THE MESSAGE

Zechariah 5

Sixth Vision: The Flying Book

1 I looked up again and saw—surprise!—a book on the wing! A book flying!

2 The Messenger-Angel said to me, "What do you see now?"

I said, "I see a book flying, a huge book—thirty feet long and fifteen wide!"3-4 He told me, "This book is the verdict going out worldwide against thieves and liars. The first half of the book disposes of everyone who steals; the second half takes care of everyone who lies. I launched it"—Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies—"and so it will fly into the house of every thief and every liar. It will land in each house and tear it down, timbers and stones."

Seventh Vision: A Woman in a Basket

5 The Messenger-Angel appeared and said, "Look up. Tell me what you see."

6 I said, "What in the world is that?"

He said, "This is a bushel basket on a journey. It holds the sin of everyone, everywhere."

7 Then the lid made of lead was removed from the basket—and there was a woman sitting in it!

8 He said, "This is Miss Wicked." He pushed her back down into the basket and clamped the lead lid over her.

9 Then I looked up and to my surprise saw two women flying. On outstretched wings they airlifted the bushel basket into the sky.

10 I said to the Messenger-Angel, "Where are they taking the bushel basket?"

11 He said, "East to the land of Shinar. They will build a garage to house it. When it's finished, the basket will be stored there."
