B. Introduction: Preliminary view of Chapter Four.
1. Chapter Four is God’s Word to Zechariah for the leaders and the people in order to stir them up. God’s protection is promised, as they are to start immediately to complete the building of their temple.
2. Chapter Four also contains a brief picture of three future prophecies given over 2500 years in advance.
a. The Jewish people will rebuild the temple very soon after the Rapture. The religious but, unsaved Jews, are given by the godless world leaders, their protection and blessings by a false covenant that will be broken after 3-l/2 years.
b. Prophecy concerning the Millennial Temple and Kingdom Reign of Jesus Christ.
c. The Two Witnesses of God that prophecy against the false temple and worship during the Tribulation Period.
