BUSTED - 12 False theories refuted:

There's definitely a pattern there.

Yes, the pattern is that if a Prophecy which can happen literally, but does not conform to a pre-conceived belief, then it is dismissed and relegated to either- Just a spiritual pronouncement, - Already happened in the past, - or just a meaningless and inconsequential Bible passage.

Zechariah 9:1-6, has more to say about the Lords plans for the ME area. ....Gaza will write in terror...their leaders will be gone.....

The pattern is that you're dismissing/ignoring what Scripture says because it doesn't fit with your beliefs.

The measurements are wrong for a modern nuclear bomb? No problem, Zechariah was only guessing the measurements.
The statement that the scroll and basket are two different objects? Ignore the fact that Hebrew probably uses two different words, and insist that they are both the same.

We should allow Scripture to shape us and not allow our ideas to shape/rewrite Scripture.

I don't know Hebrew, but a look in the Concordance shows me that the Hebrew word translated "scroll" is m gillah. The Hebrew word translated "basket" is eyphah, which is the same word sometimes used for the measurement "ephah." SoHebrew definitely does use two completely different words for "scroll" and "basket."

Keras with the quotation of Zachariah 9:1-6 you mention. It goes on to mention the destruction of Tyre which had flourished under King Hiram the 1st from 1000BC. they boasted and trusted in their power as masters of the sea. Part of the prophecy you mention is already fulfilled prophecy. Alexander the Great through a monumental feat of engineering used some 20,000 men to build a causeway out to the island of tyre completed in332 BC. In 332 BC Tyre was no more . And Gaza did not fare much better in future campaigns. Much of what you are quoting is already fulfilled scripture. I thought I might bring that to your attention. Perhaps you did not know . I only point that out to you for you to perhaps further reevaluate your conclusion on such scriptures . Yours Kathleen

There are many Prophesies which have a dual fulfilment. Even triple. Tye remains as a city today.
This does not mean that a final and complete fulfilment won't happen in the future.

There are several Prophesies that say how the entire Middle East region, will be depopulated and cleansed. How the Lord Himself will send fire to achieve it. In a disastrous event, of a similar magnitude as Noah's flood.

Sure; they are different objects.
The 'scroll' refers to the outer casing of a missile and the 'ephah', refers to its contents.

I am quite astounded at the reaction of some people to my understanding of Zechariah 5.
Zechariah was one of God's Prophets. He accurately Prophesied Jesus riding a donkey. Zech 9:9 He informs us that the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse were operating in ancient times; Zech 1:8-10 & 6:1-8
He saw how Iran has prepared nuke missiles, Zech 5, and he saw how the Lord will prevail over those attackers and protect His own peoples. Zechariah 9:13-16
THEN Zechariah 8:1-9 says how the Lords Holy peoples will inherit Zion and build the new Temple.
Why do people think all this is impossible?

Nope.
The contents of the basket was a woman. The angel lifted the lid of the basket and pushed her back down inside.
Nowhere does it say that the scroll was opened and the contents of it were the basket - which doesn't make sense anyway.

I am quite astounded at the reaction of some people to my understanding of Zechariah 5.

You're astounded because we're shocked that you are not reading Scripture correctly?
