God finally answers the Bethelites question directly in verse 19 of Zechariah 8. He says, the fasts on the fourth and the fifth and the seventh and the tenth month, right? Just pause there. They asked, should we stop fasting on this one? Right? Notice how God's exposing that it just goes much deeper than they are letting on. He says, you don't just fast on this one month. You do this on the fourth and the fifth and the seventh and the tenth. No, don't do that. They are going to be transformed into seasons of joy and gladness. They are going to be transformed into fearful feasts, right? Love truth, therefore. Love that and love peace. He's calling them back to himself, calling them back to his covenant faithfulness, to how he changes you from the inside out, right? True worship flows from loving God with your heart, your soul, your mind because of what God has done for you on your behalf in salvation.
