In this book of Zechariah, we will see many prophecies about our Lord that will give us an overflow of hope.

Zechariah means Yahweh Remembers.

He preached during Haggai's ministry and is believed to have preached until early 840 BC, before Ezra and Nehemiah.

Because of his lineage, Zechariah was a priest and prophet.

Zechariah's book is a rich tapestry of prophecies, discussing the first and second coming of Christ, the rejection of the messiah by his people, the judgment of sin, cleansing and restoration, and the promise of God to rebuild his people.

Chapters 1-8 were written during the temple's rebuilding, and chapters 9-14 were written after its completion.
