Explain the image in Zechariah 2:18-20: Then I looked up, and there before me were four horns. 19 I asked the angel who was speaking to me, “What are these?” He answered me, “These are the horns that scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.” 20 Then the Lord showed me four craftsmen. 21 I asked, “What are these coming to do?” He answered, “These are the horns that scattered Judah so that no one could raise their head, but the craftsmen have come to terrify them and throw down these horns of the nations who lifted up their horns against the land of Judah to scatter its people.”[
Horns = power and control These horns are various nations who were in control over Judah, Israel and Jerusalem. They were the countries that scattered these Israelites in exile and humiliation. Craftsman = normal people craftsman = Jesus, as a carpenter, has come to terrify the others or bring to justice. God is bringing the nations to justice through ordinary people in his world, ultimately through Jesus, who came as an ordinary person (even though he is God). He brought justice by being treated unjustly.

What are the differences between all the religions and Christianity?
In each you have to work to be saved/are not quite sure if you are ever saved where as in Christianity, your salvation relies on God himself through Jesus. Hope in Christianity is certain not 'a wish/want'. God came and fixed the problem in Christianity.
