Zechariah's Seventh Vision: Wickedness Removed Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on May 16, 2022

This vision of a woman in a basket constitutes a promise from God to His people to remove wickedness from their midst. The previous vision (#6) was about removing individual rebels. This vision is the removal of the wicked system energizing sin.
