Longing For The Victory Of God

I don't have any Hobby Lobby already, okay? Thank you so much, and I'll try to finish quickly tonight because we do have our business meeting. Probably not a whole lot to go over, but we go over what we have. All right, if you would tonight go ahead and take your Bible and turn to Zechariah Chapter 6.

Wraparound chapter 6.

And we're going to look at the first date first. Tonight and how we're going to do it, kind of like we've been doing it. We're going to talk about what it means or we're going to See if we can dig in and find out what this Vision means, at least and Zacharias Dave. Find out what is TT? And then next Wednesday night, we'll talk about how Jesus fulfills it. And how we can apply to our own life as well. And then I'm going to ask you What are the people longing for? Let's see what the Masters we can get, and then I'll share with you what I put. So where in Zachariah 2 chapter 6, verse 1 through 8. This is the final night vision that he received a with a vision that he received. This is the last one. But I haven't looked. And behold for chariots were coming from between two mountains and the mountains were mountains of bronze. Well, I haven't been a whole lot of places in my life but I've never seen a bronze Knight. There are no Grand mountain in Israel or anywhere else. So we know that that's symbolic. So we'll try to figure out what that means. faced with the first chair at where red horse is it with a second chance at life horses with white horses and with the fourth chariot, Dapple horse has thrown Steve. Looks like. What color is that? bodies or something like that, the horses strong Steve's it says,

What are these? My Lord and the angel answered and said to me, BR4, spirits of Heaven who go out from their station before the Lord of all the Earth. So he's asking what are the Chariots and horses, drawing The Chariot? What are the? And the angel said, these are four spirits of Heaven. We don't have to talk about that one. Is that for spirits?

We're 6. The one with the black horses. Is going to the North country. Why are going after them? Now, does that mean you're going? Did the North country as well? Or does that mean the white or the second ones to go? The black horses are going to the North Country, the white horses are going after them. And the dappled are going toward the South Country. Nothing said about the red horse. Percent. being the strong Steve went out, eager to go buy the horses that they may walk to and fro throughout the Earth and he said, Go walk to and fro throughout the Earth. What did I do? They want where who is rose? Right there. Three times in a row.

So they want to and fro throughout the Earth. Speaking of the horses with the carrots first aid and he called to me and spoke to me safe, see, those who go toward the North Country have given rest to my spirit. In the North.

Well, if I was going to read, doesn't make any sense.

What are the people? Why do we see here? Well, we see Chariot with horses. Come in between two mountains. And it gives the color of the horses whether that matters or not, I don't know. Is a detail that there are the spirits from heaven. and the blacks going to the North and the wife, follow my guests to the North and the devil goes to the South

and they were eager to go to walk throughout the Earth. And because of that, the North country has given rest. My spirit works. In your Bible capitalized.

I understand it's not my spirit in the North country.

Well, I presume that would be talking about with a capital s in New King James. Holy Spirit.

the Holy Spirit has rest in the north well, Here's what I'm entitled to miss longing for. The victory of God. What week is Randy Saint vs? Is actually, I believe talkin about in the end. God's Victory when the Lord comes back. And there's going to be rest in the north. We'll talk about where who they're talkin about here. Then it says the north. But you remember the first Vision? We looked at in chapter 1, verse 7,

real black hole boards and all of those Both of those groups of colored horses. Go out to patrol, the whole earth, and both of them again with a picture of world-wide, rest. But the details are quite a bit different in both of these Visions. The emphasis here I think is on the horses in the Chariots, rather than the writer chapter 1, the emphasis was on the rider. And their ministry here is accomplished in God's purposes. Rather than reporting. What, It's Like on the Earth. In the first Vision, there were many horses and riders with here. There's only four each with their horses. Notice the first big, and if we would go by and look, it said in a shaded Valley at night. Where is this here? Final Vision takes place between two mountains that don't. So we have one at night and one right before the sun comes up. So the movement from evening in chapter 1 from Morning, Sun rise in chapter 8 or chapter 6. I think is an image here of Israel's own Journey from Darkness, a lot from the spare, remember all this and we talk by first six. Chapters is meant to encourage the original to build wall. Build the temple, and they're just so discouraged. I just come out of captivity in Babylon and all of these Visions is to give them the justice of God. The righteousness of God, all of this, give them hope so. The night visions have kind of carried back around a long beer, bring this long night of discouragement and it kind of brings him here to lock a new day of Hope. For Zachariah now in the Old Testament, chariots was a course of mode of transportation, but the biggest thing with the Chariots was that they were Used. As the ultimate military weapons. when you see these horses, going out with Cheerios, the first thing you should think of, okay military War. Judge. It's what we're looking at here. Basically, what we're looking at here is God judging the Gentile Nations. The Chariot go out with the four spirits of heaven and they go to the north Out more about that and they go to the side two chairs. Go to North one to the South the red. It doesn't say, you know even the Lord himself appeared to Ezekiel in a chariot. Because he's the Divine Warrior, I want to read you some pressure where I don't have to go on the board, but listen to me scriptures here. This is from Isaiah 66. See the Lord is coming with fire and his chariots are like aware of when he will bring down his anger and fury. And his rebuke with flames of fire, for, with fire and with his sword, the Lord will execute judgment upon all men. And many will be those slain by the Four Horses. The Lord coming with fire Chariot like a whirlwind. We see here. Judge listen to Psalm 68 the chance of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. What word has come from cyanide into his sanctuary. Boat. The Bible portrays the Lord coming with cherry when you go to the Book of Revelation and when the Lord comes back and it says the armies in heaven, followed him upon white horses. Are those of us who are in heaven with the Lord comes back. If we're there we're going to follow him or horses so we see horses and chariots here. So the Lord is a military commander with thousands of cherry and his command and it speaks of God of body on Mount Sinai. I think this is where we see the horses come in between the two bronze. We'll talk more about that emerging from between the mountains expressive. God's sovereignty over all over all creation. Now, let's talk about what the world does that mean? Well when the temple was built, They were two bronze pillars, standing on each side of the door of the Temple. And although, when we think about bronze today in those days, bronze was a sign of strength for today, we don't think of Ron's is being a strong, man. Remember Nebuchadnezzar's dream in Daniel chapter 2. It was comprised of the belly and thighs made of bronze. Because it was, it was saying that he was a strong leader and Daniel chapter 10. Daniel. So another vision of legs and it says, they leave like bronze. So was told about the strength of a Nation. So the emblem of strength here, fits this mountain of rods. I think the past is just kind of unsure of the Lord's Authority in rain, over his creation. But there's something else here that we need to understand. This imagery here is also I believe a statement against the Mesopotamian, God, and I think his name was shamash, he was the god of the sun. You seem pretty Babylon. And Assyria remember, they kind of put the children of Israel and Judah into captivity. Their gods in the pantheon of their gods, he was always imagery of horses and chariots. And they were always represented horses and chariots were carved on the side of light high heel, like a map. The best way to take a look at their got. So, when is Syria their Conquest over Judah? Horses. And chariots were dedicated in the temple. Do the sun-god chamakh has probably done by remember the king Manasseh, he was a evil King in Judah and all and Emma. Well in other words of Siri was saying the Sun God shamash is The Sovereign of the Earth but we remember when King Josiah who was a good team, he started to reform one of the first things he did is he removed the horses and chariots from the entrance of with him. That's one of the first things he did to read by the second Kings chapter 23. He was trying to show the people that only the Lord deserved worship and he was the now clean these Chariots and Horses of the Assyrians. And so I think his imagery is adopted in order to show that the Lord is the only true and Sovereign God. He's the one who has the Heavenly horses and the chair that is disposal shamash or any other God of Babylon or experience or whatever, has no rightful claim to claim any type of Dominion in the world. The lord alone is in control that when you read these verses, you'll notice a phrase that they went out or to go out this you seven times. Well in the Bible 7 is the number for what please please or seven times. So he indicates the completion or totality to God's total control over the world. Seen how many Sheriff went out for what? Direction? Did they go north-south and probably East and West to that's all four directions, north south east, west ice it bad again. Shows God, complete control over the earth. Now, at the horse's color are significant, and I don't know if they are not. This verse in Revelation, 6:1 through 8, The red horse symbolize wore the black horse famine, White Horse death. There's no diaper horses and John's Vision Revelation, but they could symbolize text. Because during the day of the Lord, God will use War famine pledge and death to punish nations of the earth. Revelation chapter 6, that's how he's going to do. It seems to be patient chapter 6, and hear something else. Look at it. Reverse by the angel answered and said to me, these are for spirits and help out for spirits. Well, the the word errand for Spirit in the Hebrew in Rouen. And this is what it can be. You mean, when Workin me.

Now, is this the four winds blowing? East west, north south. Or is this? Or angels that God has station. It says here for spirits of Heaven who go out from their station. Well, when you read the book of Revelation and all through scripture God is constantly using angels to do his bidding. When they open the seal when, when they open the bowl and then in the Book of Revelation, the judgement is always the Angels that's doing it and it says here that they go out from their station like it's a it's a b.

I love getting it right now. But they go out from their station, dispensing, God's judgment. So, is it when or the angel? I don't know, but if I had to guess, I would say,

This is God's angels, doing his bidding and we see that happening all through scripture. But what this assures us is that God is in control of the future and he's going to the Gentile Nations. God is longsuffering their measure of sin and then God's judgment Must Fall. And that's exactly how I think what is happening here when we receive this Vision, all right, let's go through. Verse 6, through 8, And then we'll be finished for tonight. Look what it says, then one of the black horses is going to the north hunt. What you doing?

Russia, Russia. What nation came against Israel with was the seat of eat. Who was it? We talked about, but I buy the lot. You said well bye. Blonde wouldn't know, it know. It was Maurice. Because of the Fertile Crescent they had to circle around it and every time Israel was invaded, the Army's always come from the north. So what he's talking about here, I believe is a reference, the Bible on the black horse, set off for the land of the North Babylon. So the north kind of became an emblem of the place from which is gross conquerors would always, both of Syria and Babylon. Kay from the door. If you look at the Book of Revelation in the last days, the Bible says that the Kings and the enemies of the North, They're going to be in paid in from the north again even in our time or even after we have gone. But notice when he sees the horses here, Is 1 going to the north one to the South. It says, they went out first seven. Strong Steve went out eager to go, some translations, have screening other words in Corel up and now they are ready to go. And that phrase eager to go get me and almost never seen a horse Paul in the ground. Just want to go with that. That's kind of the picture that we see here. Just Paul in the ground. Eager eager to go, but judgment is in the hands of God and it is reserved in his place and in his eye. And that's why I think you see nothing about the red horses going anywhere because God is using them later to do his bidding. Well, so the black horses were signed to North. We can battle on white. Horses would follow them probably the Babylon and then it says, the dappled horses would go south South Division. Who's the enemy in the south of Israel?

When Joseph was sold into slavery, where did he go?

Egyptian style Babylon to North. Now, there's been times in the Bible when he was on Israel side like during the days of Solomon. But when you speak of Egypt to use the first thing they think of not Joseph, first thing, I think of is who held them into captivity 400 years did Jetsons. When they cross the sea, it was the Egyptians who was running them down and chasing. So this on, again off again, world power to the South, I believe is Egypt. And the main association with the memory of Egypt is because of their oppressive slavery that they held the children of Israel in. And even before they were at The Babylon Egyptian pharaoh, Nico killed King. Josiah Nico killed King Josiah. And then he just put heavy taxes on schedule for the next 4 or 5 years. So the announcement that God is sending his agents to North Babylon to Egypt was a way of telling the people that God will be getting the fight on their behalf. And he was going to put down their mortal enemy one to the north one, to the South because God was angry with the nations of the north Bible says, that in his purpose is we're going to be Repeal. And then the horses after they went Angel, announces, he says, those who have gone to the land of the north called in the Lord's spirit. The rest are the Lord's bidding. I look at it. Invert. Look at it. in the strong, Steve went out, Ziggler go pawing the ground, and they might walk to and fro throughout the Earth, and I mention that to and profiling up mention three times That phrase to and fro is an Old Testament. Idiom, if you will. And it means to have the many. It needs to be in control. 2nd Corinthians. 4:4 Paul says the God of this world has blinded the eyes of those who would believe the God of this world safe. He's the God of this world.

And in JoJo, when Satan was going to tempt Jody, come before God, and the Lord looked and said, where you been? Remember what saint said? Just walking to and fro throughout the Earth. Because this Earth this world right now is Kings Dominion. Yes, God is in control, he has the easy, but in his hand, he's in control. But yeah. Satan's Only the Lonely but God is still in control. Or Satan is walking to and fro. That's the way that he said, because he has Dominion right now. He has control over many parts of many people on this Earth. So that's what that means to and fro. And then he says he called me first aid and spoke to me saying, see those to go towards the North Country have given rest. The my spirit. Here's what it be given. Rest meme Play God's Wrath, and God's anger has been eat. Not worth fighting. There's no more war going on the Lord as caulking. if your spirit is ready, Aren't we all looking for that to happen and there's no more fighting? No more, no more evil. Everything is expressed The Earth. Here's what he say. He's trying to show the people if God can control and put down Babylon and eat with your the main enemies of his, if he can put them down all these other little Nation.

God is in control arms. It's going to be so final. That's a whole world will be at rest with military activity. These people there, y'all go ahead and get busy and building the wall because if I'm for you, he was going to be against, you will be able to do what I'm asking you to do. That's what I think this is talking about. And remember. Babylon has humiliated people looted everything that can do Egypt was responsible for the enslavement. Throughout Israel's history. It always been surrounded by hostile forces. Remi ashten what's different today? I ran this. All right, all of them just want to do away with Israel. Nothing has changed the day, but these visions of these four chair. Announces that the whole world is going to come one day under his knee. And you just go ahead and serve me now and you do what you need to do. One day, I'm going to bring up out the long-awaited Sovereign Victory is guaranteed in the people can work with compliments and build the temple for him. You know the Bible says in Romans that ever since the fall of Man, it says that the Earth Rome until the day of redemption, the Earth, not just the people on the Earth. Earth itself groans and Longs for its restoration, what we have hurricanes tornadoes and things like that natural disaster. Earth is groaning not only us but need Redemption one day. This world is going to be restored to his perfect. Really, with a sense of finality here, God is in his Heaven. Everything is right with the world, not just in word alone. But in reality, that's the day. We're all waiting for baby and your word. Or this book is so encouraging to us all or when we look at this world, we would think that Satan is in total control that we were spiraling downward or we don't see how we're going to get out the Lord verses about this encourages. Let us know, one day you will get the Lord. This world is coming to you slowly but surely Lord help us to live with confidence in a chaotic World. Lord help us to always remember Lord that you're coming back and that you're going to get us and that you're going to set that one day, we will all experience that long-awaited district courts of Christ. Amen.
