History of
the Book of Zechariah
This
minor prophet of God declares to the people to prepare
for the Messiah. Like Haggai, Zechariah exhorts the Jews
to complete the construction of the Temple which they
have been procrastinating with for about a dozen years
or more. The building of the Temple was their
responsibility and God used Zechariah to encourage them
to action by reminding them of the future importance of
the temple. It must be built , because one day the
Messiah's glory will inhabit it. The blessing of the
Lord was also contingent upon their obedience to this
task. This was not just a building but the future. He
relates it to the coming of the Messiah in a series of
visions and messianic prophecies. Zechariah was a
younger contemporary of Haggai the prophet, Zerubbabel
the governor and Joshua the high priest. The time of
chapters 1-8 is between 520 B.C. to 518 B.C. Chapters
9-14 are undated but the references to Greece indicate a
date of somewhere around 480 B.C. to 470 B.C.
