In this message, I continue to teach from the work of the prophet Zechariah at chapter 5 where the prophet has a vision of a flying scroll (5:1-4) and a woman in the measuring basket (5:5-11). The messages contained in these visions are good ones to consider during this season.The vision of the flying scroll (vs. 1-4) which is quite large, 30 feet by 15 feet represents the Torah, the Mosaic Law. Like the two tablets of stone upon which were written the 10 commandments on both sides (Exodus 32:15), so this flying scroll was written on both sides.This flying scroll is meant to remind the people of the promised judgment in the Law for disobedience (Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28). Zechariah states this promised judgment is "going out over the whole land," meaning the land of Israel.The second part of the vision, the vision of the woman in the measuring basket (Zechariah 5:5-11) reveals how God will ultimately punish the sin identified in the previous vision.The woman in the basket is "wickedness&

In Zechariah chapter 4, we read of the vision the prophet had of the Lamp Stand and the Two Olive Trees.Link to download Zechariah chart:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BkFtNcDKe32mzcqZGek_HXqXlVUVEO7C/view?usp=sharing YouTube: https://youtube.com/live/FFbtrSZ8dhUSend us a text

In Zechariah chapter 3, we read of the vision the prophet had of Joshua the High Priest standing before the Angel of the Lord while being accused by Satan. In this same vision Zechariah is told of "my servant, the Branch" (vs. 8), a reference to Israel's Messiah.In the last message, I spoke on the significance of the image of the Branch in the Hebrew Scriptures. As critically important as the image of the Branch is, we should not minimize the picture of salvation that is presented by the clean garments that Joshua is clothed in.Salvation is a gift of God. It cannot be achieved by our own merit. Our sinfulness is too pervasive for us to do anything substantial about it. If one is to be saved, it is by God's doing and not by us. He must remove our sin and then clothe us in his righteousness.Link to download Zechariah chart:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BkFtNcDKe32mzcqZGek_HXqXlVUVEO7C/view?usp=sharingYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqH4cVrtuu0Send us a text

Rabbi Gary continues the study through the book of Zechariah. He presents a chart, “The Structure of Zechariah” (link below), which outlines the sections of the book. The book is separated into two halves, indicated by two panels. The first panel contains the six visions of Zechariah, which represent a call for Israel’s repentance and redemption. The second panel contains prophecies of the coming Messiah as Priest and King and represents a call to righteousness and the restoration of Israel.The second and third visions (Zech. 1:18-21; 2:1-13) describe the “Four Horns and Four Craftsmen” and “The Measuring Line”Link to download chart: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BkFtNcDKe32mzcqZGek_HXqXlVUVEO7C/view?usp=sharingYouTube: https://youtube.com/live/a7rmUEf-O-0Send us a text

Rabbi Gary is focusing attention on the prophet's vision of the Branch of the Lord (Zechariah 3:1-10). The key phrase is the promise, "I will bring forth my servant the Branch" (vs.8).The Hebrew word translated "Branch" is צֶמַח (pronounced tzamach) meaning "sprout," "growth," or "branch" and is found twelve times in the Hebrew Scriptures and in addition is used five times symbolic of Messiah.The foundation passage upon which the image of Messiah as the Branch is developed is II Samuel 23:5. In verse 1, David is making the claim that he is a man who was "raised up" by God to provide prophetic revelation "concerning the Messiah of the God of Jacob, the Delightful One of the songs of Israel." Interestingly, this translation is similar to the alternative translation provided in the margin of the American Standard Version of 1901 which reads, "pleasant in the Psalms of Israel."Zechariah, (in the portion of Scripture we address at

Rabbi Gary concludes this incredible prophecy of Messiah. We learn that as a result of Messiah submitting to the Lord's divine plan which would include his death (vs.8-9), the Lord would resurrect him from the grave (vs. 10-11) and ultimately exalt him (vs.12).YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/live/QGN-VrcNMDU?si=lCKbn8mhJYtwSJrjSend us a text
