I highly recommend this book of prophecy. I shall give a full review tomorrow.

“‘Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, “Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings:” but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me,’ saith the LORD.” (1:4)
“‘Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee,’ saith the LORD. Be silent, O all flesh, before the LORD: for he is raised up out of his holy habitation.” (2:10, 13)
“And [the angel of the LORD] answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, ‘Take away the filthy garments from him.’ And unto [Joshua] he said, ‘Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.’” (3:4)
“And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of the LORD, and ye shall know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.” (6:15)
“Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, ‘Execute true judgment, and shew mercy and compassions every man to his brother: and oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.’” (7:9-10)
“‘These are the things that ye shall do; Speak ye every man the truth to his neighbour; execute the judgment of truth and peace in your gates: and let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate,’ saith the LORD.” (8:16-17)
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off: and he shall speak peace unto the heathen: and his dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even to the ends of the earth.” (9:9-10)

A prophet to Judah near the end of the exile, speaking about the building of the new Jerusalem, and the future messianic king who will be a priest and a king over Israel (connected symbolically to Joshua and Zerubbabel, two central figures in this book). It is a book of strange dreams and hopeful/dreadful promises, very similar in tone to Revelation - which draws much of its symbolism from Zechariah. It is also a key book for understanding the life, ministry, and prophetic symbolism of Jesus, the messianic king who rides in on a donkey and is rejected. But it is not just prophetic promise - it is also an ethical and covenantal corrective. The Kingdom will come, but it is contingent on the people of God being faithful to the covenant, to justice, to truth.

I read through the Bible every year, a habit I started as a teen in 1974 and it has changed my life. I love reading Zechariah. Every chapter has golden nuggets of prophecy of the Lord Jesus - His person and His work. Chapter 12 even proves that Jesus is Jehovah God. This is a great book [as are all the books of the Bible].

Zechariah 9:9
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass.

I really enjoyed this one! Especially the hints at Jesus! Such a great, refreshing read

In my opinion, the most "prophetic" of the 12 minor prophets. There are angels and crowns and a lot of allusions to our Lord Jesus!
Zechariah was the father of John the Baptist.
