Tonight we conclude our study of Zechariah's night visions with consideration of the final three visions.
The first and the last visions include horsemen (or chariots) who patrol the earth. In the first vision, the LORD was angry for 70 years with his people. But the promise of the first vision was that "the LORD will again comfort Zion and again choose Jerusalem." (1:17) And in the last vision β the vision of the four chariots, the Spirit of the LORD is now at rest.
In the second vision Zechariah saw four horns that scattered Judah β and four craftsmen who cast down the four horns β the nations that scattered God's people.
In the third vision, - the vision of a man with a measuring line β the LORD had called his people out of Babylon, and had promised that many nations would join themselves to the LORD (which is where chapter 6 will end as well!)
In the fourth vision, Zechariah saw Joshua, the high priest, standing before the angel of the LORD in filthy garments β and the LORD clothed Joshua in pure vestments β taking his iniquity away (and now in chapter 5, "iniquity" is taken away from Israel as well).
In the fifth vision, Zechariah saw a golden lampstand β and heard the word of the LORD to Zerubabbel: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit says the LORD of hosts."
