“Israel Returned To Jerusalem, But Not To The Lord – The Lord Will Return To Jerusalem”

Zechariah contains apocalyptic literature, which emerged from devastating circumstances to give expression to the difficulty of interpreting such traumatic and brutal circumstances, particularly in light of God’s covenant promises to build a glorious new Jerusalem. Zechariah employs apocalyptic imagery to prophetically call Israel to turn back to Yhwh their God because he is zealous to achieve his purposes to establish a renewed holy city and bring justice upon the nations. This is a helpful message for us as we face the current difficult circumstances and seek to be faithful to the Lord Jesus in how we continue on.
