00:26 – The Jews have returned from exile in Babylon and Haggai exhorts them to finish rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem.
09:58 – King Darius and the Jewish leaders Zerubbabel and Joshua are important players during this time period.
18:45 – Various readings of Haggai 2.9 show the layered nature of this prophecy. Mere contact with the temple does not convey holiness. Rather, holiness has to do with your heart and how you live your life.
24:48 – Reading Zerubbabel in his messianic context.
29:07 – The candlestick and oil in Zechariah 4 as symbols of the prophets of God.
34:38 – Zechariah experiences a series of 8 visions.
43:44 – Apocalyptic language in Zechariah teaches about the coming of Jesus and his triumph over evil. Jesus does all that the Father asks, yet doesn’t seek glory or credit.
48:00 – Tyre is cast out and devoured with fire. Jesus, as the cosmic king, speaks peace and redeems the heathen nations. Zechariah 11 portrays a good shepherd who struggles to save his sheep. The shepherd is paid 30 pieces of silver, which he throws before the potter.
53:51 – Prophecy about the New Jerusalem, a land of peace and a city of refuge. Jerusalem will be a cup of trembling. The governors of Judah will be made like a hearth.
1:00:14 – “What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”
1:06:09 – The city of Jerusalem will be taken by her enemies, but the Lord will come to fight for her. The Lord’s feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives and the mountain will cleave in two. Zechariah tells us that a sign of this event will be when “at evening time it shall be light.”
