Zech 1:20–21

1:20
Next the Lord showed me four blacksmiths.
21
I asked, “What are these going to do?” He answered, “These horns are the
ones that have scattered Judah so that there is no one to be seen. But the
blacksmiths have come to terrify Judah’s enemies and cut off the horns of
the nations that have thrust themselves against the land of Judah in order
to scatter its people.”

One thought:

Only one empire will stand forever.

Three questions:

Who might these blacksmiths be (see yesterdays timeline link)?

Do you look forward to God’s future kingdom?

Pray for peace across various conflicts in our time

Prayer:

Praise God that history is not out of control, but all according to His plans and under His power. Give thanks that He has a wonderful future kingdom for all those who trust in Him. Ask God to help you + someone else look forward to His future kingdom where peace and love reign.
