Zechariah 1:2-6 - The Eternal Word and a Call to Return

Continuing his study of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam delves into the LORD's powerful summons to the returned remnant of Judah. He begins with God's solemn declaration of displeasure with their forefathers, whose disobedience led to the exile. This sets the stage for the gracious invitation at the heart of the message: "Turn ye unto me... and I will return unto you." Gideon emphasizes this summons, quoting the Hebrew "Shuvu elai" (שובו אלי), highlighting God's direct and personal call for His people to repent and return to Him.

Gideon then explains the profound contrast between the fleeting lives of both the disobedient fathers and the faithful prophets of old, and the enduring, unfailing nature of God’s Word. The Word of the LORD, spoken through the former prophets, proved true in judgment, a stark reminder to the current generation. This principle remains vital for believers today, reminding us that while human generations pass, the Word of Jehovah Tzabaoth (יְהוָה צְבָאוֹת), the LORD of hosts, stands forever and demands a response from our hearts.
