Unlocking the Old Testament Part 58 - Zechariah 2

- Continuing his study on Zechariah, David Pawson looks at the question brought to the priest/prophet by the people regarding fasting and feasting which were part of their religion. They were wondering how long they needed to go on fasting to please God. Zechariah quoted the enlightening words of Isaiah which show that food fasting is not the principal kind that God requires, but rather ‘fasting’ from mistreating others, and to be generous and kind. The exile had been the result of their selfishness and greed. Regarding their feasts, Zechariah pointed out that they needed to be celebrations of God. He seeks to give them a missionary outlook. Much of what he said in the 2nd half of the book regarded the distant future. David points out that Hebrews 1:1 says: God spoke to our fathers in the olden times through the prophets in bits and pieces. And that describes these prophecies. He says that they were like jigsaw pieces and that Revelation is “the picture on the jigsaw box lid”, fitting the pieces together. One of the pictures Zechariah presents is of a King riding on a donkey which obviously was describing Jesus. Eventually all the nations will send representatives to Israel to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.

Wow. Brilliant brother DAVID PAWSON. Thanks a million.

Our Lord will come back with a horse one day. Praise Jesus, our Lord!
Love watching Mr Pawson teach the Bible.
What a great hope!
i am so glad to have this teaching.
This is probably one of my most favorite videos out of this entire series.
Is this the one they get the highlight from the intro 'it's a story of god finding a bride for his son'?
Fantastic teaching...thank you David, see you in Glory.
Excelent teaching,I have never learned the Bible the way David teaches,you can see the connection between the old & new testament Thanks David for such wisdom & clarity.
I agree!
Amen indeed, same here✝️
God bless David. Excellent teacher!
Brilliant teaching
I agree that this amazing series has really opened up the Old Testament. I have attended church all my life and heard many sermons. Unfortunately the sermons were structured to suit the teachings of the particular denomination. So I didn't learn too much. What astonished me is how the prophets preached for so long with such little effect. Hundreds of years and things just went from bad to worse. Maybe my experience wasn't so bad after all. Why don't more people believe. And many of those that do are seemingly justifying the accusation made in Job. That we only serve God because of what we get out of it.
That is so true.
It is a joy to see believers delighting in the Lord, praising Him for Himself only.
This is a wonderful teaching. Thanks David.
Bless the Lord
Thank you so much for your explanation of many points that have puzzled me for years. I’m especially grateful for the historical context regarding the Lord’s ride into Jerusalem! That has been a riddle for me since childhood: how could the people turn so quickly against him? Now, it makes sense!
Amazing. It is a revelation. For t first time i understand
Humbled. Thank you.
Love this teaching
Thanks to God for opening my eyes with your explanation. Chapter 8 is read in Orthodox rite before Great Lent. God bless you!
Am thankful for this material , thank you Lord
Can’t believe it’s me getting all this info
Thank you for letting me understand the bible so much more than I did!
Thank you
Brilliant x
He was the best teacher of God Good news.🙏❤️🦁💯🔑🌈
Thank you..great teaching.
Amen!!!
40:54 bless you david for sharing the teaching that jesus was born on the feast of tabernacles. the very first day of the feast and he was circumcised on the last great day, the eighth day!!! i do not understand how you can still be observing christmas.
David never did celebrate Christmas - no gifts, no tree, no decorations, no celebration and definitely no Santa !
Is this teaching from 1995? I have only recently found David Pawson and enjoy his delivery.
Hu. Gwynneth Yes this series of 98 videos was recorded in 1995/96
- David was recording new talks up until weeks before he ''ascended'' on Ascension day 2020 at the age of 90
Thats the first time i've heard that about Jesus and Barabbas . It does explain a lot i wonder why other preachers dont bring that out. K
26:20 could this be about to happen in some way now? 😬
An d riding a horse praise God.
anybody else hearing what he’s saying about israel and palestine in 2024??
Hi David you said that Jesus was born in the Feast of Tabernacles and you said that the clues are there in Luke's Gospel could you please show us
Hi Michael this is John on behalf of David
Quoting from Unlocking the Bible book - Luke - by David Pawson:
“Luke’s birth narrative also indirectly gives us the month of Jesus’ birth. We are told that Zechariah belonged to the priestly tribe of Abijah. We know from 1 Chronicles which month this tribe was called on to serve in the temple: in the one year cycle they were the eighth tribe out of 24. So Zechariah was there in the fourth month of the Jewish calendar. We know that Elizabeth became pregnant at that time, and that this was six months ahead of Mary, so we can calculate that Jesus was born 15 months later, in the seventh month of the following year at the Feast of Tabernacles (late September or early October to us). The Jews expected the Messiah to come at that feast and still look for him then to this day.”
And from Unlocking the Bible - Zechariah: “We read in John’s opening chapter that ‘the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us.’ In John 7 Jesus’ brother sarcastically asks him whether he was attending the Feast of Tabernacles, because that is when they were expecting the Messiah. They didn’t believe in him and they were teasing him, but he said, ‘My time has not yet come.’”
! Chron 24:1-19; 2 Chron 8:14
Michael, there is also a lot on the web on this issue if you need more details. Trust this helps.

John declares that Zechariah prophecy already fulfilled by Christ see John 19:36-7
Actually, “that the scripture should be fulfilled, A bone of him shall not be broken.” I think John is referring to that particular prophecy rather than Zechariah’s whole prophecy.
There is a problem with your futuristic interpretation. If the Old Testament has not been fulfilled, we are still under the law. “Think not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have come not to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the law until all is accomplished." Matt. 5:17. That is why the preterist view makes the most sense. Your historical background pieces are very interesting, however.
Then what do you say to a good handful, if not the vast majority or Paul's letters? Take Galatians, for example. The whole book is about not submitting to the false teachings of the circumcision party. Galatians 5:1 "For freedom Christ has set us free, stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." (ESV) Paul is talking about not submitting to the yoke of the law. We are not bound to the law anymore, we are not under it.
@@kristinejurado4827 Amen, thank you Kristine. I was thinking the same thing.
@@kristinejurado4827 Says Paul.
These false preachers uncircuncise speak of the Torah but they themselves don't Obey it, they think they can fool Elohim YAHWEH, these ANTY Mashiaj and ANTY TORAH.
