This week we'll begin a new section of the book of Zechariah as these events take place 2 years after the visions of chapters 1-6. Some men will come with questions about a fast that they had been partaking of for 70 years and they will ask if they should continue in that fast. The Lord will then speak to them that they were fasting for all the wrong reasons and instead they should have simply been obedient. We'll also see glimpses of the millennial reign of Christ in these chapters.
