Zechariah

This is not about a boy called Zech. My bible flipped to Zech 9 yesterday so I saw this. Pastor has preached on it before

Chapter 9 (Amplified)
11 As for you also, because of and for the sake of the [covenant of the Lord with His people, which was sealed with sprinkled] covenant blood, I have released and sent forth your imprisoned people out of the waterless pit.
12 Return to the stronghold [of security and prosperity], you prisoners of hope; even today do I declare that I will restore double your former prosperity to you.


What does a prisoner of jail do? Can't help but stay in jail lor... what to do. Then what does a prisoner of hope do? Can't help but stay in hope. So I think think, I suddenly realize we ought to stay in hope, stay there... not hoping it today & forgeting it tomorrow... is that right? And He restores everything X 2 to us! That sounds like a very good deal.

Then what's my part? What do I have to do? Like nothing leh... just hope. He will do everything.

So in Beng's terms, He's saying, "Oei! Get out of your own jail. Come to the prison of hope. I promise you, everything give you double. Sui bo?" Ok ok this is my paraphrase... please see authorized bible versions for reference

God is so Good
