This week we look at the vision of Joshua the Kohen Gadol. We discuss the importance of the framework of Torah as a legal document for both GOD and Man and the consistency of the vision as a continuation of the previous narratives.

As we conclude chapter 2 of our study we look at how the vision of Zechariah describes a time when the nations who come against Israel will be dealt with when the Messianic Kingdom is established in Jerusalem. We also look at the parallel descriptions in Ezekiel, Zechariah and Revelation

As we look at the next vision of Zechariah we discuss the correlations with the accounts recorded in Daniel and Revelation. We recap on the vision of the horses in the first vision and discuss the vision of the four horns and the four craftsmen.

This week we look in more detail at the first vision of Zechariah. We discuss the connection of the month of Shevat, its place in the vision, its multiple meanings and how they open up an understanding of Israel's role in the world and the importance of the Giving of the Torah as the frame upon which the world is built and how the judicial system of heaven has to be understood.

This week we begin our study of the prophet Zechariah.
Zechariah starts in the hebrew month of Cheshvan, the eighth and and the month that we begin our study.

In our final study of Haggai, we review the previous week and look a the importance of the Zerubbabel as a picture of Messiah. We discuss why there are two prophecies on the same day and how these may correspond to Messiah's role as servant and king. We look at the passgae in Luke 8 again and how this correlates to Haggai.

As we begin our penultimate study of Haggai, this week we discuss the significance of the 24th of Elul in the context of the prophecy and make some comparisons with the passage in Luke 8 regarding Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood. We also introduce the connection with John 10. This is the 1st part of a two-part study concluding Haggai.

This week we discuss the implications of the command to build the Temple and how it corresponds to the festival of Hoshanah Rabah, which is also spoken of in the gospel of John and 1 Kings at the inauguration of the 1st Temple. We discuss the implications of this for the building and inauguration of the Messianic Temple.

This week we look at the time of the beginning of the rebuilding of the Temple and also the completion of the walls of Jerusalem and how they correspond to the biblical calendar. We also discuss how the Tablets of the Covenant correspond with the 1st and 2nd Temples and how the 3rd Temple is associated with the 3rd set of Tablets of the Covenant.

In the second part of our study we look in more detail at the timing of the instruction to build the Temple and begin to examine the lineage of Zerubbabel and how he fits a picture of Messiah and the hope of the Messianic Age. Notes are available at www.mbmukfamily.com
