Zechariah 9-11 Lots of Future History and More

Wow!  These chapters are chock full of “future history” (events that happened between then and now) and future events which still remain to be fulfilled.  My commentary says that the time we’re in fits between Zechariah 9:9 and 9:10.

The note that I found in my commentary that applies to us today says, “God’s people Israel will be regathered, redeemed, reunited as one nation, and rejoicing in the strength of the Lord.  But this same God can give the same blessings to His church today.  We’re a scattered people, divided and sometimes distant from each other, but the Lord can unite us in Christ and bring us together.  We’re fighting battles against the enemy, but the Lord can strengthen us and turn His helpless sheep into victorious war horses.  How much He is willing to do for us, if only we would admit our failures and unbelief and turn to Him for help.”

Father, we shouldn’t simply be waiting around for all of these prophecies to play out.  There’s a world that needs to know You and to also know that You have written the book and know the ending.  Help us to tell them and to lead them to You.

Your Brother In Christ,
