ZECHARIAH'S FINAL
FOUR VISIONS

THE FLYING SCROLL

I looked again—and there before me was a flying scroll!

He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.”

And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. The LORD Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy it, both its timbers and its stones.’

THE WOMAN
IN A BASKET

Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what this is that is appearing.”

I asked, “What is it?”

He replied, “It is a measuring basket.” And he added, “This is the iniquity of the people throughout the land.”

Then the cover of lead was raised, and there in the basket sat a woman! He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth.

Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.

“Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me.

He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When it is ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

FOUR CHARIOTS

I looked up again—and there before me were four chariots coming out from between two mountains—mountains of bronze! The first chariot had red horses, the second black, the third white, and the fourth dappled—all of them powerful. I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these, my lord?”

The angel answered me, “These are the four spirits of heaven, going out from standing in the presence of the Lord of the whole world. The one with the black horses is going toward the north country, the one with the white horses toward the west, and the one with the dappled horses toward the south.”

When the powerful horses went out, they were straining to go throughout the earth. And he said, “Go throughout the earth!” So they went throughout the earth.

Then he called to me, “Look, those going toward the north country have given my Spirit rest in the land of the north.”

A CROWN
FOR JOSHUA

The word of the LORD came to me: “Take silver and gold from the exiles Heldai, Tobijah and Jedaiah, who have arrived from Babylon. Go the same day to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah. Take the silver and gold and make a crown, and set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak. Tell him this is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Here is the man whose name is the Branch, and he will branch out from his place and build the temple of the LORD. It is he who will build the temple of the LORD, and he will be clothed with majesty and will sit and rule on his throne. And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.’ The crown will be given to Heldai, Tobijah, Jedaiah and Hen son of Zephaniah as a memorial in the temple of the LORD. Those who are far away will come and help to build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the LORD your God.”

Political innuendo is inevitable on a site like this, although I am glad it remains minimal enough that it does not substantially obscure or deflect from the central message of these spiritual posts.

And he will be a priest on his throne. And there will be harmony between the two.

The High Priest will be the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the first time that has ever occurred on earth. God's perfect will shall be embodied in Him both spiritually and politically (not to mention militarily).

Dan, I want to thank you again for posting these scriptures and accompanying artwork. For someone like me who has never read the Bible from beginning to end I would never know much of these writings and the lessons they teach.
Hopefully, I’m a little wiser for it.

To: Hebrews 11:6

Remember David ate the Shewbread, euphemistically declaring himself a ‘priest’.

He became king on his throne after the death of Saul and Jonathan at the Battle of Gilboah.

Thus establishing the Davidic Line from the House of David.

“Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the THRONE OF DAVID, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this” (Isaiah 9:7).

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto DAVID a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice IN THE EARTH. In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His Name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS” (Jeremiah 23:5-6).

Jesus Christ, a descendant of David, proclaimed that He was the ‘Bread of Life’.

“You are a priest forever
According to the order of Melchizedek.” (Hebrews 7:17)

Pete, my purpose here is not to harangue commenters to read their Bibles, for that is entirely within the Holy Spirit's purview, Who can do so infinitely better than I. I have no brick for you this time!

Rather, this series merely offers glimpses of the tremendous blessings to be had for those who do finally embark on that timeless voyage from Genesis to Revelation. I claim that from extensive personal experience, and heartily do I wish those blessings for you.

If I may presume on our tenuous online friendship to this extent: is it not richly ironic that one who invests his treasure and time so ardently in studying God's glorious Cosmology is not similarly fascinated by His revealed Theology?

You are gathering the threads which form the fabric of our millennial and eternal government.

So far today that has spurred references to a secretary of state and a governor.
