Zechariah - Hope for the Future

9:9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion!

Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!

Look! Your king is coming to you:

he is legitimate and victorious,

humble and riding on a donkey –

on a young donkey, the foal of a female donkey.

9:10 I will remove the chariot from Ephraim

and the warhorse from Jerusalem,

and the battle bow will be removed.

Then he will announce peace to the nations.

His dominion will be from sea to sea

and from the Euphrates River to the ends of the earth.

Zechariah 9:9-10 NET

Key Point: Despite our facing distress, we can have hope in the coming of Christ’s eternal Kingdom

Eschatology = “the last things”

Point where this world and the next collide

Bible = history of judgment and salvation

Double fulfilling prophecy:

2 give depth perception; OT & NT give faith perception

4 “R’s”

Revelation >> Relationship >> Resurrection >> Return

v. 9 Humility & Victory = God’s way
