16 - The Gate of Heaven (Zechariah 6:1-8; Revelation 16:12-16)
Rev. Brett A. McNeill

The woman Wickedness is the false church that honors God with her lips, but pursues an earthly religion of self-righteousness and will meet with judgment on the Last Day as she is expelled from the Promised Land and cast into the abyss.

Among the Myrtles (Zechariah 1:7-17; Nehemiah 8:13-18)

4 - Among the Myrtles (Zechariah 1:7-17; Nehemiah 8:13-18)
Rev. Brett A. McNeill

The myrtles represent the church as a pilgrim people in this world, yet comforted by the presence of God's glory during her wilderness wandering – looking toward the Last Day when she will be gathered into God's presence.
