Wicked Tenants In A Wicked World

Contributed by Craig Condon on Apr 24, 2015

God Has The Final Word Series

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Nov 19, 2019

In the last 3 visions, we see God's judgement against sinners, Israel and the world. God is determined to judge sin as a just and righteous God. He is equally determined to show mercy by providing a Saviour in the coming of the Messiah, the priest and king, so that sinners can be saved.

We’ve come to the last of the 8 visions that Zechariah saw in one night. • God gave him these visions while he was ministering to the people, encouraging them at the early stage of the rebuilding of God’s house. • The last 3 visions shared the same theme - God’s judgement on sin.
