In this Series, Dr. Don G. Pickney takes a deeper look at Zechariah’s prophetic revelation of the Day of Jehovah Tsaba. A fascinating “true tale” of an open vision in which Zechariah looks out across a field of Myrtle trees. There, underneath the shade of the trees he sees a “tribe” of angels gathered. Some where riding on red horses with swords in their hands, some were “bay horses, of gray, spotted and ringstraked” colors, and finally some were on white horses.
All of these colors are prophetic with more definition given them in Revelation, chapter nine, at the judgement of God’s wrath upon the wicked in final moments of this dispensation. But these angels are significant only to what God is about to reveal to Zechariah and his “twin prophet” traveling buddy, Haggai. Together they depict an event of the glory of this world (the wealth, riches, silver and gold) to be brought to the Church, the body of Christ.
The lead angel on one of the red horses, explains that they have been through the whole earth, observing all the nations of the world. They find them at rest with much ease, but God’s people troubled (with lack of the earth’s goods). The angel of the Lord (which turns out to be the angel of glory that speaks in Chapter 2 to Zechariah in the name of Jehovah Tsaba) crys out, “How long on Jehovah Tsaba will you not avenge your elect?” The angel then with an apparent response from God, cries out again, “God sees the nations of the world at ease, and He is very sore displeased with the excess power they wield over God’s people.”
The Bible Commentary, Keil & Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament, helps guide Pastor Don in this teaching as we come to understand this as at first just a local prophecy about Israel and the condition of Jerusalem and the Temple, but in the manner that all future prophecy is hidden within Old Testament “local scriptures,” it quickly expands to the “latter Zion,” the Church and God’s plan for the event we have come to know through Isaiah 2:11-12 as “the Day of Jehovah Tsaba.”
Vengeance is a key to the Day of Jehovah Tsaba, but not the vengeance of the latter wrath of God upon the wicked at the very end of time, rather this is described in Isaiah 61:2-6 as a “vengeance to comfort” all those who mourn in Zion to give them an “inversion” of comfort, and as those verses explain, “you shall consume the riches of the gentiles and in their glory boast yourselves.” (vs.6)
Get ready for much biblical prophetic revelation in this teaching.
