The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.
Can you imagine a world where everything is dedicated to the service of God—where even the pots and pans in your kitchen sing of the holiness of God? That’s in the Millennial Kingdom when God’s peace covers the earth. Discover more details about this amazing time period on God’s calendar in our final study of Zechariah.
Zechariah prophesies about end times with a description of the “Day of the Lord,” including the tragic last siege of Jerusalem and the glorious advent of the Messiah.
What will happen to the saints living in the Great Tribulation period? Learn more as Zechariah gives further details about the coming Millennium.
Our conversation of world peace continues as Zechariah describes the second coming of Jesus Christ and we gain a glimpse of His glorious kingdom.
Zechariah tells of the pivotal day when God will pour out the Holy Spirit upon Israel, and the Jews will recognize their Messiah and mourn for their rejection of Him.
Although Jerusalem will become the center of the antichrist’s activity, in this study we learn that ultimately it becomes a refuge for God’s people.
s the world ready for the antichrist? As we turn the pages of Zechariah, Dr. McGee says, “Although there is bad news ahead for this world, we can look beyond these things and rejoice in the hope and promise of Jesus Christ’s return.”
Our study of Zechariah, also known as the prophet of hope, continues with “Zechariah’s parable” as we see a picture of Israel’s rejection of the Messiah and the consequent destruction of their nation.
Some people believe God has given up on the ten so-called “lost tribes” of Israel. But were they ever really lost? That’s one of the great things our teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee discusses in our continuing study of Zechariah.
“Jesus is the only one in the saving business today.” That’s the straight talk we get from Dr. J. Vernon McGee in this study of Zechariah. Learn more about amazing prophecy and God’s future plan for Israel and the entire world.
Did you know the devil imitates Bible prophecy? He’s been using the same scheme from the beginning of time. Discover what that scheme is and the only thing that is guaranteed to defeat Satan’s plans.
Peace on earth. We’re going to hear that phrase a lot as our study of Zechariah continues. But is it possible? Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells where this peace might come from, and it may be different than we think.
Remember when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a small donkey on what we call “Palm Sunday”? The people went crazy, celebrating and waving palm fronds, shouting “Hosanna!” Hear Zechariah’s prophecy of this event and get a broader picture of the important statement Jesus was making.
Alexander the Great was a cruel and brutal general, but did you know the prophet Zechariah foretold his story some 200 years before? Dr. J. Vernon McGee takes us through this amazing prophecy and outlines its fulfillment.

There is a glorious future that awaits God’s chosen—that’s the picture we’ll see in this study of Zechariah 8. Follow along and take a look at the day when the people and land are restored by the grace of God.
Why doesn’t God answer our prayers? That’s the question the Israelites were asking, and it’s a question many of us ask too. Find out from the Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, why God didn’t answer them, and perhaps we’ll discover why He may not be answering us today.
Are you a good person? Dr. J. Vernon McGee answers that question for himself, and for you and me in this study of Zechariah 7. Follow along as he takes a look at traditions in the church today (baptism and communion) and how we should approach them.
The people in Israel were bored with their rituals, and God became bored with their worship. Follow along as their continuing story of disobedience and God’s reaction unfolds.
Do ceremonies and rituals matter in our worship? In this study, we’ll learn the key to answering this question is the state of the heart. As Dr. McGee tells us, “When the heart (our relationship with God) is right, the ritual is right; when the heart is wrong, the ritual is wrong.”
Zechariah’s ten visions tell a story and outline history for us. In this powerful study, we’ll be reminded that God’s purpose is not for nations to prosper, but for Jesus Christ to reign—and God’s purpose, not man’s, will prevail.
Whether you’re a practiced student of prophecy or you find it intimidating, you’ll appreciate this look at Zechariah’s visions. Dr. McGee zeros in on the four chariots of judgment Zechariah saw in his vision and tells us about the significance of “the branch” that represents Jesus Christ.
When will God say “enough” to evil? Find out in Zechariah’s tenth vision, as he pictures the world at war like history has never experienced before. As Dr. J. Vernon McGee reverently describes it, “the red horseman rides through the earth, and all hell will break loose.”
We continue our study of Zechariah’s bizarre, yet meaningful, vision of the flying scroll and learn how God will judge greed and commercialism in Israel.
Are the Ten Commandments a thing of the past? Or do they have value for us today? Discover the answer to that question as we study Zechariah’s important vision of the flying scroll.
Our exploration of what it takes to serve the Lord continues as we take a deeper look at Zechariah’s vision of the lampstand and learn more about the importance of the Holy Spirit within our lives.
Do you have what it takes to serve the Lord? Find out as we explore Zechariah’s vision of the lampstand and the important message it has for us today.
Can a Christian sin? If so, what are the consequences? Learn the answers to these questions and more as we dig deeper into Zechariah’s vision of Joshua.
Dr. McGee says, “Zechariah’s head may be ‘up in the clouds,’ but his prophecy helps us see ourselves down on earth with a much better perspective.” Learn more about the continuity between Zechariah’s seemingly separate visions and how they can help us walk with the Lord.
Zechariah’s visions continue with a look at the future of Israel. Learn more about the reign of the Prince of Peace and why this prophecy should encourage us as much as it encouraged the people of Israel.
Compared to New York, Paris, or Rome, the city of Jerusalem would hardly qualify as one of the world’s most popular cities, but in this study of Zechariah, we learn that in the future, Jerusalem will be “the center of the earth.” Hear how it will be rebuilt, restored, and inhabited after the Great Tribulation.
“Is world peace possible?” As we study Zechariah’s vision of the four horns and four workmen, Dr. J. Vernon McGee answers this question and reminds us that all prophecy must be put in light of God’s eternal program.
Even though there’ll be no peace in this world until Jesus returns, as believers we can have peace in our hearts when we allow Jesus to be our Lord and Savior. That’s one of the important things we’ll hear in this study of Zechariah’s first vision.
The book of Zechariah contains more messianic prophecies than any of the other minor prophets. In the dark day of discouragement which blanketed the remnant, Zechariah saw the glory in all of the rapture and vision of hope. Be encouraged by this Old Testament prophet and priest.
“Let’s be faithful and then let’s work.” That’s the wisdom our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee leaves us with as we learn from the life of Zerubbabel and realize we may never know how important our work is for God.
Our study of important life lessons continues as we learn from Haggai how we today can make our hearts right with God and receive His blessings.
If you’re standing between a rock and a hard place today, you aren’t alone. Learn from Haggai that even in the hard places, we stand in the love of God. As Dr. McGee says, “Although His love may include a lot of hammering and chiseling—it’s all intended to make us more like Jesus.”
Some day in heaven when God is passing out rewards, who do you think might be one of the most honored persons? Paul? Peter? Maybe it’s someone you’ve never heard of and whose story has never been told. Dr. J. Vernon McGee gives us surprising insight to that future scene.
The writer of Proverbs says, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.” That’s the same important message we receive in this study from the Old Testament prophet Haggai who reminds us to obey and fear God in all we do.
God may be speaking to us today through our difficult circumstances, even as He spoke to the people through Haggai. That’s what we see as we study the people’s response to Haggai’s message from the Lord.
“Where are you headed? What are your goals in life?” These are some of the important questions we’ll ponder as the prophet, Haggai, reminds the people to work hard, avoid laziness, and obey God’s commands to put Him first.
What happens when God’s people become complacent and lazy? Dr. McGee shares the answer to this question as we hear Haggai speak some uncomfortable truth to religious and civil leaders that can be applied to our lives today.
Pragmatic. A man of action. Preacher and practicer. That’s how one might describe the prophet Haggai. As our teacher Dr. McGee says, “Haggai doesn’t have his head in the clouds, he gets right down to the nitty gritty, where the rubber meets the road.” Learn more about Haggai and his relationship to Zechariah and Malachi.
How can believers stand for God in difficult days? Dr. McGee says the answer is really very simple: “He should be Lord of our lives. We should give Him glory. We should tell how wonderful He is, of his might and power. We need to hold Him up to the world.”
In this study, Jude provides an overview of man’s threefold nature and reminds us that our best protection against apostates is studying the Word and praying in the Spirit.
