Best Zechariah Poems
The Argument has always been,
Who gets to decide what is right?
You think yourself a Sovereign?
Let's examine the Erudite!
"Man should make the sovereign choice,"
The Erudite Scholar will say,
"Unaided by an imagined Voice,
No Crutch to get in his way."
But, alas, the Erudite dies,
And, God's predictions come true,
And, truth that is mixed with lies
Will not solve man's deepest issues.
God's word was made to outlive all,
Yet Satan arrays against it.
He brings with him a captive thrall:
Deceived, depraved, unrepentant.
"Reason demands we must oppose.
We cannot accept His burden."
Truth is spewed into vomit flows
And the Devil's Puke is Chosen.
"Nothing is beyond man's power.
Ignore this god altogether.
There is no god, do not cower.
Our freedoms demand no tether."
"The Nations had better listen.
For My choices will always stand.
Jerusalem and Israel -
Will forever bear My brand.
I give you space, and I give you grace,
For repentance and salvation,
But, opposing Me to my face,
And, I give you ruination.
My rage will be unquenchable,
For Satan and the Nations,
My Messiah, insatiable,
Heaven's armies at their stations.
Once again I will validate,
My choices, My Messiah.
You know this because you have read,
The Book of Zechariah."
The prophet Zechariah foretold
Jesus or Father Christ would be sold for 30 pieces of silver
The attributes of God are innumerable
they are indeed without number
nothing is too much for our God
who never sleeps nor will slumber
So the Lord calls His people
even with the sound of whistle
whistling through His wind
as effective as any Pauline epistle
For in God's redemption plan
an ingathering is on His agenda
to bring His people back in
for they are His no matter their gender
God's great love for His own
who are His redeemed elect
His purpose to rescue them
caused them to be in His debt
Divine purpose had a hand
in bringing those to be
equal number as were before
brought by God's grace so free
Next time you hear a whistle
remind yourself it's the divine origin
that through it came eternal redemption
such is God's victory over sin
AUTHOR NOTES:
“I will whistle for them and gather them in,
for I have redeemed them,
and they shall be as many as they were before."
Zechariah ch 10 v. 8 (ESV)
The Lord is our mighty God
He stands up for us against Satan
he is the arch-enemy of all time
but His angel is our mighty nation
Like Joshua, we've filthy garments
the Lord's angel looks at our tents
removes them in an instant
putting on new pure vestments
Joshua then received assurance
from the angel of the Lord
who stood by him there
such sweet peace to afford
Then Joshua was challenged
to keep charge of God's ways
for if he did, a branch would appear
so important to do what He says
The key lesson here to learn
God's ways are always best
no matter what we may think
trust and obey sealed on your nest
(Zechariah 3: 1-10 (ESV)
Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.
And the angel of the Lord solemnly assured Joshua, “Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who sit before you, for they are men who are a sign: behold, I will bring my servant the Branch. For behold, on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven eyes, I will engrave its inscription, declares the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day. In that day, declares the Lord of hosts, every one of you will invite his neighbor to come under his vine and under his fig tree.” )

In My Bible had not feared An Angel;
If he got the chance would put one in jail
Hadn’t they been A Group he once headed
And why would he judge his powers faded?
One could again charge at whom one had ruled
And not at all think one had oneself fooled…
Any surprise he’d accosted Michael
In Jude ready with him to go to Hell;
Over Dead Moses stating ownership
A catch-up speed with Michael’s Airship
From Armed Michael, still “The Lord rebukes thee”
No entry into sword fights; “Just flee!”
“Or else Lord God you dread and dodge you’ll meet
And he shan’t fail to you make a mincemeat!”
The same we see in Zechariah,
Satan, A Volunteering Crier
Against Joshua, High Priest of Obvious Sin
Ignoring present Angels Fat and Thin
Himself positioning for Attack
On Joshua with Spiritual Lack
And then God’s “I rebuke thee” from heaven
And Satan’s legs became wings of raven.
Here we have the confrontation of good and evil
the angel of the Lord confronts Satan set to accuse
this is the battle of spiritual reality way up high
God the powerful determined never to lose
Here in Joshua is a picture of all believers
showing Satan set to take us to his own
but the angel of the Lord ready to protect us
for God's promised to keep His own flesh and bone
The Lord challenged Satan to his face
for he knew his plan to do his attack
but God rebuked him for his people's sake
a brand plucked from the fire no lack
His people's filthy garments he removed
telling them they're clean now made pure
just as Jesus took away our sin
dying in our place for a spiritual cure
The angel placed a clean turban
on his head with clothes to truly fit
now the believer is in Christ within
clothed in perfect righteousness having no sin
Zechariah 3: 1-5 (esv)
(Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a] standing at his right hand to accuse him. And the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand[b] plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments. And the angel said to those who were standing before him, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.” And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord was standing by.)
