ZECHARIAH THE PROPHET – LESSON 16
CHAPTERS 9-11 – THE FIRST ADVENT OF MESSIAH
The first eight chapters of Zechariah reveal the visions of the night and the Word God spoke to the young prophet. He was about 20-22 years old. Chapters 9-14 now come to Zechariah as a man several decades older.
Zechariah 9:1 and 12:1 both start by saying “The burden of the Word of the LORD…”. The “burden” of a prophet is a strong message God has given him to deliver. Zechariah was given two distinct burdens. The first burden is written in chapters 9-11 and is a message of what will take place in the next 500 years, especially in regards to the first advent (coming) of Jesus. The second burden relates to the second advent (coming) of Messiah in the end time events.
Zechariah 9:1-8 pronounces doom upon Israel’s neighbors which had afflicted God’s people. This was accomplished in 332-333 B.C. when Emperor Alexander the Great of Greece conquered them. Those nations were never restored. However, the result of Alexander’s conquest of the known world at that time set up the right cultural conditions (Greek as a common language to all nations) for the advent of Messiah’s first coming over 300 years later.
Verse 9 then gives a remarkable prophecy about Jesus. It says, “Rejoice greatly, oh daughter of Zion…Jerusalem…behold, the King cometh unto thee. He is just, and having salvation (in his hand), lowly (humbly), and riding upon an ass, (donkey) and upon a colt the foal (young offspring) of an ass.” This was fulfilled by Jesus’ triumphant entry recorded in Luke 19:28-38.
Jesus’ betrayal and death are then prophesied in Zechariah Chapter 11. Verse 7 says “…I will feed the flock of slaughter…” speaking of how He (Messiah) would be slaughtered by “the flock” which he had come to feed.
Then verses 12-13 speak of how His slaughter was achieved through His betrayal by Judas and the leaders of the priesthood. “and I (Judas) said unto them (Jewish leaders), ‘If ye think good (of betrayal), give me my price, and if not, forbear’ (hold back). So, they (leaders) weighed for my price thirty pieces of silver! And the LORD said unto me, ‘Cast it unto the potter.’ A goodly price that I was prized at (given) of them. And I (Judas) took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them to the potter…”.
This was fulfilled as Luke 22:1-6 tells how Judas conspired with the priests and scribes to betray Jesus. All four writers of the gospel describe the actual betrayal. Matthew 27:3-10 tells how Judas returned the thirty pieces of silver. After Judas hung himself these Jewish leaders, not wishing to keep the “blood money,” used it to buy the potter’s field for Judas’ burial.
Such specific details given through Zechariah more than 340 years before Christ’s betrayal truly validate Zechariah as one of the most remarkable of the Old Testament prophets.
Remember this: God’s got a plan. He does nothing of great significance on earth unless He first reveals it through His true prophets. Prophets still speak today. Although some may be false, let Holy Spirit give you discernment (ask Him for it) as to which ones are God’s true prophets.
As you pray much in tongues, Holy Spirit will lead you into “knowing” (discerning) the good from the other.

FIVE KEYS TO PROSPERITY
How would you like to have whatsoever you do prosper? I am sure we would all like that in our lives, especially if we are going through a dry spell financially, or spiritually. There is no magic formula, but there is found in Psalm 1 a great promise of prosperity, but it is conditional.
Psalm 1:1 “Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly (those that think they know truth but know no truths when it comes to God’s truth), nor standeth in the way of sinners (not go along with those that sin), nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. (those that despise God and His word.) This is condition 1. We must not listen to the ungodly for advice nor go along with sinners in their ways, nor sit in the seat (that means you are in charge of where you sit) with the scornful.
Psalm 1:2 says, “But his delight is in the law (God’s word brings satisfaction) of the LORD: and in his law (word) doth he meditate (think on the scriptures) day and night. This is condition 2. We must study the Word of God and think on the scriptures during the day and at night. It must be our compass to live by and we must delight in it. It can’t be a drudge to read or study it, for it must be our joy to read and study the scriptures more than any novel or movie.
Psalm 1:3 says “And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water (this means we are well watered), that bringeth forth his fruit in his season (no crop failure); his leaf also shall not wither (nothing dies on our tree. It is full of life); and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.” It says shall, not might! This tree would be worth more than any other tree. Fruitful and healthy!
Now that is quite a promise, but it comes with a price. It is a conditional promise like so many of God’s promises. Yet it is attainable.
Once again these are the conditions:
1. Don’t take advice from those that don’t know God.
2. Don’t go along with those that sin.
3. Don’t despise (be scornful of ) God and His word.
4. Your satisfaction and delight come from studying from God’s Word.
5. You think on the Word and how it applies to your life throughout the day and night.
Do you want all that you do to prosper? Then follow these conditions and God will perform his part! You will become like a well-watered tree with no dead leaves full of fruit seasonally. You will be full of life and prosperity will come in whatever you do!

Someone needed to hear this today
July 15, 2007
Come away, come away, my beloved. Enter into my rest, and there you will find the peace you are so longing for. Yes, my loved one I know the plans for you, and they are plans for good, not for evil. I will give you an expected end. I will open the windows of Heaven and pour out a blessing that you will not be able to contain. My plans for you are good, and not evil, saith the Lord. I know what your heart desires, and your heart desires the things that I desire, for you are my creation, fearfully and wonderfully made. Look not to the things that would bring you discomfort, but look to me, and I will rearrange circumstances and make a way in the dessert for you. Yes, I will show you things that will be beyond your wildest imagination, and yes, I will birth new things through you saith the Lord. Yield your whole self unto me, and I will give you your hearts desires, saith the Lord. Yes, I will bring things to naught that have been in the way saith the Lord, I will remove obstacles that have hindered and will bring them to nothing. I love you my child, and I know your heart. It has been tested in the night hours, and you will come forth through these fires as pure gold. Yes, pure gold that only my reflection shall be seen in it. You will shine as I shine, and you will bring many out of darkness unto my glorious light. So go forth as victors, not as defeated. Leave behind those weights of burdens that have so often brought your heartache. I will give you direction, and peace saith the Lord.

PROPHETESS MENA LEE GREBIN
FAITHFUL WALK HEALING MINISTRIES
3-7-2021
For the last two years the Lord has been speaking to me about a coming famine. When I was given the word for 2021, the scripture God gave (Isaiah 19) included that of a famine and economic hardship.
In addition to this report, another posted several days ago spoke of the unprecedented slowing of the Atlantic Ocean circulation. It is the slowest movement in recorded history, going back a thousand years. Scientists are saying that this will make way for catastrophic storms during hurricane season.
The waters will fail from the sea,
And the river will be wasted and dried up.
The rivers will turn foul;
The brooks of defense will be emptied and dried up;
The reeds and rushes will wither.
The papyrus reeds by the River, by the mouth of the River,
And everything sown by the River,
Will wither, be driven away, and be no more.
The fishermen also will mourn;
All those will lament who cast hooks into the River,
And they will languish who spread nets on the waters.
Moreover those who work in fine flax
And those who weave fine fabric will be ashamed;
And its foundations will be broken.
All who make wages will be troubled of soul.
- Isaiah 19:5-10

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY
PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
3-7-2021
Someone needs to know that the desert place you’ve been in will surely bloom again. Although it may look hopeless and at times you’ve even felt somewhat helpless; But you can know that the roses will bloom again in the garden of your heart. Now none of us really likes being in a dormant place. However, it’s a safe place and it’s in this time of dormancy that you’ll have divine protection; Until the season is right for all that God has promised you to come into full fruition. Just trust God through this dark time...For you can be assured that your biggest disappointment can and will turn into your greatest and most treasured divine appointment.
