The Ephod
Let us muse today from Zechariah 5:5-11 and another of his 10 visions. The vision today is that of the ephod. In this vision Zechariah sees an ephod which is a basket the largest of the dry measurements. It was sealed with a talent of lead which is the heaviest measurement of weight. There was a woman sealed inside. It was flown by 2 angelic creatures to Shinar a large city in Babylon. The weight and measurements most believe speaks of commercialism buying and selling. The Jews knew little of this until after the captivity. They know much about it today as a matter of fact it has become their god as well as the Gentiles’ god. Zechariah seems to say it has no place of worship but should be sent back to Babylon.
