Four

Mo. 9/15/14: Zechariah 1:2 – 4            What do turn & return mean?

“The Lord has been very angry with your fathers. Therefore say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Return to Me,” says the Lord of hosts, “and I will return to you,” says the Lord of hosts. “Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.”’ But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the Lord.

What do turn & return mean? Repentance is what they mean.

Tu. 9/16/14: Zechariah 1:17 – 19            What do horns involve?

“Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts:

      “My cities shall again spread out through prosperity;

      The Lord will again comfort Zion,

      And will again choose Jerusalem.”’”

Then I raised my eyes and looked, and there were four horns. And I said to the angel who talked with me, “What are these?” So he answered me, “These are the horns that have scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”

What do horns involve? Horns involve power.

We. 9/17/14: Zechariah 1:20 – 21            Who are the craftsmen?

Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. And I said, “What are these coming to do?” So he said, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, so that no one could lift up his head; but the craftsmen are coming to terrify them, to cast out the horns of the nations that lifted up their horn against the land of Judah to scatter it.”

Who are the craftsmen? The craftsmen will cast out the powers.

Th. 9/18/14: Zechariah 2:6 – 9            What do the winds do?

“Up, up! Flee from the land of the north,” says the Lord; “for I have spread you abroad like the four winds of heaven,” says the Lord. “Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.”

For thus says the Lord of hosts: “He sent Me after glory, to the nations which plunder you; for he who touches you touches the apple of His eye. For surely I will shake My hand against them, and they shall become spoil for their servants. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent Me.

What do the winds do? The winds will terrify the horns

Fr. 9/19/14: Revelation 21:1 – 3            What will God do?

Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

What will God do? God will live with believers.
