2. KEY TEXT “The Lord their God will save
them on that day as the flock of
his people. They will sparkle in
his land like jewels in a crown”
Zechariah 9:16
3. Zechariah wrote amazing prophecies
about the messianic time. Those
prophecies should have been fulfilled
in Israel time, but they were fulfilled
in the ministry of Jesus and will be
fulfilled in our time and in the
glorious future God is preparing for
us.
1. The triumphal entry of Jesus into
Jerusalem (Zec. 9:9)
2. Judas’ betrayal (Zec. 11:12-13)
3. Jesus is arrested (Zec. 13:7-9)
4. The crucifixion (Zec. 12:10)
5. The Gospel is spread (Zec. 8:20-23)
6. The final battle and God’s eternal
kingdom (Zec. 14)
4. HISTORY
PROPHECY
“Then they brought the colt to Jesus and
threw their clothes on it, and He sat on
it… Then those who went before and
those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in
the name of the Lord!’”” (Mark 11:7, 9)
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion!
Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold,
your King is coming to you; He is just and
having salvation, lowly and riding on a
donkey, a colt, the foal of a donkey”
(Zechariah 9:9)
Jesus wanted to be
presented as Messiah and
King before His death; He
was acclaimed as so.
5. HISTORY
PROPHECY
“And said, “What are you willing to give
me if I deliver Him to you?” And they
counted out to him thirty pieces of
silver… Then he threw down the pieces of
silver in the temple and departed, and
went and hanged himself”
(Mathew 26:15, 27:5)
“Then I said to them, “If it is agreeable to
you, give me my wages; and if not, refrain.”
So they weighed out for my wages thirty
pieces of silver. And the Lord said to me,
“Throw it to the potter”—that princely price
they set on me. So I took the thirty pieces of
silver and threw them into the house of the
Lord for the potter” (Zechariah 11:12-13)
It’s amazing how that prophecy was fulfilled.
Not only the amount of silver was predicted,
but also that those pieces of silver were
going to be brought to the Temple.
6. HISTORY
PROPHECY
“Then Jesus said to them, “All of you will
be made to stumble because of Me this
night, for it is written: ‘I will strike the
Shepherd, and the sheep will be
scattered.’”… Then they all forsook Him
and fled”
““Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd,
against the Man who is My Companion,”
says the Lord of hosts. “Strike the
Shepherd, and the sheep will be
scattered; then I will turn My hand
against the little ones.””
(Mark 14:27, 50)
(Zechariah 13:7)
When Jesus —the “Good Shepherd” (John 10:11)— was
arrested, all the disciples fled frightened.
7. Jesus —the “Good Shepherd”— forgave His
disciples and went to bring them back to the
sheepfold.
After His resurrection, Jesus looked for Peter
(Luke 24:34), for the disciples in the road to
Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32), for the apostles (Luke
24:36), for Thomas (John 20:26-29)… and He
also looks for you and me.
We must follow Jesus’ example and be kind to
those who fail and help them to come back to
the sheepfold.
8. HISTORY
PROPHECY
“But when they came to Jesus
and saw that He was already
dead, they did not break His
legs. But one of the soldiers
pierced His side with a spear,
and immediately blood and
water came out… For these
things were done that the
Scripture should be fulfilled,
“Not one of His bones shall be
broken.” And again another
Scripture says, “They shall look
on Him whom they pierced.””
“And I will pour on the house of
David and on the inhabitants of
Jerusalem the Spirit of grace
and supplication; then they will
look on Me whom they pierced.
Yes, they will mourn for Him as
one mourns for his only son,
and grieve for Him as one
grieves for a firstborn”
(Zechariah 12:10)
(John 19:33-34, 36-37)
When we look at the cross, we
are drawn to Jesus (John 12:32)
When we understand that Jesus
died in our place for our sins,
we bitterly cry and God gives us
“the Spirit of grace and
supplication”.
9. “Thus says the Lord of hosts: „In those days ten men from
every language of the nations shall grasp the sleeve of a
Jewish man, saying, “Let us go with you, for we have heard
that God is with you.”‟” (Zechariah 8:23)
God decided to save the world through the
preaching of the Gospel (1Co. 1:21). He uses
each of us as His instruments.
Zechariah explains that many people will come
to us to hear the Gospel because they will see
that we are with God because of the way we
live.
How can people see that God is with us
(Zechariah 8:16-17)?
“Speak each man the truth to his neighbor”
“Give judgment in your gates for truth, justice,
and peace”
“Let none of you think evil in your heart against
your neighbor”
“And do not love a false oath”
10. PROPHECY
FUTURE
“And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives,
which faces Jerusalem on the east. and the Mount of
Olives shall be split in two, from east to west, making a
very large valley; half of the mountain shall move toward
the north and half of it toward the south.” (Zechariah 14:4)
Jesus will descend along with the New Jerusalem. He
will touch the Earth with His feet and it will be
transformed; Jerusalem will settle on it
(Revelation 20:9; 21:1-2)
“It shall be one day which is known to the Lord—
Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall
happen that it will be light.” (Zechariah 14:7)
Then there will be no night that day, because God will
light the Earth
(Revelation 21:23; 22:5)
“And in that day it shall be that living waters shall flow
from Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea
and half of them toward the western sea; in both
summer and winter it shall occur.” (Zechariah 14:8)
A pure river of water proceeding from the Throne of
God will flow within Jerusalem
(Revelation 22:1)
“The people shall dwell in it; and no longer shall there
be utter destruction, but Jerusalem shall be safely
inhabited.” (Zechariah 14:11)
There will be no more curse in the New Earth
(Revelation 22:3)
“And this shall be the plague with which the Lord will
strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem:
Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their
feet, their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, and their
tongues shall dissolve in their mouths.”
(Zechariah 14:12)
When the millennium is finished, Satan will gather all
the nations together to finish the battle that was
interrupted by the 2nd coming. Everyone attacking
Jerusalem will be destroyed there
(Revelation 16:14-16; 20:7-9)
11. “There is a day just about to burst upon us when God’s mysteries will be
seen, and all His ways vindicated; when justice, mercy, and love will be
the attributes of His throne.
When the earthly warfare is accomplished, and the saints are all gathered
home, our first theme will be the song of Moses, the servant of God.
The second theme will be the song of the Lamb, the song of grace and
redemption. This song will be louder, loftier, and in sublimer strains,
echoing and re-echoing through the heavenly courts.
Thus the song of God’s providence is sung, connecting the varying
dispensations; for all is now seen without a veil between the legal, the
prophetical, and the gospel. The church history upon the earth and the
church redeemed in heaven all center around the cross of Calvary.
This is the theme, this is the song,—Christ all and in all,—in anthems of
praise resounding through heaven from thousands and ten thousand
times ten thousand and an innumerable company of the redeemed host.
All unite in this song of Moses and of the Lamb. It is a new song, for it
was never before sung in heaven”
