Zechariah Videos

What this page covers

Where the videos go in Zechariah

The videos here take Zechariah as a whole rather than one passage at a time, so this is the ground they cover: “Eight Visions in One Night”, “Not by Might, nor by Power”, “When Ye Fasted, Did Ye Fast unto Me”, “Thy King Cometh, Riding upon an Ass” and “They Shall Look upon Me”.

Eight Visions in One Night (Zechariah 1–3). A young prophet working alongside Haggai starts with a warning not to be like the fathers, who did not listen. Then the night visions come in a run: horsemen patrolling an earth that is quiet, four horns and four carpenters, a man with a measuring line told that Jerusalem will be too big for walls, and the high priest standing in filthy garments with Satan at his right hand, until the filthy garments are taken off him.

They Shall Look upon Me (Zechariah 12–14). The last three chapters go strange and enormous. Jerusalem becomes a cup of trembling and a burdensome stone for all people, and then the mourning: they shall look upon me whom they have pierced. A fountain opened for sin, a shepherd struck and the sheep scattered, and finally a day known only to the LORD, neither clearly day nor night, with living waters going out and holiness written even on the bells of the horses and the cooking pots.
