The Divine Tapestry

PART 122

A STENCH, A STICK AND A STONE

Zechariah
Part 2
Presented by Pastor Justin Greene April 6, 2014

John Wesley never forgot a terrible night of his childhood. He was only six years old at the time, and he had awakened in the familys old rectory to find it ablaze from top to bottom. Everyone else had been dragged from the building, but by some extraordinary oversight he had been forgotten. At the very last moment, just before the roof fell in with a crash, a neighbor climbed on anothers shoulders and pulled the terrified child from a window. Later that scene was drawn for Wesley, and he kept it until the day of his death. He wrote under it a verse taken from the third chapter of Zechariah: Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? (v. 2b, KJV).
1

Wesleys experience in being literally saved from fire was unusual, but all of Gods people experience it in a far more important sense. Jesus Christ has rescued us from the fires of hell.1

BACKGROUND

This is the fourth vision of Zechariah ... in one night.

AWESOME!

AN AWESOME SCENE
Joshua (High Priest) standing before God (The Angel of the Lord) as a representative.

Plucked from the fire ... saved by another.

Clothed in filth ... even his best is unworthy.

THE TWIST
His clothing was exchanged ... guilt removed without action.

Clean turban ... Holiness to the Lord (Ex 28:3638).

Note the quandary ... verse 7.

3

HOW CAN THIS BE?

Zechariah ties together three great messianic prophecies:

THE SERVANT
This picture of Christ is well known (Is 42:7-8; 49, 50, 53).

THE SHOOT ... (BRANCH)

Of the many terms for shoot or branch, there is one reserved for the Messiah.

1. The Branch speaks of Christ as King (Jer 23:5-6; 33:15).

2. The Branch speaks of Christ as Servant (Zech 3:8).

3. The Branch speaks of Christ as Man or Son of Man (Zech 6:12).

4. The Branch speaks of Christ as Yahweh (Is 4:2).

Note: This is how He is revealed in 1) Matthew; 2) Mark; 3) Luke and 4) John.

 THE STONE (Is 8:14; 28:16; Dan 2:31-45).

Seven eyes ... Complete spiritual wisdom to judge (Is 11:1-6).

Engraved = redeemed.

Possibly

the

the

THE RESULT
In that day...

The Messiah will remove all guilt.

The Messiah will bring peace (v. 10).
