Well, if you have your Bible, please turn to Zechariah chapter 9. Zechariah - we started this book at the beginning of the year. We've been going through it verse by verse. It's not an easy book. I remember when I told Chris I was going through Zechariah on Wednesday night, and he said, "Why?" And he's read Zechariah, and it's very difficult. Zechariah is apocalyptic.

And as we read in chapter 9, he puts them very close together. You know, Isaiah does the same thing. We talk about, at Christmastime, "Behold, a child will be born to us, a son will be given to u ...
