III. APPLICATIONS
1. Was Israel intended to be God’s channel
of revelation to Gentiles in Old Testament
days? If so, how successful was the mission?
What will be a blessed relationship between
the two peoples in the end times (2:11)?
Compare Psalm 67; Isaiah 2:3; 60:3.
2. What does 3:1 teach about Satan?
3. Why does God use human instruments
to accomplish His crucial work on earth?
(Cf. 4:14.)
4. What are your re ections about this
truth: ““Not by might nor by power, but by
My Spirit,’ says the LORD of hosts” (4:6)?
5. What attributes of God are prominent
in chapters 1-6?
6. In what sense is the stage being set in
Palestine today for events foreshadowed in
the book of Zechariah?
7. What is your definition of fasting?
8. Mourning and praying are often
associated with fasting in the Bible (Zech
7:5; Acts 13:3). Why?
9. A good measure of a person’s heart in
fasting is how he acts in days of feasting
(Zech 7:6). Why?
10. Is it easy or di cult to visualize the
literal fulfillment of a millennial Kingdom on
earth? Why? Compare the Lord’s words to
His people: “This seems unbelievable to you
… but it is no great thing for me” (Zech 8:6,
TLB).
11. The Lord saw the Jews’ successful
witness to Gentiles as a cause for deep joy
(8:19-23). Why is personal witnessing by a
Christian such a joyous experience?
12. What have you learned from
Zechariah 7-8 which will help you to be a
better Christian?
13. The last three chapters of Zechariah
are speci c prophecies about Israel. But the
applications need not be con ned to Israel.
Go through the three chapters once again
and list spiritual truths which may be
applied to Christians and non-saved.
