Zechariah’s Visions

Zechariah 1:7-11

ON The Twenty-Fourth (24th) Day of The Eleventh (11th) Month, Which IS The Month Shebat, IN The Second (2nd) Year of Darius, The WORD OF The LORD (GOD Almighty) CAME TO Zechariah, The Son of Berechiah, The Son of Iddo, The Prophet: I SAW by night, and Behold, A Man RIDING ON A Red Horse, and IT (The Red Horse) STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees IN The Hollow; and BEHIND Him (The Man on The Red Horse) WERE Horses: Red, Sorrel, and White.  Then I said, “My Lord, What ARE THESE?”  So, The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me SAID TO Me, “I WILL SHOW YOU What They ARE.”

And The Man Who STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees ANSWERED and SAID, “THESE ARE The Ones Whom The LORD Has SENT TO WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.”  So, They ANSWERED The Angel OF The LORD, Who STOOD AMONG The Myrtle Trees, and SAID, “We Have WALKED TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth, and Behold, All The Earth IS RESTING QUIETLY.”

Zechariah 1:18-21

Then I RAISED My Eyes and LOOKED, and THERE WERE Four (4) Horns.  And I said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “WHAT ARE THESE?”  So, He ANSWERED Me, “THESE ARE The (4) Horns That Have SCATTERED Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.”  Then The LORD (GOD Almighty) SHOWED Me Four (4) CRAFTSMEN.  And I said, “WHAT ARE THESE COMING TO DO?”  So He SAID, “THESE ARE The (4) Horns That SCATTERED Judah, So That NO ONE Could LIFT UP His Head; BUT The (4) 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.”

Zechariah 5:1-4

Then I TURNED and RAISED My Eyes, and SAW THERE A FLYING SCROLL.  And He SAID TO Me, “WHAT DO YOU SEE?”  So I answered, “I SEE A FLYING SCROLL.  Its Length IS Twenty (20) Cubits and Its Width Ten (10) Cubits.”  Then He SAID TO Me, “THIS IS The CURSE That GOES OUT OVER The Face OF The Whole Earth: ‘EVERY Thief Shall BE EXPELLED,’ According TO THIS SIDE OF The SCROLL; AND, ‘EVERY Perjurer Shall BE EXPELLED,’ According TO THAT SIDE OF IT.”  “I WILL SEND OUT The CURSE,” SAYS The LORD OF HOSTS; “It Shall ENTER The House OF The Thief AND The House OF The One Who SWEARS FALSELY, BY My Name.  It Shall REMAIN IN The Midst OF His House and CONSUME IT, with its timber and stones.”

Zechariah 5:5-11

Then The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me (Zechariah) CAME OUT and SAID TO Me, “LIFT Your Eyes NOW, and SEE What THIS IS that goes forth.”  So I asked, “What is it?”  And He (The Angel) said, “It is a BASKET that is going forth.”  He ALSO SAID, “THIS IS Their Resemblance (likeness) THROUGHOUT The Earth: HERE IS A LEAD DISC LIFTED UP, and THIS IS A Woman SITTING INSIDE The BASKET”; THEN He SAID, “THIS IS WICKEDNESS!”  And He THRUST Her DOWN INTO The BASKET, and THREW The LEAD COVER OVER ITS Mouth.  Then I Raised My Eyes and LOOKED, and There Were Two Women, COMING WITH The Wind IN Their Wings; For They Had Wings, LIKE The Wings of a Stork, and They LIFTED UP The BASKET BETWEEN Earth AND Heaven.  So I said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “Where Are They CARRYING The BASKET?”  And He SAID TO Me, “TO BUILD A HOUSE FOR IT, IN The Land of Shinar; WHEN IT IS READY, The BASKET WILL BE SET THERE ON ITS BASE.”

Zechariah 6:1-8

Then I (Zechariah) TURNED and RAISED My Eyes and LOOKED, and Behold, Four (4) Chariots WERE COMING FROM BETWEEN Two Mountains, and The Mountains were Mountains of Bronze.  With The First Chariot WERE Red Horses, WITH The Second Chariot Black Horses, WITH The Third Chariot White Horses, and WITH The Fourth Chariot Dappled Horses, Strong Steeds.  Then I answered and said to The Angel Who TALKED WITH Me, “What ARE These, My Lord?”

And The Angel ANSWERED and SAID TO Me, “THESE ARE Four SPIRITS OF Heaven, Who GO OUT FROM Their Station, BEFORE The LORD (GOD Almighty) OF All The Earth.  The One WITH The Black Horses IS GOING TO The North Country, The White ARE GOING AFTER Them (The Chariot with The Black Horses), AND The Dappled ARE GOING TOWARD The South Country.”

THEN The Strong Steeds WENT OUT, EAGER TO GO, That They Might WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.  And He SAID, “GO, WALK TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.”  So, They WALKED TO AND FRO, THROUGHOUT The Earth.  And He CALLED TO Me, and SPOKE TO Me, SAYING, “SEE, Those Who GO TOWARD The North Country, Have GIVEN REST TO My Spirit IN The North Country.”

[See also: Zechariah 2:1-5, Zechariah 3:1-5, and Zechariah 4:1-14]

Fellow Believers for me, The Oddest Vision of Zechariah IS The Woman IN The Basket WITH The Lead Lid.  Zechariah states that The Woman Represents Wickedness, and THEN He states that Two Women, WITH Wings like a stork, and Wind IN Their Wings, Carry Off The Woman (Wickedness) IN The Basket (with The Lead Cover) TO The Land of Shinar, TO Build a House and TO SET IT On Its Base.

Remember, The Being Caught Up Together May Occur IN The Next Millisecond, So, there is NO Time to waste, GET OUT There, Show YOU Care, AND Share The Gospel OF Jesus Christ!
