After the image of the peaceful king, the prophecy moves on to images ofbattle on the day the Lord saves His people. The ultimate battle will be wonby the Lord Himself who will advance, fire the artillery, and even play themarching music. The outcome will be the honor and the flourishing of Hispeople. They will feast and thrive and have more than enough. At this timein history, we experience wars, conflicts, and all kinds of suffering. This does not escape God‘s notice. He is already leading all of history to its comple-tion, when God Himself will go to battle on behalf of His people, to putan end to hunger and oppression and replace it with glory and abundance.

God promises Israel a king who will be righteous and victorious but also lowly, entering Jerusalem on a donkey. The common image of a king in Zechariah’s time was that of a mighty conqueror who leads his people to victory on a warhorse or a chariot. This prophecy’s portrayal is radically different. - P122

The promised king achieves victory not through violence, but by bringing peace. Yet He is no pushover. He wields the nations of Israel, Judah, and Ephraim like instruments of His power. - P122

We now know this promised king is Jesus, who entered Jerusalem on a donkey and secured the greatest victory by laying down His life. His power was displayed through peace, reshaping nations and empires with the good news of His kingdom. - P122

The Lord announces the coming of a king, righteous and victorious, yet lowlyand riding on a donkey. He will proclaim peace to the nations. The Lord willsave His people as a shepherd saves his flock, and they will shine like jewelsin a crown. Grain and new wine will make them flourish. - P121

God gives Zechariah a prophec...

God gives Zechariah a prophecy of judgment against the enemies of Israel such as Tyre, Sidon, and the city-states of the Philistines. These nations and cities all had power and prestige but none of it mattered when it came to God’s judgment. - P118

But while God’s judgment is thorough and complete, He also promises to leave a remnant that will become engrafted into His people. - P118

Those who were once enemies are now friends. It is amazing to think that God would save those who were rightfully destined for judgment. - P118

He still does this in the life of every Christian. When Christ paid the penalty for our enmity, He made us who were once opposed to Him part of His people. - P118

Dear heavenly Father, send me as someone who will help reconcile to You those who are far from You - P119

. I thank you that I do not have to be afraid of opposition because You have promised to protect me and to never leave me. In Jesus’ name, amen. - P119
