Man of Vision (38 of 66)
Series: Route 66, A Roadtrip Through the Bible
Tony Thomas
Zechariah
Jules Verne was a French novelist who is best known for his adventure novels. He was trained by his father to be a lawyer, but he hated that profession. Verne wanted to write, and he became one of the greatest futuristic novelists of the eighteenth century.
After Shakespeare, he is the second most translated author ever, and several of his books became movies, including: The Journey to the Center of the Earth, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in 80 Days, and From the Earth to the Moon.
Have you ever seen From the Earth to the Moon? The book was written in 1865, and the movie was released in 1958 (it is simplistic and accurate). But, 104 years later, Neil Armstrong became the first man on the moon!
Proverbs 29:18, ''Where there is no vision, the people perish.'' It is a leader's job to cast a vision. It is a leader's responsibility to paint an image of a preferable future.
We're in a series called Route 66, and we're taking a Roadtrip Through the Bible. We'll conclude the Old Testament next Sunday with Malachi. Today we're in Zechariah, and Zechariah is the Jules Verne of the Old Testament (there are more Messianic prophesies in Zechariah than anyone of the other prophetic writers).
Zechariah is the longest of the Minor Prophets (14 chapters). I'd like to divide his prophecy into four areas: his leadership, his visions, his book, and his lessons.
I. Zechariah's Leadership
When Judah's economy tanked, when their moral values had been dismissed, when the nation floundered and lost its way God called Zechariah and Haggai to bring their nation back into alignment with his will. This task would have been impossible without Haggai and Zechariah.
Like Zechariah and Haggai, our Presidents are as different as night and day. George Washington was an elegant Englishman while Abraham Lincoln was a backwoods story teller. Lyndon Johnson was ...
