Zechariah

Zechariah, whose name means "the Lord remembers," was a prophet of the restoration from Babylon. As a contemporary of Haggai, he began his ministry in the second year of Darius 1 Hystaspis, 520 B.C. His messages cover events beginning with the rebuilding of the Temple and concluding with the millennium. Expositors, both Jewish and Christian, have complained of the difficulty of the book. This is due largely to the visions of chs. 1-6. But no O.T. prophet has more prophecy concerning Christ, Israel, and the nations in so short a space than has Zechariah. He predicts the second coming of Christ, His reign, His priesthood, His kingship, His humanity, His Deity, His building of the Temple of the Lord, His coming in lowliness, His bringing of permanent peace, His rejection and betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, His return to Israel as the crucified One, and His being smitten by the sword of the Lord. Zechariah's prediction of other prophetic events of the end-time are equally clear and significant. In the last chapter alone the prophet discloses the last siege of Jerusalem, the initial victory of the enemies of Israel, the cleaving of the Mount of Olives, the Lord's defense of Jerusalem by His visible appearing on Olivet, judgement on the confederated nations, the topographical changes in the land of Israel, the Feast of Tabernacles in the millennium, and the ultimate holiness of Jerusalem and her people.
