Jesus cleans our sin, it is according to His grace

Zechariah 5:1-11
Vision:The Flying scroll: it is the curse; every thief and who swears falsely by God's name will be banished, include his house.
Vision: measuring basket; It is the iniquity of the people throughout the land; There is a woman st in the basket, and cover of lead was raised , he cover down over its mouth. 2 flying woman with wings taking the basket to the country of Babylonia(Hebrew Shinar)
The 7th and 3th commandments, God's word carries with it the power of punishment.
Basket like those for measuring grain, in which all this wickedness is contained. God's angle ensured that no evil can escape. All of it is carried off on strong wings, far away to the east; to Babylon, the land of the exile. The clean is complete.
Why?
Wickedness, an all-inclusive word, is feminine in Hebrew: hence the figure of a woman.
The wind in the women's wings be read as 'Spirit'(same word in Hebrew).
Emphasizing the cleaning is God's work.
Shinar is the place where human being were against God first time.
Measuring Basket is the biggest measuring unit, about 22kg, means the wickedness are very big.
Lead cover: cut off the evil
Angle pushed her back into the basket, she(the evil can't escape away)
How?
Clean the holy place of Jerusalem. Sins as thief and swears falsely by God's name in Jerusalem.
Thief steal the treasure of the Load or someone else: Greed, False teaching and swearing. Be careful God will count on every evil thing.
To be Holy is my life's meaning. After be clean by blood of Jesus, we should care about this precious life for us. Clean our sin is according to Go'd grace, no by our behavior.
