Zechariah (Click here to download or print the lesson)

"Zechariah, like Haggai was a prophet to the remnant which returned after the 70 years.  More than Haggai or Malachi, Zechariah gives the mind of God about the Gentile world-powers surrounding the restored remnant.  He has given them their authority and will hold them to account; the test, as always, being their treatment of Israel."

"Zechariah, therefore, falls into three broad divisions: I. Symbolic visions in the light of the Messianic hope. II. The mission from Babylon. III. Messiah, in rejection and afterwards in power."
