For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth [will let], until he be taken out of the way. (2nd Thessalonians 2:7)
And upon her forehead [was] a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)
Part 3
It seems that every article always begins with this same introduction . . . ‘in order to understand this current article, read the previous article.’ What a strange concept!
Our main study began with the five times that the phrase daughter of Babylon is documented in Scripture.
1. O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy [shall he be], that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us. (Psalm 137:8) 2. Come down, and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon, sit on the ground: [there is] no throne, O daughter of the Chaldeans: for thou shalt no more be called tender and delicate. (Isaiah 47:1) 3. They shall hold the bow and the lance: they [are] cruel, and will not shew mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, [every one] put in array, like a man to the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon. (Jeremiah 50:42) 4. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jeremiah 51:33) 5. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon. (Zechariah 2:7)
Following each of the five documentations would not appear to be a difficult thing, BUT sometimes pulling on a small loose string can cause a major distraction . . . AND that is exactly where we find ourselves . . . A MAJOR NEW DIRECTION . . . following the man Zerubbabel. WHAT??? Now you know why you should have read the previous article!! Do not panic . . . just put down the string with the fourth mention of the daughter of Babylon and GRAB onto the string about the man Zerubbabel . . . AND HOLD ON.
(4. For thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon [is] like a threshingfloor, [it is] time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come. (Jeremiah 51:33) . . . 7. In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:23)
Enjoy the trip that the Holy Spirit of God is about to take us on . . . and KNOW that HE will bring it all together in His time and in His order and for His purpose to ADD to your understand the brilliance and grandeur of how His Supernatural Book of the POWER of His Word is beyond man’s appreciation and comprehension.
—– God’s Servant and Signet Zerubbabel —–
During Babylon’s Past, Current and Future Existence
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith the LORD, and will make thee as a signet: for I have chosen thee, saith the LORD of hosts. (Haggai 2:23)
How does Zerubbabel connect to the phrase the daughter of Babylon? Zerubbabel lived during the age of Israel’s captivity in the land of Babylon and in the city of Babylon which I call ‘the golden age of the nation of Babylon.’ The reign of king Nebuchadnezzar was the culmination of Mother Babylon the Great, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS. This MOTHER had many children, but the one child that carried on and promoted the very essence of evil personified was called by the Holy Spirit of God, the daughter of Babylon. The phrase the daughter of Babylon was spawned from the loins of mother Babylon the great whore. The Spirit of God (being the master Wordsmith of language) uses this phrase the daughter of Babylon to enforce the understanding of not only the continuity of evil but the truth that as evil continues and advances it becomes more vicious, more evil, more savage, and more depraved. This is the daughter of Babylon. She is the proud product of all that her mother was and is and all that her mother desires to accomplish. As Babylon was and is the enemy of all that God is, so also the daughter of Babylon was and is the enemy of all that is of God from Zerubbabel to our very age. The daughter of Babylon lives in the minds and in the actions of the haters of God and of His Christ the Lord Jesus Christ. The kingdom of Nimrod, the religion of Babel, and the SYSTEM of the political/corporate demonic domain and dominion are all united together by the seductiveness of the great whore called Babylon. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. (Revelation 17:5)
Try to keep the phrase the daughter of Babylon in the back of your mind as we explore God’s servant called Zerubbabel and God’s sign called Zerubbabel whom God chose. In the midst of the fierce progression of global corruption and chaos controlled by Babylon’s daughter and offspring: the daughter of Babylon. God’s PLAN is right on schedule through His chosen exiled and rejected King, His chosen SIGN, and His chosen Servant. The meaning of Zerubbabel’s name, his place in the history of Israel, and His prophetic placement in the world to come is disclosed in previous articles. Now you know why you should have read the previous article!!
Sitting among lost souls, tormented bodies and broken spirits daily fighting AGAINST ALL that is of God can sometimes become burdensome to the Christian, that is why the Holy Spirit inserts this person called Zerubbabel as a balm in Gilead to the overwhelmed and oppressed child of God.
The name of Zerubbabel (sown in Babylon / melted in Babylon) is recorded twenty-one times in Scripture. Yet, it is in the last four mentions of Zerubbabel in the book of Zechariah, in the 4th Chapter that the Holy Spirit allows us to see further into God’s rescue PLAN for Israel and for His born-again ones, and for the nations captured by the daughter of Babylon.
Through the name Zerubbabel we see more than the man Zerubbabel in the Old Testament, and we see more then the symbolism of Zerubbabel. Consider this, since the name Zerubbabel means ‘sown in Babylon,’ and ‘melted in Babylon,’ ALL of mankind are ‘sown in Babylon,’ and ALL of mankind have become ‘melted in Babylon.’ Babylon’s daughter has overcome the world systematically. She rules the world NOW, TODAY, because she has been ruling over the nations of this globe for millenniums. Hopefully, the Holy Spirit of God will take us back into Jeremiah once more to further view this daughter, this by-product, this cancerous outgrowth of Babylon.
Do you see the interesting connection in the book of Zechariah with the daughter of Babylon and the man Zerubbabel? The LAST and FIFTH documentation of the daughter of Babylon and the LAST documentation of the man Zerubbabel is in the book of Zechariah. (5. Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon. Zechariah 2:7) The primary application is, of course, to Israel (Zion) but do not dismiss that everyone outside of the sphere of Zion, the Gentiles also dwells with the daughter of Babylon. The offspring of Babylon, the daughter of Babylon, is far more dangerous than Babylon because DWELLING WITH the product, the end result, and the conclusion of global ruin of such magnitude WITHIN every facet of life the species of man is not only sown in Babylon, but mankind as a whole has melted and merged into Babylon . . . CONFUSION. Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD’S hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad. (Jeremiah 51:7) Our age, THIS AGE, this is the age of the daughter of Babylon. It is undeniable that we are living in the age of madness.
By now, through all the previous articles you should understand that our species has been deliberately affected by Satan and have become MAD . . . unable to reason, unfit to survive, and incapable of dealing with truth, therefore, dwelling with the daughter of Babylon (CONFUSION) man has now willingly been made into the ideal slave for The Beast waiting in the political/corporate/religious world of treachery to take his place as potentate.
Names change, men become corporations, and corporations become kings needing no nations to rule over and actual monarchs are merely foolish tools in the playground of Satan. (The BlackRock Inc. (wealthier than scores of nations) of today could become another entity, and the Google of today could become another entity for in a second of time nations can fall and corporations can morph into another corporation.) Therefore, it becomes useless to write of corporations and men of power and wealth for ALL are subject to death and/or death by acquisition in a twinkling of an eye. Chapter 17 of the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ clearly states in verses 12 and 13 that there will be or already ARE ten horns, ten kings who are NOT kings of nations, but men of extreme wealth who will with one mind give their power and strength to The Beast. These ten horns, these ten kings, these ten powerhouses may represent the ultimate in wealth and control but they also represent the ultimate of delusion . . . ye shall be as gods. The moment that they relinquish their wealth and power to The Beast he will no longer need them . . . they will suddenly become roadkill.
And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. (Revelation 17:12) These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast. (Revelation 17:12)

Christ Melted in Babylon
This amazing prophetic book of Zechariah is the spiritual bridge connecting the UNSEEN to the SEEN, the INVISIBLE with the VISIBLE, the OLD with the NEW, and the FINALITY of the daughter of Babylon with the FULFILLMENT of the coming and appearance of God’s promised Messiah. Everything written by the hand of the prophet Zechariah was breathed by the Word of God in order to FORTIFY and ENCOURAGE the memories of readers that our great GOD and Savior REMEMBERS. He REMEMBERS all that His people have endured. He REMEMBERS all that has opposed His people. He REMEMBERS. Therefore, fittingly the meaning of the name Zachariah means ‘remembered of Jehovah.‘
Now to the last mention of Zerubbabel . . . . the 4th Chapter of the book of Zechariah is the prophetic fulfillment of the kingdom promises to David through his descendant Zerubbabel yet to be finalized in the Lord Jesus Christ. Everything about Zerubbabel, his genealogy, his role as Governor of Judah during the Babylonian captivity period, his work of aiding in the rebuilding of the ruined Temple, God calling him, my servant . . . . and Zerubbabel being specifically called of God and by God . . . I have chosen thee, to the ONE who brought truth and grace into the world crying, Grace, grace unto it, all connects Zerubbabel to Christ in His words to Pilate to this end was I born. All that was of Zerubbabel (of the royal line of David) from his birth in a land captive by Babylon, to the culmination of the royal line of David in Jesus Christ also born in a land captivated by the daughter of Babylon (Rome). Follow the man Zerubbabel to the True Servant chosen by God the Lord Jesus Christ. Since Zerubbabel as the Governor of Judah never wore a crown so also the TRUE GOVERNOR and the TRUE Ruler of Judah (the CHRIST) also never wore a crown while He walked in the land of the daughter of Babylon. As the name of Zerubbabel means ‘sown in Babylon,’ and ‘melted in Babylon,’ we see Christ not only was ‘sown in Babylon,’ but we see that He was also ‘melted in Babylon‘ in Psalm 22, the Psalm of His sufferings in verse 14. I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. (Psalm 22:14) And in the book of Isaiah, Chapter 53, verses 10, 11, and 12 we read more of His being ‘melted in Babylon,’ that He poured out His soul unto death. Not only did Christ offer His soul for sin and through the travail of His soul many were justified but He poured out His soul unto death. Yes, He was melted in Babylon.
Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put [him] to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see [his] seed, he shall prolong [his] days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand. (Isaiah 53:10)
He shall see of the travail of his soul, [and] shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. (Isaiah 53:11)
Therefore will I divide him [a portion] with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:12)

The BOWL Upon the Top
Every piece of revelation fits in its proper place to another piece of revelation, the word of God IS NOT a puzzle. This is progressive revelation. In many sections it is a mystery revealed, or it can be a mystery yet to be revealed. It can also be a maze. It can be a challenge. But it is written for our learning to be perfectly furnished and prepared to answer every man with grace. (Colossians 4:6) It is written to show us the goodness, and the love and glory of God to an undeserving sinful world.
● Let your speech [be] alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man. (Colossians 4:6)
● All scripture [is] given by inspiration of God, and [is] profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: (2nd Timothy 3:16) That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. (2nd Timothy 3:17)
● For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Romans 15:4)
Now, back to Zechariah Chapter 4 and a bowl . . . .
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, (Zechariah 4:1)
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: (Zechariah 4:2)
Immediately into this 4th Chapter, the Holy Spirit of God takes us into the holy place in the Temple of God where a golden candlestick (ONE CANDLESTICK) is the ONLY illuminating power of the Spirit of God to reveal Christ (the Light of the world) in the midst. The word seven is mentioned three times, his seven lamps, seven pipes, seven lamps. The purpose of these seven lamps is to reveal Christ in their midst. The purpose of the seven pipes is to reveal the seven Spirits of God. (Revelation 4:5) And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. IMMEDIATELY in verse 2 in Zechariah Chapter 4 God presents HIMSELF as the power, the source and the energy contained in ONE vessel, A BOWL upon the top of it.
Side Note: Bowl. Following the word bowl discloses redemption and the Creator of all things. The word bowl and its plural bowls only appear in the Old Testament. In the 4th book of the Pentateuch, the book of Numbers, it is recorded in thirteen verses (Nu 7:13, 19, 25, 31, 37, 43, 49, 55, 61, 67, 73, 79, 85) as a SILVER BOWL in connection with each of the twelve tribes of Israel.
Thus, the very first mention of bowl draws the reader instantly to each individual tribe not only with A BOWL but with a SILVER bowl. Silver denotes redemption. Silver expresses the price of a servant. This is how God the Holy Spirit saw His people, as in need of redemption because they, as all of humanity, had sold themselves to SIN and slavery through the first man, the father of mankind, Adam. The price of redemption of a slave or servant was THIRTY pieces of silver. What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for 30 pieces of silver.(Matthew 26:15)
After setting the introduction of redemption through the SILVER BOWLS in Numbers Chapter 7, God the Holy Spirit again uses His spiritual numbering system of the number 7 in the Chapter 7. Now, actually go to Chapter 7 and begin at verse 12 and SEE this marvelous hidden message that begins the thirteen verses containing the words silver bowls.
And he that offered his offering the first day was Nahshon the son of Amminadab, of the tribe of Judah: (Numbers 7:12)
And his offering was one silver charger, the weight thereof was an hundred and thirty shekels, one silver bowl of seventy shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary; both of them were full of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering: (Numbers 7:13)
Of course, the first to offer one silver bowl of seventy shekels had to be the tribe of Judah. See how God connects His redemption plan beginning in verse 12 with the tribe of Judah and then begins the offering for sin in the 13th verse for a total of 13 mentions. Of course, sin is brought in with the number 13, the number universally known as the symbolic number for evil. Redemption, silver, tribe of Judah, the numbers 12 and thirteen, and A BOWL . . . ALL pointing to God’s PERFECT plan hidden in words, numbers, and symbolism revealing the GREATNESS of our GREAT GOD AND KING, the Lord Jesus Christ.
● Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up? (Genesis 49:9) The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10)
● For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Juda; of which tribe Moses spake nothing concerning priesthood. (Hebrews 7:14)
● And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. (Revelation 5:5)
● I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. (Revelation 22:16)
The second mention of bowl is found in Judges 6:38. God’s word is endless, it is magnificent, it is perfectly conceived and implemented because HE (the WORD) is endless, magnificent and perfectly conceived and impeccably fulfilled. Let us continue on to see more about our eternal, magnificent and perfect God through the word BOWL. What more does God want to reveal in the word BOWL? The next time that the word BOWL is mentioned is in the book of Judges, Chapter 6, verse 38. And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. This is the well-known scene of Gideon and the fleece . . . THE SIGN from God.
It is fitting that this scene is placed in the 6th Chapter, six being the number of man. It is in this Chapter that God called Gideon to serve Him as leader of Israel during Israel’s time under judgment and under judges. This 6th Chapter is rife with man’s unbelief, man’s doubt, man’s fear of the ungodly, and man’s refusal to immediately obey God’s voice when He calls. Also in this 6th Chapter is man’s need for A SIGN. And he said unto him, If now I have found grace in thy sight, then shew me a sign that thou talkest with me. (Judges 6:17) In the Old Testament in thirty-three (33) verses God mentions signs. In 1st Corinthians 1:22, we have these words, For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom. God gave SIGNS in the Old Testament to shore up and to strengthen those weak in faith. However, in the New Testament signs were few for a reason. The reason being that the Lord Jesus Christ was GOD’S SIGN as He had promised. Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. (Isaiah 7:14) However, for those in the days of Christ there would be no sign for HE was the SIGN. And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question with him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, tempting him. (Mark 8:11) And he sighed deeply in his spirit, and saith, Why doth this generation seek after a sign? verily I say unto you, There shall no sign be given unto this generation. (Mark 8:12) After Christ God promised signs of His second coming, and for the events that would precede His coming and for events that would follow.
Let us return to Gideon, the fleece and a bowl full of water because we are now dealing with THE BOWL. Here in Judges 6:38, God the Holy Spirit through symbolism presents Himself in the sign given to Gideon . . . a bowl full of water. The power of the Spirit of God was God’s sign to Gideon that Surely I will be with thee and that the Spirit of the LORD would come upon Gideon. The BOWL full of water, was symbolically the GODHEAD in the power of water, cleansing power, energized power, living power transforming and actively instilling the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and [of] the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. (John 3:5) Let us move on to the next mention of bowl in Scripture.
The third mention of bowl is found in the book of Ecclesiastes 12:6. Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. (Ecclesiastes 12:6) Through this third mention there is the golden bowl. The righteousness of God is found in the THIRD mention of bowl. As the righteousness is found totally and completely in the GODHEAD bodily (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit). Let us now go into this Chapter 12 of Ecclesiastes, but I will again mention the number six. Read this Chapter, the first seven verses are a mournful thought for mankind that without our Creator we are nothing. Verse 1 of Chapter 12 sets the subject, Remember now thy Creator. Whether it is the twelve tribes of Israel, or the Church (the twelve disciples) Remember now thy Creator. REMEMBER who holds your breath and your soul in His hands. REMEMBER that HE is RIGHTEOUS and HOLY. The LORD [is] righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works. (Psalm 145:17) Through Ecclesiastes 12, verses 1 -7 the state of man without salvation (Or ever the silver cord be loosed) and without the righteousness and holiness of God (or the golden bowl be broken), and without the living water of the fountain of life (or the pitcher be broken at the fountain), and without God’s redemptive plan and purpose for man (or the wheel broken at the cistern) as a wheel within a wheel man is nothing. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
As Simon Peter is recorded saying in John 6:68, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. Chapter 34 in the book of Job, through verses 14 and 15, the same concept of God removing Himself from man is recorded through these words. If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
The fourth mention of a bowl is found in our current study verse of Chapter 4 of Zechariah, verse 2, And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all [of] gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which [are] upon the top thereof: (Zechariah 4:2)
The fifth mention (and last mention) of a bowl is recorded in Zechariah 4:3, And two olive trees by it, one upon the right [side] of the bowl, and the other upon the left [side] thereof. This last mention of A BOWL takes us to the LAST days of Revelation Chapter 11 where these two olive trees are called the two witnesses. And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. (Revelation 11:3These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (Revelation 11:4)
However, the purpose of this section of this side note is to reveal that THE BOWL symbolized the Creator God, the Lord of the whole earth.
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? (Zechariah 4:11)
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? (Zechariah 4:12)
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. (Zechariah 4:13)
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. (Zechariah 4:14)
Also notice the connection between THE BOWL and the CANDLESTICK, that they are the same . . . the LIGHT is GOD, and the golden BOWL is GOD. The candlestick represents Christ the Light of the world. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (Matthew 5:14) Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. (John 8:12) As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. (John 9:5) The CANDLESTICK was the visible image of the invisible God within the BOWL AT THE TOP. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; (Hebrews 1:3)
The BOWL AT THE TOP . . . And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: (Zechariah 4:2) Through the Holy Spirit He has come full circle in revealing that HE IS AT THE TOP. Twice the phrase upon the top is deliberately used as a double witness by the Holy Spirit to describe God’s proper place.
● And the LORD came down upon mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses [up] to the top of the mount; and Moses went up. (Exodus 19:20)
● And the sight of the glory of the LORD [was] like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel. (Exodus 24:17)
● And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount. (Exodus 34:2)
● And it shall come to pass in the last days, [that] the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it. (Isaiah 2:2)
● For the LORD most high [is] terrible; [he is] a great King over all the earth. (Psalm 47:2)
● That [men] may know that thou, whose name alone [is] JEHOVAH, [art] the most high over all the earth. (Psalm 83:18) End of Side Note: Bowl.
How does the mention of the daughter of Babylon connect to THE BOWL? As the savagery of Babylon and her offspring seemingly has overtaken the entire world, we, the children of God, more than ever NEED to REMEMBER that God is OVER ALL. HE TOPS ALL. God will not be overtopped by man, even in the smallest detail. Whether in the supernatural realm or in the natural realm God is the mighty One.
● Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6)
● Who [art] thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel [thou shalt become] a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone [thereof with] shoutings, [crying], Grace, grace unto it. (Zechariah 4:7)
● The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. (Zechariah 4:9)
● For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel [with] those seven; they [are] the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. (Zechariah 4:10)
Although I may have lost a few readers along the way, the Bible offers much for newborns, and old borns. Wherever you may be spiritually in comprehension NEVER walk away from God’s revelation. You are NEVER too young, nor too old, nor too odd to learn MORE about our LORD and SAVIOR. The Holy Spirit amazingly reveals through numbers, words and symbolism the GODHEAD bodily to ALL who fearlessly venture INTO the gold and silver caverns hallowed out by the breath of God.
There is so much more than what has been written in this article about God’s Servant and Signet Zerubbabel and Chapter 4 of the book of Zechariah. Don’t you think it may be time for you to pick up your own shovel and begin to dig for yourself? Therefore, it is time to close this article and to move further on into the gold and silver mine field carved by our GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST . . . ZERUBBABEL.
