“The only thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history” applies at a few different levels, including to Israel as they seek to re-establish Jerusalem after the exile to Babylon. Zechariah reminds them of the ‘temple sermon’ of Jeremiah, who had to address the superstitious belief that while the temple was in Jerusalem the city could not be destroyed irrespective of the people of God’s disregard of his word. They were wrong! How are the returned exiles going? What does Zechariah’s warning mean for us?
Consider Why is salvation found in the God of Jacob alone?
