BIB526-1 : Post Exile Zechariah

Post Exile Prophets: Zechariah. It is an unfortunate misconception that because these books are called “The Minor Prophets,” their relevance to our lives seems to be minor. This couldn't be further from the truth. The richness of life's lessons and our prophetic hope permeate every word. Don't be tricked into missing these overwhelmingly rich studies.

Zechariah: Often called the Apocalypse of the Old Testament, this most challenging little book is second only to Isaiah in its distinctiveness and importance as a Messianic prophet. It also focuses on the Day of YHWH; the return of Israel in unbelief; their passing through the Great Tribulation; the siege of Jerusalem by the confederated Gentile powers; and, their deliverance by King Messiah. (Zechariah also gives us the only physical description of the Antichrist in the Scripture.) It also may hold the solution to the enigma of “Mystery Babylon” and its relation to literal Babylon in prophecy.
