Amen and amen and good evening and welcome. Wait, who's that for? Capono, is that you?

Wow, the worship was good but I didn't think it was that good. You can be seated. Oh, you guys are so gracious.

Blessed that you're here.

Trust that you'll be blessed as well and as well online.

Those of you joining with us, we're blessed that you are and trust that you'll be blessed as well.

We are going to, at the conclusion of tonight's Bible

study, partake together and celebrate communion. So we have, for those here, the tables

in the back, if you haven't already gotten the elements, you may want to do that at this

time. We won't look at you as you do.

And then have them ready for the conclusion at the end of the study. Now for those of you online,

you might want to get that at this time and have it ready if you want to partake with us and we would certainly encourage you to do so.

Okay, chapter five, Zachariah. Because see chapter five comes after chapter four. I know that's deep and profound, but comes after chapter four.

I know that's deep and profound, but we finish chapter four, and we're going chapter

by chapter verse by verse.

And tonight we're going to take and tackle chapter five, which is a, I keep trying to come up with the right words, so I'm not using the same words,

but I got to tell you, this chapter before us tonight is, wow.

I know that's a real pastoral word, right? Just wow. I know that's a real pastoral word, right? Just wow. And here's why it's so wow.

We're going to see what God does for Israel and more importantly, how it applies to our lives today.

Namely, that of how it is and why it is that God, in his unfathomable, infinite, and unfailing love for us may deem it necessary to remove wicked

influencers from us because of his all powerful protection over us.

That's what's going to happen tonight in chapter 5. Aren't you glad you came tonight?

You would have missed this whole thing.
