Zech 1: 8-14

 

Excerpt:… Therefore, to facilitate end-time salvation, Christ gave Zechariah a vision for New-Testament, gentile Christians who yearn to learn of His unyielding passion, the redemption of Israel. And note, I didn’t say the Jews! Thereby You know, I know, everyone who has heeded Paul’s counsel and consumed strong meat and who has accordingly left the principle doctrines of Christ so knows that, with the completion of Jesus’ 3 ½ year mission, a new age began whereby the gentiles became the hosts over whom heaven enlightened. This fact makes Jesus —not Christ— the corresponding Lord of Hosts. The complexity of Zachariah’s prophecy pertains to a message from Christ about Jesus’ ministry. Thus the title, Lord of Hosts, attached to a new subject, to Jesus, demands a strong meat chew for clarity. Stepping deeper into the vision, it says more: 8 I saw by night, and behold a man riding upon a red horse, and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in THE BOTTOM; and behind him were there red horses, speckled, and white. 9 Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said unto me, I will shew thee what these be. 10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 11 And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees. And they answered the angel of the LORD that stood among the myrtle trees and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and, behold, all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest. 12 Then the angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years? 13 And the LORD answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words. 14 So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy.” —Zech 1: 8-14. What have we learned? In response to the Myrtle-tree-dwelling, equine menagerie, Zechariah asked the angel of the Lord, who are they? What have they to do with Israel, and why is global Gospel evangelism their business? But before the Comforter could explain, the posse crew of multi-colored horses forced their way into Heaven’s ordained theological relay of truth. To reiterate, it says, Then said I, O my lord, what are these? And the angel that talked with me said … I will shew (you)… 10 And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the LORD hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth. 11 And (the horses) … said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and … all the earth … is at rest.” Remember, before the Holy Spirit could answer so as to guide us into all truth, these equine evangelists injected their explanation. So! Relying on the Spirit to guide us into all truth, we can assume no obligation to their conclusions until now, 190 years later when …
