G'day everyone,
Tomorrow, Thursday 28 May 2020, will be a special time, for we will start a multi-session study of the absolutely amazing Old Testament book of Zechariah.? This book of prophecy is incredible, and it has been called both the Apocalypse of the Old Testament AND the most Messianic book in the Old Testament.? Both are true, and Jesus appears throughout this book in many guises and under many conditions.
If you're not already an aficionado of Zechariah, this study may make you one.? Some called the book of Jude the "canon in a grain of sand."? Zechariah, although the longest of the Minor Prophets at 12 chapters and 211 verses, is still a smallish book: however, it not only covers an interesting time in Israel's history but also the entire sweep of the New Testament - five hundred years before it occurs.? And, yes, Jesus is written of on every page!
It is bittersweet that Zechariah's namesake, the great apologist Ravi Zacharias (the Greek version of the Hebrew Zechariah) passed away last week on May 19.? He was joined by one of my favourite Bible teachers, David Pawson, on Ascension Day May 21.? You have been the beneficiaries of them both, because I rely heavily upon their work as I prepare these lessons.? Each left a huge legacy.
Session joining instructions are below.? We start at 11 AM.
If you haven't already allowed Zoom to update your software, tomorrow will be the last time that your old software will work.? Zoom assumes all of us that if you log in fifteen minutes early or so, your application can be upgraded to Zoom 5 for free before the session starts.? Next week's session, June 4, will require Zoom 5.
Please join me in wishing Linda a complete and speedy recovery from her hospitalisation.? She will be greatly missed at tomorrow's session.? I had been contemplating whether or not to keep doing the videos, but when I heard about Linda from Christine I immediately started on Zechariah I.? They are a lot of work (primarily making the audio track) but I must admit that I enjoy doing them.
I look forward to seeing you tomorrow if you can make it.
Blessings,
Ray
