Continuing his study in the Book of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the conclusion of the prophet’s first vision and the entirety of his second vision from chapter 1, verses 17-21. The Lord gives a message of comfort, promising that He will again choose Jerusalem and His cities will overflow with prosperity. This is followed by the vision of the four horns and the four carpenters. Gideon explains that the four horns represent the Gentile world powers that have scattered the people of Israel throughout the ages. In response, the Lord raises up four carpenters, or craftsmen, to terrify and cast down these horns. This vision reveals God's sovereign plan to judge the nations that have afflicted His people and points to the ultimate Carpenter, the Messiah Yeshua, who will return to judge the world and build His eternal kingdom in Zion.
