Zechariah 2:
In a vision, Zechariah saw a
man with a measuring line going to measure the length and width of Jerusalem,
and the former angel was replaced by another. The new angel told Zechariah
that Jerusalem was going to be a city without walls because of the amount of
people and livestock in it and that God will be the wall of fire around it and
his glory within it. God sent Zechariah to inform the people to run away
from Babylon and after they have re-dedicated themselves to God, God will go
against all the nations that once oppressed them. So Blacks and
Africans need to re-dedicate themselves to God. Rejoice Jerusalem because
God will live among you and other nations will come join in to be with God.
Judah (not Israel) will be God's holy land and its capital of Jerusalem will
again be chosen by God. Be still before God all of mankind because God has
aroused himself from his holy dwelling. So it is stupid for Christians to
be faithful to Israel today. God has ignored and rejected Israel in favor
of Judah, who only has two of the 12 tribes of Israel/Jacob (Judah and
Benjamin). Judah and Jerusalem will be the new Israel, comprising of many
godly people that are chosen from all nations (who have accepted Jesus).

Zechariah 3:
Zechariah then saw Joshua/Jeshua
(I believe Jesus as in Yeshua, his actual name), the high priest, standing
before the angel of God with Satan accusing him on his right side. God
then rebuked Satan in God and Jerusalem's name. The angel then commanded
those around to take off his filthy clothes that represented all the sins of the
world and clothed him in rich garments. God made the high priest
understand that if he always stayed with God, he will govern God's house, court,
and be a member of his realm. The high priest and his people where
symbolic of things to come. The high priest was given a branch and on the
stone with seven eyes in front of him was engraved that God will remove the sins
of this land in a single day. God was preparing Jesus for his mission on
earth in front of Satan. Jesus was to come and take away the sins of the
world and Satan did not like it.
Zechariah 4:
The
angel then woke Zechariah and he saw a gold lamp-stand with a bowl on top, seven
lights on it with seven channels, and two olive trees to the right and left of
the bowl. The angel explained to Zechariah that these were the spiritual
manifestation of God's word to Zerubbabel. Even a mountain would become
level ground to Zerubabbel and he would bring up the capstone to the shouts of
"God bless it". Zerubabbel laid the foundation of God's temple, his hands will
complete it, and men will rejoice to see the plumb line (instrument used by
builders to show vertical direction) in his hands. The seven eyes (lights)
are the eyes of God that watches the whole earth and the two olive branches
beside the two gold pipes that poured out golden oil were the two anointed to
serve the new Lord of the earth (Jesus).
