24th Meeting - Millennium Discussion con't Zech 1 -5

We are trying to end the first chapter of Zechariah, I left you hanging concerning the craftsmen or blacksmiths that are going to come to destroy the four horns. If you look back at the book of Daniel, his prophecy deals with the rise of each horn or kingdom. It seems that each horn was destroyed by the next horn. Zechariah talks about craftsmen or blacksmiths that will destroy these horns. The horns were anti-God, but the craftsmen and blacksmiths seem to be God-fearing men that God has chosen to destroy the horns. These smiths will rise much the same way as the horns did but unlike the horns, they will be concerned with fulfilling God's plan for them, the way God intended. Not like what we have seen in the past where God's will seems to have come about by dumb luck. With God there is no sense of luck. Everything God does is for a reason and never by chance. Since we can not point out these smiths, means that this also seems to be future to us. We still have the horns even though they are broken, but they are still strong enough to cause God's people pain. This also is mentioned in Daniel chapter 2, the rock is supposed to slide down the mountain and hit the statue at the base and cause the whole statue to be ground to dust. If you are remembering where we are now according to that statue, we are in the period of feet of clay and of iron, but without knowledge of the ten toes. See Daniel chapter 2 is still relevant and we need to remember this. I see I am again at the end of the allotted post and am not done. I am beginning to feel like the old radio dramas when they used to say stay tuned for our next adventure, but in our case the next post.
