How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Welcome to Through the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

I'm Steve Schwetz, and I'm so glad that you're here as the Bible bus is traveling through Zachariah's vision of the flying scroll. You won't want to miss that. Now, what does this scroll have to do with us today? Well, stay with us for this fascinating study in the Old Testament book of Zachariah chapter 5. Now if you're just joining us,

don't worry. Dr. McGee catches us up in the first few minutes of our study with a brief summary of

what we've learned so far. But you can always go back and listen for yourself on our app or at
