Zechariah Chapter 4

For Zechariah

He was reminded that small beginnings are ok - you have to start somewhere and then it grows.
God reminded him that he needed to be included from the start, that simply building by hand won't be enough for all that He wants to do. Only with God's spirit in control.

For us to take away

'Not by might , nor by power, but by my Spirit' - all that we do needs to be with God. We can't do it on our own. Well, we could but it won't be as good!

In what we do, God needs to put the capstone in place in what we do, Jesus needs to be what people see rather than what we do.

Another crazy vision for poor old Zech!

Things to take out of this:
- Fifth Vision: - seven lampstands and 2 olive trees. It is explained that the lampstands are the eyes of God and the olive trees are two leaders. It seems to be all about rebuilding or establishing the temple in Jerusalem, allowing God to be in jJerusalem as His chosen city again.

Things for us:
- God can give you really weird visions and ideas. Don't expect to understand them, but ask for explanation like Zech did. Altho he did have an angel to help him!
