ZECHARIAH 6:13

1434

2 And HE said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 3 Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth 1 over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it. P 4 1 I will bring 2 it forth, saith the 3 LORD OF HOSTS , 4 and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof. P Seventh vision - (The woman, i.e., the sins of Babylon, sitting in the ephah) 5 Then the 5 ANGEL that talked with me went forth, and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes, and see what is this that goeth forth. 6 And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth . He said more- over, This is their resemblance through all the earth. 7 And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah. 8 And HE said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came out two women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the earth and the heaven. 10 Then said I to the ANGEL that talked with me, Whither do these bear the ephah? 11 And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of Shinar: and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base. Zechariah 6 Eighth vision - (The four chariots) Date Written - Feb 24th, 520 BC/AM 3480 1 And I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between 6 two moun-

tains; and the mountains were mountains of 7 brass. 2 In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; 3 And in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grisled and bay horses. 4 Then I answered and said unto the ANGEL that talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 And the ANGEL answered and said unto me, These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. 6 The black horses which are therein go forth into the 8 north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the 9 south country. 7 And the bay went forth, and sought to go that they might walk to and fro through the earth: and he said, Get you hence, walk to and fro through the earth. So they walked to and fro through the earth. 8 Then cried he upon me, and spake unto me, saying, Behold, these that go toward the north country have quieted my 10 spirit in the north country. The crowning of Joshua (A picture of the crowning of CHRIST – Dan 9:24) 9 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 10 Take of them of the captivity, even of 11 Heldai, of Tobijah, and of Jedaiah, which are come from Babylon, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah; 11 Then take 12 silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of 13 Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest; 12 And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD OF HOSTS , say- ing, Behold the MAN whose name is The 14 BRANCH ; and 15 HE shall grow up out of his place, and 16 HE shall build the tem- ple of the LORD: PPP 13 Even 16 HE shall build the temple of the LORD; and 17 HE shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a 18 PRIEST upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
