Zechariah's Night Visions (9): The Ephah That Goes Forth (Zechariah 5:5-11) by Rev. Angus Stewart
I. The Vision
II The Interpretation
George M. Ophoff on Zechariah 5:5-11: "In [the church institute] is found the carnal seed as always. For all is not Israel that is of Israel. And the carnal seed is hardened as always. And this hardening process is the curse of God in operation. He curses them. He gives them over always to do things which are not convenient; [being] filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness, full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity, whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful. And so, when the cup of iniquity is again filled up, the curse of God will strike the house of God and the sinners in it will be destroyed, then at the final appearing of Christ" (Standard Bearer, vol. 32, p. 347).
