return to me then I will return to you.

Zechariah 1:1-21

Same time s the prophet Haggai

The 8 month of second year of Darius, Darius king of Persia, let the work on the house of God in Jerusalem came to continue.

Return to me, declares the Load almighty, and I will return to you.

1) The Load Almighty has done to us what our ways and practices deserve, just as he determined to do.

24 day of 11th month, in the second year of Darius. 15 February 519BC

2)4 horse men, The man among the myrtle trees said: I will return to Jerusalem with my mercy, and there my house will be rebuilt. My house will again overflow with property, nd the Load will again comfort Zion and choose Jerusalem.

3)Four Horns, 4 craftsmen: These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem. but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down their horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people

Why?

After 70 years rest of Jerusalem, the Load has said, people will return to Jerusalem. Mercy of God comes back to Jerusalem.

God's words come true and this is the town of the Load.

The significance of the colours is now lost.

4 indicates completeness- four corners of the earth. Their power will be smashed by 4 workmen: smiths.

How?

God loves his people which he chose. return to me then I will return to you.

I have to repent to the Load everyday. For I am living in the sinned world.
