Series: The Book of the Twelve - the Minor Prophets

Sunday, November 17th - Zechariah

This week we turn to the Book of Zechariah; a startling example of apocalyptic literature in the Old Testament. 
It’s a wild ride, filled with bizarre visions and disturbing dreams about God and His people. 
Zechariah reminds the remnant of Jews who are returning from the Exile of the behaviour that led to the downfall of Israel and the destruction of Jerusalem. 
Just as Haggai motivated them to make a start on rebuilding the temple, Zechariah continued that work for the decades that followed. Sometimes he encourages & blesses, and sometimes he confronts & challenges; yet it is always to light a fire under the people to complete the temple, restore the priesthood, and most importantly, to be the faithful people of God. 
Will they be the kind of people who will be ready to receive and engage in God’s coming kingdom?

If you haven’t read the Book of Zechariah at least once this week I’d encourage (and challenge) you to do that before Sunday. 
You might want to do it more than once (just like your dreams, it can be hard to follow). 
But if you do, I suspect that the Lord Almighty will confront & challenge you, 
…and bless & encourage you as well.
