This episode explores Zechariah 6:9–8:23 to argue that true fasting is not ritual abstinence but a life turned away from sin and toward justice and mercy. It emphasizes that the crowning of Joshua the high priest foreshadows the coming priest-king Messiah—Jesus—who will build the ultimate temple and remove sin once for all. Drawing from the people’s question “Should we continue to fast?” the message shows that their fasting, like their feasting, had been self-centered rather than God-directed; God desires a fast that looses oppression, administers justice, and shows kindness to the poor. It highlights seven oracles of promised restoration—God’s jealous love, regathered exiles, long life, peace, and blessing—followed by three visions of nations streaming to Zion, revealing that Messiah’s reign unites Jew and Gentile in one redeemed people. The takeaway is clear: live as the holy community through whom the gospel goes to every nation, turning mourning into joy until Jesus returns.
