International Sunday School Lesson Zech 7:8-14 wk of 08-23-15 by Grover Weaver

Hello everybody.  I greet you in Christ’s name. This is the Grover Weaver Ministries Weekly Commentary on the International Sunday School Lesson founded in Zechariah 7:8-14.

Chapter 7 covers the delegation sent from Bethel regarding a hypocritical fast and feast and the Lord of hosts rebuke...

V8, the Lord through Zechariah is speaking to the hypocrites of the church, Bethel ‘’the house of God’’...

V9 & 10 contain the same message to the church then as it is does today, as it was then, 70 years after the exile...

V11 is the causation for prayer, the 6th century BC church and the 21st century church ‘’refused to hearken, and turned a stubborn shoulder, and stopped their ears that they might not hear...

V12 continues the narrative of V11, ‘’they made their hearts like adamant lest they should hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets’’...

V13 & 14, point the class to how the Lord deals with the rejection of His’ demands...
