Notes from Zechariah

Dreams from the LORD 2011
16 January 2011

Zechariah 1: 6: “Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.”

Barack Obama is in the White House because there is so much sin in the United States—God’s judgment.

Zechariah 2: 5: “For I, saith the Lord, will be unto her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her.”

“A wall of fire.” Glorified body. Spiritual rapture. Intercession. “At the rebuke of His countenance they fled.” Holy Ghost Fire.

Zechariah 2: 7: “Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.”

“Come out from among them and be ye separate.”

Zechariah 4: 6: “Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”

The sword has power. The pen is mightier than the sword. The Holy Ghost is more powerful than the pen and the sword.

Zechariah 9: 13: “When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man.”

We are the weapon that the Lord wields in His hand. In the New Testament, the jawbone of an ass is a subject; in the Old Testament, the jawbone is an object. If we abide in Christ (Zion), we will defeat the world system (Greece).

Zechariah 12: 3-5: “And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. In that day, saith the Lord, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open mine eyes upon the house of Judah, and will smite every horse of the people with blindness. And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the Lord of hosts their God.”

Those who attack the believers who abide in the Presence of God (Zion, Jerusalem) shall be confounded and defeated.

Zechariah 12: 6: “In that day will I make the governors of Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.”

New Jerusalem. The Kingdom of Heaven. The Holy Ghost Fire shall defeat the satanic strongholds that keep people in bondage. “Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place, even in Jerusalem.” Alpha and Omega [Aleph/Tav]. From here to here. “Be still and know that I am God.” Abide in the peace and stillness of Christ (Jesus, the Sabbath Rest) and watch your enemies (demons) scatter.

Zechariah 13: 6: “And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”

“The house of my friends.” Jesus was rejected and crucified by most Jewish church people. Jesus is rejected today by most Christian church people. Either most people will never learn or a sin is a sin is a sin and most people don’t like to be convicted of sin (so get rid of the guy who convicts us of sin, but do not get rid of our own sin).

Zechariah 13: 9: “And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The Lord is my God.”

Believers purified by the Holy Ghost Fire. They will hear the voice of the Lord and obey the Lord (the Word, not the Bible).

Zechariah 14: 17-18: “And it shall be, that whoso will not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of hosts, even upon them shall be no rain. And if the family of Egypt go not up, and come not, that have no rain; there shall be a plague, wherewith the Lord will smite the heathen that come not up to keep the feast of tabernacles.”

The people who refuse to enter into the Presence of God will not be blessed; they will live in spiritual dryness.
