The study of the Book of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה) reaches the close of chapter 10, where Brother Gideon Levytam teaches verses 8 to 12. I will hiss for them, says the LORD. The word means to whistle, lishrok (לִשְׁרֹק) in Hebrew, as a shepherd whistles and his sheep follow his voice. I will gather them, for I have redeemed them. The same Lamb whose precious blood redeems every believer will redeem the nation of Israel. Once the LORD scattered His people in judgment. Now He will sow them among the nations for a purpose: to serve the world as a nation of priests (Isaiah 61:6). Every true believer is a priest today as well, going into the presence of God and coming out to serve. Turning to verse 10, Gideon shows why the LORD names Egypt and Assyria. Egypt recalls how God redeemed Israel from bondage, the story rehearsed at every Passover. Assyria carried the ten northern tribes into exile, and they too will be restored. He will bring His people into Gilead and Lebanon, every portion of the land He promised, until there is not room enough for them. When He passes through the sea with affliction, the sea stands for the nations, and God will judge those that afflicted Israel. And He promises, I will strengthen them in the LORD. The One who speaks is the Messiah, Jehovah the Son, and He strengthens Israel in Jehovah the Father. They shall walk up and down in His name, a redeemed nation in the full service of God.
