Zacharia asked them are you going to become the kind of ppl ready to receive the messiah. Does that question still apply to us? Is the rapture waiting on us to be ready?

[@arnold03]

Hi @bibleproject is this Zechariah in the bible book same as the Zechariah in Luke 1, the father of John the Baptist?

[@gillimac31]

​@@arnold03no, same name, different people. The book of zechariah was written approx 500 years before the time of Christ and John the Baptist. Its what makes these prophecies so mind blowing. All set out hundreds of years before the event!

Some of this reminds me of the Book of Revelation. The horns, also the woman in the basket like the woman being pursued by the dragon. The scroll flying around like the scroll with the seven seals that Jesus opens. The two leaders like the two witnesses. Even the horses like the four horsemen. They seem to all be connected somehow.

[@re8618]

Please read again on the topic of The woman in the basket - the Lord says “This is wickedness” and shuts the lid. Carried off to the land of Shinar. In the end times, the woman in the basket is the whore of Babylon (the false church).

The imagery of Zechariah 5:5-11 suddenly brings to mind the song "Look Out for Mr. Stork" from the 1941 film Dumbo. Even some of the lyrics from the song kinda fit this imagery the more I think about it, like, "Don't try to get away. He'll find you in the end," and "He's got you on his list. And when he comes around, it's useless to resist."

These videos are fantastic. First I used them in my Sunday school class (4-6 graders) and they loved them: “Mrs. A, can (may) we watch another one of those videos?” Then this week hubby and I decided to go through Zechariah together. We were having trouble getting an overview of what was going on. Then I brought up this video! Bingo! Now we are ready to move ahead with our study. All the videos on the minor prophets are majorly good!! Subscribe!

ISAIAH 38 - ZECHARIAH “And said, “Remember now, O Lord, I pray, how I have walked before You in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in Your sight.” And Hezekiah wept bitterly.” (Isaiah 38:3) WORDS BY: FATHER "Can you say with confidence that you have walked before Me in truth, with a loyal heart and have done what is good in My sight? This is what I want you to work towards. If this is your desire, then it begins with whether or not you make room for Me in your life. Did you give Me a house? Did you give Me a place to dwell? If Jesus came knocking on your front door, would you open the door for Him? Would you invite Him in to dine with you? Or perhaps would you allow Him to live under your roof? Everyone likes the idea of meeting Jesus in the flesh and this is not a bad desire. But many would struggle having Him live with them under their roof. What happens when He begins making some adjustments around the house? What happens when He has a say in the things you do, the decisions you make and the way you live? What happens when He doesn’t tolerate certain attitudes you have or when He starts putting expectations on you? Do you say no? Do you resist Him or do you humbly submit and agree? If you are compromised, you will struggle and you will feel great discomfort. But if you are truly seeking My kingdom, you will gladly receive Him. Let your vision be set upon the future where I look at you and say, “Remember now, O son, how you walked before Me in truth and with a loyal heart, and have done what is good in My sight.” Won’t you like to hear these words spoken to you? They are yours if you desire them. Begin by opening up the door when I come knocking and allow for My refinements to take place in your life. I am seeking an abode. Will you receive Me?"

1 John 5:16 All sin is sin but there is a sin unto death. I'd have you not ask of this. What an enigma this is, not walking in perfect love is the sin unto death. Mark 11 speaks of the supreme command, love. Jeremiah 7 as well as Jeremiah 11 speaks of the abortionist, idolaters an oppressors who repent not don't have their prayers heard by God nor there intercessors prayers are heard of by God. These are them who have no oil and are cast into the tribulation. Philadelphia church is taken care of as Isaiah 26:20-21, and Rev. 3:10 state. The Rapture is around the corner as shown to me in a dream, I caught up with the spirit in the dream. It had been leading me, around the corner then stopped. In a green field taller then the spirit.
