The Visions
The Visions
the first 5 visions are about the love and grace of God toward the Israelite people
the future Millennial kingdom, and Jesus’ reign
we are now going to take a turn
sin has to be judged before the kingdom can start
no sinner will be admitted into the kingdom
so before the Kingdom can begin there has to be some housekeeping
read Zechariah 5 1-4
Pray
Flying Scroll
Flying Scroll
Zechariah looks again
this is the 6 vision that he sees one right after another
Ebeneezer Scrooge saw 3 visions
this time he sees a scroll that is 30’ x 15’ written on both sides
sort of like a banner behind a plane Eat at Joe’s on one side. get hart burn on the other
the food is good but you will suffer
the writing on this scroll can be read from the ground
I looked up again, and I saw, and look!—a flying scroll!
the description of the scroll
And he asked me, “What are you seeing?” And I said, “I am seeing a flying scroll twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.”
a very big scroll
and on the scroll is a curse
The Curse
The Curse
punishment for sin
And he said to me, “This is the curse going out over the surface of the whole earth. For everyone who steals has gone unpunished according to it, and likewise everyone who swears falsely has gone unpunished according to it.
stealing represents all sin against humanity
swearing falsely- all sin against God
the 2 middle on the sides of the 10 commandments
representing the law all 10
the commandments that humanity will be judged by
For whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles in one point only has become guilty of all of it.
the curse for the sinner
in Zechariahs time the sin will be rooted out by God and he will be destroyed
all are guilty whether they were punished by civil authorities or not
And he said to me, “This is the curse going out over the surface of the whole earth. For everyone who steals has gone unpunished according to it, and likewise everyone who swears falsely has gone unpunished according to it.
all sin has to be punished
all sin is against God
‘I have sent it out,’ declares Yahweh of hosts, ‘and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of the one swearing falsely by my name, and it will spend the night in that house and will destroy it, with its timber and its stone.’ ”
God is the one who sent out this scroll
God punishment will be complete
Gods punishment will be Just
on every one who has broken His Law
remember there are 2 species of humans
the Saint and the sinner
the saint is all who have been saved by grace
the sinner is the non believer, the one who has not been born again
the saint is the one who’s sin was put onto the savior
Jesus took our punishment, took the wrath of the Father in our place
the one who’s sin has been punished
these visions had implications to the now and then
to the now. the scroll going into the sinners house and destroying it
talks to the time of zechariah and to today
But if you do not do so, behold, you have sinned against Yahweh, and know that your sin will find you.
But nothing is concealed that will not be revealed, and secret that will not be made known.
Before destruction comes pride, and before a fall, a haughty spirit.
but what about the Millennial Kingdom?
Sheep And Goats Judgement
Sheep And Goats Judgement
at the end of the tribulation the people who are left alive
Now when the Son of Man comes in his glory and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. And all the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate them from one another like a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.
the angels - see Matt 13 24-30 and 36-43
the angels are the ones doing the gathering and separating
lets go back to Matt 25
And he will place the sheep on his right and the goats on the left.
wheat and tares are now sheep and goats
believers, including all of the Jews, and non believers
believers on His right and non believers on His Left
Then the king will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world!
blessings will come to the believers, they will be ushered into the kingdom
Then he will also say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you accursed ones, into the eternal fire that has been prepared for the devil and his angels!
these are all that live through the tribulation
all of the ones who enter the kingdom have normal, not glorified bodies
they will repopulate the earth
it will start like the garden of Eden, without sin
and Jesus the king will rule with justice
Jesus will not tolerate sin
there will be peace for a thousand years
The Books Will Be Opened
The Books Will Be Opened
all of our works, our sin, our deeds are written down
And he said to me, “This is the curse going out over the surface of the whole earth. For everyone who steals has gone unpunished according to it, and likewise everyone who swears falsely has gone unpunished according to it.
has your sin been punished
Have you put your faith in The Savior, Jesus
When the angels come to gather you, will you go to Heaven or Lake of fire?
in 1 John 1 5-7
And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light and there is no darkness in him at all. If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments. The one who says “I have come to know him,” and does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in this person. But whoever keeps his word, truly in this person the love of God has been perfected. By this we know that we are in him. The one who says that he resides in him ought also to walk just as that one walked.
lets examine other areas of your life
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
there a lot of people who claim to be Christians who’s life does not reflect it
if you were honest with yourself you would acknowledge this fact
if you was honest with your self you would say no I don’t love the Bible
no I don’t love being around other believers in church
no, Jesus is not first in my life, I cant honestly say I love Him
Salvation is faith/ believe on the finished work of Jesus on the cross for your sins
a trust in Jesus alone to give you a new life, a trust in Jesus to give you eternal life
What is it that you believe that makes you saved?
the books will be opened, there is a Judgement coming
don’t let your pride keep you from putting your trust in the savior
