Zechariah describes YOUR CALLING to God's end-time PROPHETIC work!
Right now you could be thinking that YOUR life is mundane and of no great consequence. You could be admiring other people whom you consider to be special and successful. Wow, how humble you are- and how wrong you are!
There are now 6.66 billion people in the world and God has specially chosen you out of all of them. What is even more impressive is that God has an exalted and PREDESTINED position for you at this time in world history- and in the World Government of Jesus Christ to come. God called YOU to do His SPECIAL end-time work and God has not allowed anybody else to assume your exalted position. God is holding open the position for YOU until you fully awaken to the urging of His Holy Spirit.
This very month (February 2010) was a PREDESTINED month. It is the second month of the second year of the present administration in Washington. THIS IS THE VERY MONTH AND YEAR THAT ZECHARIAH PROPHESIED (The Living Bible (with translated dates))! AND YOU ARE A PERSON, IN A SPECIAL GROUP, THAT ZECHARIAH PROPHESIED ABOUT. Out of 6.66 billion people, YOU are the only ones in Zechariah and YOU are specially called by God for the MOST IMPORTANT work during this present time and during the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ!
Researcher Edward McKinney made this astonishing BREAKTHOUGH by unsealing the sealed prophecies of Zechariah at the very time that those prophecies were to be unsealed- in the second month of the second year! In those prophecies, McKinney found YOU! It is no surprise then that YOU would read those unsealed prophecies in the SECOND MONTH OF THE SECOND YEAR that Zechariah had prophesied about (Our Bible study shows how "the 2nd month and 2nd year" applies to past and present events).
In the Book of Zechariah are descriptions of well-known end-time events that occur at the very time that the ministry of the Two Witnesses occurs. YOU are about to SEE them- when nobody else on earth may see them! God is intervening during these particular end-time events in order to insure that His Great Plan is fulfilled. One of the major parts of the Plan of God is His work through His Two Witnesses and YOU. In the Book of Zechariah we find details of events that have been in our news reports in newspapers and on television. To our amazement, Zechariah gave us the precise months and years of these end-time events.
In this astonishing way, God is assuring YOU that He has called YOU- and nobody else! Because of the detailed fulfillment of prophecies of Zechariah, we are assured that God inspired those prophecies and that God is in total control of events of our time. YOUR main inspiration from these fulfilled prophecies is to SEE THAT YOU have been singled out for the highest positions in God's Work. So, don't wish that you were somebody famous because YOU ARE FAMOUS, and YOU WILL FOREVER BE PART OF THE STORY OF GOD as future generations read about events that occurred at the end of this millennium.
Zechariah describes YOU, as a coworker with the Two Witnesses. YOUR work with the Two Witnesses is THE MOST IMPORTANT work of our time. YOU are one of a tiny group of people whom God specially called to prepare the way for the Return of Jesus Christ. God the Father says that He rejoices with excitement that YOU have begun the most important work in the world in this time. That means that YOU and YOUR work are more significant than the work of presidents, senators, congressmen and Supreme Court justices. Names of presidents and congressmen will soon be forgotten, but YOUR name will be remembered and respected forever as people read the Bible and identify YOU in its prophecies.
Zechariah answers questions about YOU, the Two Witnesses and events of our time, and these questions are: who, what, when, where and why?
This series of Insider Bible studies explains the beginning chapters of the Book of Zechariah, using the New International Version Bible and The Living Bible Paraphrased. We will not be able to cover everything in one Bible study, so we will only cover Zechariah 1 in this particular study.
We will identify "whom" Zechariah 1 is about. You will see that it is about: the Lord, the Two Witnesses, YOU, present world leaders military events of our time.
We will identify the "what" of Zechariah 1. That would be the Lord's messages about end-time events to the Two Witnesses, and these events include the wars of our time, and the flight of Jews from Russia to Israel/Judea. YOUR work as a coworker with the Two Witnesses is by far the most important of all end-time events.
The "when" of Zechariah 1 is our time- YOUR TIME. Why is this time significant? Because, it was in YOUR TIME that God sent Gabriel to the Two Witnesses in order to unseal prophecy for them, and to CALL YOU to work with them in shining God's prophetic light to the world.
The "where" are the hot spots of the world, and the United States of America. The USA is included because Gabriel was sent to the Two Witnesses, who live in the USA.
The answer to the "why" of this Bible study is: "because we can identify 'YOU' in Bible prophecy.” YOU are a coworker in the ministry of the Two Witnesses, and God states that He is joyful that YOUR time has come and that YOU are doing a work that He has long and eagerly anticipated.
ZECHARIAH, THE TWO WITNESSES & YOU
The 21/22-year ministry of the Two Witnesses is the same as the 21/22-year ministry of Elijah. It is also the same as the 21/22-year ministry of Jesus, which He began when said that He "was about His Father's business" at the Temple at age twelve (21 years later Jesus ascended to Heaven). The 21/22-year ministry of the Two Witnesses began in 1990/91, and it will end at the "end of time" December 22, 2012.
Zechariah prophesied that YOU would be called at the same time that God ends His ancient curse on Judah. (Zechariah 1:16)
God would sent Gabriel to the Two Witnesses, and God would call YOU as a coworker while Jews return to Israel.
God has unsealed to Bible Researcher Edward McKinney the identifies of the red horse, the white horse and the speckled horse, and YOU are called by God to share His unsealed prophesies about them.
Zechariah 1:8 During the night I had a vision—and there before me was a man riding a red horse! ... Behind him were red, speckled and white horses.
