Zechariah 6: Dapple Angel Horses, Joshua/Jesus Both Priest & King

Rev. Curtis Deterding, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church in Fort Myers, Florida, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Zechariah 6. More horses of different colors! Like the first chapter, Zechariah 6 describes heavenly patrolmen who serve the God of Israel, reporting to God on the happenings of Earth to its four corners, represented by the four colors. This time however the horses ride out in chariot formation from bronze mountains. This spiritual show of power signals that the God of all nations has acted in behalf of Israel. Although they’re a small vassal of Persia, God orders the high priest Joshua son of Jehozadak to be fitted with a gold and silver crown. Royal roles converge in a rebuilt temple, because God Himself is king and priest in Christ His temple. He gives us peace, power, and forgiveness to work with Him in blessing.
