The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Generally applied to Messiah in Targum and Midrashim — the great mountain
This lesson explores how Zechariah 4:7 connects to Jesus.
What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground.
Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.
The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah • Appendix IX
Generally applied to Messiah in Targum and Midrashim — the great mountain
Zechariah declared that mountains would flatten before God's chosen servant. Jesus taught that faith moves mountains — the same divine power that levels obstacles works through those who trust Him.
Lord Jesus, shape my daily life after Your ministry. As Zechariah 4:7 meets Matthew 21:21, teach me to serve with compassion and truth.
