means they have been attacked and are responding with war.

The whole of the O.T. testifies of - Jesus

V. 18 - The 4 horns represent 4 kingdoms. Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Medo-Persia. All are symbols (for the N.T.) that enslaved the Israelites; a type of N.T. sin. The 4 carpenters. Zechariah is saying that God is going to send 4 carpenters to overthrow all these powers. There was a 5th carpenter who would be over all the 4 carpenters - Jesus Christ. He is the master carpenter, who builds us up.

Chapter 1 of Zachariah has a lot of revelations about our present world. God is a jalous God just as its writing. The world is full of adultery, fornication, murderer, workers iniquities, idol worshipers etc...The 4 horns are the result of our sins that have scattered our business, families, marriage, giving wars, think every bad situation in our lives. 4 carpenters from God to correct.

These are not war horsemen but messengers reporting to God. Keep the seals in mind. Vs 11 reported is the earth is at rest and that is mans one world system. Then in vs 12 you need to remember Daniels 70 weeks which was shorten for the elects sake in Rev chapter 9 to 5 months. So antichrist is on earth and deceiving the children and God is jellious.

Thanks for allowing the public access to your bountiful information.

Zachariah is a very interesting book. After reading this chapter, I had to read it again to get a better understanding of what it is saying. The commmentary on Zachariah one got my attention. I realy believe I was led to have this material for my devotion. Its amazing how he speaks to us, in some very unusual ways. He is an amazing friend.

Be filled with the Holy Spirit. Pray without ceasing. Seek the Lord in all that you do. Work and ask of no one that you may stand blameless before them .For this is good in the eyes of God. Know and understand the kingdom of God is not of this world . Paul tells us that faith without works is meaningless .But let our faith be seen ,that the glory of God shine ever so brightly
