Download or read book Walk with the Word Zechariah Study Guide Leader s Edition written by D. Isom and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This leader's guide is a companion to the "Walk with the Word Zechariah Study Guide (Personal Edition)." Included with each lesson is a fill-in-the-blanks handout which can be copied and distributed to participants, as well as a tri-fold brochure summarizing the Inductive Study Approach for inclusion in their Bibles. Each section of the study ends with a fill-in-the-blanks point as the teacher progresses through the lesson. This is not a commentary, but a series of Bible studies employing the Inductive Study Approach in order to arrive at a knowledge of how the text should be personally applied to one's life. Formatted in a question and answer format, it facilitates the process of observation-what does the text say, interpretation-what does the text mean, and the ultimate goal of application-how should I personally apply the text to my life. Something the reader of Zechariah has to pay attention to is that which applies to the original historical situation of Zechariah's day, that which was foretold through Zechariah and fulfilled in the course of Christ's First Coming, and that which still has a future anticipated fulfillment in the Second Coming. The local historical conflicts involving Jerusalem and Judah have a much greater, ultimate realization in what is referred to over and over again in the text of Zechariah as "that day"-that is, what we know to be the closing stages of the 70th Week of Daniel as it culminates and then initiates the Millennial Reign of Christ. In the process of God's literal redemption of Jerusalem, the land and the people comes their spiritual redemption, so that ultimately as all these take their place in His Millennial Kingdom and everything meets God's standards of finally being "HOLY TO THE LORD." (Zech. 14:20) This is something which can be leveraged in our personal application of the Scriptures contained in Zechariah. We need to not only understand that God is in control and has a plan in spite of how current circumstances appear to us, and that He has a much greater purpose and plan which is future to our current work, but intrinsically building upon it. Faithfulness to His Word and ways in the present have are not only impactful on others-especially future generations, but on our own spiritual destiny as well. But our own agenda is to live so as to be biblically qualified as "holy to the Lord." Another is to note that as they are building the Temple of God-which in the New Testament economy is now the Body of Christ, there is not simply the requirement that we live in obedience to His Word and ways in order to properly serve and worship, but provide an example to those called from afar to also come and worship. The literal demands placed upon Israel as an example to the Gentiles is a basis for the self-examination of believers in their witness and role to the unsaved at present.

These 12-week studies lead participants through books of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the book; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture. With contributions from an array of influential pastors and church leaders, these gospel-centered studies will help Christians see and cherish the message of God's grace on every page of the Bible. The books of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi contain messages to God's people who, after experiencing deliverance from exile, still struggled with doubt, discouragement, and despair in the Promised Land. The prophets called them to faith as they awaited an even greater deliverance yet to come. Through this 12-week study, readers will see the faithfulness of God as he restores his presence among his people through the temple—a foretaste of the promised Messiah, who is the true temple and ultimate fulfillment of God's promises.

Download or read book Zechariah s Vision Report and Its Earliest Interpreters written by Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Zechariah's vision report (Zechariah 1.8-6.8) reflects the seer's visionary experience, how does that impact our understanding of the gradual growth of the text? Lena-Sofia Tiemeyer builds on the work done in her previous book Zechariah and His Visions (Bloomsbury-T&T Clark, 2014), to demonstrate that the visionary material forms the primary textual layer. The oracular texts constitute chronologically later interpretations. Zechariah and/or later authors/editors sought guidance in the earlier vision accounts, and the oracular material reflects these endeavours. Tiemeyer's investigation is guided by the question: what is the latter material doing with the former? Is it enforcing, contradicting, or adding to it? Using a ratio composed of the difference between the intratexts and intertexts of Zech 1-8, Tiemeyer shows how this ratio is higher in the oracular material than in the visionary material. This difference points to the different origin and the different purpose of the two sets of material. While the earlier vision report draws on images found primarily in other biblical vision reports, the later oracular material has the characteristics of scribal interpretation. By drawing on earlier material, it seeks to anchor its proposed interpretations of the various vision accounts within the Israelite textual tradition. It is clear that the divine oracles were added to give, modify, and specify the meaning of the earlier vision report.
