Vision 1 – The Red Horse and Myrtle Trees - Zech 1:7-17

“Does God Know and Does He Even Care?”

 

Zechariah 1:7-17 8  “I saw in the night, and behold, a man riding on a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in the glen, and behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.”

 

The First Vison:

 

               The rules of engagement for visions

               1. Like a parable, a vision will have one main point

               2. There are details that add color but can’t be reliably interpreted.

               3. Less important points in a vision must support main point

               4. There is often an interpreter of the vision that identifies the main point

               5. Unlike parable an earthly story with a heavenly meaning Vision = Heavenly               story with earthly meaning

 

The Meaning:

 

                              a man riding on a red horse

                              behind him were red, sorrel, and white horses.

                              The myrtle trees in the glen

              

               The Angel’s explanation of the vision – Zech 1:9-11
