Zechariah 1:3-4
‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Return to Me and I will return to you,” says the LORD of hosts.’ Do not be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets preached, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Turn now from your evil ways and your evil deeds.” But they did not hear nor heed Me,” says the LORD.
Here the prophet Zechariah is saying, “Look at your history", and , “Don’t be like you’re your fathers who, did not respond to the call of God. Act upon what the LORD is telling you. Turn to Him and He will turn to you.”
The Truth
“Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.” (James 4:8)
