About this episode
Tim Rowe discusses various theological questions related to Zechariah 1.
"Why does God say v3 'return to me and I'll return to you' if He intends to return to them before they return to Him?" "I think it's cool that vs16 God says he has returned even though the temple wasn't rebuilt. So was the temple truly symbolic as his dwelling place? Where is God dwelling then?" "Where do we get the idea that the Angel of the LORD, while being seen to be God, is in some way distinct from God? Is it reading too much into the OT to say that the Angel of the LORD is the pre-incarnate Jesus?" "Is the angel of the LORD distinct from God the Farther, Son and Spirit? If so how are they related?" "What is the measuring line in Zech 1:16? When it is used in other prophets, it is often used as an image for God's judgement, but hasn't God's judgement already fallen on Israel in the exile?" "Was the vision in part prophetic to Jesus? (as a carpenter)" "Is there a connection between the carpenters in Ezra 3, Zechariah 1, and Jesus being a carpenter?" "I don't understand the 4 craftsmen images?” "Is repentance a once off thing or something we need to keep doing as Christians?"
