Oh, my…where to begin? Zechariah’s futuristic prophecies – again – so much to say and so little time to say it! At the risk of sounding repetitive, redundant, recurring, frequent, habitual, persistent, etc, etc, etc…Read These Last Days - Second Edition!

Zechariah 12:3
On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.
Think, “Armageddon”.

Zechariah 9:7, 16
Those who are left will belong to our God...
The Lord their God will save them on that day as the flock of his people.  They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown.

Zechariah 13:9
The third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold.  They will call on my name and I will answer them...
Think, "Remnant"

Zechariah 14:4
On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.
Think, “Jesus’ returns!”

Zechariah 14:6-7
On that day there will be no light, no cold or frost. It will be a unique day, without daytime or nighttime-- a day known to the LORD. When evening comes, there will be light.
Think, “Conditions in the Millennium”.

Zechariah 14:20
On that day HOLY TO THE LORD will be inscribed on the bells of the horses, and the cooking pots in the LORD's house will be like the sacred bowls in front of the altar.
Think, “Worship in the Millennial Kingdom”.

Why think about these things? Paul answers very well in 
2 Timothy 2:7
Think about what I am saying. The Lord will help you to understand all these things.

Under the heading THE GOOD AND BAD SHEPHERDS (Zechariah 11:4-17) are several things that may be confusing to us, which is why we need to refer to 2 Timothy 2:7.  Only the Lord can help us understand. 

"Pasture the flock marked for slaughter."
God is calling to account the spiritual leaders (shepherds) who allow the spiritual death of the flock (congregation) who do not care what happens to the flock as long as they get their money.  They teach falsely and prevent the people from believing in the one true God. 

In Zechariah 14:17-19 God warns the people that if they do not celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles rain will be withheld.  Spiritually speaking, those who did not honor the holy day will not receive the spiritual nourishment that God wants to give them. This would be an example of a sin of omission.

Praise God we receive His spiritual nourishment whenever we celebrate His holy days.
