The Voice of the Prophets
Echoes of Christ from Isaiah to Malachi — A Kingdom Unveiled Before Its Time
by Carl Timothy Wray
INTRODUCTION: A Kingdom Hidden in the Scrolls
Before Jesus walked the hills of Galilee or turned the tables in the temple…
Before the Word became flesh and dwelt among us…
He was already speaking.
Not just through thunder from Sinai or fire from the bush —
But through the prophets of old, whose lives and scrolls became living previews of the Son.
From Isaiah’s throne room vision to Daniel’s sealed scrolls,
From Jeremiah’s weeping lament to Zechariah’s crowned priest,
Christ was there. In shadow, symbol, fire, and whisper — He was always the message.
“To Him give all the prophets witness…” (Acts 10:43)
“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)
“Beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded to them the things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:27)
This book is a prophetic unveiling — a journey through the scrolls of the Old Testament, not to see history, but to see Him.
You will walk into Isaiah’s fire, hear Ezekiel’s wheels turn, feel Jeremiah’s heart break, and stand in Daniel’s visions of glory — all to discover the Son who was always hidden in the scroll, but now revealed in you.
This is not just Bible study.
This is a Kingdom awakening.
Because the same voice that spoke through the prophets… is now sounding in Zion.
Come and hear The Voice of the Prophets —
They all spoke of Christ. Chapter 1
The Prophetic Witness of Christ
“To Him give all the prophets witness…” (Acts 10:43)
Before Christ was born in a manger, He was already moving through the ages — His voice echoing through the lips of the prophets. He is not a New Testament invention. He is the Ancient Word spoken before time, seen in vision, declared in symbol, and prophesied by men who bore the fire of heaven within their bones.
“The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” (Revelation 19:10)
Every prophet — whether weeping like Jeremiah, beholding glory like Isaiah, or dreaming dreams like Daniel — was a witness to Christ. Their messages were not just historical; they were eternal glimpses into the nature, mission, and glory of the Son.
The Thread of Christ in Every Scroll
In the burning coal of Isaiah’s altar, we see the fire of cleansing from the Lamb.
In Ezekiel’s man of fire and wheel within a wheel, we behold the corporate Christ in motion.
In Jeremiah’s new covenant, we hear the whisper of grace written on hearts, not tablets.
In Daniel’s stone cut without hands, we see the Kingdom of the Manchild that shall never end.
In Hosea’s marriage to a harlot, we see Christ purchasing His bride with unfailing love.
These were not just stories. These were prophetic templates, blueprints of a deeper reality that would later be unveiled in the Person of Jesus — and now revealed again in His sons.
Jesus Opened the Scrolls
“And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, He expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself.” (Luke 24:27)
After His resurrection, Jesus didn’t point to miracles or empty tombs to prove who He was. He opened the prophets’ scrolls — because they already testified of Him.
This means the true unveiling of Christ has always been hidden in the prophets. Their words were like sealed scrolls waiting for a generation to whom the mysteries would be revealed — not just as head knowledge, but as living experience.
A Voice Crying Out… Again
Today, the Spirit of prophecy is rising again — not in isolated voices, but in a company of sons who hear what the prophets heard and speak what the prophets saw.
Isaiah’s fire is in their bones.
Ezekiel’s glory is in their eyes.
Daniel’s vision is in their mouth.
And Jesus is in their midst.
They are not quoting the prophets — they are becoming the message. For the voice of the prophets has not ceased… it has multiplied in the body of Christ. The Scroll Is Opened in You
As we begin this journey through the ancient scrolls, ask not just, “What did Isaiah see?”
Ask: “What is the Spirit now revealing in me?”
For the Christ the prophets saw is no longer veiled.
He is being revealed in His elect, and the time has come to declare:
The voice of the prophets is the voice of the Son. Chapter 2
Isaiah — The King, the Servant, and the Glory Revealed
“In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw also the Lord…” (Isaiah 6:1)
If ever there was a prophet who saw the fullness of Christ — from His suffering to His reigning — it was Isaiah. Called the “fifth gospel,” his scroll unveils a vision of the eternal Son unlike any other. Isaiah doesn’t just prophesy about the Messiah — he walks through the womb of a virgin, the path of sorrows, and the throne of glory. His visions lift the veil from time and allow us to behold the Lamb in every phase of redemption. The Throne Room Encounter — The Exalted King
Isaiah 6 is the moment everything changes. The prophet sees the Lord:
“High and lifted up, and His train filled the temple… and the whole earth is full of His glory.”
— Isaiah 6:1–3
This is not just the Father — this is the pre-incarnate Christ in glory (John 12:41). Before Jesus ever put on flesh, He sat upon a throne, surrounded by burning seraphim crying “Holy!”
His glory fills the temple — pointing to the true temple: His body, His Church.
The burning coal that touches Isaiah’s lips is the living word, the purging fire of Christ.
The call — “Who will go for Us?” — echoes the eternal sending of the Son.
Isaiah was branded by glory — and now begins to reveal the Christ he saw.
The Suffering Servant — Pierced for Our Transgressions
Isaiah 53 is the holy ground of the cross.
Here we meet the Lamb, despised, rejected, bearing grief, carrying sorrows:
“He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities…”
— Isaiah 53:5
No prophet saw Calvary more clearly. Isaiah saw…
A man of sorrows, acquainted with grief — yet full of purpose.
A substitute, standing in the gap — yet misunderstood by all.
A sacrifice, silent before His shearers — yet accomplishing eternal redemption.
This is the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world, now unveiled through Isaiah’s pen.
The Child Born — The Government on His Shoulders
“Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given…” (Isaiah 9:6)
The child is born in time, but the Son is given from eternity.
And this Son will carry the government of the Kingdom — not someday, but now.
He is Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of His government and peace, there shall be no end.
He reigns on the throne of David, fulfilled in the Spirit — not in natural Jerusalem, but in Zion above.
Isaiah doesn’t preach a delayed Kingdom — he declares the eternal increase of Christ’s rule, beginning in the heart and reaching the ends of the earth. The Glory to Come — A Highway of Holiness
Isaiah sees beyond the cross — to resurrection, restoration, and Zion’s awakening.
“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you…” (Isaiah 60:1)
He speaks of:
A new creation where wolves dwell with lambs
A highway of holiness where no beast walks
A redeemed people, crowned with joy, returning to Zion
A burning city, not destroyed, but purified — filled with righteousness
Isaiah sees the full redemptive cycle — from sin to sanctification, from death to glory. Isaiah’s Voice Now Sounds in Zion
Isaiah’s words weren’t just for Israel — they were echoes of Christ meant to be fulfilled in His Body, the elect company now arising in this final hour.
The King is still exalted.
The Lamb is still interceding.
The government is still on His shoulders.
And the glory still fills the temple — in you.
Isaiah’s scroll is open again — and the voice that cried in the wilderness is now crying in Zion.
This is the Christ Isaiah saw.
And this is the Christ being revealed in His sons. Chapter 3
Jeremiah — The Weeping Prophet and the New Covenant
“I will make a new covenant… I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts…” (Jeremiah 31:31–33)
Jeremiah was not just a prophet — he was a symbol of Christ’s heart.
He carried the burden of a broken covenant and the hope of a new one. His tears were not weakness — they were the compassion of the Lamb expressed in a man who felt the grief of God.
Where others called down fire, Jeremiah poured out weeping. Where others spoke thunder, he whispered promises. He is the prophet who felt what Christ would one day carry in full: the pain of a rebellious people, and the longing for a new heart within them.
A Prophet of Tears — A Shadow of Christ’s Compassion
“Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears…” (Jeremiah 9:1)
Jeremiah’s anguish reveals more than emotion — it reveals the wounded love of God. He weeps over Jerusalem like Jesus would generations later.
His groaning mirrors Christ in Gethsemane.
His rejection by his people mirrors Jesus at the cross.
His fire shut up in his bones (Jer. 20:9) mirrors the unquenchable Word of the Son.
Jeremiah carried the heart of Christ before it was seen on earth. A Burning Word — Fire in His Bones
“His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones…” (Jer. 20:9)
He didn’t choose this message. It chose him.
Just like the Son, Jeremiah was sent with a mission that would cost him everything.
His words were like fire — rejected by the carnal, received by the hungry.
He was beaten, imprisoned, mocked — yet he could not be silenced.
He embodied the prophetic spirit of Christ in conflict with religion.
His ministry reminds us that the Word of the Lord is not always popular, but it is always powerful. The New Covenant — Christ Written Within
“This is the covenant that I will make… I will write it in their hearts…” (Jer. 31:33)
Here, Jeremiah prophesies the New Covenant — not of tablets, rituals, or shadows — but of inward transformation.
The law of Moses could convict, but not change.
The law of Christ writes Himself within us — the Living Word etched in our spirit.
Jeremiah sees the day when man becomes the temple, and God lives within.
This is not just future prophecy — it is present reality for the sons of God.
The Potter and the Clay — A People Formed by Fire
“As the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are you in mine…” (Jer. 18:6)
Jeremiah’s trip to the potter’s house is no accident. It’s a prophetic picture of God forming a vessel of honor — one that may be marred, but is not discarded.
Christ is the Potter.
The Elect are the clay.
The fire is not to destroy — but to form a vessel fit for glory.
The Voice That Never Left
Though Jeremiah’s natural voice faded, the Spirit of the Prophet remains. The same Christ who wept through Jeremiah is now speaking again — in sons, in daughters, in overcomers who carry the message of a New Covenant sealed in the blood of Jesus and written on the hearts of His elect.
Christ is no longer outside the temple.
He IS the temple — and so are you.
Jeremiah revealed the Lamb’s tears and the Lion’s covenant.
He was a forerunner of what we now embody.
The fire he could not contain is now filling a body who cannot be silenced. Chapter 4
Ezekiel — The Glory Man and the River of Life
“I saw… visions of God.” (Ezekiel 1:1)
Ezekiel is not for the faint of heart. He saw fire, wheels, cherubim, and a throne in the heavens — and declared what few dared: the glory of the Lord had left the temple. But more than judgment, Ezekiel carried a prophetic unveiling of Christ in glory and the formation of a people who would become His dwelling place.
The scroll of Ezekiel moves from fire and exile to resurrection and rivers — a picture of Christ in His fullness being formed in a corporate Son. It is the blueprint of the New Man and the New Temple — Christ in you, the hope of glory. The Man of Fire — Christ in the Midst of the Storm
“I saw… a man in appearance like fire: from His loins upward, fire; and from His loins downward, fire…” (Ezekiel 1:27)
This is not just a vision of judgment — this is a vision of Christ in glory.
The fire speaks of holiness and transformation.
The storm and whirlwind speak of divine movement and shaking.
The man on the throne is the pre-incarnate Son of Man — the same title Jesus used for Himself.
Ezekiel is seeing Christ enthroned in the heavens — and moving in a corporate vehicle through the earth.
The Living Creatures and the Wheel Within a Wheel
Ezekiel’s vision continues with the living creatures — four-faced beings (lion, ox, man, eagle) moving in perfect unity with the wheel within a wheel.
The four faces reveal the fourfold nature of Christ:
Lion (King), 
Ox (Servant), 
Man (Son), 
Eagle (Spirit).
The wheels represent divine motion — God moving by His Spirit through a people full of eyes, full of discernment and glory.
This is not just angelic — it’s corporate. Ezekiel is seeing a company of people conformed to the image of the Son, moving as one body in glory.
The Glory Departs — And Returns to a New Temple
“And the glory of the Lord departed from off the threshold…” (Ezekiel 10:18)
“…and behold, the glory of the Lord came into the house…” (Ezekiel 43:4)
Ezekiel sees a heart-wrenching departure of glory — Ichabod. But he also sees the promise of a new dwelling place, not built by hands.
The old temple passes, and a new temple rises — a temple not made of stone, but of living stones.
The glory returns, not to a building, but to a body — the body of Christ.
Ezekiel’s temple is not a blueprint for a third temple in Jerusalem — it is a symbolic prophecy of Christ and His Body as the habitation of God. The River From the Throne — Life Flowing from Within
“Out from under the threshold of the house, water flowed…” (Ezekiel 47:1)
The vision ends with a river — flowing from the threshold of the temple, getting deeper, wider, stronger.
This river heals.
This river brings life to everything it touches.
This river is the Spirit of Christ, flowing from within His elect (John 7:38).
The Lamb is now on the throne, and the water of life flows from within us, bringing healing to the nations. The Pattern Man, The Corporate Christ
Ezekiel shows us not just what Christ looked like — but what we are becoming.
The man of fire is being formed in a body. The wheels, the glory, the river — they are now seen in the elect.
The Spirit is raising up a company like Ezekiel saw: A people full of fire
Full of eyes and revelation
Overflowing with rivers of living water Conformed to the Man on the throne
Christ is the Glory Man.
Christ is the River.
Christ is the Temple.
And now He is being revealed in His many-membered body. Chapter 5
Daniel — The Stone, the Kingdom, and the Son of Man
“The God of heaven shall set up a Kingdom, which shall never be destroyed…” (Daniel 2:44)
Daniel saw kingdoms rise and fall — Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome — but beyond all thrones of men, he saw a Kingdom not made with hands. In the midst of pagan kings and fiery trials, Daniel unveiled the coming dominion of Christ — not as a distant future event, but as a divine stone cut without hands, striking the systems of man and filling the whole earth.
Daniel reveals Christ as King, the overcomers as His government, and the Kingdom as a present reality that cannot be shaken. The Stone Cut Without Hands — Christ the Dominion of God
“A stone was cut out without hands… and it smote the image… and became a great mountain.” (Daniel 2:34–35)
In Nebuchadnezzar’s dream, a multi-metallic image represents world empires. But a Stone, untouched by human hands, smashes the feet and brings the whole image down.
This Stone is Christ — the unshakable foundation, the government of God manifest in the earth.
He is not formed by man — but cut out from God.
He doesn’t just topple empires — He fills the whole earth.
His Kingdom is not political — it’s spiritual authority manifested through a people.
This is the Kingdom Jesus preached: not future, but “at hand,” now expanding like a mountain across every realm. The Fiery Furnace — The Man in the Flame
“Did we not cast three men into the fire? Behold, I see four…” (Daniel 3:24–25)
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stand for faithful overcomers in the fire of persecution. And who appears with them?
“And the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.”
Even in Babylon’s furnace, Christ is present — not to rescue from trial, but to walk through it.
The fire doesn’t burn them — it burns off their bonds.
They don’t smell like smoke — they come out promoted in the Kingdom.
Daniel prophesies that Christ is not just coming from the sky, but walking through the fire in His people.
The Lion’s Den — Dominion in the Midst of Death
Daniel in the lion’s den reveals the righteous man preserved by divine authority.
He prays when threatened.
He’s cast into death.
But the lions’ mouths are shut.
Daniel is a type of Christ in the tomb — and also a type of the elect who walk in supernatural preservation, untouched by the roaring adversary (1 Peter 5:8).
God isn’t removing the trial — He’s revealing dominion within it. The Ancient of Days and the Son of Man
“Behold, one like the Son of Man came… and there was given Him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom…” (Daniel 7:13–14)
Daniel’s greatest vision is this: the Ancient of Days seated in fire and glory, and the Son of Man receiving an everlasting dominion.
This is Christ — the Son crowned with authority.
This is not future — it began at His ascension (Matthew 28:18).
And this dominion is shared with the saints:
“The saints of the Most High shall take the kingdom…” (Dan. 7:18)
This is the rising of the Manchild, the elect company, the stone becoming a mountain — Christ in you, ruling through you.
Seventy Weeks — The Timeline of Redemption
“Seventy weeks are determined… to finish the transgression, and to bring in everlasting righteousness…” (Daniel 9:24)
Daniel is shown the prophetic timeline that climaxes in the coming of Messiah and the destruction of the old city — a transition from natural Jerusalem to spiritual Zion.
Christ is the anointed one cut off (Daniel 9:26).
The sacrifice ceases because of His finished work.
The desolation of the temple leads to the emergence of a new one — you.
Daniel’s vision aligns with Paul, Peter, and John: the old passes, the new arises.
The Kingdom Is Here — And Growing in You
Daniel ends with this declaration:
“Many shall be purified… the wise shall understand… and they that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars forever.” (Daniel 12)
This is the reign of the overcomers.
The elect shall shine, walk in wisdom, and bring many into the Kingdom.
Daniel saw Christ as King.
He saw His government coming as a stone, rising as a mountain.
And he saw a people who would rule with Him —
not just in heaven, but on earth. Chapter 6
Hosea — The Redeeming Love of Christ
“I will betroth thee unto me forever… in lovingkindness and in mercies.” (Hosea 2:19)
Hosea was not just a prophet — he lived the message.
God commanded him to marry a woman of whoredoms, not to shame her, but to reveal His unrelenting covenant love.
In Hosea’s story, we don’t just see a broken marriage — we see the heart of Christ for a wandering bride.
A love that doesn’t quit.
A faithfulness that keeps reaching.
A redemption that swallows all rebellion.
This is the gospel before the gospel — a revelation of Calvary’s mercy, spoken through the heartache of a man who became a living sign.
A Marriage That Preached
“Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms… for the land hath committed great whoredom.” (Hosea 1:2)
Hosea’s marriage wasn’t a personal failure — it was a prophetic picture.
God was saying:
“I have a covenant with a people who continually run from Me — and I still choose to love them.”
Hosea represents Christ.
Gomer represents wayward Israel, and by extension, humanity’s fallen nature.
Their children are given names like “Not My People” and “No Mercy” — until God reverses the curse.
“I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people…” (Hosea 2:23)
This is redemption — calling beloved what was once rejected.
Love That Buys Back What Betrayed
“So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of silver…” (Hosea 3:2)
Gomer left Hosea and ended up on the auction block of slavery.
But Hosea finds her, purchases her, and brings her home — not as a servant, but as a wife.
This is Christ’s heart.
He doesn’t just forgive from a distance — He pays the price, steps into our ruin, and redeems us completely.
The cross is Hosea’s heart writ large:
Jesus bought us — while we were still far from Him.
“I Will Allure Her…” — Restoration Through the Wilderness
“I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.” (Hosea 2:14)
God doesn’t just drag the bride home — He woos her.
The wilderness becomes a place of intimacy, not punishment.
He doesn’t shame — He restores identity.
He speaks gently, not harshly — His correction is driven by affection.
This wilderness is where He removes the old names (No Mercy, Not My People) and gives her a new song.
The Prophetic Word: “Come, Let Us Return to the Lord”
“In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.” (Hosea 6:2)
Here we glimpse resurrection — not just of Christ, but of a people.
On the third day, He rose.
On the third day, we rise with Him — into new life, new covenant, new identity.
Hosea proclaims the mystery Paul would later declare: union with Christ in death and resurrection.
This is not about religion restored — it’s about relationship redeemed. Mercy, Not Sacrifice
“I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.” (Hosea 6:6)
Jesus quotes this verse in Matthew 9:13. Why?
Because Hosea revealed that God doesn’t want ritual — He wants love.
Religion offers performance.
The Kingdom offers relationship.
The voice of Hosea cuts through the noise of law, and whispers the Spirit of Grace.
This is the cry of Christ in the Gospels — and it began with Hosea.
From Harlot to Bride — The Final Word
The woman who once ran becomes the resting bride.
The names once cursed become covenant names.
The children once rejected become children of the promise.
“And I will betroth thee unto Me forever.” (Hosea 2:19)
This is not just Israel’s story. It’s ours.
We were Gomer — but now, we are the bride of the Lamb.
Loved… bought… transformed.
Hosea reveals the love that doesn’t let go.
He reveals Christ before the cross.
And he proves that no matter how far the bride has wandered,
Love will win her back. Chapter 7
Jonah — The Sign of Death, Burial, and Universal Mercy
“For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so shall the Son of Man be…” (Matthew 12:40)
Jesus called Jonah a sign — not just of rebellion or fear, but of His own death, burial, and resurrection.
Jonah’s story isn’t just about a prophet running — it’s about a God who runs after nations, a God who breaks boundaries, and a grace that reaches farther than any law ever could.
In Jonah, we find the pattern of Christ’s descent into death, the message of repentance to the nations, and the mercy of God that refuses to end at Israel’s borders.
A Prophet on the Run — Humanity’s Reluctant Voice
“But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the Lord…” (Jonah 1:3)
Jonah didn’t run because he feared Nineveh — he ran because he knew God would forgive them (Jonah 4:2).
He couldn’t understand a grace that extended to the enemies of Israel.
He represents our tendency to limit God’s mercy to those we think deserve it.
He reflects the early Church’s struggle to embrace Gentiles.
He prefigures Christ’s global salvation — breaking out of the old wineskin.
God was using Jonah to foreshadow a gospel for all people, even those who oppose Him. Thrown Into the Sea — The Descent into Death
“Take me up, and cast me forth into the sea…” (Jonah 1:12)
Jonah becomes a living type of Christ, willingly offering himself to save others from the storm.
He’s cast into the sea — the symbol of death and chaos.
He’s swallowed by a great fish — a tomb beneath the waters.
He remains there three days and nights — a shadow of the cross and grave.
This is the prophetic sign of Christ’s sacrifice — not just death, but a descent into the deep to bring salvation from the lowest place. Inside the Belly — A Prayer from the Depths
“Out of the belly of hell cried I… yet thou hast brought up my life from corruption…” (Jonah 2:2,6)
Jonah’s prayer from the fish is a resurrection cry.
He acknowledges death, but sees hope.
He’s buried, but not abandoned.
He discovers that mercy meets us in the depths, not just on the mountaintop.
Jesus points to Jonah as a picture of His own triumph over the grave — showing that even when all seems lost, God is moving in hidden places.
Preaching to Nineveh — Mercy for the Nations
“And Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried… ‘Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.’” (Jonah 3:4)
Jonah’s reluctant sermon becomes the spark of national repentance.
The entire city turns — from king to cattle.
God relents — not because of sacrifices, but because of broken hearts.
Jonah is angry — but God reveals His mercy knows no tribal limits.
Nineveh represents the Gentile world, and Jonah’s message was a prophetic seed of the gospel to come:
A Kingdom not just for Jews, but for every tongue, tribe, and nation. The Gourd and the Heart of God
“Should I not spare Nineveh, that great city…?” (Jonah 4:11)
Jonah sits under a plant for shade — then mourns its loss more than the city.
God uses this moment to expose the religious heart: more concerned with comfort than redemption.
God’s heart is not to destroy, but to redeem cities, to turn nations, to save those we think are beyond hope.
The gourd withers, but the message remains:
God is merciful to all, even those we think don’t qualify.
Jesus — The Greater Jonah
Jesus says:
“Behold, a greater than Jonah is here.” (Matthew 12:41)
Jonah ran — Jesus ran toward the cross.
Jonah wept over a plant — Jesus wept over Jerusalem.
Jonah stayed outside the city — Jesus entered it and gave His life.
Jonah saw mercy and grew angry — Jesus became mercy and gave everything.
The true Jonah is the Lamb — who descended into the grave and rose to preach mercy to all.
Jonah reveals a Christ who saves from the depths,
a God who turns whole nations,
and a Kingdom that refuses to draw lines around grace.
The sign of Jonah is not judgment — it is redemptive resurrection for the whole world. Chapter 8 Zechariah — The Branch, the Stone, and the Crowning of the Sons
“Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place…” (Zechariah 6:12)
Zechariah is a prophetic book overflowing with visions — horses, lamps, olive trees, flying scrolls — but beneath the symbols is one resounding message: the revelation of Christ and His Sons in glory.
Where Haggai built the temple, Zechariah unveiled the glory within it.
He foresaw not just a returning people, but a ruling priesthood, crowned with righteousness and filled with the Spirit.
He pointed to Jesus, not only as Savior — but as High Priest, King, Branch, and Stone.
The Branch — Christ Growing from the Dust
“Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH…” (Zech. 6:12)
Zechariah sees a man growing upward from a lowly place — a picture of Christ, rising out of Nazareth, springing up like a tender shoot (Isa. 53:2).
The Branch is God’s servant (Zech. 3:8) — humble, obedient.
The Branch is royal — building the true temple, not with hands.
The Branch is also corporate — for every branch springs from the Vine.
This is Christ and His Body — the overcomers who grow from obscurity into dominion.
The Stone With Seven Eyes — Fullness of the Spirit
“Upon one stone shall be seven eyes…” (Zech. 3:9)
This is not just a rock — it’s a revelation:
The stone is Christ — the foundation of Zion.
The seven eyes are the fullness of the Spirit (Rev. 5:6), the complete vision of the Lamb.
It’s laid before Joshua the high priest — a type of the new covenant priesthood.
The sons of God are built upon this stone — and they are filled with the same sevenfold Spirit, seeing as He sees, judging with His righteousness. Joshua the High Priest — Clothed with Clean Garments
“Take away the filthy garments from him… I will clothe thee with change of raiment.” (Zech. 3:4)
Joshua represents the restoration of priestly identity.
His dirty garments are removed — a picture of the old Adamic nature taken away.
He is reclothed — with righteousness and purity.
He is told, “You and your fellows are men wondered at” — a prophetic declaration of sons walking in divine authority.
This is not just personal cleansing — it’s the corporate clothing of the Elect, made ready to serve before the throne. The Golden Lampstand — The Spirit-Built Temple
“Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord…” (Zech. 4:6)
Zechariah sees a golden lampstand with seven lamps, fed by two olive trees — the true temple, filled and maintained by the Holy Spirit.
The two olive trees represent anointed ministries — kings and priests (Rev. 11:4).
The oil flows without human effort — a move of God, not man.
This is the house of continual light — a people burning with revelation, not religion.
Christ is building a company not by might or system — but by Spirit-led formation. Crowning the Priest — A Priest Upon His Throne
“He shall be a priest upon His throne…” (Zech. 6:13)
Zechariah proclaims a radical revelation — a priest who is also king.
No longer will there be a split between spiritual and civil authority — in Christ, both converge.
Jesus is Melchizedek — King of Righteousness and High Priest.
His Body walks in the same dual authority.
The overcomers are crowned — not just forgiven, but enthroned.
This is the manchild company, wearing crowns not just in heaven — but to reign now in the Spirit.
The Flying Scroll and the Curse Removed
“This is the curse that goeth forth over the face of the whole earth…” (Zech. 5:3)
Zechariah sees a scroll flying — not to condemn, but to purge the house of lies and theft.
God is cleansing His house of false balances, dead religion, and hypocrisy.
The scroll is a picture of judgment unto righteousness — not destruction, but divine order restored.
The Lamb purges His temple, that He might fill it with glory and truth. Every Pot Shall Be Holy
“In that day shall there be upon the bells of the horses, HOLINESS UNTO THE LORD…” (Zech. 14:20)
In the closing vision, Zechariah sees a world fully consecrated:
Even the pots in the kitchen are called holy.
Every step, every sound, every act is sacred.
The glory is not confined to the temple — it floods the entire earth.
This is the kingdom of priests ruling in life, transforming the world — not escaping it.
Zechariah unveils a Christ who builds a temple of living stones,
anoints His sons with oil, crowns them as kings,
and declares: Not by might. Not by system. Not by flesh.
But by My Spirit.
The vision of Zechariah is the reality of the Elect —
a people clothed in glory, crowned in authority, and filled with the sevenfold Spirit of Christ. Chapter 9 Joel — The Outpouring, the Fire, and the Army of the Lord
“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh…” (Joel 2:28)
The prophet Joel stands as a trumpet-blast in the midst of devastation — a voice rising from a land stripped bare by locusts, famine, and fear. But his message is not just about judgment. It’s about restoration, outpouring, and the rising of a spiritual army filled with the breath of God.
In Joel, we see the blueprint of Pentecost, the call to repentance, and the emergence of a people like fire — the Lord’s great army, marching in divine order and power. Joel points to Jesus as the One who both pours out the Spirit and leads His people in victory.
The Locust Invasion — The Devourer Exposed
“That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten…” (Joel 1:4)
Joel opens with a terrifying vision: waves of devourers stripping the land.
This is more than insects — it’s a picture of spiritual desolation.
Religion, rebellion, and compromise have emptied the harvest.
It represents what happens when a people forget their God — emptiness, loss, and silence.
But Joel doesn’t leave us there. He declares:
“Awake, ye drunkards… call a solemn assembly… return to the Lord!”
It’s the sound of repentance before the restoration rains. The Former and Latter Rain — Divine Timing
“He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain…” (Joel 2:23)
The rains represent the outpourings of the Spirit in God’s divine timing.
The former rain prepares the seed — a picture of Pentecost.
The latter rain ripens the harvest — a picture of Tabernacles.
The rains come “in the first month” — at the appointed time of God’s choosing, not man’s manipulation.
Joel prophesies not just an emotional experience — but a flood of glory that brings full restoration. I Will Restore — God’s Promise to the Wasted Years
“I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…” (Joel 2:25)
What a promise.
Not just healing. Not just survival. But restoration of time — of fruit, purpose, and inheritance.
This is a word to the elect in this hour:
All the wasted seasons, the religious systems that devoured,
All the delay, the wilderness, the setbacks —
God says: I will restore.
And He restores not by rebuilding the old, but by releasing the new — the Spirit without measure. I Will Pour Out My Spirit on All Flesh
“Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy…” (Joel 2:28)
This verse exploded on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2), but it didn’t end there.
Joel describes a multigenerational outpouring:
Sons and daughters prophesy — speaking divine truth.
Old men dream dreams — heavenly vision restored.
Young men see visions — future and destiny opened.
This is not a revival for a few — it’s a Spirit-flooded people, full spectrum, all-in, God-indwelt.
Christ is the One who pours out the Spirit — and He is doing it again in this final outpouring. The Army of the Lord — A People Like Fire
“A fire devoureth before them… the Lord shall utter His voice before His army…” (Joel 2:3,11)
Joel sees an army rising — not natural warriors, but spiritual sons, ignited with the flame of God.
They march in order — divinely aligned and full of power.
They leap over walls — nothing stops the Spirit-filled company.
The Lord leads them with His voice — no carnal command, only divine guidance.
This is the Manchild company, the 144,000 lovers and warriors, the Zion army filled with the sevenfold Spirit, ready to execute God’s Kingdom purposes on earth.
Wonders in the Heavens — Cosmic Shaking and Kingdom Glory
“I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth…” (Joel 2:30)
The Spirit’s outpouring is accompanied by divine signs — not to bring fear, but to awaken awareness:
The sun darkened — religious systems eclipsed.
The moon turns to blood — judgment on the false church.
The heavens shaken — as the kingdoms of this world become the Kingdom of our Lord.
Joel’s prophecy merges into Revelation — a shaking that leads to unveiling, not destruction.
Whosoever Shall Call on the Name of the Lord Shall Be Delivered
“In Mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance…” (Joel 2:32)
Salvation flows from Zion — the place of God’s dwelling, the realm of His overcomers.
Those who call upon the name of the Lord enter deliverance.
But that name is now revealed in fullness — Christ in you, the hope of glory.
The Elect become the voice of deliverance, carriers of the outpoured Spirit, and harvesters in the final age.
Joel is not a story of judgment — it is a prophetic fire for the Elect:
A call to return,
A promise of restoration,
A baptism of Spirit,
And the arising of a holy army that burns like the Son Himself. Chapter 10 Malachi — The Refiner’s Fire and the Sons Who Serve in Glory
“And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver…” (Malachi 3:3)
Malachi stands as the final prophetic voice before 400 years of silence. But what a voice it is — burning with confrontation, hope, and glory yet to be revealed.
It’s not just about rebuke. It’s about refinement.
It’s not merely a warning. It’s a promise of sons purified for glory.
Malachi sees Christ not only as Messiah — but as Refiner, Messenger, and Sun of Righteousness rising with healing in His wings.
This is the last Old Testament book — but it’s pregnant with New Covenant glory. The Refiner and the Messenger of the Covenant
“The Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple…” (Mal. 3:1)
Jesus is revealed as the Messenger of the New Covenant, and His coming is not soft — it is sudden, consuming, and purifying.
He doesn’t just enter the temple — He becomes the temple.
He refines not to destroy, but to purify for service.
His fire is for the sons of Levi — a picture of those called to minister in righteousness.
This speaks to the overcoming sons, called to serve in Spirit and truth, not in tradition and form.
The Covenant of Salt — Purity, Preservation, and Priesthood
“He will purify the sons of Levi…” (Mal. 3:3)
In ancient Israel, salt was a covenant symbol — for preservation and purity. Malachi’s refiner’s fire brings the true salt back to the ministry:
He purges the mixture from the priesthood.
He prepares a generation that ministers with substance, not shadow.
These sons are not of Levi by birth — but of Christ by fire and Spirit.
This is the royal priesthood Peter spoke of — a purified people, holy and set apart to offer spiritual sacrifices. From Robbery to Restoration — The True Tithe of the Heart
“Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed Me…” (Mal. 3:8)
Though often used carnally, this rebuke reveals a deeper truth:
God is not asking for money alone, but for the honor due His name.
The Elect will bring the true tithe — the firstfruits of the Spirit, the offering of their lives.
When the true heart is returned to God, He says:
“Prove Me… I will open the windows of heaven…”
This is a picture of the restoration of the heavens — not just physical blessing, but spiritual outpouring.
The Sun of Righteousness Shall Arise
“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings…” (Mal. 4:2)
This is one of the most powerful messianic pictures in Scripture:
Christ is not called a lamb, but a sun — a blazing orb of divine glory.
His rising heals — not just bodies, but realigns nations and souls.
This rising happens in those who fear His name — the Elect who walk in the awe of God.
This is Christ in His fullness, revealed in a people who shine with healing light. Treading Down the Wicked — Dominion in the Earth
“Ye shall tread down the wicked…” (Mal. 4:3)
This is not a call to vengeance, but a promise of spiritual dominion:
The overcomers walk in the authority of righteousness.
The wicked systems and falsehoods are brought underfoot, not by force, but by the blazing truth of Christ in the saints.
This is the picture of Zion’s army ruling with justice, not violence.
The fire is not just for refining — it’s for establishing Kingdom order in the earth. The Final Word — Remember the Law, Look for Elijah
“Behold, I send you Elijah the prophet…” (Mal. 4:5)
The book closes with two pillars:
Remember the law of Moses — the foundation.
Look for Elijah — the forerunner of fire and reformation.
Jesus confirmed that John the Baptist came in the spirit of Elijah, but Elijah’s ministry is still alive — it speaks of:
The prophetic voice crying in the wilderness,
The call to turn hearts,
The restoration of all things (Acts 3:21).
Malachi ends with warning and promise — a fire that burns, unless the heart turns. The Sons Who Fear the Lord — A Book of Remembrance
“They shall be mine… in that day when I make up my jewels.” (Mal. 3:17)
Malachi sees a remnant company who fear the Lord and speak often one to another:
God listens and writes a book of remembrance — a record of intimacy.
These are His jewels, refined and prepared.
They shall return and discern — they are sons trained in righteousness, shining in the earth.
Malachi doesn’t close the door — he sets the stage.
He leaves the earth longing, burning, waiting —
For the One who comes suddenly.
And for the sons who rise in His fire,
To serve as priests, shine as suns, and walk in dominion.
This is not the end of prophecy.
It is the final trumpet of the Old —
Calling forth the fullness of the New Creation order.
The Refiner is here.
And His Sons are ready.
