“Zechariah’s Visions” Zechariah 1:7-8

TRANSCRIPT

Date: December 10, 2023 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

In Zechariah 12:3, the prophet wrote, “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Certainly, today could be that day as most of the nations of the world are lining up against Israel. However, in Zechariah 12:9, the prophet wrote, “And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.” Since the main focus of that verse applies to the future Battle of Armageddon, perhaps that future is not so far away. The people of Israel have made it clear – they will not be moved from their land again. In our next sermon from the prophecy of Zechariah, God gave His prophet eight visions for the future of Israel. This first one describes the Lord Jesus ready to destroy the nations that have come against Israel.
