NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT / ZECHARIAH 4:6

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 4:6

Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.

NOT BY MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY SPIRIT / ZECHARIAH 4:6

Though this message was spoken to Zerubbabel, it applies to all God’s people (2 Timothy 3:16). Military might, political power or human strength cannot accomplish God’s work; we can only accomplish His purposes if we are enabled by the Holy Spirit (Judges 6:34; Isaiah 31:3). Jesus started His earthly ministry in the power of the Spirit (Luke 4:1, 18), and the church was empowered to begin its mission when Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to fill His followers at Pentecost (Acts 1:8; 2:4). Only as the Spirit continues to guide and empower our lives will we accomplish God’s plans for us. This is why Jesus continues to baptize His followers in the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:16).

TWO OLIVE TREES / ZECHARIAH 4:3

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 4:3

And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

TWO OLIVE TREES / ZECHARIAH 4:3

The two olive trees represent the royal and priestly ministries of Zerubbabel, the governor, and Joshua, the high priest (Haggai 1:1), who were “anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth” (Zechariah 4:14; to be anointed meant commissioned and empowered to serve, and it often was done in a ceremony involving the symbolic pouring of oil over the individual). Both Zerubbabel and Joshua were descendants of King David, just as Jesus Christ (the final and complete Priest and King) would be. 

  1. The trees symbolize a continual source of oil -representing the Spirit’s power – available to God’s people. The two leaders were to guide the people into a life characterized by the power of the Spirit (Zechariah 4:12).
  2. In their fullest meaning, the trees represent the kingly and priestly ministries of Jesus Christ Himself. He serves in the role of both supreme Ruler and Mediator between God and people. He is also the One who baptizes His followers in the Holy Spirit and keeps them full of His power.

SOLID GOLD LAMPSTAND / ZECHARIAH 4:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 4:1-2

And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

SOLID GOLD LAMPSTAND / ZECHARIAH 4:2

This is an olive oil lampstand. It had seven lights, all on the same level, arranged around or set under a bowl containing the oil. Oil flowed from the bowl through “the seven channels to the lights” to keep the lamps full and burning. The text also could be interpreted that each of the seven lights had seen channels or lips with a wick (giving a total of forty nine lights in all). Either way, the bowl of oil symbolized God’s endless and unlimited power through the Holy Spirit (the use of the number “seven” represents fullness or completeness). The multiple lamps represent God’s people spreading His light to the world because of the abundant flow of the Holy Spirit’s power in their lives.

SEVEN EYES ON THAT ONE STONE / ZECHARIAH 3:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zachariah 3:9

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

SEVEN EYES ON THAT ONE STONE / ZECHARIAH 3:9

The stone is another symbol of the Messiah, or Christ (Isaiah 28:16; 1 Peter 2:6). The seven eyes represent complete insight, omniscience (the characteristic of being “all-knowing”) and divine intelligence (Revelation 5:6). Christ would remove sin in a single day, referring to the day He died on the cross to pay the full penalty for our sins.

MY SERVANT THE BRANCH / ZECHARIAH 3:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:8

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

MY SERVANT THE BRANCH / ZECHARIAH 3:8

Joshua and the other priests were prophetic “types” (people who served as symbols of other things or persons), pointing to the work of God’s servant, the Branch (Isaiah 4:2, 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5). The angel of the Lord (Christ, Zechariah 1:12), who had stood by and supervised Joshua’s cleansing and restoration (Zechariah 3:5), is now identified as the Branch. This name typically referred to the fact that Christ came from the “root” or family tree of King David, the line through which God promised to preserve Israel and eventually send the Messiah – the ultimate King of Israel. The Branch would carry our sins and restore our relationship with God (Isaiah 53:1-6).  He would defeat the power of Satan by taking the filthy clothes of the world’s sins on Himself, dying in our place and paying the ultimate penalty for humanity’s offenses against God.

IF YOU WILL WALK IN MY WAYS / Zechariah 3:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:7

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

IF YOU WILL WALK IN MY WAYS / Zechariah 3:7

God’s personal message to Joshua strongly encouraged him to follow the Lord and obey His requirements. If Joshua did so, he would serve in a position of authority in the temple and have open access to God’s throne room in heaven, where the angels serve. We too can have open access to heaven’s court through prayer if we humbly obey God and serve His purposes.

I WILL PUT RICH GARMENTS ON YOU / ZECHARIAH 3:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:4

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

I WILL PUT RICH GARMENTS ON YOU / ZECHARIAH 3:4

God had Joshua’s filthy clothes removed, symbolizing the removal of his (and Israel’s) sin. He then was clothed in clean and costly garments and had a clean turban placed on his head. This meant that he had been fully restored to his role as high priest and that he was able to mediate, or intercede to restore harmony and bring reconciliation, between God and His people. This process represented how God would cleanse all His people from sin and “clothe” them with His righteousness. This same spiritual cleansing is available to us through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:7; Romans 1:16-17; 3:22, 25-26).

REBUKE YOU SATAN! / ZECHARIAH 3:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:2

And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

REBUKE YOU SATAN! / ZECHARIAH 3:2

As Israel’s representative, Joshua in his own power could not resist Satan, for the high priest was dressed in filthy clothes (representing Israel’s sin).

  1. God Himself resisted Satan and discredited (proved to be wrong) his accusations. God had chosen Israel to carry out His purposes, and nothing could stop His plans. 
  2. Israel was a “burning stick snatched from the fire.” The fire represents Israel’s judgment and suffering during the Babylonian exile (when the Babylonians conquered and destroyed Jerusalem over 70 years before and deported the people throughout the empire). God had brought Israel through these sufferings, not to destroy them, but to discipline them. Through all of the difficult and humiliating times, God was teaching His people to obey and depend on Him and preparing them for greater things.

SATAN STANDING AT HIS RIGHT SIDE TO ACCUSE HIM / ZECHARIAH 3:1

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Zechariah 3:1

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

SATAN STANDING AT HIS RIGHT SIDE TO ACCUSE HIM / ZECHARIAH 3:1

Joshua (spelled “Jeshua” in Ezekiel 2:2 and Nehemiah 7:7) was representing the nation of Israel to God (Zechariah 1:2). Satan, “the accuser” (Matthew 4:10), was there to oppose him. This explains that all of the opposition to the temple rebuilding project really was coming from Satan. He is still our adversary today, the “accuser of our brothers” (Revelation 12:10), who always tries to take advantage of us. When Christians face opposition, they must keep in mind that their real enemy is Satan and his forces of evil; our battle is with him, not with other people.

Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the Lord. 11 And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and shall be my people: and I will dwell in the midst of thee, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto thee. 12 And the Lord shall inherit Judah his portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

JOINED WITH THE LORD IN THAT DAY / ZECHARIAH 2:10-12

“That day” refers to the time when Jesus Christ will reign on earth at the end of history. Then Zion, God’s faithful people of Israel along with the Gentiles (people from all other nations who are not Israelite of Jewish), will be considered God’s people. (This will represent the total fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3.) They will all enjoy the benefit of God’s presence among them. The reference to the “holy land” (Zechariah 2:12) is the only one of its kind in the Bible. This land was holy because it represented the site of God’s throne on earth and the place where the great King of all the earth will reign among His people. (The temple of God’s presence had already been established there and now was being rebuilt. One day Christ will return to reign on earth with Jerusalem as His capital city.)
