Dave Pack: Four Carpenter Angels Are Coming To Build Zion

That superfantabulous mind in Wadsworth has been busy again.  Batman, Flash Gordon, Superman and Flash Gordon are coming again!

“Then said I, What come these to do? And he [said] These are the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them…[So, these four “carpenters”…and there is no possibility—none—zero—that these are men, four men. I don’t care if they are super commandos, five-star…It could be Batman, Flash Gordon and whoever else you want…Green Lantern…Well, leave him out [laughter], he has domestic problems these days, if you know…or Superman, or anybody else. These have come to “fray.” That means “to shudder with terror.”]…to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of Judah to scatter it” (vs. 18-21). The Jews have been scattered for 2,000 years.

So here are these four, we’ll call them, personages, called “carpenters” who come to get rid of the “horns of the Gentiles.” There is no possible way men can do that. The context is—and this is fascinating—God is about to expand Zion…We know that…and He is about to expand Jerusalem. But the first thing that’s going to happen is Jerusalem is going to lose some space to a bigger Zion…So Jerusalem is going to have to expand further out like a concentric circle around Zion…but you have four carpenters, so let me just explain something…This is something we are going to have to address next week…Malachi 3:1. Christ is described as coming to His Temple and yet, there is absolutely not one stone there. I’m going to explain what that means next week. How do you explain coming to a temple where there isn’t a single stone poking up over the flat platform up there? That is a BIG problem…

Obviously, you have buildings up there that shouldn’t be there, and God has to build a temple, so let’s stay with the point here—this is a four-angel construction crew. Nowhere in the Bible are angels ever called carpenters except here, right after we read God is going to build a temple, and He is going to clear space and spread two cities to do it. You have to come to grips with that, and come to grips with the fact that…If you really want to be honest…Let me tell you a deception that the Jews follow. I have never talked about it, but let me just explain it, because it will be related next week to something that is fascinating.
