ZECHARIAH PART SIX Zechariah 5 provides us with an almost impossible challenge. And, I don't know how much of what ANYONE says should be considered accurate. However, the wording seems to indicate a time in the future, a future where our civilization isn't what it is today. And, it may be that the Land of Shinar becomes something that we wouldn't have expected. Furthermore, we have some fantastic imagery, a flying scroll, the only time that we have ever seen female angels described in the Bible, a woman who represents wickedness and the basket that she is carried is about nine gallons. This is heavy stuff, so let's dig in. Remember that this is part of the same vision that began in Chapter One, and it won't end until Chapter Six. Never forget that our chapter divisions are artificial, inserted into the Bible by men who were not saved around eight centuries ago. The same is also true about verses that were inserted after they divided the Bible into chapters. Never put great importance in a chapter break or even how a series of verses are divided. (And, I don't know why I'm the only person who talks about this.) The Flying ScrollThis chapter is so unusual, I will need to quote all of it. And, the first part of the chapter describes a flying scroll. The KJV says roll, which is a bit unusual but there is some reason for that choice. And, it's not some small scroll, like a letter written to someone. No, this is much larger. In the Hebrew it's referred to as a מגלה (M'gee-lah). So this would be a scroll of substantial size, and it is. FULL ARTICLE AT: "Zechariah Part 6" by John Little from "Revelarion Six" |
