Explain the woman and her base, Zec 5.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

Explained in the next verse

(Luke 11:48) So you testify that you approve of what your ancestors did; they killed the prophets, and you build their tombs.

What is The Regeneration?

 

[tetelestai]

8 Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.


15 The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing,

16 And saying, Alas, alas that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls!

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!


19 And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate

The Day of the Lord

HINT: it wasn't 24 hours

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

The Day of the Lord

HINT: it wasn't 24 hours

One hour.
Did the nations bewail the destruction of Jerusalem?

 

[tetelestai]

Explain the woman and her base, Zec 5.

You do know there's a flying scroll in Zech 5?

It's twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

Does the flying scroll literally enter houses and destroy things inside the house as described in Zech 5:4?

[tetelestai]

Did the nations bewail the destruction of Jerusalem?

The ones who committed adultery with her, and shared in her luxury did.

(Rev 18:9) “When the kings of the earth who committed adultery with her and shared her luxury see the smoke of her burning, they will weep and mourn over her.

Is that what happened in 70ad?
Who were they?

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!

 

[chrysostom]

how do you explain 18:21

'found no more'

In 70AD Jerusalem was laid waste. There was nothing there, it was leveled.

we can still find it

 

[tetelestai]

Explain the woman and her base, Zec 5.

It pertains to the Jews being taken captive to Babylon for 70 years.

 

[tetelestai]

One hour.

"This was their finest hour" - Winston Churchill

 

[tetelestai]

Is that what happened in 70ad?

Yes

Who were they?

You should study secular history.

If you did, you would learn how important Jerusalem was to the area, and what a major part in played in commerce and trade during that time period.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

It pertains to the Jews being taken captive to Babylon for 70 years.

How do you arrive at that?

 

[tetelestai]

we can still find it

Nope.

No one even knows where the temple stood.

No one knows were Calvary was.

The city that is called Jerusalem today, was built upon a wasteland. The modern city today has no resemblance to the city that was destroyed in 70AD.

No one even knows what that 62' high wall that Jews call the Wailing Wall is even from.

 

[SaulToPaul 2]

17 For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off,

18 And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!


Who were they? One hour is mentioned twice in this chapter.
What is sudden destruction?


2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape

 

[tetelestai]

How do you arrive at that?

The basket is taken to the country of Babylonia.

The Jews were taken to the country of Babylonia.

Zachariah was alive when the Jews were taken to the country of Babylonia.

This isn't hard to figure out.

Why is this woman built a house? And why is her base already there?

Sudden destruction?


Who were all the nations bewailing?
