ZECHARIAH 5
ZECHARIAH SIXTH + SEVENTH VISION SHOW GOD’S REMOVAL OF SIN
In Zechariah’s sixth vision, a massive scroll flies above him. On this scroll is a curse against thieves and liars, declaring that they will be removed and their homes destroyed. This reference to thieves and liars may also symbolize God’s disdain for Satan, who is described as both a thief and a liar (see John 10:10, John 8:44).
In his seventh vision, Zechariah sees a woman named Wickedness being carried off in a basket by stork-like flying women. The basket is taken to Babylon, symbolizing the exile of sin from Jerusalem and reflecting Israel’s past exile. Together, these visions highlight God’s intent to remove sin from His people, bringing newness and restoration.
