Vision Six : The Flying Scroll (Zech.5:1-4)
- The scroll contains judgement against two specific sins of the people, which
were stealing from one another and swearing falsely.
- The people were very materialistic.
Learning to live a content life is one of the secrets of being happy. God has put us all in different situations, we need
to be content and bring glory to God.
Vision Seven : The Woman In A Basket (Zech. 5:5-11)
- The woman in the basket represented all the sins of the people. The people’s
unfaithfulness is pictured as a woman.
- God was going to remove their sins far away from Jerusalem.
- The message was that God would place some sort of limitation on the
sinfulness of the people.
Sin carries its own seeds of destruction. The end of all sin is death. But then with repentance there is hope.
Vision Eight : Four Chariots (Zech. 6:1-8)
- The chariots represents the protection of God over his people through his
control of the nations.
- God has provided peace for his people in the end.
God has provided us peace, peace that passes all understanding. Our peace comes from surrendering to God. The
life lead by the Holy Spirit is one full of peace.
A Crown For Joshua (Zech. 6:9-15)
- The crown is made of both silver and gold. Symbolizing the dual offices of high priest and king held by the
Branch to come.
- Jesus would be both High Priest and King over His Kingdom when the Church was established.
Christ is the King of righteousness, the King of Salem, the King of peace and the great High Priest. His dual office
continues to this day, giving us peace, peace between sinners and the Holy God!
Application :
What are somethings in your life that you are not content with in terms of materialistic needs.
I Timothy 6:6-9
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out
of it. But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation
and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction.
