ZECHARIAH THE PROPHET – LESSON 3
VISION ONE: RIDER AND HORSES
Zechariah (Yahweh Remembers) was a popular name applied to nineteen different bible characters, but none was as significant in his work as the prophet who wrote this book. It is the longest book of the thirteen minor prophets, so called “minor” only because they are much shorter than the writings of Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel which are called the “major prophets.”
Zechariah 1:7-17 records the first “night vision” given to him by God. He saw a “man” riding a red horse followed by a number of other red, white, and speckled horses. The “man” was then standing among myrtle trees as the prophet asked the angel of the LORD the meaning of the rider and horses.
An angel said, “they were those whom the LORD had sent to walk to and fro through the earth.” Their report was that the earth was “still” and at “rest”, indicating peace.
Indeed, the “known world” of that time was at peace. Babylon had fallen to the Persian empire and there was no more war. Slaves that had been held by Babylon were now released by Persia to return to their homeland.
The angel spoke of the seventy years of Babylonian exile but questioned (verse 12, paraphrased), “how long (LORD) will you withhold mercy on Jerusalem and Judah?” This question was asked because the Temple where God’s presence should dwell, was not yet rebuilt. Preliminary work started fourteen years earlier but had been halted with no further progress.
God’s answer was that His “house” (Temple) would indeed be built. Verse 16 says, “a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem,” indicating the building activity would resume. The “line” is used by builders to assure all features are accurate in “Plumb” and “measure.”
Indeed, as a result of the prophetic encouragement of Zechariah and Haggai, the construction resumed and was completed.
Then in verse 17 we see a remarkable prophecy for future times. God said, “My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad. And the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.”
Zion is generally speaking of the future earthly kingdom of Messiah, with cities throughout the earth and Jerusalem as the Messiah’s capitol of the world. This verse looks forward to Christ’s future kingdom which we await. We shall have a part in it.
Be faithful to the LORD, and you shall have your part as “king and priest” in Zion.

MOTIVES OF THE HEART
Jesus was in the synagogue and was watching people put in their offerings. He watched as rich people put money in and then a poor widow came in and put two mites which was about two cents or less into the offering box. It wasn’t much compared to what the rich people gave, but Jesus made a statement about it.
Luke 21:2-3 says, “1 And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasure. 2 And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3 And he said, ‘Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4 For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury (poverty) hath cast in all the living that she had.’”
Many think it is the amount that we give that matters to God, but it is not true. It is the heart’s motive behind our giving. This woman gave from her heart all she had because she loved God. The rich gave out of their abundance a small amount out of “duty” to give.
When we give, it must be from the heart, or we might as well not give at all. It isn’t the amount we give; it is the heart attitude in giving that counts. Yes, we should give to God and his church, but let it be out of joy that we have something to give.
This widow had to have loved God more than anything to “give her all.” Like this woman, when we put God first then what we have no longer matters, because we give it all to Him to do as He wants. When we get to a place when having “things” no longer matters, then we have the right attitude. God isn’t against us having things, but it is when “things” have us that He looks at us with the same attitude Jesus had.
Never let things be your reason to serve God. He will take care of the things when we take care of Him. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
You can never go wrong giving to God be it a widow’s mite or a million dollars.

PROPHETIC WORD
5-18-2020
Just as water falling upon the earth through a refreshing rain brings new life, I shall bring water to your dry and weary soul. For you have labored and yielded yourself to me and have pressed through, saith the Lord. For I am refreshing you now with the well spring of life. Shall you not taste it on your tongue and know that I am refreshing you? For the hours ahead will require the refreshing more than ever. Come aside and let me water your full self. Your spirit, your soul, your body. For you are weary, and you must take this time to be refreshed. The wounds and scars are many. Come unto me my beloved and let me tend to those wounds and let them be healed saith the Lord. For in the hour ahead you will need more strength than ever to continue in the call I have laid before you. I will show you the path, but only one step at a time. For the days ahead as are of the old ones that wrote of this time. For surely they are here and I will bring you through. You have been chosen for this hour, for such a time as this, for you are called to be light in a world of darkness. Do not try to question the assignment or the reason of your call. Know that you were born for and raised up for this hour. It is surely not a mistake that you were born for this hour, for I know the thoughts I have towards for you, and am acquainted with them saith the Lord, and I know the thoughts you have towards me and am acquainted with them, saith the Lord. For I am equipping you for this hour in a way that will bring many to light and repel darkness. Yet in this time, you must surely come and be refreshed often so you can withstand the attacks of the enemy. There is a tightening of the cord of the enemy and he would like to trap you and take you down, but I have withstood him and will not allow you to go through more than you can bear. I have removed obstacles and persons out of your path so that you can press through. You would surely wonder why they are gone, but I would say do not dwell on what isn’t here, dwell on me, who is here. For I am with you and I will guide you and I will lead you to victory. For in this hour mighty warriors are being raised up to fight off the conflicts ahead, saith the Lord. You are not alone in this battle. You are not alone. For there is a remnant that has been chosen for this hour, and you are part of it, saith the Lord. So now come apart and be refreshed and get your next assignment for I would talk to you in this hour, saith the Lord. Come now and hear what I would say, saith the Lord. Come and be refreshed.
