1) A Conflict with Sons of Greece
There is a prophecy in Zechariah speaking of Messiah's kingdom. Messiah comes as king riding on a donkey. As Yeshua has come riding a donkey it will be for a second time, but this time Yahweh will “cut off the battle bow”, and end war so that Yeshua will speak peace.
Zec 9:9 Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion! Shout, daughter of Jerusalem!
Behold, your King comes to you! He is righteous, and having salvation;
lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal of a donkey.
Zec 9:10 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem;
and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations:
and his dominion will be from sea to sea,and from the River to the ends of the earth.
Yeshua, will at that time, which is the the second time he comes on a donkey, will be given dominion and rule all the earth
Zec 9:11 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant,
I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which is no water.
Zec 9:12 Turn to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope!
Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
Yeshua comes and because of the blood of his covenant will release 'prisoners', which were in a pit with 'no water', as the Jewish people's leaders didn't give the people the “water” the word of God.
Zec 9:13 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim;
and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece,
and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
Zec 9:14 Yahweh will be seen over them; and his arrow will go flash like lightning;
and the Lord Yahweh will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south.
Zec 9:15 Yahweh of Armies will defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine;
and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
Zec 9:16 Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;
for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high over his land.
In this section the conflict of the day of Messiah's coming is between the sons of Zion and the sons of Greece. The sons of Zion who were without water, will drink, and be filled, and then “roar”. Yahweh himself will be over the sword of the sons of Zion when they war against the sons of Greece.
I like sharing interesting things. This article comes from a recollection of my Hebrew teacher from Jerusalem based eTeacher and features the beauty of the Hebrew Language.
This is in response to a question directed to us. Does Isaiah 9:6, which gives the title of a promised king of Israel, calling him 'Wonderful, counsellor, everlasting father, Prince of Peace', show Jesus as God? Firstly we will investigate the context, and who the passage is about. Then we will determine whether it even mentions 'God' in the title of the promised king in the Hebrew text.
Many people have heard of Jesus Christ. Many use 'Christ' as a surname. But it is not a surname, it is a title.
What do we think of when we think of Sweden? Modern design? IKEA? Volvo? Saab? Or Aftonbladet's infamous Donald Bostrom (awarded Dishonest Reporter of 2009)? who without evidence accused Israel of illegally harvesting organs from Gaza people during the war.
