CREAMED COMMENTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, GOD’S PROMISE OP PEACE. Zechariah 7:8-12; 8:44,12,13, for Sunday. September 20. Zechariah uttered the words of prophesy indicated in this lesson about 517 B.C. when he and the stronger of the Hebrew people were allowed to leave their exile in ,* Babylon and return to Jerusalem. They found Jerusalem in a state of desolation and, to strengthen their morale. Jeremiah urged them to rebuild the temple that had been destroyed and restore the city.

who had come to seek his counsel ' regarding keeping a certain fast. The purpose of the lesson is to help us realize that true security is always based on righteous living. Vs. 8-10. “And the word of the Lord came unto Zechariah, saying, ~ .Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Execute true judgment .and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: . . . And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah felt as did al the prophets that the words he spoke were not his own but those of God speaking through him. When the spirit of the law was forgotten and mere formal religious rites resulted, the prophets felt the need of reminding the people that God is interested, not in rituals, but in ethical living, turning from heartless legalism to mercy, and from coldness to compassion. Vs. 11,12. "But they refused to hearken, and pulled away the shoulder, and stopped their ears, that they should not hear... Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant stone, lest they should hear the law, and the words which the Lord of hosts hath sent in his spirit by the former prophets: therefore came a great wrath from the Txird of hosts.” Zechariah reminds the people of their willful rejection of the words of the prophets in earlier times. Their stopping their ears was an insult to God and the prophets. The result of their rejection of the prophets was the overthrow of both North Israel and Judah and the captivity of the people. Vs. 4-6. "Thus saith the Lord of Hosts; There shall yet old men and old women dwell in the streets of Jerusalem, and every man with his staff in his hand for very age . . . And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in the streets thereof. . . Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If it be marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, should it also be marvelous in mine eyes? saith the Lord of hosts.” Only the physically strong were able to make the long journey back from exile so there were no old people or children. The prophet envisions a time when the city will be normal again with happy, playing children and old people living to a ripe old age. In the ideal city the prophet envisions the greatness of a city is determined not by its size or its buildings but in the happiness of its people, old and young. Such a dream can be realized through the power of God. Vs. 7,8. “Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will save my people from the east country, and from the west country;. ~ And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.” The east country may refer to Babylon and the west to Egypt. This gathering together is in contrast with the former dispersion of the Hebrews. The blessedness of the new era described is based on the fact that God will deal truly and righteously with them, but they must deal truly and righteously with God. God will be faithful if they will be righteous. The prophesy's fulfillment is seen today in the establishment of the nation of Israeli. UNITED BRETHREN IN CHRIST Nuttman Ave. Wayne A. Smith, Minister Sunday School, 9:30 a. m. Lawrence Michel, superintendent. Sunday School for all ages.
