Consider Your Ways

• Haggai 1:1-7 consider your ways
• Core issue is to rebuild the temple at Jerusalem in Judah…God first
• Zerubbabel – means born or from Babylon, the Governor sent by Darius of Persia
• Lord of Hosts, JEHOVAH Tsaba, Commander in Chief of heavens Hosts, MIRV’ed nuclear missles are toys compared to JEHOVAH Tsaba
• From Haggai and the foundation laid, to Zechariah is 15 years, and no temple
• Zechariah 4:1-14, a visionary, a prophet of God, a call to complete the temple
• Zechariah’s father and grand father were prophets, anointing being passed on
• Verse 2, a candlestick of gold, Ex 25:31 of “beaten gold” hammered out
• John 8:12 “I am the light of the world.” Jeshua was “beaten” also
• True value is inside, as in de Vinci and the block of marble that he saw an angel
• Verse 6, not by “your might,” not by “your power,” but by my spirit
• The Spirit of God brings the TRUE OIL, the Holy Ghost manifests The Anointed ONE, and from Jeshua Mashiahka flows the TRUE OIL
• Spurgeon’s devotional on oil
• Jack Ringeisen’s Vietnamese fish oil to run their diesel engines…STINKS!!!
• False oil, or a spirit other than from God will stink to the smell of our spirit
• The 15 years between the temple’s foundation being laid, and Zerubbabel’s completion was a period of stinking “fish oil,” and not the power of God’s oil
• The results were pockets with holes in them, purses with holes in them
• To attempt to accomplish God’s work with our own stinking fish oil will fail
• Analogies…Moses at age 40 versus 80, Paul the Pharisee versus The Apostle Paul, and Colonel Custer at Little Big Horn with a gattling gun back at the post, it was 260 versus 4,000
• Verse 7’s mountain is the problem before Zerubbabel, the TRUE anointing oil of The Anointed One will flatten it out
• Verse 10 KJV is PLUMMET, #68 in concordance is a stone, a cornerstone, #913 is the removal of a smelter’s process, from a smelter comes hot liquid, Matthew 3:11 & Luke 3:16 “baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire.” This is the true oil!!!
• Zerubbabel will “plummet” or work with the chief cornerstone, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it, Matthew 16:16-18, out of the Chief Cornerstone will come the TRUE OIL
• Verse 10, This Chief Cornerstone has 7 eyes, that run to and fro through all the earth…this is the Holy Spirit of God
• Zechariah 3:8-9 removes iniquity in one day, laid before Jeshua (High Priest) one stone, the engraving is our new name
• Revelation 5:5 the Lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes
• Verse 14 and the two olive trees are the two witnesses from Revelation, Elijah and Enoch, for neither man died in the natural. Hebrews 9:27-28 “Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment.”
