Zechariah – “The Man among the Myrtle Trees”
The man among the Myrtle Trees and the white brown and red horses. A vision about God’s favor and blessing returning to Judah after they spent seventy years in Captivity.
Zechariah “Return to me and I will return to You” says the Lord
Zechariah “Return to me and I will return to You” says the Lord
When the remnant of Israel had been captives of Babylon for 70 years, Zechariah received a revelation from God. As the forefathers of Israel continually ignored God, Israel and Judah fell to the Assyrians and the Babylonians respectively.
God told Zechariah that He still loved Israel and wanted to restore Her to the original purpose for which He had intended all along.
All that God required was that Israel turn back to Him.
“Return to me and I will return to You”.

Why does Receiving the Spirit not always immediately follow apparent believing?
Baptism in the Holy Spirit is how we become a Child of God. There are many manifestations of Baptism in the Spirit. Receiving the Spirit (another term for Baptism in the Spirit) is clearly linked to believing.
The disciples had to wait until the Spirit was given at Pentecost but now the Holy Spirit is available to all who believe in Jesus for the forgiveness of sins.
Why is it then that some people do not seem to receive the Holy Spirit immediately after apparently Believing in God?
