The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Zechariah 8:7-8, 16-17, “Thus says the LORD of hosts, ‘Behold, I am going to save My people from the land of the east and from the land of the west;
8 and I will bring them back and they will live in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God in truth and righteousness.’
16 “These are the things which you should do: speak the truth to one another; judge with truth and judgment for peace in your gates.
17 ‘Also let none of you devise evil in your heart against another, and do not love perjury; for all these are what I hate,’ declares the LORD.”

The theme of the Book of Zechariah is “God’s Love and Care for His People.” The book itself was written about 520-518 B.C. So, if you were born in A.D.1948, you entered this physical world along with the fulfillment of one of the most exciting prophecies in world history! The first two verses above (vv. 7-8) were God’s promise to the nation of Israel; and it was fulfilled in 1948 when Israel officially became a nation.

When the LORD makes a promise, He fulfills it! His will cannot be broken and He possesses the necessary power to bring it to pass. The Jewish nation was prophesied to settle in Israel, and so they did!

At the same time, the LORD gave prophetic instruction that His people were to “speak truth to one another” in their daily dealings, as well as in legal procedures when legal judgments were necessary. Nor were the people to devise evil to exercise against their fellowmen.

The LORD’s promises are sure and certain. What He promises in Scripture, He fulfilles, giving us assurance that all of His promises, even those yet to be fulfilled, will indeed be fulfilled in His appointed time. Stay in the Word! Trust and claim His promises for yourself. He does all things exceedingly well.

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
