Well, we have the book of Zachariah. Let's keep going. Let's, uh, why don't you get there too with

me to Zachariah chapter 12? Maybe as you're plugging away in this study with us,

maybe some of you are starting to see why there's a lot of church pastors that don't really like to go through, or they avoid the book of Zachariah.

And I'd like you to almost tuck that away, especially you prophecy buffs, like picture yourself trying to teach through this book if you're an all millennialist or a preterist.

You know, like, it'd be impossible.

There's no way you can explain any of this.

It would just be like, wow, that's a weird book, whatever, and then pass through. But when you have,

what I believe is the biblical prophetic eschatology, and that is, you know, that we're, there's a very

clear, as I read the Bible, a very clear event list that's going to happen. I believe the rapture

of the church is the next thing on the list of things the Lord's going to do, which ushers

in the day of the Lord. And the day of the Lord is when God intervenes and he starts by pouring

out his wrath upon a Christ rejecting sinful world. And for seven years, that period, the

tribulation is going to rage.

But during that time, you know, it's going to do two things in the tribulation.

Shake up the sinful nations, but wake up God's people, the Jews.

And that's the major reason why the tribulation exists, is to wake up the Jews.

And that's really part of the theme that we're going to see tonight, is the waking up up the Jews, and that's really part of the theme

that we're going to see tonight, is the waking up of the Jews seeing that, wow, we crucified

the Messiah. The Jews are going to see that, and Zachariah the prophet is foretelling

those days when that happens during the tribulation period and even into the beginning of the

millennial reign. And then after the tribulation period, then Christ returns at the end of the tribulation period and even into the beginning of the millennial reign.

And then after the tribulation period, then Christ returns.
