THE ACTIVITY OF GOD IN THE BIBLE - ZECHARIAH & MALACHI

 The Activity of God

Going through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, phrase by phrase and word by word to give attention to the following:
--the Names of God;
--the word & deeds of God;
--the sayings of God;
--the attributes of God;

Too often the churches weakness and the Christians weakness is found in this one sin, 'we do not know God'.  We have not studied the Bible, nor Him to learn more of Him.  Seeking that this might be a help for myself and others in this pursuit that each of us 'may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord.

ZECHARIAH
Chapter 1

1:1      In the eight month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the Lord unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,      God's word comes to His prophet;   And God said/spoke;

1:2     The Lord hath been sore displeased with your fathers.     God displeased with their fathers;  PLEASE GOD;

1:3       Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye unto Me, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.     And God said/spoke (2);   God's Name - Lord of hosts (3);    God gives directive to them to turn unto Him;  I will's of God to turn unto them;

1:4       Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings:  but they did not hear, nor hearken unto Me, saith the Lord.     And God said/spoke (2);   God's Name - Lord of hosts;   God commands them to turn from their evil ways and doings;  God knows those that hear Him and those that do not; 

1:5    God asks question (2);

1:6      But My words and My statutes, which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers?   and they returned and said, Like as the Lord of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath HE dealt with us.     And God said/spoke;  the Lord commanded;   God's word and God's statutes;  God's servants the prophets;  God asks a question; God's Name - Lord of hosts;   God rewards according to their ways and doings;  God deals with men;

1:9    God's angel with him and answers him;

1:10     And the man that stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom the Lord hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth.    God's angel answers him;  God sent HIs angels through the earth;\

1:11       And they answered the angel of the Lord that stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold all the earth sitteth still, and is at rest.     God's angel answers and says;   God's angels walk to and fro through earth;

1:12       Then the angel of the Lord answered and said, O Lord of hosts, how long wilt Thou not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which Thou hast had indignation these threescore and ten years?     God's angel answers and says to God;  God's Name - Lord of hosts;  God asked to have mercy on Jerusalem and Judah;  God had indignation upon them 70 years;  God asked a question;

1:13      And the Lord answered the angel that talked with me with good words and comfortable words.     God answers;   And God said/spoke;    God's word good and comfortable;

1:15     And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease:  for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.     God sore displeased;  PLEASE GOD;  God little displeased;

1:16       Therefore thus saith the Lord; I am returned to Jerusalem with mercies:  My house shall be built in it, saith the Lord of hosts, and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem.     And God said/spoke (2);  God's Name - Lord of Hosts;   God returned to them with mercies;  God's house to be built;   God stretch forth line upon it;

1:19    God's angel asked questioned and answered of four horns;

1:20     And the Lord shewed me four carpenters.     God shows him;

1:21     then said I, What come these to do?  And He spake, saying, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head:  but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles. . . .       God hears him ask question;  God answers him;  And God said/spoke;  God reveals who and what these are, Omniscient;

Chapter 2  

2:1 - 4    God's angels speak and reveal to Zechariah that which shall be;

7:2       When they had sent unto the house of God Sherezer and Regemmelech, and their men to pray before the Lord,        God's house;  God prayed before;

7:7       Should ye not hear the words which the Lord hath cried by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited and in prosperity,      God asks a question;   God's word to be heard;   God's prophets cried His words to them before their destruction;   

7:8       And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, saying,     God's word comes to His prophet;  And God said/spoke;

7:13       Therefore it is come to pass, that as He cried, and they would not hear; so they cried, and I would not hear, saith the Lord of hosts;      God brings it to pass;   God cried;  God knows and sees they would not hear;   God will not hear;  And God said/spoke;  God's Name - Lord of hosts;

8:7      Thus saith the Lord of hosts; Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the west country.      And God said/spoke;   God's Name - Lord of hosts;   I will's of God to save His people from east and west;   God's people;

8:8        And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem:  and they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.     I will's of God to bring them and they shall dwell in Jerusalem;   God's people;   I will's of God to be their God;   

8:9      Thus saith the Lord of hosts; let your hands be strong, ye that hear in these days their words by the mouth the prophets, which were in the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built.      And God said/spoke;   God's Name - Lord of hosts (2);  God gives directive for hands to be strong by His Word from His prophet;  God's prophets speaking God's Word;  God's house;

8:10      For before these days there was no hire for man, nor any hire for beast; . . . for I set all men every one against his neighbour.     God declares the day and what is happening;  God set men against each other;

8:11       But now I will not be unto the residue of this people as in the former days, saith the Lord of hosts.     I will's of God to not be to them as former days;  And God said/spoke;  God's Name-  Lord of hosts;

8:12       For the seed shall be prosperous;  . . . .and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things     God makes land to provide;   I will's of God to cause remnant to possess all these things;

8:13       And it shall come to pass, that as ye were a curse among the heathen. . . so will I save you, and ye shall be a blessing; fear not, but let your hands be strong.      God reveals what shall come to pass;  God brings them from curse to blessing;  I will's of God to save them and make them a blessings;  God directs them to not fear but let their hands be strong;

8:15       So again have I thought in these days to do well unto Jerusalem and to the house of Judah:  fear ye not.     God's thoughts to do well unto them;   God directs for them to fear not;

8:16 - 17    God gives directive of what they are to do;

8:17      for all these things that I hate, saith the Lord.      And God said/spoke;  PLEASE GOD;  God hates;

8:18      And the word of the Lord of hosts came unto me, saying,     God's word comes to His prophet;   God's prophet;   And God said/spoke;   God's Name - Lord of hosts;

2:15      And did not He make One?  Yet had He the residue of the spirit.  And wherefore one?  That He might seek a godly seed,.  Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth.         God asks a question;  God made them one;  God has residue of spirit;  God might seek godly seed;   God warns to take heed to spirit and not o deal treacherously;

2:16      For the Lord, the God of Israel saith that HE hateth putting away:  for one covereth violence with his garment, saith the Lord of hosts:  therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously.       God is God of Israel, the Lord, Lord of hosts;  And God said/spoke (2);  God hates putting away;  God sees and knows what they do;  God warns against this;

3:6     For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.    God is the Lord, the I AM; God changes not;  

3:7     Even from the days of your fathers, ye are gone away from Mine ordinances, and have not kept them.  Return unto Me, and I will return unto you, saith the Lord of hosts.  But ye said, Wherein shall we return?      God's ordinance gone away from and not kept;  God sees and knows those that go away from Him and keep not His ways;   God to be returned to;  I will's of God to return to them, if they return to Him;  And God said/spoke;   God's Name  - Lord of hosts;  God heard what they said;

3:8      Will a man rob God?  Yet ye have robbed Me.  But ye say, Wherein have we robbed Thee?  In tithes and offerings.     God asks a question; God is robbed by man;  God heard what they answered;   God tells them what they robbed Him of, tithes and offerings.   

3:9      Ye are cursed with a curse:  for ye have robbed Me, even this whole nation.     God curses them;  God robbed by whole nation;  

3:10   Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.      God gives directive to bring in tithes into His storehouse;  God's house; God to be proven;  And God said/spoke;  God's name - Lord of hosts;  I will's of God to open windows of heaven;  God pour out blessing;

3:11     And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.        I will's of God to rebuke devil;   God gives promise of fruits and vine to cast forth fruit;  And God said/spoke;  God's Name - Lord of hosts;

3:12      And all nations shall call you blessed:  for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.     God pronounces blessings upon them;  And God said/spoke;  God's Name - Lord of hosts;  

3:13      Your words have been stout against Me, saith the Lord.  Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against Thee?     God has heard their words against Him;  And God said/spoke;  God heard and knew their question against Him;   

3:14      Ye have said, It is vain to serve God:  and what profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?     God heard what they said;  God knew what they questioned;   God to be served, and it is not in vain;   God's ordinances to be kept;  God knew they walked mournfully before Him;  God's Name - Lord of hosts;

3:15      And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.     God sees and knows those that are given to pride, wickedness;   God is tempted by their responses;

3:16      Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another:  and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon His Name.      the fear of the Lord (2); God is to be feared;  God hearkened to them;  God heard them; God has book of remembrance written before Him;  God's Name thought upon by them;

3:17      And they shall be Mine, saith the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up My jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.      God claims them as HIs Own;  And God said/spoke;  God's Name - Lord of hosts; God makes them up as His jewels;  God's jewels;  I will's of God to spare them;  

3:18      Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.     God foretells what shall in discerning between righteous and wicked;  God knows those that serve Him and those that serve Him not;

Chapter 4

4:1     For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:  and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.      God declares the day of the Lord;  God reveals the proud and wicked shall be consumed by fire;   And god said/spoke;   God's Name - Lord of hosts; God declares they shall be destroyed, without root or branch;    

4:2      But unto you that fear MY Name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.     the fear of the Lord; God's Name shall be feared;   Messianic prophecy of Christ as Sun of righteousness;  Christ shall arise with healing in His wings;   Christ's wings;  God promises blessings as they go forth;   

4:3      And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the Lord of hosts.    God declared they shall be consumed with fire and left as ashes;   Christ shall tread them under the soles of His feet;  Christ's feet;  God declares of that day that He shall do it;  And God said/spoke;   God's Name - Lord of hosts;

4:4      Remember ye the law of Moses My servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.     God's servant Moses;  the Lord commanded;  God directs them to remember His law, statutes and judgments; 

4:5      Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord:     I will's of God to send prophet;   God's day is great and dreadful;   Messianic prophecy of John the Baptist before Christ;

4:6      And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.      God declares what He shall do when He comes;  Messianic prophecy of Christ;   God issues warning of His coming to smite with curse;   God smites earth with curse;
