Having given the people the vision of God's grace to come, God now calls the people to repent and come back to Him in faith and good works.

Read how God is coming with power to defeat the evil and to call people to repent and come back to Him.

Hear God's cry through the prophet Zechariah to turn away from worshiping anything else but God.

Hear God's Word through the prophet Zechariah.

Zechariah is a prophet of God who reminds us that our Lord remembers, and God calls us to remember Him, confess our sins, and He will forgive.

The Word of God comes to the prophet Zechariah, whose names means "God remembers," to remind the people of the destruction that had happened in the past when people rejected God, and to remind them that God is jealous for His creation.

Read of the fears and disappointments of the people, yet God is faithful and restores.

Speaking through the prophet Haggai, God tells the people to rebuild His House as they rebuild their own and reinforces the cycle of worship in their life.

God warns us, His Bride, to remain faithful, so that we might be restored to Him and comforts us with the joy of His eternal reign, and our's in heaven.

God threatens punishment for those who reject and go against Him to call them to repent, while He encourages those who are faithful to remain so for God's Day is coming!
