Zechariah Literally 4

So in the last article I looked at the curse that went to the whole world.  The curse had been applied to Israel for not keeping the Torah, but now it went to cover the whole earth all the nations, all those who “stole” and who “swears” by the name of YHWH are “cut off” from HIm.

There temple had been robbed and the goods of it were used in a debauchery you can read about it here:

Dan 5:1  Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles. And he drank wine before the thousand. 
Dan 5:2  When tasting the wine, Belshazzar commanded the golden and silver vessels brought, those his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines might drink with them. 
Dan 5:3  Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God in Jerusalem. And the king, his nobles, his wives, and his concubines drank with them. 
Dan 5:4  They drank wine and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, of iron, wood, and stone. 
Dan 5:5  At that moment fingers of a man’s hand came out and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace across from the lampstand. And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 
Dan 5:6  Then the king’s color was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins shook, and his knees knocked one against the other. 
Dan 5:7  The king cried aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the star gazers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Any man who can read this writing and reveal its meaning shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around his neck. And he shall rule third in the kingdom. 
Dan 5:8  Then all the king’s wise men came in. But they could not read the writing or make the meaning known to the king. 
Dan 5:9  Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his face was changing on him, and his nobles were perplexed. 
Dan 5:10  The queen came in to the banquet house because of the words of the king and his nobles. The queen spoke and said, O king, live forever, do not let your thoughts terrify you, and do not let your face be changed. 
Dan 5:11  There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom was found in him, like the wisdom of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, appointed him master of the magicians, conjurers, Chaldeans and star-gazing ones, 
Dan 5:12  because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, explaining of dreams, and revealing of hard sentences, and the unraveling of knots, were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will reveal the meaning. 
Dan 5:13  Then Daniel was thrust in before the king. The king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel who is of the sons of the exiled of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah? 
Dan 5:14  I have even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and light, and excellent wisdom, and understanding are found in you. 
Dan 5:15  And now the wise men and the conjurers have been thrust in before me, so that they might read this writing and make the meaning known to me. But they were not able to declare the meaning of the thing. 
Dan 5:16  And I have heard of you, that you can interpret meanings, and unravel knots. Now if you can read the writing and reveal its meaning to me, you shall be clothed with purple and have a golden chain around your neck, and you will rule third in the kingdom. 
Dan 5:17  Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another. Yet I will read the writing to the king, and make the meaning known to him. 
Dan 5:18  O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor. 
Dan 5:19  And for the majesty that He gave him, all peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him. He killed whom he desired, and whom he desired he kept alive. And whom he would, he set up; and whom he desired, he put down. 
Dan 5:20  But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was put down from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him. 
Dan 5:21  And he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the animals, and his home was with the wild asses. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until he knew that the Most High God is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He appoints over it whomever He desires. 
Dan 5:22  And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not bowed your heart, though you knew all this. 
Dan 5:23  But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine with them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is. 
Dan 5:24  Then the part of the hand was sent from Him, and this writing was written. 
Dan 5:25  And this is the writing that was written: A MINA, A MINA, A SHEKEL, AND HALF MINAS. 
Dan 5:26  This is the meaning of the thing: A MINA: God has numbered your kingdom and finished it. 
Dan 5:27  A SHEKEL: You are weighed in the balances and found lacking. 
Dan 5:28  HALF MINAS: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. 
Dan 5:29  Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and a necklace of gold around his neck. And they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom. 
Dan 5:30  In that night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldeans, was killed. 
Dan 5:31  And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being a son of sixty two years. 

Father has always had a plan.  Those like Pix who are angry at Him for not doing things in a way that to them seem civilized do not understand the whole of the story.  Father made a world and a people that were peaceful and living in tune with His creation, but the ones that He put in place to make sure everything continued to be OK, instead left their stations and brought to men, knowledge that they were never meant to have along with eternal souls.  And something that will be in the text for today.  The word used in the text is BASTARD.  That is a poor excuse of a word to describe what is being talked about.  In Hebrew that word is Mamzar.  That means a person who is mixed with another race and that too is a poor excuse for the correct word.  The word needed, I cannot tell you but I can tell you what is being described by that word.  The result of the mating of an angelic being with a woman.  That is what the word bastard represents.  And when Father tells people in the OT to wipe out a nation of people, which Pax finds so disgusting for a deity to do: genecide.  It is exactly this kind of people, the children of the fallen ones, that He is telling them to wipe out.  Why?  Because they do the work of their fathers.  And the world is today what they have made it become.  Totally abominable.  But the good thing is this.   And you will see it in the second chapter.  

notice that Darius has only been in charge a short time when this is writte and see the truth of the earlier explanation.  Also let me tell you that I didn’t know this until yesterday afternoon while cutting the grass, the small voice in my head told me this story about the cups of the temple.  I was amazed to see this name this morning as the proof of what I had been shown.  Thank you Father.

Zec 7:1  And in the fourth year of King Darius, the Word of Jehovah was to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chislev. 
Zec 7:2  And Sharezer and Regem-melech, and his men, had sent to Bethel to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah, 
Zec 7:3  to speak to the priests who belong to the house of Jehovah of Hosts, and to the prophets, saying, Should I weep in the fifth month, consecrating myself as I have done these many years? 
Zec 7:4  The Word of Jehovah of Hosts was to me, saying, 
Zec 7:5  Speak to all the people of the land, and to the priests, saying, When you fasted and mourned in the fifth and seventh months, even those seventy years, did you truly fast to Me, even to Me? 
Zec 7:6  And when you ate, and when you drank, was it not for those eating, and for those drinking? 
Zec 7:7  Are not these the Words which Jehovah proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prosperous with her cities all around her, and the Negeb and the Shephelah were inhabited? 
Zec 7:8  And the Word of Jehovah was to Zechariah, saying, 
Zec 7:9  So says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Judge true judgment, and practice kindness and pity, each man with his brother. 
Zec 7:10  And do not oppress the widow, or the fatherless, the alien, or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, of a man against his brother. 
Zec 7:11  But they refused to listen, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and they made their ears heavy from hearing. 
Zec 7:12  And they made their heart adamant from hearing the Law and the Words which Jehovah of Hosts has sent by the former prophets through His Spirit. And great wrath was from Jehovah of Hosts. 
Zec 7:13  And it will be, just as He called, and they did not listen; so they called, and I did not listen, says Jehovah of Hosts. 
Zec 7:14  But I stormed them away on all the nations whom they did not know. And the land is desolated behind them, from passing and from returning; for they made the land of desire a waste. 

Guess what FATHER STILL HAS WRATH AND THE CURSE STILL APPLIES TO THOSE WHO MAKE THEIR HEARTS ADAMANT AGAINST HIS TORAH AND HIS PROPHETS.

The Father gave us feasts, beginning with Sabbath.  We are to keep His feasts.  He gave us one fast, Yom Kippur.  We are to keep His fast.  The priest in the temple at Jerusalem and later in the places where He sent them, they added all kinds of feasts and fasts for all kinds of reasons.  These are feasts and fasts of men and not YHWH’s.  Father said not to add to nor take away from His Word.  That would include His feasts and fasts.  But Father is telling this man something more, that one day He will change fasting into feasting and if you love Him and keep His commandments and accept His Son as your King you, and he will see that day.  And the best part of it is, you will not have to be pure in body in order to do it.  That will be addressed in this article . I will underline the words I spoke of above.

Zec 8:1  And the Word of Jehovah was to me, saying, 
Zec 8:2  So says Jehovah of Hosts: I was jealous for Zion with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great wrath. 
Zec 8:3  So says Jehovah: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And Jerusalem shall be called a City of Truth, and the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, the Holy Mountain. 
Zec 8:4  So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet be old men and old women sitting in the streets of Jerusalem; and each man with his staff in his hand because of their many days. 
Zec 8:5  And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets. 

It will be that one day soon Father will return to the earth and cleanse it and Jerusalem from all evil and this is the beautiful picture of His restoration of it.

Zec 8:6  So says Jehovah of Hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes? says Jehovah of Hosts. 
Zec 8:7  So says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the rising sun and from the land of the setting sun. 
Zec 8:8  And I will bring them, and they shall live in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be for a people to Me, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness. 

Father scattered Israel and Judah to the four corners of the earth for disobedience to His Torah, the curse, but He will soon gather them to come to Jerusalem once again, First the living, then those who have no more flesh .  All those who loved Him and obeyed Him throughout time will come to Jerusalem to worship Him and Israel to live, 

Zec 8:9  So says Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be made strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts is founded, the temple is to be built. 
Zec 8:10  For before those days there was no payment for man, nor was there payment for animal; and there was no peace to him from the adversary who went out or came in. For I sent every man, a man against his neighbor. 

Now there is a payment.  Yahushua, Messiah, Joshua the Branch the True Salvation of YHWH.

Zec 8:11  But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in former days, says Jehovah of Hosts. 
Zec 8:12  For there shall be peace for the seed: the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these. 
Zec 8:13  And it shall be, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands be made strong. 

Father will not need to punish any more,  

There can be peace with all the evil having done its will and being demolished, and contained forever.

Zec 8:14  For so says Jehovah of Hosts, As I purposed to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says Jehovah of Hosts, and I did not repent, 
Zec 8:15  so again I have purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem, and the house of Judah. Do not fear. 
Zec 8:16  These are the things that you shall do. Let each man speak the truth with his neighbor. Judge with truth and justice for peace in your gates, 
Zec 8:17  and let each devise no evil in your heart against his neighbor, and do not love a false oath. For all these I hate, says Jehovah. 
Zec 8:18  And the Word of Jehovah of Hosts was to me, saying, 
Zec 8:19  So says Jehovah of Hosts: The fast of the fourth month, and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall become for joy and gladness and cheerful feasts to the house of Judah. Therefore, love truth and peace. 
Zec 8:20  So says Jehovah of Hosts: There shall yet come peoples, and those living in many cities. 
Zec 8:21  And those living in one shall go to another, saying, Let us go at once to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah, and to seek Jehovah of Hosts; I will go also. 
Zec 8:22  And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek Jehovah of Hosts in Jerusalem, and to seek the favor of the face of Jehovah. 
Zec 8:23  So says Jehovah of Hosts: In those days ten men out of all languages of the nations shall take hold, and will seize the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you. 

People today think that when we keep the feasts that we are keeping Jewish feasts.  The tribe of Judah may have been one of the ones told to keep these feasts, but they were always the feasts of YHWH.  The good news today is it is not just Israel, the people that were the least mixed with the fallen angels that were chosen and kept pure for the reason to bring forth the Branch in a pure vessel, but also the rest of the nations that will benefit from this new life the earth will be given.

Zec 9:1  The burden of the Word of Jehovah against the land of Hadrach, and its resting place, Damascus, (when the eye of man, and all the tribes of Israel shall be toward Jehovah), 
Zec 9:2  and Hamath also borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though they are very wise. 
Zec 9:3  And Tyre shall build a fortress for herself, and shall pile up silver like the dust, and gold like the mud of the streets. 
Zec 9:4  Behold! The Lord will expel her, and He will strike her wealth in the sea, and she shall be consumed with fire. 
Zec 9:5  Ashkelon shall see and fear; Gaza also shall writhe in great pain; and Ekron shall be ashamed for her hope. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited. 

These are all the peoples that were mixed with the fallen ones at the time of the establishment of Israel as a nation and people.  They too will become clean, holy beloved and pure and Father is going to do this for them, if they will listen and love Him.

Zec 9:6  And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines. 

Zec 9:7  And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth. But the remnant, even he, shall be for our God. And he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron, like a Jebusite. 

Isn’t this amazing in light of what we know today. He is describing changing of a man or woman’s DNA.  The very places that we today get some to test for its properties.This also means that he will be like one born in the place of Jerusalem.  The Jebusites first built Jerusalem.  Father will change those who were born into abominable vessels of flesh mixed with angelic beings into something pure and clean and good.

Zec 9:8  And I will camp around My house from an army, from one passing by, and from one returning. And an oppressor shall not pass through them again. For now I have seen with My eyes. 

So rejoice all you people who didn’t understand who Father was and why He was doing the things He did.  He did create an earth and a people that were perfect,but someone else messed it up.  The children of that mess are still whispering lies in the ears of men and causing CHAOS, HARM AND DEATH.  Father has to let it run its course in order to restore it and the eternal people that were created by this mess.  It will happen.

Zec 9:9  Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous and being victorious, humble, and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the son of an ass. 
Zec 9:10  And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem. And the battle bow shall be cut off, and He shall speak peace to the nations. And His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth. 
Zec 9:11  Also you, by the blood of your covenant I have sent out your prisoners from the pit; no water is in it. 

This is a promise for the living and the dead.  For all the people ever created will benefit.  The reason for the long long time of this project and allowing evil to run its course.  It is so you and I can be there with Father one day.

Zec 9:12  Turn to the stronghold, O prisoners of hope! Even today I declare I will return double to you. 
Zec 9:13  For I have bent Judah for Me as a bow; I filled it with Ephraim. And I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you as the sword of a mighty man. 
Zec 9:14  Then Jehovah will be seen over them, and His arrow shall go out as lightning; and the Lord Jehovah shall blow the ram’s horn and shall go forth with the windstorms of the south. 
Zec 9:15  Jehovah of Hosts shall defend them. And they shall devour and subdue the slingstones. And they shall drink and be boisterous, as with wine. And they shall be full like a bowl, like the corners of the altar. 
Zec 9:16  And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for they are as stones of a crown, lifted up as a barrier over His land. 
Zec 9:17  For how great is its goodness, and how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins. 

So , grab onto the “Jews” God.  He is praying for you to do so.  Start by keeping His feasts and sabbath rest days.  There are many, Start with the sun set tomorrow.  Friday.  Be blessed to come into the city of Jerusalem when it is cleansed and pure again.  Obey Father and show Him you love HIm by doing so.  Accept the price paid for you by His Son and Salvation, Yahushua, Joshua and rejoice with Him for HIs salvation draweth nigh.
