"Zechariah Part 5" by John Little from "Revelation Six"

 

Zechariah Part 5 John Little Sep 7   READ IN APP   Zechariah 4 shows us yet another direct connection with the Book of Revelation. This time, it is the two Olive Trees and the Two Witnesses that we see in Revelation 11. But, there is one difference. In Zechariah 4 there is one candlestick and in Revelation there are two. And, the candlestick in Zechariah is described differently than the one in Revelation. Is this difference significant? We also see the Seven Eyes which are the Seven Spirits of God that go through all the earth. They are also talked about in Revelation 5 AND Zechariah 3. Are you starting to see how important Zechariah is? ———————————— Keep this ministry alive with a donation. Thanks for reading Revelation Six! This post is public so feel free to share it.

But, in chapter 4 God speaks to Zerubbabel who is the governor of Judah. Where else have we heard of this Zerubbabel ben Shealtiel? Well, they came to Jerusalem with Ezra to build the Temple at the command of Cyrus, King of Persia - which was 550 BC. But, they didn't complete it by the time Artexerxes I came along more than 60 years later and told them to stop. It sounds like - even though they had resistance from the locals - they still dawdled in their work. So, when the High Priest in Zechariah 3 was described as having 'filthy garments' it was probably well deserved. He and Zerubbabel didn't do their jobs as well as they should have. But, then about 60 years later, in the second year of Darius II in 425 BC, Haggai stood up with young Zechariah and told them to get back to work on the Temple. And, they did. Now, as we start looking at Zechariah 4, we are only halfway through the prophecy that began in chapter 1, and will finish at the end of chapter 6. As I have said before, the chapter breaks are only about 800 years old, and were not made by men who were true followers of God.
