Zechariah
Messages from the Lord
Were given to Zechariah
The Lord of Hosts was very
Angry with your fathers
But he will turn again
And favor you if only you
Return to him
Come return to me
But they will not listen
God’s Word endures
I saw a Man sitting on a red
Horse that was standing among
The myrtle trees beside a river
I have returned to Jerusalem
Filled with mercy
The angel who was talking
To me went over to meet
Another angel coming
Toward him
Jerusalem will one day be
So full of people that
There won’t be room enough
for all
the Lord will be a wall
of fire protecting them
I see a golden lampstand
Holding seven lamps
Olive oil flowing into them
Not by might
Nor by power
But by my Spirit
You will succeed
Though you are few
And weak
Two olive trees on
Each side of the lampstand
Two anointed ones
A flying scroll
Four chariots coming
Red horses
Black horses
White horses
And dappled-greys
Four heavenly spirits
Going out to do
God’s work
Judgment and then
Quieted anger
Bring gifts of
Gold and silver
The Branch will come
Rule as King and Priest
Both
Harmony
Tell them to be honest
And fair and do not
Take bribes
Jerusalem will have
Peace and prosperity so
Long that there will once
Again be aged men and
Women hobbling through her
Streets on canes and the
Streets will be filled
With boys and girls
At play
Tell the truth
Be fair
I will repay you two mercies
For each of your woes
The Lord their God will save
His people in that day
As a Shepherd caring
For his sheep
They shall shine in his land
As glittering jewels
In a crown
Fortune-tellers predictions
Are all a bunch of silly lies
What comfort is there in
Promises that don’t come true
God says
I will make my people strong
With power from me
They will go where they wish
And wherever they go
They will be under
My protection
Life-giving waters will flow
Out from Jerusalem
Half toward the Dead Sea
And half toward the
Mediterranean flowing
Continuously both in
Winter and in summer.
