ONE CHAPTER A DAY

On Daily Holy Bible Reading

ZECHARIAH

Extremely enigmatic if not esoteric. This is how the prophecy of Zechariah is in its context.

The truth behind the prophetic visions of Zechariah may not be fully understood; only and until the coming of Elijah the Prophet. As it deals with the entire period from his own day until the End of Days.

Zechariah On G-d’s Salvation Over His People — (the righteous Jews)

Eyes on the last verse of this chapter, and ask yourself, “If the Jews are wrong or will go to hell for rejecting Jesus, why this book and verse (even the entire Hebrew Bible) teach otherwise?

Clear answer: It’s the Greek book (New Testament) that teaches falsehood; and is contrary to G-d’s direct instructions, laws, commandments, decrees, statutes and ordinances.

“Zeal, Rejoicing, Prosperity and Joy”

Thus said Hashem: I have returned to Zion, and I have made My dwelling in the midst of Jerusalem; Jerusalem will be called ‘The City of Truth’ and the mountain of Hashem, Master of Legions, ‘The Holy Mountain.’
8:3
Thus said Hashem, Master of Legions: Just as it will be wondrous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, so will it be wondrous in My eyes — the word of Hashem, Master of Legions.
:6
Thus said Hashem, Master of Legions: Behold, I am saving My people from the land of the east and from the land where the sun sets;
:7
and I will bring them and they will dwell within Jerusalem. They will be a people unto Me, and I will be a God unto them, in truth and in righteousness.
:8
Thus said Hashem, Master of Legions: Let your hands be strong, you who hear these days these words from the mouths of the prophets, which [were spoken] on the day that the foundation was laid for the temple of Hashem, Master of Legions — the Sanctuary — to be built.
:9
For before those days, people had no earnings, nor were there earnings from animal; those who travel back and forth had no peace because of the enemy; and I set everyone, man against his neighbor.
:10
And it will happen that just as you, O House of Judah and House of Israel, had been a curse for the nations, so will I save you and you will be a blessing. Do not fear, and let your hands be strong!
:13
… Just as I had planned to bring misfortune upon you when your forefathers angered Me — said Hashem, Master of Legions — and I did not relent [from doing do],
:14
so have I turned back these days and planned to benefit Jerusalem and the House of Judah. Do not fear!
:15
These are the things that you should do: Speak the truth with one another; and in your gates judge with truth, justice and peace.
:16
Do not think evil toward one another in your hearts and do not love false oaths, for all these are what I hate — the word of Hashem.
:17
… [Only] love truth and peace!
:19
Thus said Hashem, Master of Legions: It will yet be that peoples will come , as well as inhabitants of many cities.
:20
Many peoples and mighty nations will come to seek out Hashem, Master of Legions, in Jerusalem, and to supplicate before Hashem.
:22
Thus said Hashem, Master of Legions: In those days it will happen that ten men, of all the [different] languages of the nations, will take hold, they will take hold of the corner of the garment of a Jewish man, saying, ‘Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you!’
:23

1 And the word of the Lord of Hosts came [to me], saying:
2 So said the Lord of Hosts: I am jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and with great fury I am jealous for her.
3 So said the Lord: I will return to Zion, and I will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and Jerusalem shall be called the city of truth, and the mount of the Lord of Hosts [shall be called] the holy mountain.
4 So said the Lord of Hosts: Old men and women shall yet sit in the streets of Jerusalem, each man with his staff in his hand because of old age.
5 And the streets of the city shall be filled, with boys and girls playing in its streets.
6 So said the Lord of Hosts: As it will be wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, it will also be wonderful in My eyes, says the Lord of Hosts.
7 So said the Lord of Hosts: Behold I will save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west.
8 And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I shall be their God, in truth and in righteousness.
9 So said the Lord of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets that were [prophesying] in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of Hosts was laid, even the Temple, that it might be built.
10 For before those days, there was no hire for man; neither was there any hire for beast. And for him that went out or came in, there was no peace because of the adversary, and I would incite all men, each one against his neighbor.
11 But now I am not [the same] to the remnant of this people as in the early days, said the Lord of Hosts.
12 For the sowing is for peace. The vine shall give forth its fruit, and the earth shall give forth its produce, and the heavens shall give forth their dew-and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these.
13 And it shall come to pass that [just] as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you-and you shall be a blessing. Fear not; may your hands be strengthened!
14 For so said the Lord of Hosts: As I planned to do evil to you when your forefathers provoked Me-said the Lord of Hosts-and I did not repent,
15 so have I turned about. I have planned in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; do not fear.
16 These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth each one with his neighbor; truth, and judgment of peace you shall judge in your cities.
17 And let no one think evil of his neighbors in your heart, nor shall you love a false oath-for all these are what I hate, says the Lord.
18 And the word of the Lord of Hosts came to me, saying:
19 So said the Lord of Hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], the fast of the fifth [month], the fast of the seventh [month], and the fast of the tenth [month] shall be for the house of Judah for joy and happiness and for happy holidays-but love truth and peace.
20 So said the Lord of Hosts: [There will] yet [be a time] that peoples and the inhabitants of many cities shall come.
21 And the inhabitants of one shall go to another, saying, “Let us go to pray before the Lord and to entreat the Lord of Hosts. I, too, will go.”
22 And many peoples and powerful nations shall come to entreat the Lord of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
23 So said the Lord of Hosts: In those days, when ten men of all the languages of the nations shall take hold of the skirt of a Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”

Call to repentance — to return to Hashem. That in turn Hashem will return.

Test of sincerity to your service, devotion, fear and love of Hashem you who profess publicly, but do otherwise in private.

Jerusalem. Truth. Righteousness.

The rebuilding of the Temple. The hope of glad tidings for Hashem’s dwelling with His people — the righteous Jews and Gentiles.

Hashem will be One and His Name will be One.

Not through army, neither strength, but through the spirit of Hashem, Master of Legions.

God Is With You
