Hello and welcome to
"His Words Are Life."
00:00:14.85\00:00:16.83
I am Kelly Mowrer and
today we will be reading
00:00:16.84\00:00:18.95
together in the Book of Haggai.
00:00:18.96\00:00:20.84
But let's pray before we start.
00:00:20.85\00:00:22.57
Dear Heavenly
Father, thank you again
00:00:23.40\00:00:25.48
for all of Your blessings to us.
00:00:25.49\00:00:28.00
For Your mercy and for
Your grace and for Your love.
00:00:28.01\00:00:31.23
Please teach us
how to love you better
00:00:31.24\00:00:33.61
in the words that we read today,
00:00:33.62\00:00:36.06
in the name of Jesus, amen.
00:00:36.07\00:00:37.80
We're reading in the
book of Haggai Chapter 2
00:00:38.85\00:00:42.34
picking up with verse 10,
00:00:42.35\00:00:45.07
and this is the
King James Version.
00:00:45.08\00:00:46.80
"In the four and twentieth
day of the ninth month,
00:00:48.14\00:00:51.15
in the second year of Darius,
00:00:51.16\00:00:53.17
came the word of the
Lord by Haggai the prophet,
00:00:53.18\00:00:55.72
saying, thus
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:00:55.73\00:00:58.68
ask now the priests
concerning the law, saying,
00:00:58.69\00:01:01.77
if one bear holy flesh
in the skirt of his garment,
00:01:01.78\00:01:05.22
and with his skirt do
touch bread, or pottage,
00:01:05.23\00:01:08.69
or wine, or oil, or
any meat shall it be holy?
00:01:08.70\00:01:13.40
and the priests
answered and said, no.
00:01:14.67\00:01:17.60
Then said Haggai, if one
that is unclean by a dead body
00:01:17.61\00:01:21.52
touch any of these,
shall it be unclean?
00:01:21.53\00:01:25.57
and the priests answered
and said, It shall be unclean.
00:01:25.58\00:01:30.26
Then answered Haggai, and said,
00:01:30.27\00:01:32.02
so is this people, and
so is this nation before me,
00:01:32.03\00:01:35.73
saith the Lord,
00:01:35.74\00:01:37.02
and so is every
work of their hands,
00:01:37.03\00:01:39.62
and that which they
offer there is unclean.
00:01:39.63\00:01:44.07
And now, I pray you, consider
from this day and upward
00:01:44.08\00:01:48.39
from before a stone
was laid upon a stone
00:01:48.40\00:01:51.04
in the temple of the Lord.
00:01:51.05\00:01:52.27
Since those days were,
when one came to an heap
00:01:52.28\00:01:55.23
of twenty
measures, there were but ten,
00:01:55.24\00:01:58.93
when one came to the
pressfat for to draw out
00:01:58.94\00:02:01.75
fifty vessels out of the press,
00:02:01.76\00:02:04.02
there were but twenty.
00:02:04.03\00:02:05.29
I smote you with
blasting and with mildew
00:02:06.34\00:02:08.77
and with hail in all
the labours of your hands,
00:02:08.78\00:02:11.55
yet ye turned not
to me, saith the Lord.
00:02:11.56\00:02:14.63
Consider now from
this day and upward,
00:02:15.88\00:02:19.05
from the four and twentieth
day of the ninth month,
00:02:19.06\00:02:22.71
even from the day
that the foundation
00:02:22.72\00:02:25.49
of the Lord's temple
was laid, consider it.
00:02:25.50\00:02:29.15
Is the seed yet in the barn?
00:02:29.16\00:02:32.27
Yea, as yet the
vine, and the fig tree,
00:02:32.28\00:02:35.17
and the
pomegranate, and the olive tree,
00:02:35.18\00:02:37.26
hath not brought forth,
00:02:37.27\00:02:39.87
from this day will I bless you.
00:02:39.88\00:02:42.49
And again the word of
the Lord came unto Haggai
00:02:43.40\00:02:45.86
in the four and twentieth
day of the month, saying,
00:02:45.87\00:02:48.09
speak to
Zerubbabel, Governor of Judah,
00:02:48.10\00:02:50.88
saying, I will shake
the heavens and the earth,
00:02:50.89\00:02:53.45
that I will overthrow
the throne of kingdoms,
00:02:53.46\00:02:56.22
and I will destroy the strength
00:02:56.23\00:02:58.01
of the kingdoms of the heathen,
00:02:58.02\00:02:59.70
and I will
overthrow the chariots,
00:02:59.71\00:03:02.04
and those that ride in them,
00:03:02.05\00:03:03.85
and the horses and
their riders shall come down,
00:03:03.86\00:03:06.94
every one by the
sword of his brother.
00:03:06.95\00:03:09.81
In that day,
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:03:09.82\00:03:12.08
will I take thee, O
Zerubbabel, my servant,
00:03:12.09\00:03:14.90
the son of
Shealtiel, Saith the Lord,
00:03:14.91\00:03:17.33
and will make thee as a signet,
00:03:17.34\00:03:20.41
for I have chosen thee,
saith the Lord of hosts."
00:03:20.42\00:03:25.12
Continuing now in
the Book of Zechariah
00:03:27.02\00:03:29.68
Chapter 1, this is
the King James Version.
00:03:29.69\00:03:31.99
"In the eighth month, in
the second year of Darius,
00:03:33.45\00:03:36.65
came the word of
the Lord unto Zechariah,
00:03:36.66\00:03:39.68
the son of Berechiah,
the son of Iddo the prophet,
00:03:39.69\00:03:43.22
saying, the Lord hath been sore
displeased with your fathers.
00:03:43.23\00:03:48.28
Therefore say thou unto them,
00:03:48.29\00:03:50.24
thus saith the Lord of hosts,
00:03:50.25\00:03:52.05
turn ye unto me,
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:03:52.06\00:03:55.74
and I will turn unto
you, saith the Lord of hosts.
00:03:55.75\00:03:59.21
Be ye not as your fathers,
00:03:59.22\00:04:01.70
unto whom the
former prophets have cried
00:04:01.71\00:04:04.12
saying, thus
saith the Lord of host,
00:04:04.13\00:04:06.72
turn ye now from your evil ways,
00:04:06.73\00:04:08.21
and from your evil
doings, but they did not hear,
00:04:08.22\00:04:11.75
nor hearken unto
me, saith the Lord.
00:04:11.76\00:04:15.12
Your fathers, where are they?
00:04:15.13\00:04:18.53
And the prophets,
do they live for ever?
00:04:18.54\00:04:21.68
But my words and my statutes,
00:04:21.69\00:04:24.08
which I commanded my
servants the prophets,
00:04:24.09\00:04:26.84
Did they not take
hold of your fathers?
00:04:26.85\00:04:29.62
And they returned and
said, like as the Lord of hosts
00:04:29.63\00:04:32.43
thought to do unto
us, according to our ways,
00:04:32.44\00:04:34.64
and according to our doings,
so hath he dealt with us.
00:04:34.65\00:04:37.97
Upon the four and twentieth
day of the eleventh month,
00:04:39.61\00:04:42.77
which is the month Sebat,
in the second year of Darius,
00:04:42.78\00:04:46.45
came the word of
the Lord unto Zechariah,
00:04:46.46\00:04:49.52
the son of Berechiah,
00:04:49.53\00:04:50.86
the son of Iddo
the prophet, saying.
00:04:50.87\00:04:53.72
I saw by night, and behold
a man riding upon a red horse,
00:04:53.73\00:04:59.71
and he stood
among the myrtle trees
00:04:59.72\00:05:01.10
that were in the
bottom and behind him
00:05:01.11\00:05:03.28
were there red
horses speckled and white.
00:05:03.29\00:05:06.23
Then said I, oh, my
Lord, what are these?
00:05:07.33\00:05:11.58
And the angel that
talked with me said unto me,
00:05:11.59\00:05:14.09
I'll show thee what these be?
00:05:14.10\00:05:17.31
And the man that
stood among the myrtle trees
00:05:17.32\00:05:19.42
answered and said these
are they whom the Lord had said
00:05:19.43\00:05:24.03
to walk to and
fro through the earth.
00:05:24.04\00:05:28.04
And they answered
the angels of the Lord
00:05:28.05\00:05:29.62
that stood among the
myrtle trees and said,
00:05:29.63\00:05:31.81
we have walked to
and fro through the earth
00:05:31.82\00:05:34.37
and behold all the earth
sitteth still and is at rest.
00:05:34.38\00:05:40.05
Then the angel the
Lord answered and said,
00:05:40.06\00:05:41.94
oh, Lord of hosts how
long with thou not have mercy
00:05:41.95\00:05:45.51
on Jerusalem and
on the cities of Judah
00:05:45.52\00:05:47.52
against which thou
hast had indignation
00:05:47.53\00:05:50.40
these three scores in 10 years.
00:05:50.41\00:05:53.22
And the Lord answered
the angel that talked with me
00:05:53.23\00:05:56.10
with good words
and comfortable words.
00:05:56.11\00:05:59.66
So the angel
that communed with me,
00:05:59.67\00:06:01.60
said unto to me
cry thou, saying,
00:06:01.61\00:06:04.30
thus saith the Lord of hosts,
I am jealous for Jerusalem
00:06:04.31\00:06:08.03
and for Zion
with a great jealousy.
00:06:08.04\00:06:11.27
And I am very sore displeased
00:06:11.28\00:06:13.08
with the
heathen that are at ease
00:06:13.09\00:06:15.28
for I was but a
little displeased,
00:06:15.29\00:06:17.72
and they helped
forward the affliction.
00:06:17.73\00:06:21.57
Therefore thus saith the Lord,
00:06:21.58\00:06:23.20
I am returned to
Jerusalem with mercies
00:06:23.21\00:06:26.64
my house shall be built in
it, saith the Lord of hosts,
00:06:26.65\00:06:30.05
and a line shall be
stretched forth upon Jerusalem.
00:06:30.06\00:06:33.43
Cry yet, saying, thus
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:06:33.44\00:06:36.82
My cities through prosperity
shall yet be spread abroad
00:06:36.83\00:06:41.22
and the Lord
shall yet comfort Zion,
00:06:41.23\00:06:44.08
and shall yet choose Jerusalem.
00:06:44.09\00:06:46.80
Then lifted I up mine eyes,
00:06:48.14\00:06:50.64
and saw, and behold four horns.
00:06:50.65\00:06:54.39
And I said unto the
angel that talked with me,
00:06:54.40\00:06:57.07
what be these?
And he answered me,
00:06:57.08\00:07:00.72
these are the horns
which have scattered
00:07:00.73\00:07:02.54
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
00:07:02.55\00:07:05.90
And the Lord
showed me four carpenters.
00:07:05.91\00:07:08.59
Then said I,
what come these to do?
00:07:08.60\00:07:12.76
And he spake,
saying, these are the horns
00:07:12.77\00:07:15.56
which have scattered Judah,
00:07:15.57\00:07:17.09
so that no man
did lift up his head,
00:07:17.10\00:07:20.06
but these are come to fray them,
00:07:20.07\00:07:22.66
to cast out the
horns of the Gentiles,
00:07:22.67\00:07:24.88
which lifted up their horn
00:07:24.89\00:07:26.58
over the land of
Judah to scatter."
00:07:26.59\00:07:29.14
Continuing in
Zechariah Chapter 2,
00:07:30.32\00:07:33.33
and this is the
King James Version.
00:07:33.34\00:07:35.15
"I lifted up mine
eyes again, and looked,
00:07:36.49\00:07:39.81
and behold a man with a
measuring line in his hand.
00:07:39.82\00:07:42.55
Then said I, whither goest thou?
00:07:42.56\00:07:45.20
And he said unto me,
to measure Jerusalem,
00:07:45.21\00:07:48.09
to see what is
the breadth thereof,
00:07:48.10\00:07:49.94
and what is the length thereof.
00:07:49.95\00:07:52.18
Behold, the angel that
talked with me went forth,
00:07:52.19\00:07:55.28
and another angel
went out to meet him.
00:07:55.29\00:07:56.82
And said unto him, Run,
speak to this young man,
00:07:56.83\00:07:59.54
saying, Jerusalem
shall be inhabited
00:07:59.55\00:08:02.05
as towns without walls
for the multitude of men
00:08:02.06\00:08:05.30
and cattle therein,
for I, saith the Lord,
00:08:05.31\00:08:08.85
will be unto her a
wall of fire round about,
00:08:08.86\00:08:13.69
and will be the
glory in the midst of her.
00:08:13.70\00:08:16.35
Ho, ho, come forth, and
flee from the land of the north,
00:08:17.66\00:08:21.89
saith the Lord for I
have spread you abroad
00:08:21.90\00:08:24.62
as the four winds of
the heaven, saith the Lord.
00:08:24.63\00:08:27.14
Deliver thyself, O Zion,
00:08:27.15\00:08:28.82
that dwellest with
the daughter of Babylon.
00:08:28.83\00:08:31.07
For thus saith
the Lord of hosts,
00:08:31.08\00:08:33.45
after the glory hath he sent me
00:08:33.46\00:08:35.57
unto the nations
which spoiled you
00:08:35.58\00:08:37.83
for he that toucheth you
toucheth the apple of his eye.
00:08:37.84\00:08:42.51
For, behold, I will
shake mine hand upon them,
00:08:43.67\00:08:46.08
and they shall be a
spoil to their servants.
00:08:46.09\00:08:49.28
And ye shall know that the
Lord of hosts hath sent me.
00:08:49.29\00:08:54.10
Sing and rejoice,
O daughter of Zion,
00:08:54.11\00:08:57.37
for lo, I come, and I will dwell
00:08:57.38\00:09:00.02
in the midst of
thee, saith the Lord.
00:09:00.03\00:09:02.61
And many nations shall be
joined to the Lord in that day
00:09:02.62\00:09:06.24
and shall be my people
00:09:06.25\00:09:08.12
and I will dwell
in the midst of thee,
00:09:08.13\00:09:09.83
and thou shalt know
that the Lord of hosts
00:09:09.84\00:09:12.43
hath sent me unto thee.
00:09:12.44\00:09:14.51
And the Lord shall inherit
00:09:14.52\00:09:16.01
Judah his
portion in the holy land,
00:09:16.02\00:09:18.16
and shall
choose Jerusalem again.
00:09:18.17\00:09:21.36
Be silent, O all
flesh, before the Lord
00:09:21.37\00:09:25.11
for he is raised up out
of his holy habitation."
00:09:25.12\00:09:29.25
Continuing in
Zechariah Chapter 3,
00:09:30.40\00:09:33.03
and this is the
King James Version.
00:09:33.04\00:09:34.76
"And he showed me
Joshua the high priest
00:09:36.01\00:09:38.41
standing before
the angel of the Lord,
00:09:38.42\00:09:41.02
and Satan standing at
his right hand to resist him.
00:09:41.03\00:09:46.60
And the Lord said unto Satan,
the Lord rebuke thee, O Satan
00:09:46.61\00:09:51.71
even the Lord that
hath chosen Jerusalem
00:09:51.72\00:09:54.65
rebuke thee is not this a brand
00:09:54.66\00:09:58.30
plucked out of the fire?
00:09:58.31\00:10:00.10
Now Joshua was
clothed with filthy garments,
00:10:01.16\00:10:04.35
and stood before the angel.
00:10:04.36\00:10:06.60
And he answered
and spake unto those
00:10:06.61\00:10:08.71
that stood before him, saying,
00:10:08.72\00:10:10.53
take away the
filthy garments from him.
00:10:10.54\00:10:12.80
And unto him he said, behold,
00:10:12.81\00:10:14.57
I have caused thine
iniquity to pass from thee,
00:10:14.58\00:10:19.16
and I will clothe thee
with change of raiment.
00:10:19.17\00:10:23.53
And I said, let them set
a fair mitre upon his head.
00:10:23.54\00:10:26.35
So they set a fair
mitre upon his head,
00:10:26.36\00:10:28.44
and clothed him with garments.
00:10:28.45\00:10:30.34
And the angel of
the Lord stood by.
00:10:30.35\00:10:32.54
And the angel of the
Lord protested unto Joshua,
00:10:33.35\00:10:36.11
saying, thus
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:10:36.12\00:10:39.08
If thou wilt walk in my ways,
00:10:39.09\00:10:42.01
and if thou wilt keep my charge,
00:10:42.02\00:10:44.65
then thou shalt
also judge my house,
00:10:44.66\00:10:47.48
and shalt also keep my courts,
00:10:47.49\00:10:49.96
and I will give
thee places to walk
00:10:49.97\00:10:51.93
among these that stand by.
00:10:51.94\00:10:54.99
Hear now, O
Joshua the high priest,
00:10:55.00\00:10:57.83
thou, and thy
fellows that sit before thee
00:10:57.84\00:11:02.13
for they are men
wondered at for behold,
00:11:02.14\00:11:05.66
I will bring forth
my servant the branch.
00:11:05.67\00:11:10.42
For behold the stone that
I have laid before Joshua,
00:11:10.43\00:11:13.68
upon one stone shall
be seven eyes behold,
00:11:13.69\00:11:17.35
I will engrave
the graving thereof,
00:11:17.36\00:11:20.50
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:11:20.51\00:11:22.57
and I will remove the iniquity
of that land in one day.
00:11:22.58\00:11:26.81
In that day,
saith the Lord of hosts,
00:11:26.82\00:11:28.72
shall ye call
every man his neighbour
00:11:28.73\00:11:30.69
under the vine and
under the fig tree."
00:11:30.70\00:11:34.47
Continuing with
Zechariah Chapter 4,
00:11:34.48\00:11:37.10
and this is the
King James Version.
00:11:37.11\00:11:38.76
"And the angel that
talked with me came again,
00:11:40.34\00:11:43.39
and waked me, as a man that
is wakened out of his sleep.
00:11:43.40\00:11:47.22
And said unto
me, what seest thou?
00:11:47.23\00:11:50.03
And I said, I have
looked, and behold a candlestick
00:11:51.07\00:11:55.68
all of gold, with a
bowl upon the top of it,
00:11:55.69\00:11:59.80
and his seven lamps
thereon, and seven pipes
00:11:59.81\00:12:02.87
to the seven lamps which
are upon the top thereof.
00:12:02.88\00:12:06.83
And two olive trees by it,
00:12:06.84\00:12:08.69
one upon the
right side of the bowl,
00:12:08.70\00:12:10.35
and the other upon
the left side thereof.
00:12:10.36\00:12:13.29
So I answered and
spake to the angel
00:12:13.30\00:12:15.61
that talked with me,
saying, what are these, my Lord?
00:12:15.62\00:12:18.99
Then the angel that
talked with me answered
00:12:19.95\00:12:21.92
and said unto me,
knowest thou not what these be?
00:12:21.93\00:12:26.57
And I said, no, my Lord.
00:12:26.58\00:12:29.49
Then he answered and
spake unto me, saying,
00:12:29.50\00:12:32.34
this is the Word of the
Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying,
00:12:32.35\00:12:36.46
not by might, nor by power,
00:12:36.47\00:12:40.44
but by my spirit,
saith the Lord of hosts.
00:12:40.45\00:12:44.63
Who art thou, O great mountain?
00:12:44.64\00:12:47.63
Before Zerubbabel
thou shalt become a plain
00:12:47.64\00:12:50.44
and he shall bring
forth the headstone thereof
00:12:50.45\00:12:53.29
with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it.
00:12:53.30\00:12:59.57
Moreover the word of the
Lord came unto me, saying,
00:12:59.58\00:13:02.16
the hands of Zerubbabel
have laid the foundation
00:13:02.17\00:13:04.95
of this house, his
hands shall also finish it,
00:13:04.96\00:13:08.54
and thou shalt know
that the Lord of hosts
00:13:09.24\00:13:12.32
hath sent me unto you.
00:13:12.33\00:13:14.82
For who hath despised
the day of small things?
00:13:14.83\00:13:18.82
For they shall rejoice,
and shall see the plummet
00:13:18.83\00:13:21.82
in the hand of
Zerubbabel with those seven,
00:13:21.83\00:13:24.56
they are the eyes of the
Lord, which run to and fro
00:13:24.57\00:13:28.04
through the whole earth.
00:13:28.05\00:13:30.30
Then answered I,
and said unto him,
00:13:30.31\00:13:32.38
what are these two olive
trees upon the right side
00:13:32.39\00:13:35.28
of the candlestick and
upon the left side thereof?
00:13:35.29\00:13:38.99
And I answered
again, and said unto him,
00:13:39.00\00:13:40.75
what be these two olive branches
00:13:40.76\00:13:43.28
which through the two golden
pipes empty the golden oil
00:13:43.29\00:13:47.12
out of themselves?
00:13:47.13\00:13:48.78
And he answered me and said,
00:13:49.51\00:13:51.17
knowest thou not what these be?
00:13:51.18\00:13:53.66
and I said, no, my Lord.
00:13:53.67\00:13:56.75
Then said he, these
are the two anointed ones,
00:13:56.76\00:14:00.20
that stand by the
Lord of the whole earth."
00:14:00.21\00:14:04.64
Continuing in
Zechariah Chapter 5.
00:14:04.65\00:14:07.91
"Then I turned, and
lifted up mine eyes,
00:14:07.92\00:14:10.82
and looked, and
behold a flying roll.
00:14:10.83\00:14:14.91
And he said unto
me, what seest thou?
00:14:14.92\00:14:17.96
And I answered, I
see a flying roll,
00:14:17.97\00:14:21.38
the length
thereof is twenty cubits,
00:14:21.39\00:14:23.95
and the breadth
thereof ten cubits.
00:14:23.96\00:14:26.79
Then said he unto
me, this is the curse
00:14:26.80\00:14:29.51
that goeth forth over
the face of the whole earth,
00:14:29.52\00:14:32.10
for every one that
stealeth shall be cut off
00:14:32.11\00:14:34.94
as on this side
according to it."
00:14:34.95\00:14:38.10
Goodbye.
