Zechariah - Lesson 6
Excerpt
Zechariah 7 and 8 go together because these 2 chapters mark an interlude in the book. We've just come through all 8 of the night visions that God gave to Zechariah. Those first 6 chapters occurred during one busy night! Now, 2 years have gone by and we're going to get into some of the heart issues of t Jewish people before we get into the really juicy parts in chapters 9-14. Sometimes life seems to get out of order a bit and when that happens, usually chaos follows. In my 7th and 8th grade school year, there was a science teacher at my grade school who should never have been teaching. He was one of the most socially illiterate people I've ever met. To say that he was an easy target for us students would be an understatement. It didn't take us long to figure out how to take advantage of him. Every day, most of us would bring our straws from lunch so that we could shoot spitballs at him when he turned around to write on the board. But the thing we loved the most was that he referred to those spitballs as “tiny missiles”. It cracked us up! I could write a book on all the mean and crazy things that we did to that poor man. Us kids ran the classroom and it was total chaos! It was truly the monkeys being in charge of the zoo!
