We love to quote this at Christmastime about the baby Jesus: Isaiah 9:6-7
6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this. What many don’t realize is that only the first seven words of verse 6 pertained to Christmas: “for to us a child is born…” Then there was a 33-year gap, followed by the next six words: “to us a son is given;” And after those words has been a gap 2,000 years and counting. The government has not been placed upon His shoulders yet. But when it is: what will it be like? That’s what we’ll be discussing today on the Cross References podcast.

Zechariah is maybe the most Jesus-focused book in the whole Old Testament. There were times while we were studying this book that I even forgot it was Old Testament. That’s how future-focused it is. And today, we’re gonna wrap it all up. So my plan for today is to recap what we’ve studied in this book, with a particular emphasis on Jesus. Let’s highlight all the places that spoke about Jesus’ first AND second comings. I’d like to share what some of my favorite episodes were here. And after that, we’ll take a look at the last six verses of chapter 14. And then: we’ll talk about which book we could study next—and give you a chance to weigh in on whether you’d even like to the podcast to continue at all. That’s what we’ll do today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
You’re probably familiar with this story from the beginning of Jesus’ ministry: Luke 4:16-20
Last week, we covered what needs to happen before Jesus returns. The Jewish people must look on Him whom they pierced and mourn. Once you understand that, you understand this demonic hatred of the Jewish people. Now you understand the spirit behind antisemitism. Now you understand why there was a holocaust. But I have some really unpleasant news to share today from Bible prophecy: Zechariah 13 tells us there will be another. Another holocaust. And … it will be twice as bad as the first one. We will learn about that today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
The first verse of the Bible, we all know it: (Genesis 1:1)
The Bible is not just a book about things that happened a long time ago. It’s a book about things that still happen today. Human nature. Spiritual realities. A God who never changes. The Bible is alive, and if you just read it as being stories about events that happened a long time ago, you’ll miss the relevance it has to your life. The Bible is a book about things that always happen. And prophecy is like that as well. Prophecy is not just about events that are going to happen someday in the future. Prophecy is about things that happen now, because the Bible is a book about things that always happen. You’ll find out what that means today on the God and His Prophets podcast.
