Zechariah's Futuristic Prophecies - Zechariah 9:1-17, 10:1-12, 11:1-17, 12:1-14, 13:1-9, 14:1-21

There's not much difference from a tent peg and a cross nail. Do you think that's by accident? Either did I.

From Judah will come the cornerstone,
from him the tent peg,
from him the battle bow,
from him every ruler.

Last reading Christ was called Branch and here He is the tent peg. These are names for the Messiah you don't really hear in praise songs or pulpit musings, but I like them. He is the way, the light...the tent peg? Tent peg is good. It is that small humble thing that keeps the entire tent standing. From inside the tent, you might harbor the illusion that the structure protecting you from the elements is standing on its own. But take a way that tent peg and it all collapses or falls in the mildest of storms.

Jesus is our tent peg.
