The Flying rolls of Zechariah

Hi Joe,
I read Zech. chapter 5 about if woman represent of harlot. I found scriptures we can see like matching scriptures to scriptures:
Zechariah 5:11 NKJV
And he said to me, "To build a house for it in the land of Shinar [Bablon, Rev. 17:5]; when it is ready, the basket will be set there on its base."
Zechariah 5:3
…This is the curse that goes out over the face of the whole earth [Rev. 17:5]…
Zechariah 5:7
Here is a lead disc lifted up, and this is a woman sitting [Rev. 17:9] inside the basket";
Zechariah 5:8
…"This is [woman] Wickedness [Rev. 17:9]!"…
Revelation 17:5
And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON [Zec. 5:11] THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS [unclean-wickedness, Zec. 5:9] OF THE EARTH [Zec. 5:3].
Revelation 17:9
Here is the mind which has wisdom: The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits [Zec. 5:7].
I would say yes, that woman (sitting) in Zech 5:7 represent as harlot. The scriptures seem matching, think so?

Yes Brett I agree, it is a glorious and amazing thing the way scripture intertwines with and amplifies other scripture.
Good stuff Brother,

Hi Joe,
Now you have got me reading Zechariah too. :)
It is very interesting.
Chapter 5 about the woman, I found this Contemporary English Version a little more revealing.
Zec 5:7 The lead cover of the basket was opened, and in the basket was a woman.
Zec 5:8 "This woman represents evil," the angel explained. Then he threw her back into the basket and slammed the heavy cover down tight.
Zec 5:9 Right after this I saw two women coming through the sky like storks with wings outstretched in the wind. Suddenly they lifted the basket into the air,
Zec 5:10 and I asked the angel, "Where are they taking the basket?"
Zec 5:11 "To Babylonia," he answered, "where they will build a house for the basket and set it down inside."
This is a really good study. Thanks for getting me interested.
mercy, peacy, and love

Hello Kat,
I like that translation (CEV) of these verses better than the KJV on E-sword. When I was studying this Sunday morning before we all met at the Conference I was using Rotherham's translation, this is how it is written there;
Zec 5:7 And lo! A leaden disc uplifted, and here a certain woman, sitting inside the ephah.
Zec 5:8 Then said he,
[This] is Lawlessness.
So he thrust her back inside the ephah, and then thrust the leaden weight into the mouth thereof.
Zec 5:9 Then lifted I up mine eyes and looked, and lo! Two Women coming forward, with the wind in their wings, and [they] had wings, like the wings of the stork and bare up the ephah, between the earth and the heavens.
Zec 5:10 Then said I unto the messengerwho was speaking with me, Whither are they carrying the ephah?
Zec 5:11 And he said unto me, To build for it a housein the land of Shinar, so it should be ready, and they should settle it there, upon its own base.

shin‛âr
shin-awr'
Probably of foreign derivation; Shinar, a plain in Babylon: - Shinar.
H374
אפה איפה
'êyphâh 'êphâh
ay-faw', ay-faw'
Of Egyptian derivation; an ephah or measure for grain; hence a measure in general: - ephah, (divers) measure (-s).
It appears an ephah is an Egyptian "bushel basket."
All this ties in perfectly with Revelation (speaking of the elect and of the harlot), as Brett mentioned;
Rev 14:4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.
Rev 14:8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.
I will be searching some of the other books that speak of the false message being "broadcast" throughout the earth.
Thanks Kat!

Hi Joe,
Strange that in the lake of fire thread we were discussing mind, body & soul, then today you posted about all the things in Zechariah, which in turn got me reading it.
You are right about it being of incredible prophesy and couldn't believe what I saw in chapter 13:8-9
given we had been discussing the three parts that make up a person [mind, body & soul] and The lake of Fire.
Before looking at that though, look at these translations:
Land = strong's # 776 [eh'rets]; firm, earth, field, ground.
Earth = strong's # 776 "And the earth [776] was without form Gen 1:2
From the interlinear : Gen 2:7
And-He-is-forming Yahweh Elohim ^ the-human soil from the-ground
and- He-is-blowing in-nostrils-of-him breath-of living-ones.
From this we can see that 'land' means 'earth' and 'earth' means 'ground/soil' and that means US We are the 'land' in this next verse!!
Zech 13:8-9 "And it shall come to pass [that] in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts therein shall be cut off [and] die; but the third part shall be left therein. [9] And I will bring the third part through the fire and will refine them as as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, the Lord [is] my God.
Would you call that a coincidence ???
I have to say though I just absolutely love these next verses about how we 'pots' will all be in the 'Potter's house'
Zech 14:20-21 In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD; and the pots in the LORDS house shall be like the bowls before the alter. [all clean and sanctified :)]
Yea, every pot in jerusalem and in Judah [EVERYONE, Jew AND Gentile] shall be holiness unto the LORD of hosts: and all they that sacrifice shall come and take of them, and seethe [be done/bring forth] therein: and in that day there shall be no more canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts.
Canaanite = Strong's #3369, By implication, a peddlar, merchant, trafficker.
Cheers for pointing that out in the first place Joe ;D
