Zechariah 6

I am not a prophesy expert by any stretch of the imagination.  I perused various commentaries on this chapter and each had a slightly different take on the 4 horses mentioned in the first of the chapter.  … I will leave this alone, other than to say that Brennan would think that prophesy is to him as he loves horses.  However, the one agreement in the commentaries and what I can see from the scripture is that vs 12 and 13 without a doubt points to Jesus our High Priest and King.  I have friends and acquaintances that tend to view him in one light or the other.  To them, he is a judge with no mercy or a benevolent priest who does not have the authority to rule in their lives.  We must see him as Zechariah prophesied and Jesus fulfilled; He is our high Priest, but can only operate as such if we allow him to rule completely in our life as the King that he is. There are many voices in the religious world that want to portray Jesus as a God that is only interested in our happiness.  To them, he is not a ruler, but rather a cheerleader that wants us to do only what makes us happy.  It is almost as though they do not feel the need to serve him as much as they feel the need to be served.  I have found that true happiness comes through complete submission to his will and his rule in our life.
