Zechariah

April 5, 2020

Prophesying at the same time as Haggai, and during the return from exile recorded in the book of Ezra, Zechariah rebukes the people for breaking the covenant and calls them to repent and turn to God. There is a strong message about justice in the public square in Zechariah. There are also many references to the coming Messiah, one of which directly connects with Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem.

Scripture: Zechariah 1-14, with focus on 6:12; 9:9; 11:12; 12:10; 13:7
