Zechariah 1:3-4 Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Return to Me," declares the LORD of hosts, "that I may return to you," says the LORD of hosts. 4 Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "Return now from your evil ways and from your evil deeds."' But they did not listen or give heed to Me," declares the LORD. Zechariah 1:8-9 I saw at night, and behold, a man was riding on a red horse, and he was standing among the myrtle trees which were in the ravine, with red, sorrel, and white horses behind him. 9 Then I said, "My lord, what are these?" And the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "I will show you what these are.” Zechariah 1:10-11 And the man who was standing among the myrtle trees answered and said, "These are those whom the LORD has sent to patrol the earth." So they answered the angel of the LORD who was standing among the myrtle trees, and said, "We have patrolled the earth, and behold, all the earth is peaceful and quiet." Zechariah 1:12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, "O LORD of hosts, how long wilt Thou have no compassion for Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, with which Thou hast been indignant these seventy years?" Zechariah 1:14-16 So the angel who was speaking with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, "I am exceedingly jealous for Jerusalem and Zion. 15 But I am very angry with the nations who are at ease; for while I was only a little angry, they furthered the disaster. 16 'Therefore, thus says the LORD, "I will return to Jerusalem with compassion; My house will be built in it," declares the LORD of hosts, "and a measuring line will be stretched over Jerusalem."' 1:1 Four Horsemen 1:18 Horns and Smiths: Judgment 2:1 Measuring Line: Flee Babylon 3:1 Eight Joshua the High Priest 4:1 Visions Zerubbabel & the Lampstand 5:1 Flying Scroll: Judgment 5:5 Woman and Basket: Shinar 6:1 Four Chariots 7:1 Two A Call for True Justice 8:1 Sermons A Promise of Future Restoration 9:1 Two Judgment on Enemies of Israel 12:1 Burdens The Coming of the Lord Zechariah 2:1-2 Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2 So I said, "Where are you going?" And he said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see how wide it is and how long it is." Zechariah 2:3-5 And behold, the angel who was speaking with me was going out, and another angel was coming out to meet him, 4 and said to him, "Run, speak to that young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle within it. 5 'For I,' declares the LORD, 'will be a wall of fire around her, and I will be the glory in her midst.'" Zechariah 2:10-11 "Sing for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion; for behold I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," declares the LORD. 11 "And many nations will join themselves to the LORD in that day and will become My people. Then I will dwell in your midst, and you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent Me to you. Zechariah 3:1-2 "Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2 And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a brand plucked from the fire?" Zechariah 3:3-7 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the Angel. Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And to him He said, “See, I have removed your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” (Holiness to the Lord) So they put a clean turban on his head, and they put the clothes on him. And the Angel of the Lord stood by. Then the Angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘If you will walk in My ways,And if you will keep My command,Then you shall also judge My house,And likewise have charge of My courts;I will give you places to walk Among these who stand here Zechariah 3:8 Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you-- indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch. Branch used as Messiah Isaiah 4:2 and 11:1 Jeremiah 23:5 and 33:15 John 15:5 Zechariah 3:9-10 "For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it," declares the LORD of hosts, "and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day," declares the LORD of hosts, "every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and under his fig tree." Priesthood Inscriptions Exodus 28:36 - You shall also make a plate of pure gold and shall engrave on it, like the engravings of a seal, 'Holy to the LORD.’ Exodus 39:30 - And they made the plate of the holy crown of pure gold, and inscribed it like the engravings of a signet, "Holy to the LORD.” Zechariah 14:20 - In that day there will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, "HOLY TO THE LORD." And the cooking pots in the LORD'S house will be like the bowls before the altar. 1:1 Four Horsemen 1:18 Horns and Smiths: Judgment 2:1 Measuring Line: Flee Babylon 3:1 Eight Joshua the High Priest 4:1 Visions Zerubbabel & the Lampstand 5:1 Flying Scroll: Judgment 5:5 Woman and Basket: Shinar 6:1 Four Chariots 7:1 Two A Call for True Justice 8:1 Sermons A Promise of Future Restoration 9:1 Two Judgment on Enemies of Israel 12:1 Burdens The Coming of the Lord Zechariah 4:1-3 And the angel who talked with me came again and woke me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a lamp stand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it. 3 And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.” Zechariah 4:6-7 6 Then 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 of hosts. 7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’ 1:1 Four Horsemen 1:18 Horns and Smiths: Judgment 2:1 Measuring Line: Flee Babylon 3:1 Eight Joshua the High Priest 4:1 Visions Zerubbabel & the Lampstand 5:1 Flying Scroll: Judgment 5:5 Woman and Basket: Shinar 6:1 Four Chariots 7:1 Two A Call for True Justice 8:1 Sermons A Promise of Future Restoration 9:1 Two Judgment on Enemies of Israel 12:1 Burdens The Coming of the Lord Zechariah 5:1-3 5 Again I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, a flying scroll! 2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll.

    Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr

    Notes on Zechariah 202 1 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable TITLE AND WRITER The title of this book comes from its traditional writer, as is true of all the prophetical books of the Old Testament. The name "Zechariah" (lit. "Yahweh Remembers") was a common one among the Israelites, which identified at least 27 different individuals in the Old Testament, perhaps 30.1 It was an appropriate name for the writer of this book, because it explains that Yahweh remembers His chosen people, and His promises, and will be faithful to them. This Zechariah was the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo (1:1, 7; cf. Ezra 5:1; 6:14; Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah, like Jeremiah and Ezekiel, was both a prophet and a priest. He was obviously familiar with priestly things (cf. ch. 3; 6:9-15; 9:8, 15; 14:16, 20, 21). Since he was a young man (Heb. na'ar) when he began prophesying (2:4), he was probably born in Babylonian captivity and returned to Palestine very early in life, in 536 B.C. with Zerubbabel and Joshua. Zechariah apparently survived Joshua, the high priest, since he became the head of his own division of priests in the days of Joiakim, the son of Joshua (Neh. 12:12, 16). Zechariah became a leading priest in the restoration community succeeding his grandfather (or ancestor), Iddo, who also returned from captivity in 536 B.C., as the leader of his priestly family (Neh. 12:4, 16). Zechariah's father, Berechiah (1:1, 7), evidently never became prominent.

    Advent Devotional December 25, 2020 Scripture Zechariah 2:10-13 10 Sing and Rejoice, O Daughter Zion! for Lo, I Will Come and Dwell in Your Midst, Says the LORD

    Advent Devotional December 25, 2020 Scripture Zechariah 2:10-13 10 Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! For lo, I will come and dwell in your midst, says the LORD. 11 Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in your midst. And you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 12 The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. 13 Be silent, all people, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling. Devotional The Rev. Nathan Carlson ’11 Every year, our family pulls out an antique, handcrafted nativity set to put up on Christmas morning. The scene still fills our children’s hearts with joy as I tell the story. Just prior to placing the infant Jesus in the manger, we share stories about what it means that Jesus came to earth as a human child. We hear echoes of this meaning found early in the Scriptures, such as this one from Zechariah 2. In verses 10-13 we hear the promise that the Lord “will come and dwell in your midst.” Every year, one or another of our children has a personal epiphany that the greatest present received on Christmas morning came long ago in the birth of this Christ child. During the placement of the pieces of the crèche, one of my favorite moments involves talking about the magi from the East—the ones who show up much later in the biblical story.

    Easy Reading Edition 9 May 21–27 A Brand (Stick) Plucked (Taken, Rescued) From the Fire SABBATH—MAY 21 READ FOR THIS WEEK’S LESSON: Zechariah 1–3; Revelation 12:10; Exodus 3:2–14; Ephesians 2:8–10; John 14:15. MEMORY VERSE: “I have taken your sin away. I will put fine clothes on you” (Zechariah 3:4, NIrV). WE MUST NOT FORGET THAT THE GREAT CONTROVERSY (WAR) BETWEEN CHRIST AND SATAN IS VERY REAL IN OUR LIVES. Wars, crime, riots, rebellions (uprisings), and human suffering are just visible (things that can be seen) examples of the great war that began in heaven (Revelation 12:7). This great struggle touches upon all creation (Romans 8:20–22). We also must never forget that the great controversy is not over Middle East oil or over geographic, political, and economic changes in the world. It is over the salvation of the human race, one soul at a time. Nations come and go. Governments come and go. Grand themes of history and philosophy (study of truth) come and go. Only those people who are covered by the robe of Christ’s righteousness will last forever. Satan does not care about money, power, or politics. He cares only about taking as many souls down to ruin with him as pos- sible. Through His death, Christ has made it possible to save everyone from that ruin. The important issue of the great controversy is people choosing eternal ruin or eternal life. Nothing else in this life is as important. 61 Lesson 9 A BRAND (STICK) PLUCKED (TAKEN, RESCUED) FROM THE FIRE SUNDAY—MAY 22 EAGER FOR JERUSALEM (Zechariah 1; Zechariah 2) Read Zechariah 1 and 2.

  • Joshua the High Priest

    Joshua the High Priest

    March 26, 2010 Joshua the High Priest Scripture Reading — Zechariah 3:1-10 “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.” Zechariah 3:4 — In the Bible, clothing is often a symbol of either sin or holiness. Joshua the high priest wears filthy clothes, a clear indication of his guilt. But when God forgives a person, the dirty garments of sin are replaced by clean robes of holiness. This is what happens to Joshua in this vision. It’s also why the book of Revelation portrays the multitude of believers wearing white robes. They all “washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb” (Revelation 7:14). That Lamb, of course, is Jesus. It’s interesting that “Joshua” is the Hebrew equivalent of the Greek name “Jesus.” In Zechariah’s vision, Joshua is the high priest who receives forgiveness, but in the New Testament Jesusisthehighpriestwhogivesit.In the OldTestament, high priests made atonement for sin by shedding the blood of animals. But as we read in Hebrews 9:11-12, “when Christ came as high priest … he did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves … he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood.” When Jesus was crucified, he was both priest and sacrifice. He was the ultimate “Joshua” dressed in the filthy clothes of our sin. He took our guilt on himself, and his righteousness became ours. God removed our sin so that we could be “clothed … with Christ” (Galatians 3:27).

    Norman Golb 7 December 2011 Oriental Institute, University of Chicago

    This article examines a series of false, erroneous, and misleading statements in Dead Sea Scroll museum exhibits. The misinformation can be broken down into four basic areas: (1) erroneous claims concerning Judaism and Jewish history; (2) speculative, arbitrary and inaccurate claims about the presumed “Essenes” of Qumran; (3) misleading claims concerning Christian origins; and (4) religiously slanted rhetoric concerning the “true Israel” and the “Holy Land.” The author argues that the statements, viewed in their totality, raise serious concerns regarding the manner in which the Scrolls are being presented to the public. Norman Golb 7 December 2011 Oriental Institute, University of Chicago RECENT SCROLL EXHIBITS AND THE DECLINE OF QUMRANOLOGY While significant advances have been made in Dead Sea Scrolls research over the past decade, defenders of the traditional “Qumran-sectarian” theory continue to use various publicity tools to push their agenda. These tools include, for example, the recent media campaign surrounding the claim that textiles found in the caves near Qumran “may” demonstrate that the site was inhabited by Essenes — a sensationalist argument that misleads the public with a mix of speculation and presuppositions.1 The tools have also included museum exhibits where efforts, either overt or subtle, are made to convince the public that the traditional theory is still viable. If we focus merely on the museums, we find that a noteworthy aspect of the exhibits involves the dissemination of certain erroneous and misleading facts concerning Jewish history and Christian origins. I here discuss some of the more obvious distortions, quoting from various exhibits of the past two decades.
  • Haggai and Zechariah 1-8: Diarchic Model of Leadership in a Rebuilding Phase

    Haggai and Zechariah 1-8: Diarchic Model of Leadership in a Rebuilding Phase

    http://scriptura.journals.ac.za/ Scriptura 102 (2009), pp. 579-593 HAGGAI AND ZECHARIAH 1-8: DIARCHIC MODEL OF LEADERSHIP IN A REBUILDING PHASE Danie O’Kennedy Old and New Testament University of Stellenbosch Abstract Yahwists in the post-exilic community in Jerusalem envisioned their future in diverse ways. The books of Haggai and Zechariah 1-8 emphasize that in a rebuilding phase God does not merely use a holy place but also special leaders. These books advocate a diarchic model of leadership in which the responsibilities are shared by a religious leader (Joshua) and a political leader (Zerubbabel). This article focuses on this diarchic model of leadership and offers possible responses to the following questions: What do we know of these two leaders? Why did Joshua need purification (Zech 3)? Who was the most influential leader or was there a balance of leadership? Was there conflict between these leaders? The article concludes with a comparison between the diarchic model of leadership in the post-exilic community in Jerusalem and leadership in the first years of a new democratic South Africa. Keywords: Haggai, Zechariah 1-8, Joshua, Zerubbabel, Leadership Introduction Birch et al. (1999:423-424) discuss the diverse ways in which Yahwists in the post-exilic community1 envisioned their future. According to them Haggai, Ezekiel 40-48 and Zechariah 1-8 (either Proto-Zechariah or First Zechariah)2 present the most concrete options. Ezekiel’s restoration vision represents a belief that Israel should be a hierocracy, a nation ruled by priests. Haggai seems to believe in the restoration of the Davidic monarchy through Zerubbabel, a member of the Davidic house.
  • Priests and Levites Martin C

    Priests and Levites Martin C

    The New Testament: The Good News of Jesus Christ Priests and Levites Martin C. Albl, PhD In modern times, we think of a priest or a minister as a person who has a special calling or vocation to serve God and God’s people. In ancient Judaism, however, the priesthood was hereditary—the tribe of Levi was set aside to serve as priests. Aaron, Moses’ brother, a member of the tribe of Levi, was the first priest, and all his male descendants were priests (see Ex 28:1). The entire tribe of Levi was set apart to oversee the worship of God, at first in the dwelling that contained the Ark of the Covenant, and later in the Temple (see Nm 1:47– 54, 8:5–26; 1 Chr 24). Male members of the tribe who were not sons of Aaron were known as Levites. They acted primarily as assistants to the priests in conducting the worship of the Lord (see Nm 18:1–5). Because they had been set aside for this special task, members of the tribe of Levi did not inherit a portion of the land of Israel, nor were they to work the land. Priests and Levites were supported directly through activities of worship. Portions of the sacrifices provided food for the priests, and the Levites were supported by tithes (see vv. 8–21). These tithes were essentially on crops; the Levites in turn were to give a tenth of their tithes to the priests (see vv. 21–32). Within the priestly families, Zadokite priests (descendants of Zadok, a priest who had anointed and supported King Solomon against his rivals [see 1 Kgs 1:38–39]) held a special position.

Preliminary exegetical research has revealed many connections between the three chapters. For instance, the occurs 17 times (versus four times in the rest of Zechariah). This (ביום־ההוא) ”phrase “in that day concentrated usage closely interconnects the three chapters and suggests that the timeliness of all of the events is in close succession.
