In the last six chapters of Zechariah, we see many prophecies concerning the Lord’s two comings, with specific details that have been and will be fulfilled as historical events. But we need to see that the focal point and the major content of the divine history within the human history are the two comings of […]
God’s Loving Visitation Shepherds us and Strengthens us to Walk in His Name
In Zechariah 10 and 11 we see how God in Christ comes to encourage us and shepherd us for the rebuilding of God’s temple. We are being encouraged to ask God for more rain, more blessings, even as He is happy with us. God is willing to bless us and shepherd us – let us […]

We have seen that the lampstand in Exodus 25 typifies Christ, the lampstand in Zechariah 3 typifies the Spirit, and the seven lampstands in Revelation […]
Being Open to the Shining of the Sevenfold Intensified Spirit with Our Spirit
