The Flying rolls of Zechariah

(1/6) > >>

hillsbororiver:
Zec 5:1  Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.
 
Zec 5:2  And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll; the length thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.

These verses were used on TBN by Paul Crouch to show that his satellites were predicted in scripture, he even had a scale model of a satellite on the coffee table to show the dimensions were also on the "money."

A few of us were sitting around Ray's kitchen table Saturday night discussing this and we were all amazed at the verses that immediately follow this prophecy, but not surprised at all that they were not presented on the program;

Zec 5:3  Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall be cut off as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth shall be cut off as on that side according to it.
 
Zec 5:4  I will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into the house of the thief and into the house of him that sweareth falsely by my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house and shall consume it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.

What "stealing" is going on through the messages being presented?

This curse that enters into the midst of the house, is it coming through the TV sets of those who are believing and swearing by the heresy being preached? 

Look at this;

Zec 5:5  Then the angel that talked with me went forth and said unto me, Lift up now thine eyes and see what is this that goeth forth.
 
Zec 5:6  And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth forth. He said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.

Amazing stuff.

Zec 5:7  And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and this is a woman that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
 
Zec 5:8  And he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of the ephah; and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.

Any thoughts on who this woman represents (a harlot maybe?)

I had never seen any of this before and I was inspired to read the entire book, so many prophecies of how the fathers (leaders) would turn the flock into merchandise and how the people went along with it.

This is an incredible study;

Excellent post Joe. Thank you for sharing.

This really re-inforces how God blinds the eyes and allows people to understand only what He reveals to them. Surely Paul Crouch has read the verses that follow his "theory", yet the message is obviously completely hidden from him.

Amazing, our God is!

Love,
Marie

Thank you Marie,

The words you spoke are so true, look at this in Chapter 7;

Zec 7:10  And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.
 
Zec 7:11  But they refused to hearken and pulled away the shoulder and stopped their ears, that they should not hear.
 
Zec 7:12  Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law and the words which the LORD of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the LORD of hosts.

Hi Joe,

At first I thought 'great, a funny story' - just posted in the wrong bit  ;) but when I read it was for real, I wasn't really surprised [after I was initially surprised ;D].

I am absolutely 'blown away' at what I've discovered up to now, an I haven't been at it all that very long. I think it's true that if you can 'get' the underlying principles, you can also see so much more than you could ever imagine would be contained in the scriptures.

Thats the thing that convinces me completely of the validity of the scriptures. I don't believe that ANYONE on this earth, past or present, no matter how brilliant, could so ingeniously interweave all the hidden layers into a collection of books such as presented to us in scripture, but still retain a 'literal' meaning if thats what you are destined to see.They HAVE to have been inspired by a knowledge far greater then puny mans' I'm in total awe, and even that doesn't describe adequately enough how I feel. I just hope God grants me the time to get through everything before my own 'long sleep' in the unperceived. :)

Great subject to study. Keep us posted with your findings please  ;D

Hello Angie,

Thank you for the comments, I saw what you meant by the original title to this thread so I made it a bit more complete, the former title (Flying rolls) made it sound like a joke about a bakery explosion.

This book of Zechariah is an incredible prophecy of the fall of the haughty false prophets, teachers of lies and evil shepherds and also of the elect and their (ours I pray) role in declaring the glory of our Lord and our God.

More is forthcoming, I appreciate any and all comments anyone might have about any of the verses in this book.

His Peace to you,

Joe
