Hi Joe,

This is a great thread.  I reserve comment on anything I read, but I am now on chapter 6.  You are right, this book is awesome.  Thanks for getting me started reading it.

Hi Angie,

I was reading what you were saying about Zec. 4:10.
I have a bit of a different angle on this.
I like to look at different translations,
to see what they say,

this is the Contempary English Version.
 Zec 4:9  Zerubbabel laid the foundation for the temple, and he will complete it. Then everyone will know that you were sent by me, the LORD All-Powerful.
Zec 4:10  Those who have made fun of this day of small beginnings will celebrate when they see Zerubbabel holding this important stone. Those seven lamps represent my eyes--the eyes of the LORD--and they see everything on this earth.

'Zerubbabel laid the foundation for the temple,'
is this physical foundation,
a shadow of Christ laying the spiritual foundation of His church.

These 'small things' could be referring to the small beginning of those chosen for the kingdom.

Mar 4:30  And He said, to what shall we compare the kingdom of God? Or by what parable shall we compare it?
Mar 4:31  It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that are in the earth.
Mar 4:32  But when it has been sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out great branches, so as to enable the birds of the air to roost under its shade.

v.10 "For who has despised the day of small things," is in the MKJV.

1Co 1:28  and God has chosen the base things of the world, and things which are despised, and things which are not, in order to bring to nothing things that are; (MKJV)

Zec 4:7  Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forth the top stone with shoutings, Grace! Grace to it! (MKJV)

Is this the return of Christ?
Where the kingdoms (mountain) of the world will be brought low.

This top stone, not the same as the corner stone which is Christ,
and Zerubbabel (Christ) is holding this stone.
Could this be the last of the chosen to be put in place,
so that then and only then is the time right for the return of Christ.

Zec 4:10 "...These seven are the eyes of Jehovah which run to and fro through the whole earth."(MKJV)

2Ch 16:9  For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro in all the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward Him. You have done foolishly in this; therefore from now on you shall have wars. (MKJV)

This is the way I am seeing this.
I'm open to any input.

mercy, peace, and love

Hi kat,

I really need to get a hold of some other books for comparison,  I have been using pretty exclusively e-sword and whatever online translation is available. I would like to be able to sit, as was suggested earlier, with an open book [need to wait till payday  :( ] Can you let me know of a few good ones please?

It would seem that what I wrote earlier is totally NOT it.  :-[  But that's great what you wrote. Cheers for that, it helps no end getting a 'different angle'  ;D

Hi Angie,

I have all the different translations, commentaries, dictionary and other stuff on my e-sword.
Go to e-Sword.com and see if there is more available now. 
Save your money, if you can get it free.

mercy, peace, and love
